Modern Revolution: An Uprising In Egypt

I may not be well versed in socio-political intricacies of Cairo Egypt, but i know revolution. Cairo is experiencing brilliant revolution in its purest form. Cairo Egypt has been plagued with an authoritarian regime that is unable to sufficiently provide for the people.  A remissed ex-egyptian air force officer as dictator who is unwilling to step down. A people who are no longer afraid of the the theat indigenous security forces pose. The continued pacification of the Cairo Egyptian people exemplifies the level of temerity Mubarak hold for society. A forced change in leadership is necessary for the stability and sovereignty of the Caironian government. The people of Cairo have been experiencing a depleting economy, conspiracy propaganda facilitated by the government, and an all to common case of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. The people are fed up. With these classic comparts of a revolution, people take to the streets. Demanding the removal of the tyrannical leadership that is to blame. Without the total removal of Cairo's leadership the people are likely to fall subject to the same treatment by new leadership. The people must bring into fruition their own government. Historically the dictatorship in Egypt has been demoralized since the early 1950's plagues with assassination and arrest.

"that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it..." -ElBaradei

The people are longing for a since of solidarity. A representation by a responsive government which answers the needs and grievances of the community. A progressive and fiscally prudent administration bringing stability to the economy. The people want the tenents of basic government adequately fulfilled. This sentiment is being expressed by people around the world and here in America

   The people themselves must form the government that they deserve

Black Leader vs Black Followers: The Indifference Shared

Imagine living during a time when African Americans where strategically politically disenfranchised. A time when the ruling class not only posed an economic threat, but also a physical. Aided by local and federal government, these types of injustices warranted resistance. Such atrocities spawned a "fight back" with a resilience that mirrors Haitian revoltism. This type of oppression is founded in the belief of ethno-genetic superiority. A pseudo science with it's underlying premise being: a race of people exist which are closest to the direct descendants of those(gods) which created humans. Not to be confused with the "religious" god which we are most familiar with. I digress.

-Should the onus of deficient black leadership be hoisted upon the shoulders of those who lead, or would it be more veracious to appropriate fault across Followers and Leaders the same?

 Black leaders as early on as the 1940's and 50's where extremely relevant do to the socio-political structure of the United States in that day. The plight of the oppressed resonated in the core of those that lead. "If I'm going to get beat to death at least let me(the community) get something for it". -Marion Berry. The likes of this abrasive vernacular had never been heard before within the walls of DC government building. A sacrificial selflessness seldom seen or heard today. I ask you the question: what did black people want of which they were being deprived of? Political inclusion, communal programs(socialist aid) and sufficient education. After the Renaissance era collegiate education was becoming prominent in the black community; Enlightening the negro to the necessity of representation in public office."We live in a world in which politics has replaced philosophy" -unknown author.  Black wanted political inclusion. A void which enable the ruling class govern blacks communities in a manner that  paralleled a slave to slave master relationship.

With the lack of viable employment(gainfully), communal program such as the youth breakfast program and mobile med clinic became came a necessity for the people. The need and want for these program served as a platform for black leader to demonstrate their self worth. As a result of the hard work and perseverance exemplified in that time, these objectives have been met.

With the coming of the first black president the pinnacle of political inclusion is in the here and now. Medicaid and federally founded school breakfast programs have replaced/negated the efforts of black groups which solidified themselves in socialist organizing. The efforts of the federal gov to pacify community influence of black leader crippled their once powerful adoration. hence i ask: what do blacks want today? The needs of the black American has changed drastically. Being more so rooted in self indulgence coupled with insatiable quest for material goods. Art imitating life, these values can be seen being expressed in many different genre of music, television as well as media. The reckless demonstration of maturity and marriage principle displayed by spiritual leaders Juanita Bynum and Bishop Thomas Weeks, filled us with a tarnished and dilapidated images of religious evangelist. The economic savvy of Oprah has been undermined by her demeaning of inner city youth when asked why she does support them. " I become frustrated visiting with inner-city that i just stop going. The sense that you need to learn just isn't there. If you ask the kids what they need or want, they will say an Ipod or some sneakers. In South Africa they don't ask for money of toys. They ask for uniforms so they can go to school" -Wow, tell'em how you really feel Oprah! Epitomizing today's black leadership.

A Story to Tell

In the back row of an upper level African American studies class sits a vocal strong minded junior imputing brilliance into that days discourse. The subject; the practicality & viability of a nonviolent movement and Dr.King's steadfast adherence to this philosophy. The young man argues that King's initial sentiment had changed. The kid was a beast! Citing King's latter transcripts and letters which corroborates his point. While attempting to defuse those arguing the affirmative, he pans left to right and notices the wavering look he's spawned in other the students eye's. This small victory was enough for him and apparently enough for Professor Yuhuru, who subsequently concluded discourse. Amidst the silence that has blanketed the class like morning fog, Pro. Yuhuru tells him "your life is interesting, you should write a book".

-I never thought twice about it because I wasn't even a good writer. (smh)

On the green line halfway done with my daily commute, I build with the GOD Son of Man via text on current political, religious beliefs and the psychological impact on society. One of many emporia used conduce critical thought & insight. Son of Man pause's  "You should start writing a book". Before I can say "naaah" he gives his rebuttal; "it aint gonna be that hard, and people wanna here what you have 2 say". After convincing myself that it wouldn't hurt and might even be therapeutic(the verbiage most writers say), I start jotting down notes into my hand held. Once I had complied enough notes to support a fledgling attempt, my Pre, held to the regard of a convented religious book, will be unloaded scripture by scripture force feeding those who lend their minds to The Emporium.

-It's not a book but I'm meeting those that share this writing request halfway. I b talking crazy sometimes so read at your own discretion
