We are in accord. I do not believe it is a Zero Sum Game...where there must be winners and losers - that is how it's presented not necessarily the true situation.. Since 2011, at least 22 states have closed or announced closures for 94 state prisons and juvenile facilities, resulting in the elimination of over 48,000 state prison beds1 and an estimated cost savings of over $345 million.2 The opportunity to downsize prison bed space has been brought about by declines in state prison populations as well as increasing challenges of managing older facilities. Reduced capacity has created the opportunity to repurpose closed prisons for a range of uses outside of the correctional system, including a movie studio, a distillery, and urban redevelopment. https://www.sentencingproject.org/reports/repurposing-new-beginnings-for-closed-prisons/ More than two decades later, those promises ring hollow in Tecumseh, where the 960-bed facility has become more burden than boon, adding to the city’s court costs while doing little to help the town’s economy grow. https://www.yahoo.com/now/small-towns-used-see-prisons-100013293.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAKMfohnAssqSx4cJTC7etHvjsZlpQfi5DJqwwfMErprA9XJzR-pltBgE2xYUGYJM6FmXuLoRxqiVSTS97Rci5v3_spGOs4WnQECvBpEcFKb6JcvSb-UzmGa9rJWwqowRwQ7kLI1lDsTWgCx2B6IS8E2chDkZkcm2rEkQlIvWdcED It is troubling because one of the purpose of civilization is to continually reduce or mitigate that which is considered bad in the human experience.

Researchers have sent molecules containing either 58 or 114 atoms through the so-called "double-slit experiment," showing that they cause an interference pattern that can only be explained if the particles act like waves of water, rather than tiny marbles. https://www.livescience.com/19268-quantum-double-slit-experiment-largest-molecules.html What we do know is that our physical bodies consist of atoms that do...this directly address our conventional idea of reality. Maybe Cats do not exist in wave form when not observed.....but the Atoms they consist of do - how then is this reconcile with reality?

I think he was referring to the Promise That the Statue of Liberty represents and fulfilled for many Europeans - "Give me your tired your poor" Cornel is a Professor/ commentator/ pundit / and Political Activist....So far he he is Now a Political Candidate and a Potential (Black) Leader Black Prophetic Fire.....Liberation Theology (Romero) - Black Liberation Theology (Cone) Cornel West: The Difference Between Justice and Revenge | Big Think Re-Introduce America to The True Promise of the Constitution and to Live up to that Creed. The so called Lack that leads to poverty is not one Scarcity or Expense.....But a Policy of Maldistribution of Resources. 75% of All prisoners are illiterate....That statistic demonstrates the need for Proper education and Coping skills training That is what Leaders do....envision the seemingly impossible, the down right unpopular and create ways and means to realize the Dream - like Martin's Nonviolent Movement for Black Civil Rights Leaders do not seek popularity or consensus of expediency.....but Truth Justice and Integrity with Love. There is Over 16million Abandoned homes/houses in the USA vs approximately 500 thousand homeless....There is already enough money - Fiat money The United States spend more on the military than the next 10 highest spending countries combined....Maybe some of those monies can be spend else to monitor and ensure peace. Again True leadership is not a popularity contest.....but one of finding creative solutions. All black peoples was and is being helped by the Emancipation Proclamation and the Civil Rights movement... Cornel West run is a Further demand for Truth and Justice.

He has always been a role model for me......Now all his dirty laundry will be aired - hope he survives it.

Yes our definitions do differ.... Being Black and in a Position of Leadership does not make one a Black Leader either in my Opinion....Shared Skin Color does not guarantee or imply Loyalty. Those in positions of Leadership are often bureaucrats at worst and managers at best....rarely are they Leaders The Two individuals you mention to me are not Leaders but Politicians and as such one should not look to them for direction....instead one should Organize around the Issues, Build Consensus, Control the Narrative and Influence Public Opinion - Then one maybe fortunate enough to get politicians to act in your favor. Yes that is often the case since Blacks in Position of Leadership owe their position to Whites. An Improved Black Community is an Improved USA.... These are not contending forces or communities in terms of if you have one you can not have the other - they are not mutually exclusive. True...but troubling.

True The Quantum is a basic part of Our Observable reality. The Spiritual among us holds as true the Maxim " As above so below" Matthew 6:10. Agreed True As a corollary the Double slit experiment shows that Atoms (seemingly) know when they are being Observe and behave differently.... which has led to the idea that reality as we know it comes into Being when we Observe a thing....(Of course they are more factors involve). Once the Cat is no longer being Observed it is in Wave Form....Is it still a cat or only a Potential Cat? Atoms tend to be in the Wave Form when not being Observed.....Once Observe Atoms they then it collapse into Particle Form. The Change from Wave to Particle is the act of creation of Reality.

Of course there are better ways.....If you can avail yourself of them Often we use what's at hand to show our dismay.

Do not mistake Politicians as Leaders...More often than not Politicians are Managers - and seek to see which way is more Expedient than what is Right and Just. Black politicians are notorious for having allegiance to those who support their candidacy with cash....than those who vote them in. Politicians are consensus builders and test all idea as to how much and what type of support it will garner before doing anything. A Leader does not seek popularity or expediency but Inspires and Motivates for that which is True Just and Right. Every struggle has its own unique situations and circumstances.... There are plans and outlines.....even Laws and Precedents - Indemnity, Theft, etc. Reparations as a movement is not seen by most black as Urgent, Imperative or possible......Critical Mass has not been achieve as a result it bog down in the quagmire of Intellectualism (paralysed by analysis) - More Important the Land of the Blacks the Home of the Black is still struggling with Neo-colonialism.

We learn by sharing....each one teach one - challenging our assumptions forces us to think deeper and research more.

Power Concedes nothing without a Demand If there is no struggle there is no progress.... Frederick Douglas Check out N'cobra

The Apparent Situation The President Macky Sall....is backpedaling on his promise not to run for a third term - truth be told he has not answered the question when directly ask. The opposition Candidate who stands a chance of defeating him and or his party is facing prison time.....that Many believe is politically motivated The Real Issue. For years now the 14 African countries in the CFA economic community has been trying to liberate themselves for what is euphemistically call the "Colonial Tax". These African Countries pay to france annually 50 billion (euros) which is roughly equivalent to 20% of the entire French economy. There have been changes, some have left (7) and the CFA is set to be replaced by the ECO... In 2019 the Italian Deputy PM accuses France of creating and perpetuation poverty in Africa.... The fact that France and Quattara backs the ECO's introduction.....Makes my very suspicious. Nigeria is the power in the region and will definitely be lobbying AU/ECOWAS to send troops if matters escalate. Most believe the Courts have been compromised....

Below I quote: It was your incredulity that I was challenging and proved. "If" so you did not. No Arguments here A Muslim brother it seems of Egypt. No it was not them who unearth the codices...

Which I also qualified.. Training is education.....but it is not the only type of education. Its like risk....there are many types of Risk When you dealing with intellectually disingenuous people you always have to be clarifying

Yes....They wanted a larger share and role in the International Marketplace 1. Lingua Franca.....the Language of International Trade - English 2. Defacto Global Reserve Currency - All international Trade is and was done in - Dollars 3. More Land - Resources. Yes... In a Nutshell 1. Mugabe's ZANU-pf Defeated Ian Smith of Rhodesia....Rhodesian Bush war/The Second Chimurenga. 2.Lancaster House Accord Negotiated by the British was Ratified - willing buyer willing seller( white/europeans had 90% of the arable land) 3. Margaret Thatcher refused to honor the agreement sign by the previous British Government. 4. Former ZANU-pf Fighters began to take over white own land by Force. 5. Western Countries cried foul and employed sanctions against Zimbabwe. 6. Zimbabwe economy went into free fall and Foreign Interventionist Policies was set in motion for the removal of Mugabe. 7. AU/SADC stood with Mugabe (excluding two member nation of SADC) 8. Zimbabwe Triumph. Mugabe's Major Supporter outside of Africa was North Korea. A Type of Cuban Missile Crisis in Reverse....back then Russia was encroaching directly in the US Sphere of Influence.

It is in the "Gathering" of hopefully the same "Facts" wherein so called race makes no difference. The Organizing and Use to which it is put is usually different. I am If so then you should not have used the term someone....gotch ya Because they have Ears and Memory No recorders only record the effects of vibrations. Exactly....we all do not observe the same way Well that is true.....The flower did not change for You Observer effects is saying that our perception of the flower has an effect that can be measured. The whole topic is too deep for me.....but i make and attempt regardless.

True True He was an Educator/teacher.

True Science has nothing to do with Ethnicities(Race)....The experiment was fundamental in understanding the wave function of particles. It has nothing to do with the cat but everything to do Observation and the Human Mind Maybe not....but it definitely saved many a living bodies from turning corpse. 1. Not true...if by someone you mean a human being 2. How can you hear without the apparatus of Hearing 3. Recordings need Ears to hear....you still did not hear the tree fall but a recording. There is a well known Phenomena called Eye Witness (testimony) Bias or Construction....In which two individual sees the same thing or incident and give two different and sometimes conflicting account. True...the flower did not change The two observation of the flower will be different. The So called objective reality is Pure Potential....what we are learning is that mere observation has an effect on Objectivity causing Change. Maybe not, depending on what and how Time Is .......until it's found and observed it may no exist - Schrodinger's cat

That there are many types of God. I never said that was his secret Name....I posted a verse as you were contending that the Name "Jah" was not biblical. Did you look up the meanings? You are Mistaken ......I am in search of that word/Name Yes ..Or belong to the same Civilization - (group of Planets) I Think that Sumerian and Egyptian are the originating source for many bible stories.....As a result many words in the bible may indeed be borrowed from other languages. Jesus Said we are all God's Children....I think it is different from Sons of God. Jesus is speaking to a Neteru or Principle(Spirit).....While Sons of God seems to speaking of Physical Beings. This Idea is said to have come from scroll/codices unearth in Egypt in 1900's of writings dated from the 2nd century....it was actual research findings.

As your quote below of my word prove my point .....I implied from early that the risk the Rich take is calculated Just living is a type of fundamental risk that every living thing takes not by choice....it is not exclusive to the rich or taken more by the risk Thus your argument is specious and disingenuous. Thanks again for proving my point so emphatically.. Training is a form of (Physical) Education.

They were not Observing conscious or self aware beings....but Atoms and Photons. Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment....Only upon observation does the Cat die or live or If A tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear does it make a sound...No it make no sound until a Ear is there to hear it For two hundred years Gravity was a Force ......Today it's a bend in Space Time. You missing the Point....With observation comes our bias and preconceptions. Sense Bias...A blind person who who have never seen a flower will describe it completely different from someone who sees a flower. conceptual Bias... A Botanist will see a flower quite different from a lay observer. Your scenario presupposes that I would observe a tilt....I very well may not - optical illusion We do not observe what's out there.....we interpret what's useful. It doesn't matter whether they hypothesized before ... As soon as they observe the find, they begin to theorize what it is... My responds stands....repetition is neither evidence or proof

So it seems there are various levels of Truth. One level is the most convicted....in other words - Faith. Reality is What We agree on and is molded by the hands of Conviction Can you elaborate? This base on the Idea of OverSouls.....Anima Mundi. Humanity has a Archetype to which all individual Human beings are but a part. As such there is a level at which we are undifferentiated....At that level deception is Impossible. Echoes of this Oneness is experience when we can tell by looking ....exactly what someone else is experiencing by their expressions(tells)

Thank you The Observer Effect implies that when a Phenomenon is being Observed it Changes "states that by the very act of watching, the observer affects the observed reality." https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1998/02/980227055013.htm Yes.....they existed as Pure Potential. It is your knowledge and Perception why you say it is a million yrs old bones....some one else may say different. Our Naming (labelling) it crystalizes into Reality

My Point is the Risk of Living .....you have no choice in the matter - it is a risk All living things MUST take The Risk of whether or not to invest your money in hopes of financial gain....Is a Risk many do not get to have or take - Hence its a matter of Choice.. Your argument is disingenuous so yes I realize I had to qualify my meaning. No it's more like saving an Employee is a Chattel slave. If that's where they best serve the community then so be it Horticulture....Bonsai pruning is training - training is education The can also mean more than one.... 1. denoting one or more people or things already mentioned or assumed to be common knowledge. https://www.google.com/search?q=the+define&oq=the+define&aqs=chrome..69i57j46i433i512j0i512l7.9521j1j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8https://www.google.com/search?q=the+define&oq=the+define&aqs=chrome..69i57j46i433i512j0i512l7.9521j1j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF- 4 : designed to elude observation or detection https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/secret

Take it how you please... Here is how i see it ...I paraphrase. 1. I say.. the black rich do invest in black communities 2. You say ..their investments are too low. 3. I say.. Someone has yet to show them how profitable it is hence a worthy risk. 4. You say... The Rich take risk all the time. 5. I say.. The rich do not take risk ....they take calculate risk 6. you say....you coming around. Every Living Thing take daily the Risk of Being Alive.....Not just the rich people Thats been your Opinion.....I am saying there is no such thing as garbage it just energy in the wrong place. Why the suspense.....Name the uneducatible Living thing. Glad to read we are making progress..... Did I say it was the Only Requirement??? You are creating straw men arguments. It is a secret to those who do not know.

All Truth must first be Subjective......It's always your Perspective and Perception. The Objective is a Projection of the Subjective.....Reality is An interpretation of Stimuli impacting our organs of Perception What Happened can also be opinion ........just as "what is" can be an interpretation. We truly have but One Physical Sense and that is "Feelings" but five ways of using .
