Posted By: William Jackson on August 26, 2016 Donald Trump to Black People – You're Poor and Uneducated by William Jackson, M.Ed. Father, Blogger, Educator, Community Activist Shoutout to my friends at: BG Bookclub @bg_bookclub Black Girls Book Club bgbcuk@gmail.com United Kingdom Support literacy globally Prove Donald Trump wrong Over 200 Books for and about People of Color and Culture Video created by William Jackson #MyQuestToTeach https://youtu.be/Uo6UDfrJgqk The words of Donald Trump cut deep, psychological blood was shed with comments that defied reason and respect to people of color and culture. If Donald Trump wanted to get votes from people of color and culture he sure did it the wrong way. In his mind how would he think that he would be received when he made comments about the schools children of color and culture attend, how did he think people of color and culture would receive his comments about being poor and who advised him that this platform would gain him respect and get more votes? If that is want he wanted? This shows that Donald Trump is so disconnected and out of touch he has no clue or he is a brilliant creator of propaganda. The mentality of his is potentially that people of color and culture have no cognitive development. They are still someone’s property like slavery. The audacity of him to think to ask about the options that people of color and culture have pertaining to their political, economic and educational stability and strength. But wait…………………… Are these not the same issues people of color and culture continue to fight with, are these the same issues we protest about, are these the same issues that we brought attention to Presidents for decades? What is the difference today in this electoral process? The truth in some capacity is that people of color and culture are still struggling with the educational process of this country, people of color and culture are still fighting for political significance and people of color and culture are still demanding economic parity even if they do not have the same foundation of economic stability and generational economic application for the next generation. Maybe the words of Donald Trump hurt because in too many cases people of color and culture are suffering from the exact issues that Trump is throwing because those we elected in the past have not made what people perceive are significant changes. He hit a psychological and emotional nerve, but was he right? If people of color and culture want better schools attend PTA meetings, if people of color and culture want better schools they need to check to make sure their children are prepared for school with the right materials and attitude. If people of color and culture want their children to gain success then parents need to visit the schools, volunteer, go on field trips, check classroom workbooks to make sure homework and other work is done. Talk with teachers, not at them and accept their professionalism to help children of color and culture be successful. Sometimes when someone throws salt on a wound, the hurt signifies there are situations of reality and brokenness that are being either ignored or denied in the mind. How many others feel this way that are white, Asian and even African American?” How many others have the impression that people of color and culture are suffering, but enjoy their suffering to the point where they are comfortable in it? Change only comes when a person is sick and tire of being sick and tired. Change comes only when a mother or father is tired of struggling and goes back to school, change only comes when parents are proactive with their children’s learning and take them to the library during the week or the weekends to read and study. Change comes in when parents decide it is time to expose their children to diversity and go to the museums around their cities and get involved in their communities. Donald Trump stirred up a hornet’s nest by criticism, but he had to get his information from someplace that possesses some truth. Why are people of color and culture not attending school board meetings, why are they not attending parent teacher meetings, why are they not taking their children to the libraries to encourage reading, writing and arithmetic and receiving free tutoring for struggling children? Why is the only option for children of color that are struggling in school Special Education programs and medicine? School Open House invitations are coming out, many parents will tell their children they are not going because they do not want to. How many parents will tell their children if they act up in school they will beat the crap out of them instead of being part of the educational support system and being proactive? How many parents will look at teachers as a threat instead of a support system to help their children achieve more than they currently have? Poverty in many communities have the faces of people of color and culture, but the effort to get out of poverty seems to be lacking in too many cases. Refugees come to this country of opportunity to make a difference. Refugees take advantage of the libraries, the resources, the networking, and the engagement of community events and even cultural events that bring people together to lift each other up with networking and sharing. The process is not complex, it requires planning, it requires determination, it requires discipline and it requires a willingness to sacrifice time, energy and even putting people out of your life that are holding you back. Change your mentality and your vision. Maybe Donald Trump did people of color and culture a favor by making those comments. Maybe it is time for people of color and culture to change their mentalities and their goals in life. To create their own businesses, to improve their community schools, to create generational wealth. The word “Challenge” use to mean something, it had fire, it was a call to make a change. How many people of color and culture will accept this “Challenge” of Donald Trump too improve themselves? Parents, encourage your children to read, read, read, read, study, study, study, comprehend, comprehend and improve themselves. What kind of legacy will you leave with your children? Here is an extensive list of books about people of color and culture and by people of color and culture. Share with your children, I challenge parents and their children to read as many as possible and prove Donald Trump wrong!!!! What have you got to loose????
