"Impactful"? is that Newspeak? Or Ebonics?
The "new generation" can be summed up by the following graphic:
Chicago Teachers Strategize on How to Indoctrinate Kids with Marxism ".......In September, the Chicago Teachers Union went on strike, shutting down the Windy City’s schools for 10 days. Many of those same teachers were in attendance on Nov. 10 at the Midwest Marxism Conference held at Northwestern University in Chicago............"
Trumka, Weingarten and Ayres: AFL-CIO/AFT [American Federation of Teachers] "At the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) - America yesterday the AFL-CIO announced a $10 billion commitment to invest in America's infrastructure. This commitment puts labor’s money where their mouth is.
This initiative will help create mechanisms to finance infrastructure projects. Over the next 5 years at least $10 billion will be raised to invest in infrastructure projects– beginning with investment specifically geared toward retrofitting large commercial buildings to be energy efficient. The money will be recruited from pension funds, state and federal governments, beginning with union pension funds..."
Midwest Marxism conference, and it wasn’t about how to fight it either... oy vey what has my (graduate school) alma mater come to?!?
Jackson’s demise means virtually all of the highest-ranking black politicians are senior citizens. The 48-year-old Jackson was one of three black congressmen in the Illinois delegation, but by far the youngest: Danny Davis is 71 and Bobby Rush is 66.
The most powerful African-American in local government, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, is 65, while Secretary of State Jesse White — the only black state-wide office holder — is 78.
The younger Jackson’s resignation, combined with the aging of many other African-American elected officials, is hastening the search for fresh faces who might restore or even enhance the community’s clout. Younger African-American leaders in lower-level positions said they believe a new generation is ready to come of age.
This is actually some hopeful news. I have a lot of empathy for the older generation of black Americans. They grew up in and had to deal with a lot of crap from whites, and I don't begrudge them seeing things even today based upon their experiences with racism during their formative years.
But to be honest, this is a different world today, and the black community needs to start recognizing this openly. But it won't do that until the older generation leaves the stage. Jesse Jackson Sr. began as a man with noble intentions who did good work fighting real racism when it was necessary. But over the years America changed and he has become the Las Vegas Elvis version of a civil rights activist, consigned to replaying his old hits and never singing anything new while the world has passed him by. Even today he will compare minor events to Selma, Alabama, which only trivializes Selma, Alabama and denies his whole life's work had any effect at all. There is nothing going on today that remotely compares to the systemic racism encountered in earlier generations.
And the hidden good news is that they are looking so hard for the new generation to carry on from the older generation. There is a reason it isn't there, it isn't necessary. Martin Luther King was necessary in his time, but there is no need for another one today. There will still be black politicians, but they just need to be politicians and leaders.
For all their faults and problems, the republican party basically understands this, and is standing behind good black people by the content of their character.
Thank you for your service, elderly generation of black Americans. You can legitimately feel you changed America, mostly for the better. But please, just go.
You’ll see a new generation of black politicians with new, innovative thought processes.
Yep! And we all knnw what that means.
That's total nonsense right there.Any new faces will br just as socialist as the old ones, they know nothing else in the Chicago machine.

The "new generation" can be summed up by the following graphic:
Does it really matter who they run? Black voters routinely re-elect criminals, druggies and lunatics.
“The new generation is more interested in HOSTILE TAKE OVERS of banking, finance, utilities”
There, fixed it.
They don’t need fresh faces in Chicago. They need Jesse, Sr., who says “Up with Hope, Down with Dope.” Maybe they don’t like the “Down with Dope” part any more though.
Whayever happend to "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." ???????
Oh, it was just bull$#!^ like "Hope and Change"....
REAL smart, America!
You mean people like... Allan West? Herman Cain? Mia Love? 'Cause if that's the new standard then I sure hope the new generation shows up quickly and en masse before they are picked off and destroyed by the Corruptocrats.
