The opinion of this observer is, race matters in the American society and discrimination and racism is alive. Contrary to main stream dictates such as the entertainment industry, the media, political/politicians, and academia proclaiming otherwise, these public avenues have in fact determined the American citizen’s social status in America. This belief that somehow now in America's history that racism evaporated from the fabric of the society is a hoax. More important, it is a covenanted or aggregated plot to continue the systematic practices of discrimination in America. In other words, a covert ploy to perpetually confine and use the children of American X slaves as social degenerates to support the past and present structure of the American economical foundation and economy.
For instance, the various studies and reports conducted about the social condition and circumstances facing Black people living in Milwaukee, WI, compared to Whites and Hispanics living in the city between 1991 and 2012. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Center for Economic Development has published more than 43 such reports and studies over the past two decades. The most recent released, January, 2012 “Race and Male Employment in the Wake of the Great Recession: Black Male Employment Rates in Milwaukee and the Nation’s Largest Metro Areas , by Marc V. Levine.
Mr. Levine report points to discrimination “Disparity” is the new politically correct word or substitute term used when studying the social environmental effects of racism and discrimination against Black Americans living in America “ (Muhammad) in employment against Black males, 16-64 working ages living in Milwaukee. It is a comparative study using employment census data over the past 40 years that bears witness to a “meltdown,” (see report) in employment opportunities for Black males. According to Levine, the report further finds that the incarceration rate for Black males is increasing and has increased by an alarming rate when compared to Whites and Hispanics in Milwaukee during the last decade... Levine states, “An average 5,000 working age black males have been incarcerated annually in Milwaukee since the early 2000s, a growing number for non-violent drug offenses. These are 5,000 men annually, not employed, but not counted in official unemployment statistics, as they are not in the active labor force. A fact rich in symbolism and a telling indicator of the social and economic crisis facing Milwaukee: more Milwaukee African American males were admitted to Wisconsin correctional facilities in an average year in the 2000s than were employed at the end of the decade as production workers in factories in the city of Milwaukee (Levine, P. 8).”
Ruth Zubrensky published a report in July, 1999 entitled, “A REPORT ON PAST DISCRIMINATION AGAINST AFRICAN-AMERICANS IN MILWAUKEE, 1835-1999” The report unveils a pattern of discrimination active even now in January 2012. “History has handed down the name of the first Black man to arrive in Milwaukee in 1835. His name was Joe Oliver, and although he was a popular figure, he was nicknamed “@!$%# Joe” already a demeaning and humiliating epithet. He worked for two years as a cook for Solomon Juneau, Milwaukee’s first mayor, when Milwaukee was only a small trading post... (Zubrensky, 1999)
Zubrensky's book is a hard find on the internet, but worth the effort to view realistic and documented proof of a 176 year old covenant that was established to subjugate Milwaukee’s Black community. (To locate locally check the Milwaukee Public Library System).
It is an undeniable fact when studying social variables and their negative affect on the Black race or group within the American society, that the true implications of the so-called “Disparity Reports and Studies,” (presented to the world’s eye through the vantage point of this observer and member of The Descendants of X Slaves” and “Native Tribal” people in America) are aggregated proof that the City of Milwaukee is a social microcosm in the environmental social fabric of American racism
In other words, America’s great experiment has failed. Overall, it has practically destroyed the Black community in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to the degree that Milwaukee's Black community is perceived as an uncivilized group of people by the rest of humanity on the planet. And in doing so, America's standing as the most powerful nation on the planet has forgotten her past, crippled the present, and gives no hope to the future standing as a civilized society in the eyes of God and Humanity.
