Are African
Americans done in Chicago?
Sure looks like it! According
the Chicago Sun times columnist Michael Sneed, President
Barack Obama and his family may not move back to
Chicago. They may stay in the East, or move to Southern California. Can
you blame them? The Black neighborhoods
on the south side of Chicago are filled with crime, bad public schools, and
long hard winters. The real problem here in Chicago is
too many Black men are uneducated, unskilled, unsocialized, and therefore unemployable. The
President and the First Lady could provide some hope and change to African American
Chicago, but they probably will need a break after eight long years a being disrespected.
The African American community in Chicago is on the ropes and
ready to be knocked out. It seems like no
charismatic, or messianic leader is coming from the heavens to save Black
people in Chicago. So it may be time for
African Americans it throw in the towel and leave Chicago, or we could organize
and improve our neighborhood elementary school.
90% of African American boys in the Chicago Public Schools read below their
grade level. If we don't raise Black
boys who are well behaved and literate, we will continue to have Black men and thus low income Black neighborhoods
that are null and void.

That's why I'm so excited about this new group: ParentPowerChicago! They're trying to level the academic playing field for African-American children.
