The discussions
took place between Generation Z podcaster Shadrach Williams, his
fellow millennia member, psychology major Shadaen Stevens and me the baby
boomer author.
We are all people of color.
We are all people of color.
Williams,
a recent graduate of Florida International University (FIU) and author of the
self-help book “A month to re-create reality,” (available at Amazon.com)
expresses his political views via the podcasts entitled “Politics across
generations” which are aired at; https://anchor.fm/politicsacrossgenerations.
These podcasts which cover a series of issues, provides Political education
from the perspective of the Baby Boomers and the Millennial
generation coming together to understand each other’s view points and discuss
the candidates, as well as their ideas, for the upcoming 2020 elections.
According
to Buttigieg, his Douglas Plan seeks to tackle systemic racism
which has kept Afro-Americans, down for decades. The Plan is named
after Frederick
Douglas, an escaped slave who became a prominent
activist, author, leader in the abolitionist movement. He fought to end the
practice of slavery, before and during the Civil War.
This is the only plan with concrete solutions being put forward by any of the politicians seeking the Democratic
party’s nomination, to redress to the inequities suffered by descendants of the
slaves, for the economic apartheid which has kept black people in
poverty for centuries.
Some aspects are: a pledge by ‘President’ Buttigieg
to award 25% of federal contracting to small business owners from underserved
communities; the Walker-Lewis Initiative to triple the number of entrepreneurs
from underrepresented backgrounds within a decade, and creating 3 million new
jobs in minority communities.
However, the
Generation Z discussants regarded the proposal as a cheap attempt
to try and bring in black minority support for his campaign. They further opined
that even if Buttigieg is genuine with this proposal, there is no way that the
white establishment which controls the power in the USA, would allow such a
program to succeed.
They
backed up their arguments by citing actions by the white senators and
congressmen, who frustrated every effort for justice, made by President
Barak Obama, the USA’s first afro American President.
This view
was further reinforced by evidence presented in my latest book entitled ‘2020 DECISION; SOCIALISM, RACISM OR HAPPINESS?, which is available at: https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B001KJ40KG. For I went to great pains in this publication, to back up my claim (from an outsider’s perspective), that the Republican
Party is fully racist.
