I think Obama becase he is about change.. and he is not some rich person who is not aware of what is life challenges. and he is not out to make contempt with the middle east but to talk with people from all places.
we can no longer be a nation that stomps about trying to force the world regions to change faster than they can change.
I personally think if the US had really taken time to understand what Saddam was dealigh with of the factions that were continually trying to overthow him they may understand his strong arm brutality tactics more.. I'm not saying it was right.. I'm saying if we look at the situation now.. that should give us some indication of what kind of factions that Saddam was fighting on a daily bais.. but in ways he was slowly trying to develop Iraq.. the same as the Shah of Iraq qas doing back before Kohemeni .. and many others... I think the US did not work with him beyond using him.. becase when they were working with him he was working with them.. and the US and the rest of the world gave a blind eye to the gassing of the Kurds.. but now they see that was near the region of the Taliban and the other factions that have been breeding in that region for many years... the US did not stop to think about that stuff.. they were looking at the Oil.. and thinking after they rescued Kuwait that the Arabs would just let them take over Iraq.. and manage it's oil.. but they never thought the Arabs would use the US to remove Saddam becase he would not go for their policies of trying to dominate the world with their radical motives. If people payed attention to the dignity of Saddam during that trial they may have learned something about the man..
but I think Obama is someone that has seen enough diversity in the cultures of life to know that we all have many struggles and it takes a lot for all of us to work together.. and he understand the needs of this nation to heal itself and rebuild itself and not turn it's back on the world in the process. He has never backed off his disdain for the some of the stuff the GBush has done..and he was not a supporter of it when it started. WE are so far behind in Arab relationshs since the removal of Saddam that they just don't want to admit it.. but if the US had understood the radical factions of the region they would have known better how to work with Saddam.. and reel in his cronies and sons and put them on a track that had some other progressive factions.. but the world has to remember for nearly 10 years they did not let the man sell his oil to prosper his country.. and tied his hands in many ways... which made him have to fight with his people in ways that maybe he would not have had to fight if he had the resources to address their concerns.
but some of the other canidate have very good points.. I think.. the economic administration of the nation would do good with Romney working within an Obama administration with, Huckabee working on federal tax reforms, Hillary working on social program, health care and schools and Edwards as Attorney General.. McCaine working on Military reform..and vetrans rights and international military coordinations.
Richardson working on south american relations and the American Hemisphere unity and Guiliana working with the nation of governors for State unity and reforms in our interstate reforms that are sorely needed.
now if that came out as a Cabinet line up for Obama.. that would be great.. maybe as a headline ticket of Obama/Huckabee and etc.. that would be a ticket that would meld the parties and make things prosper with bi partisan unity.
--------- are you willing to help with this conceptual development --------
Id like to develop a team for consulting and document's preparation.. and develop a network to help make this functional.. and then have a means for the small business to come and uplift their business, build a structure that is viable and competetive. and all the talent that is necessary is right her in this city. if anyone is interested.. I can set up an e-mail on this site at the bottom of my posting that we can coordinate and develop something to start a great dialog on what can be done.. if people are interested. or we can create a post on this site.. and talk about it.. or I can set up a blog.. on blogger... that this can be a forum for such.. but they have many program that I'm sure are already in place....
if someone that reads this has a construction or work in the investment sector would be a good start...
but "be organization minded, and team spirit driven, not control minded.. and then good collaboration can be engaged".
there are many people in this city.. which would work with it. and these business then can set up a co op fund that contributes to youth programs.. and this will be a city help program that can then garner city support in so many ways that we can change this city for both blacks and whites and be a one people city.. that is not despised by some but embraced by many.
truth is... nothing changes till we as people make the changes. or we can just gripe about stuff and go on spending our money in ways that does not promote the city and attract the resources to the city that makes us a prospering city.
multi ethnic... is the only way.. .. I'm not interested in any all black or all white anything..
but more in a people unity organization that can actually be productive.
we have people who will hold other back and harrass them with silliness of saying they are trying to be white.. because they focus on being conservative and not flamboyant and or various flairs of sorts. but those are many time the people who prosper.. because they realize that the world does have order and it does have a standardized format.. and it's not just in america but world wide...
look around.. when we see Asian that come to this country.. they are not in sports attire every place they go and big giant sized logo's on everything they wear, they are conservatively dressed generally or somewhat general format stylish.. and they excel, they integrate without much of the stereotype being imposed upon them.. but we have blacks that go into places with flaming red and orange hair, and leopard print stuff and high fashion stuff in office that does not necessarily command such attire.. and what we see as a result there is limits to their ability to excel.. some may not like that comment.. but .. it matters... it matters more than many care to consider..
in foreign locations.. people aspire to a more traditional and conservation business image presentation format as well.. and they build their business enviornment to meet this standard of appeal and presentation.
We have ministers who buy the suits that have the elongnated suit jackets that resemble the 1930's zoot suit... and the baggy pants suits.. and the 1 inch apart pin stripes and various types of flamboyance.. and they are not taken serious when they enter various business environments.. but some never look at this and see it as a deterrent..
some people in some situations, wear gaudy designer custom made watches that look more like entertainment blingthan professional accessories to their attire, and some even think that the jogging and sports attire is suitable for various level of business meetings..and some even wear casual wear of some sort to semi high level business meetings, or meeting that are dealing with factors where a more formal presentations will be more suitable for the nature of what's being discussed. where others may come in with sleek movado and other style type of watches and attire.. it's important to pay attention to these things.
.. and beyond their concept it's does impact how serious they are taken and it does have an impact on what type of big ticket contracts they are allowed to participate in.. because they give off the peacocked effect.. and people ""don't "" trust their money to such... except in the entertainment media of on-screen stuff but the behind the screen stuff where the real money is made.. they don't get to become an intergral part of that.
We have now every place we go people with a mouth full of gold teeth, it may work in the confines of the black community as style and fashion.. but you are not going to see anyone at a board room table or in a position of power and prestige that will allow this to be in their midst when they discuss policy and big ticket progressive models of anything.
People did the gold teeth thing in the late 1940's and early 50's and by the time the early 70's came around these people were loosing their teeth because of decay.. that developed behind the gold casing.. Gold in people mouth, who have power and prestige and big business connections is mainly used as molar crown material which is generally to the "back of their mouth" and not visible in a casual smile..
There is down town a store on Texas street that sells mens clothing.. it's nearly empty of flow thru customers, and it's customer base is more black than generic well mixed of ethnicities.... because of the styling of it's offered clothing. it will probably not survive another year... not next to the entertainment plex they are building.. it just does not fit. there are other places that have lackluster sales because it either features hip hop clothing or 1930's zoot suit and some even have the $10 fake patent leather lizzard and gator which cracks right across the bridge of the toe...if worn more than a few times... and have the rubber soles that leave black marks on tile floors from cheap rubber.. this stuff will eventually fade away or be relegated to the areas that cater to it..
and then there are people.. who buy suits right off the rack and never have it tailored even for the pants length... and thus it becomes more of a deterrent to wear an ill tailored suit as it is not to even wear a suit to a event that requires a suit. so these things have to be considered... as well even managing the color and patterns that we choose for certain settings..
We have a long way to go in what will bond us in the economics of America, to prospers as a people and a community. so many things we have to think and rethink and look beyond.. just our right to wear and do as we please.. is fine .. but at what cost ?// and it may well be important to know what that cost is to you to be against conforming to some standard? if and when people factor that they may not be so quick to talk about what is their right, as much as they think about what functions for their progress.. but how to manage that to taper and tailor it to meet with what will be the most productive for us in the over-all... and that's a bitter pill that many care not to swallow.. Kids now want to go to interview wearing the same stuff they put on to hang out, and pants sagging , and their so called stylish hip hop costume.. and then when they are relegated to the lowest job available even if they get the job.. then they can't factor in why??? and they cry discrimination on color.. when it's really the image the project that detracts from what they may be capable of doing, or what they could be considered for.. so if it's more important to you to wer your sports stuff and sag your pants and look like some rapper and hip hop imagery.. then you pay the cost for it over and over and if you are happy with that.. then pay and shut up about what you loose out on as to what opportunity could provide you if you payed attention to the tradition that is part of the business community of what is America and the business of the society.
and if you continue to go to court wearing this grab then you will get treated with the image justice has of the image you bring into the courtrooms.. and you will get time dispensed to you accordingly... and you will have various stuff made inadmissible in the court proceeding.. because your image negate it more than you think and it can influence how the law is selected in the frame of interpretations.. you may not like it but that's how it is. the laws are for and of and handled by a lot of how it's interperted.. and you have a part to play in that as it applies to you... it can be your friend or it can be your worst nightmare.
this regions has many blacks that are wealthy in the sense of land ownership.. and various other things.. but they become poor when they don't gain the greatest benefit of it.. yet they may not be dollar poor.. they are business unity poor in what they loose out on based on opportunity profits that could be gained.. they don't connect into the machine of economics... of what is the american model.. and as a result they miss out on the big ticket projects.. and some that try and keep it as a all black enterprise in things they do.. loose out by not integrating... yet will turn and complain that white don't integrate theirs.. but the fact is whites do integrate theirs which is how and why they get business from both blacks and whites... We have to think in broader terms and when it's done in and thru the manner of business and the legality of business. then we don't have to be afraid that some white person will rip us off because they will be as tied into the process and any default or failure will equally affect them and they are not driven to struggle for the sake of loss or failure.. be it their or something they are a part of..
We have much to put many thoughts into.. and we can build..
We have small law firms that are black which would prosper ten fold if they partner with other ethnicities ... as well as construction companies and other things.. which are highly qualified and do excellent work.. but their all black status and drive to remain all black become their acts of segregation which cost them by making them segergated by their own doing.. something that people may not know.. but white enjoy working with blacks.. and blacks enjoy working with whites when each do so by the legalities of the states and nations systems.. not by buddies handshakes but by handshakes that are backed by the legality of contractual agreements.
We have to not be reverse racist... in our ways, nor in our thoughts.. and that is something that exit that we have to face the fact it exist before we can overcome it... and that includes many thing.. on many levels and many factions of what is life.
