IS IT IMPORTANT FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS TO VOTE?
As one may ponder over this question without knowing your history is tragic. It is very essential and beneficial for blacks to vote. The vote is one of many tools that can change a people socioeconomic status. By this i mean their status in social situations, business enterprises, state, local and city policies and codes. One vote that does not go into account during the voting process can be probably the one that brings about more continued economic, physical, psychological, environmental, and in some instances spiritual destruction. Many people have sacrificed their lives for the well being of others while some figure a vote wont count because regardless if i do or not things wont change unless the people themselves decide to take control of what they want inside America besides what we as a people have accepted as common grounds for living.
The vote is a matter of life or death because many people are misinformed about laws rules and politicians and how regular people in your town work with these individuals and help bring prosperity or under the table deals that change the way you think eat and live without even knowing. Your job can be affected if new laws are set into place new taxes new transitions many occurrences can take place. Funding for decent housing can go to waste on a major entertainment event nothing wrong with that but, half of that money could have been recycled back into the communities and families that are needy of these resources that spend so much money keeping others beside themselves rich. Loans housing more jails outsourcing of jobs, burnt out worn down communities more violence, more poverty, more famine, more filth, less jobs, budgets for higher education cut all because of a single vote. Corrupt greedy politicians allow drugs, guns, and laws to harbor around our communities that are devastated by these substances. Its all good until it happens to you then once you are in the position of so many people that you see suffering and are needy that is when you find out what can i do about this then what if it all came down to your single vote. Could it have played a part very much so that is why it is important to vote. One vote could have played an integral part in changing society for common good and the realities of African Americans. The masses of people are the producers and only when they realize that one person on television is not controlling all what you deal with and know its a group of people behind keeping you exactly where you are in life from further advancing as a people and taking that power into their hands and electing who they want in office and if that candidate does not fit than your vote should be held until someone accountable for really making changes is appointed by real number ballot measure from actual votes than only should we as a people vote.
African Americans suffer financially, socially, mentally, because we have lost site of our power and have let the realities of our lives play a role in how we think and carry ourselves instead of getting informed and making every decision the wisest decision you ever made. Its very easy to fall into a life that wont contribute to the masses of our people and be another problem why? Who made it that way? How come we can't come up and live decent lives like many cultures do unless you inherited it and how many people are that blessed? Why cant we like to see each other make it? How have we come to a point in time where parents are not sometimes there but once your an adult and know right from wrong don't inform their children the right way? Possibly its because you have not attained proper education of oneself also. How is that so because somewhere down the line somebody told you it was cool to get caught up not believing in a system that has infinite possibilities for all of us. A system that hide what can truly bring about the so called american dream education. Education stems from being informed and if you are not educated on who is in office or what is going on how can you ever really know where you are no matter what your going through. Unless your locked up and lost hope where will you be going if you don't participate and take a stand against and or for those officials who are in office and whether they should be there. Families torn apart, the FDA fixing up scientifically engineered foods synthetic not real contaminating soil which is bad for ones health. Oil companies plummeting away at the earth's core damaging precious resources we need to have a good ecosystem and environment and science companies with so many dirty tricks up their sleeves who knows all what they are really doing and playing a part in all because people are not informed and that comes from education of oneself and education period which with proper laws passed can provide moeny for college or whatever business venture one may emabrk on and then it comes down to the vote. Money for war people not really having a say because militias and street and so many other gangs are backed by government and foreign money. The masses of the people have to unite locally, nationally and by cities and look for whats in the best interest of the people and stop letting people and government officials construct their lives for them those whom will never set one hair off their head inside these hell holes that people live in as well as jails & prisons but will squeeze every last penny from these people and exploit them by there basic necessities as where you live determines your tax bracket how you think eat dress and the air and water whether its clean or polluted all boils down to who is controlling who whether you will have good enough health to last in the long run.
The vote is important why because it changes the world it changes the way people live, the way people begin to think, run business, the way people live in according to their own laws compared to what the state demands in effect compared to what the people once properly informed can vote and resist into affect. Multi corporations can modify your living if you choose not to take your life into your hands and decide where you want to be as an African American. They can decide if you will be the next business advocate or the next micheal jordan or the next commodity that they can make billions of dollars off right under you nose without you even having a clue right in your own communities. Young ones not believing in hard work turning to cutthroat lifestyle pimping selling drugs because of a law forced something to go wrong in your life or one of your family memebers. Gangs robbing and killing each other shattering families of these communities with their wars worldwide which they are a part of could simply be changed. Only if we as African Americans that have money unite and get those who dont have money and empower them with enough knowledge to separate from a system that requires a vote to decide how you live and run your business. Small business can become big business with proper knowledge and dissembling from multi corps that take what you believe in and shatter that for profit. Since the voting process can change the way a people lives then why not invest proper time into knowing who will be running and setting laws for you. The Florida incident is a prime example of what can happen when the wrong people get into office (or steal their chair and hurt american people) that are their for show but taking orders from regular people like you and me. Look at how our county has changed in five years since we had a new stolen not elected official in head of our states but heading our world to total destruction. Money that could be equally distributed around the world for all economies is now scarce and used for preparation of defending our country because we let this man into office now we all up in the cross fire and headed for world war 3. No we didn't he stole his way into office but that could have been prevented based off proper education of government officials and a single vote well not in that election but this up coming election if we haven't learned that voting plays an integral part in the way us as African Americans get benefits in this country then why not vote. Laws that jail the providers of families could easily be reconstructed to help a person better serve their family and community which will benefit society. Laws that keep people criminal minded could be changed to make a person more productive to society as a whole with proper services rendered to help needy individuals African Americans and indigenous brothers and sisters world wide. Laws that exist in urban cities could be easily applied to rural and geto or underprivileged areas where to many of us all come from in order to keep money flowing in and out our communities for good cause rebuilding libraries, banks, and community information centers and moving towards equality which cant produce jealousy or the theft of life or material possessions within in a culture leading to moral respect and betterment of a culture. In the same token if the same incident happens over and over again then we need to examine our role in this country look how we have been continually done turned against each other and move from that notion of whether we should dismantle the system and or recreate our own aside from the american value system and truly take what we helped died for and build back for common equal good between us as a people the vote does count how will you make it though. What will you do come voting day?
