“In this video clip are brief examples of two mentalities, integrationist and nationalist. In the points raised for both, one has caused a sense of apathy among our people and stunted our growth, the other the door is still open and it’s not too late. Your opinion is welcome.”

Rep. Rush: ‘I sincerely apologize’ for my vote for 1994 Violent Crime Bill
When then-President Clinton signed the violent crime bill in September 1994, the bill was originally written by then Senator Joe Biden, supported by Hillary Clinton, voted for by Bernie Saunders and the misleadership of the Congressional Black Caucus of the 103rd Congress. The former president said in July 2015 that the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act he signed in 1994 put too many people in prison for too long. Telling a NAACP Convention audience in Philadelphia in July 2015, Clinton said he wanted to ‘admit’ his role in imprisoning so many Black Americans, Clinton said: ‘I signed a bill that made the problem worse – and I want to admit it.’ It didn’t sound like in his exchange with Black Lives Matter protesters in Philadelphia on 4/7/2016 that he was sorry for anything. Bobby Rush apologizes in this video, other Black Caucus members who were party to it need to do the same, and fight to their last breath to correct this atrocity against the Black family.

GUEST:
Porschia Percell: Porschia Percell founder and creator of Cultures of Can’douR . A South Carolina native, Porschia has always had a deep appreciation and love for not only fashion, but all things creative. At an early age, she was introduced to fashion by her mother who studied Fashion Merchandising in college. “I can remember as a kid plundering through my mom’s closet trying on all her vintage shoes and clothing.” Her love for fashion grew deeper at the age of 12 when she picked up her first sketch pencil and began designing. “I remember that day like it was yesterday.” “Cultures of Can’douR is much bigger than me and my ability to create. It’s about creating a culture of individuals who openly express themselves and feel confident about it. It’s about getting people to see that different is DOPE and COURAGEOUS. I think loving yourself is the best form of bravery that one could ever have. Through fashion, visual film, and other creative outlets, I’m going to change the way individuals see themselves and I won’t stop until it’s finished.” That’s where Cultures of Can’douR was born.

Kaliek considers himself to be a simple man, but five years in the making, Kaliek’s vision has transformed Childhoodslost into something extraordinary. Childhoodslost affords youth the opportunities, to deal with issues affecting their childhoods in creative ways that strengthen their will to live in their purpose.

WE NEED YOU ALL TO BE APART OF THE CONVERSATION!!
IF Black people pay taxes that pay for public accommodations like public bathrooms, then Black people have a right to use anything that they are paying for or exempt them from taxes. People call that “integrationism” but I don’t see it that way. I see it as I should not have to piss outside in some bushes when there is public bathroom.
There should be no place in America that is off limits to the people paying taxes, fighting and dying in their wars.
We should also note that the NOI has integrated its organization with a collaboration with those Scientologist.
No one told black people to stop going to black businesses just because Jim Crow was deemed illegal. However, I find it illogical to want Jim Crow to exist because it forced black people to stay in their own communities and work together.
We should also not pretend like there was a Black business offering in every industry even back then. Many places, there may not be a Black owned gas station for you to get gas from and if I need gas to get where I am going then I should be able to get it from any gas station serving the public.
It is about having the freedom of choice. It is the individual who must express their free will in a way that benefits their community.
