A Crisis In America; How Did We Get Here?

By JV Howard

African-Americans live, to a certain degree, in a constant crisis management mode 

and have been for some time. Crisis defined; a condition of instability or danger, as in social, economic, political, or international affairs, leading to a decisive change...

It produces a dramatic emotional or circumstantial upheaval in personal life. But how did we get here?

In answering the question how did we get here - in a crisis mode - take a look at 

present day realities that point to social, economic, health, and political quandaries 

that have severely watered down the promise of this countries democratic process. 

The promise of inclusion has morphed into a promise of preference and privilege; the 

preference to ignore the basic human rights and dignity of all it's citizens and the privilege of immunity and exemption.

A quick inventory of current events highlight headlines that reads ‘Worst Week in 

America’ as a major social crisis with guns and mass killings continue unabated, a economic crisis governed by late night tweets, a self inflicted opioid health crisis, and a political crisis where leadership is more bot than human. A bot is a device or piece of software that can execute commands, reply to tweets, or perform routine tasks like order from McDonalds.
