Good Afternoon,
What has really changed over the last 20 years from Fuzzy Zeller's Racist towards Tiger Woods. Sergio Garcia (pro-golfer) said he wasn't even aware of the "fried chicken" comment made years earler by Fuzzy Zeller, but somehow has the same thought process of what is "customary food" fit for a African American. Can the remark be anything but racist? And does that same thought process reside within many other cultures towards African Americans. From an East Indian Perspective, it does for the most part and this "fried chicken" comment is only the tip of a huge iceburg!!!!
In light of the Sergio Garcia remarks about inviting Tiger Woods to dinner and serving Fried Chicken, I am sharing a very sad but real video of how imaging from a subliminal to visual perspective starts at a very young age. From a larger perspective, how does this imaging manifests even in a most professional arenas and in mature adults. Do we ignore this or just live in denial?
Just imagine how many attacks our black kids suffer (throughout their day) on their self image simply because they are Black. Then our kids are expected to perform equal to with subpar environmental, educational opportunities, dietary and financial support or reinforcement. Even at a basic level of building a Futuristic Middle School here in Brookland -- we build an "art" school for our under-performing kids, we refuse to even understand how important it is to properly provide a Football/Soccer Field for our children to recreate; Sub-Par to say the least!!
After viewing the video, no one should ever argue subsidizing our children in any way.
