Dr. Umar Johnson Speaks Truth to Power

[Emperah]

In this he talks about relationships, fixing yourself before you get into one.

Give urself time to fast and get the last relationship out of your system this part starts aroun 15:30
Talking bout trying to buy happiness, shopping, not wanting to go home, always wanting to be out or around ppl.

At the beginning him talk bout the illusion of progress
"when I go to jamaica they tend not to suffer from an illusion of progress, same thing for Africa"
But in America..

At around the 8 min. mark Mr. Johnson mentions how school systems are making juvenile delinquents out of black children. Here's the news story that reports that very fact.

<span style="font-size: 14pt"><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">Feds: Authorities in Meridian, Miss. Violated Rights of Black Children</span></span>

The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division has released investigative findings determining that children in predominantly black Meridian, Miss. have had their constitutional rights violated by the Lauderdale County Youth Court, the Meridian Police Department, and the Mississippi Division of Youth Services in what civil rights investigators allege is <span style="font-weight: bold">a school to prison pipeline with even dress code violations resulting in incarceration</span>.

The Justice Department has been investigating the agencies since December 2011 and found that the police department arrests children without probable cause, violating the children’s Fourth Amendment protections of unlawful search and seizure.

Also in the findings letter the Civil Rights Division alleges that “Lauderdale County and the Youth Court Judges violate the Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments by failing to provide children procedural due process in the youth court. Lauderdale County, the Youth Court judges, and the Mississippi Division of Youth Services violate the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments by failing to provide children procedural due process rights in the probationary process.”

His statements about economic progress (lack thereof) closely echo those of Dr. Claud Anderson. I highly recommend checking out Dr. Anderson on youtube - good stuff.
