Paradigm shift: A way from one way of thinking to another…
By nature some human beings resist change–in our community Black and Latino–historically speaking we have always been forced to make change due and from the neglect or “look the other way”, it does not affect me attitudes, the insidiousness we have seen over the years has indeed festered in our communities of color…oh yea! we have beautified some areas, but it does not match-up—we see the dis-ease of our youth manifest in violence…we see the outcome of entire families broken up from the losses, we see our children snatched away and placed foster-care, we see talent and gifts wasted as a result of drug addiction. At this hour in our history WE SHOUL NO LONGER TOLERATE BUT CELEBRATE THE RISE OF OUR VOICES THAT SHOUT–”NO MORE, WE ARE GOING TO TAKE-BACK OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR CHILDREN’S RIGHT TO A QUALITY LIFE” NOT ANOTHER GENERATION WILL BE SNATCHED AWAY!”
