More to often we see young blacks and latino become victims of the Prison Industrial Complex. A system that has put into place certain political actions that create economic disadvantages and barriers on rightful resources. Our community tends to feed into this down play that these politicians have on our youth and their lively hood. looking down on them and stereotyping them as criminals when in reality they are bored, outcast by their teachers and regarded as disruptive kids. The mere reality is that the poor conditions of their surroundings are the cause and effect of their mental and emotional outbursts.
Our Youth today have become main stream targets for corporate exploitation and political clout. A teen that doesnt get a fair education and is exposed to all the glamour that corporate media portrays becomes trapped with the want to have or be someone he or she only saw on tv. Since fair education wasnt available this teen can only think of a quick way to get to that glamor. Thus, you have your youth entering into criminal activity. Since the adult population is either no longer interested in these new trend of style and no longer pursue those wants. The adults no longer become targets for human storage at the prison complex and the attention is put on the youth of today. They commit crimes on each other for a few meager bucks just to buy what those corporations are promoting. Becoming enchanted with dreams of having more than or being more than others.
With laws like the patriot act which ad more time to youth crimes and classify them as terrorist. The suburban communities whose main income is the correctional facilities built in them, now can secure their lively hood by receiving the funding these youth bring to their communities. Fundings that could have been for where these youth really live. But since they are housed in a rural community somewhere upstate which becomes their residence. These counties in turn get those fundings for the bodies they have wharehoused as residents of their counties and thrive as a community. Thus, the political clout that caging our youths brings to politicians.
Our Youth have become a capitalistic pawn to secure the rural lively hood in upstate new york. Then they are disenfranchised on voting when they return in order to further secure that capitalistic democracy that put in place the Prison Industrial Complex in the first place.

This is an ever increasing pandemic my kids too are now victims of this they are miss classified as and miss diagnosed put into these schools like PS 186 thats is run like a prison I felt like I was in C-74 when I brought him thier this is one onr the many reasons out kids act out because they fully understand the labels that the new age psychology has placed on them as troubled youth this thinking has replaced, down to earth love and support for kids. NYPD does not care because its not there kids. until its there kids that are on the auction block they will not care and that will never happen cause they are protected when will our kids have the same protection we PAY THERE SALARY'S
ReplyDeleteoops srry the top post is me free
ReplyDeleteSHADOW S LIGHT, YOU GOT IT RIGHT! WE already have the power to jam the revolving prison gate: No youth, no gate. Our power is to nurture self respect in our youth by saying out front and often how we value them, by listening to their hearts with our hearts, by demonstrating how we are one community (not a collection of individuals and families), and by teaching them the Transforming Power of Love.
ReplyDeleteWhen they have to pass guards and a metal detector in long lines before starting school, they can settle their breathing, relax their bodies and use humor to ease the stupidity around them. When they comment on the "stupid discipline" we can share how we felt about being humiliated -- and tell a joke on ourselves. When they blame the cops and the AP's, we can retell the story of Civil Rights and the power of Community Nonviolence around the world -- right now Egypt and Tunisia are in the news. When they succeed in being cool under oppression, we can recognize and celebrate their victory.
I have recommended Alternatives to Violence Project workshops and Peace Dojo training, because they concentrate the soul force of those who went before (there are others, too). Blaming wastes energy. ¡Fuerza y Amor a la comunidad querida!
