My Brothers Keeper, the initiative introduced by President Barack Obama earlier this year, was a major focus of what was a full schedule of activities and events during the 2014 Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Annual Legislative Conference weekend in the nations capital. This year marked the 44th year of the event.
Too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement, guilty of walking while Black, or driving while Black, judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness. We know that, statistically, in everything from enforcing drug policy to applying the death penalty to pulling people over, there are significant racial disparities, said President Obama at the CBC Awards Dinner Sept. 27.
Thats just the statistics. One recent poll showed that the majority of Americans think the criminal justice system doesnt treat people of all races equally. Think about that. Thats not just Blacks, not just Latinos or Asians or Native Americans saying things may not be unfair. Thats most Americans, said the president.
Rolled out in February, My Brothers Keeper was touted by the Obama administration as a new initiative to help every boy and young man of color who is willing to do the hard work to get ahead. A task force was set up to partner public and private sector organizations to work together in identifying what existing programs are successful in effectively working with young men of color, expanding their work and determining how the federal government could better support their efforts....

Very little pops up about the NOI having an active role in Islamic terrorism. Political correctness?
What is NOI?
Thanks.
Did God say that Cain was his brother’s keeper? No, He did not.
God understood the deception of Cain’s question.
Farrakhan actually defended Khaddafi against the US government’s support of the Muslim Brotherhood coup.
I just can't figure out if overall whites are stupid are just passive?
Valerie Jarrett is an Iranian-Reptilian Hybrid.
(Sniffle) Obama"s "Heart of Gold" on-display...(sob). He'll do anything to change the national conversation about contamination and contagion.

"My Brother's Keeper" is a scam that originated in Chicagoland----and it reared its ugly head in Washington.
WASH/POST---Community lenders network commits to lend $1 billion in support of Obama's My Brothers Keeper / By Zachary A. Goldfarb, March 6, 2014
A network of (ahem) community lenders is committing to lending (?) $1 billion in support of President Obamas My Brothers Keeper initiative that aims to boost the life chances of young African and Hispanic men.
ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHICAGOLAND Rev Jeremiah's Wright's beloved daughter was convicted for looting a $1.25 million state grant which financed a tax-exempt, not-for-profit work and education program called "We Are Our Brother's Keeper," owned by Regina Evans, former police chief of Country Club Hills, and her husband, Ronald Evans Jr.
<><> 6/8/13 Police Chief Regina Evans (above) pleaded guilty to fraud and money laundering charges related to the misuse of a $1.25 million state grant to the non-profit organization she ran with her husband, Ronald Evans Jr.

BACKUP---October 11, 2011 ---- Police Chief Regina Evans Resigns
COUNTRY CLUB HILLS, Ill. (CBSLOCAL.COM) Country Club Hills Mayor said that negotiations were underway to clear the way for the resignation of police Chief Regina Evans, in office for about two years,
<><> Regina Evans was on (ahem) disability leave since August 2011,
<><> it was earlier reported that Illinois AG's office is suing Regina Evans' n/p over its handling of state job training grant worth more than $500,000.
<><> Evans also signed off on invoices for a controversial summer camp where the campers including children of aldermen who voted for it got paid to attend (Chicago-way--"redistribution of income").
<><> Most recently, Evans came under fire for overseeing a 2011 part-time police program where 10 part-time police officers were hired.... bur that many had questionable backgrounds, and werent qualified to do police work. They were ordered to turn in their guns and badges (got high-paid city sanitation jobs).

Yawn.....just goes to show: the sap-happy Dem/Lib are willing to suck-up to anything----saying they're "for" their fellow-man---and conniving to make a buck on it.
================================================
I see Valerie Jarrett attended "My Brother's Keeper" event....so did anybody notice if Valerie had her portable wire transfer kit with her? B/c a day without wire-transferring offshore makes Obama and Michelle nervous.
So what's the problem then?
Bonnie and Clyde were on the run too...
it was awful
judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness.
There is an easy answer for that. DO NOT play into the stereo types. If people are wearing mask and robbing banks in my city I am ot going to start walking around going into businesses wearing a mask. If I am stupid enough to do so then it is my own fault when I get my butt kicked and get arrested.
This is hard for some people to understand......
