The following article was written by an innocent; to the point that just a few hours ago; still trying to do a plea bargain to the point of subtracting the quality of my life to include No social life connected to the opposite sex; first it was be gay; not it is be old and you can flow in the white man's society; please forgive me; but that is the bottom line; everything is owned and controlled by the white man to the point that they are operating a system that is the equivalent of slavery. The United States Constitution in the Thirteenth Amendment (1865): Abolishes slavery and authorizes Congress to enforce abolition (something is wrong).
To the point that African American communities are not allowed to grow as African American communities; they are recycled; one group gets a turn; when whoever doesn't like the plan or has can cause the most upset to the Caucasian community; then they are the person who decides the fate of the next group; but never is a group to continue to progress sort of like what they do to the Indians; that is why they pay a member of the race to do out other members of their own race; when everything starts to be revealed and somebody has to take a fall for it; it is somebody in their own race; not the race(Caucasian males) that is paying/intimidating them to abuse their own(African American) race.

Reason why no employment/job for myself because I couldn't get with the program and they don't let nobody play that don't get with the program.

For example; The Wal-Mart Case that has recently been in the news is a payoff for hispanics helping another race=? to dog out African Americans.
The case takes place on the West Coast-where there are more hispanics than African Americans; interesting that the case is Wal-Mart vs Dukes[have written about the fact that the guy who wanted to date me is a big Duke fan=?] and it is interesting that everybody at the EEOC who signed all my letters where hispanic; I wondered why they(EEOC-hispanic investigated and signed right to sue letter-in two days=no investigation) did not offer mediation. the reason is because they mess with African American jobs on the East coast; hire hispanics to block African American cases/code=if signed by hispanic=case being used to get hispanics paid for helping another race=? to rob from African Americans.

Why can I not just live like white folks; without bondage=TiredDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!

Following is a copy of the letter that will be sending to the EEOC [have sent almost five or more letters with no response=?

The letter is/will be as follows:


To:UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
1 FIRST STREET,
N. E. WASHINGTON, D.C. 20543

Notice of Motion/Extended Time

Socialpeacest
00-0000
Plaintiff


vs.


---'s -l--


Defendant INTERVENTION ON
DEFENDANT’S SIDE



Fact that concern that Wal-mart Case #00000---'s -l-- vs Dukes-may be form of robbery of other WAl-Mart cases, specifically 00-0000 because largest percentage of the plaintiff’s in Wal-Mart case #00000 maybe hispanic which may have connection with the fact that all the documents signed by EEOC were hispanics.
Method/system to rob from one race of people and pay another hispanic people at the expense of another/AA race.

FACTS

1. Ex-employer-H---- H------ M--- -used hispanics to intentionally harass intervener every day for two years. Intervener filed complaint with EEOC Greensboro Office in 19--. (people associated with Bojangles newspaper incident always had vehicles on employer's lot).

2. EEOC gave intervener right to sue letter in 19--(plaintiff dropped case because of no attorney.

3. Intervener filed charge against Bojangle’s in ---- -hired gay guy by name of Love and communicated to intervener that intervener couldn’t date if working; EEOC gave intervener a right to sue letter- Intervener dropped the case because of no attorney.

4. Intervener filed EEOC charge against ---'s --l- in 0000 - discrimination;
ALL documents [including a request for a FOYI from another district] signed by a hispanic.

1. Investigator Rafael A. Nieves
Did investigation in less than one day Greensboro EEOC Office

2. Local Greensboro Office Director- Jose G. Rosenberg
Right to Sue Letter 2days letter signed Greensboro EEOC Office
No mediation=?

3. Deputy District Director - Carols R. Villescas
FOYI (Freedom of Information Act)- Charlotte EEOC Office

An attorney said that by Law there should have been a court ordered mediation=!!!!!!!!! How much did ---‘s –l-- Offer?, he asked; told him that there wasn’t any mediation; I wondered why they(EEOC-hispanic investigated and signed right to sue letter-in two days=no investigation) did not offer mediation. .






I want the court to investigate into why all hispanics signed my documents(If it is code)to not help person or to help deceive person of their rights; identify how the Wal-Mart vs Dukes case is associated or a form of swindling intervener out of rights of case 00-0000 in 4th circuit appellate court in VA.


Intervener asks the court to a response, the makeup and attitude of the United States Court system is well know through out the world; which includes the fact that the vast majority of the court is of the same race that some of the elements of part of the original complaint concerning the race and gender of the people who approached demo cart when working at defendant’s company; thus if Pro se were to request that all people of the said race to please dismiss them selves for practice/sitting in/on the case; there would probably be no one to hear the case.

All the hispanics in the case never had any intention of the case ever going foward or being heard with any real legitimacy because they knew that the case would be good to be used to help push their case through which is basically made up of hispanic women; while the 00-0000 case would be a good case to beguile, delude,deceive, distort, cheat, defraud, through fraud.

The following article was written by an innocent in approximately 1994:

5/11/10(retyped)

What you are about to read is the result of months of research that began in July,1993 concerning the housing in Winston-Salem, North Carolina; specifically the location of Housing Projects in Winston-Salem beyond east Winston, where 97% of the population is minority.

What my research lead to is the discovery of a view point within the leadership that may provide an insight as to why a segment of the minority population, (especially the children) have resorted to crime and violence as a way of life, and that the problem of crime/children and crime/Afro-American 's is an old one.

In 1939, Mr. C.C. Spaulding, President of North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance, who had written an article for State Magazine on the subject of Crime and the Black population said,

"Faced with the appalling picture of the Negro immersed in crime far beyond that which is usual for a group of people and faced with the possibility of an even greater percentage of unemployment-it is expedient that we seek an explanation and find and apply some appropriate remedy for the correction of existing condidtions."

Psalms 94 v 20: Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which
frameth mischief by a law?

Psalms 94 v 23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them
off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall cut them
off.

On August 1 of the 9,414 prisoners confined in the state prisons, 3,716 were white and 5,698 were Negroes. The figures show futher that 221 persons convicted of crimes punishable by death have been executed since North Carolina turned from inflicting the death penalty by hanging and adopted the methods of electrocution and death in the gas chamber. Of the 221 person so executed in recent years only 43 were white, while 178 were Negroes. The Negroes constitutes about 1/3 of the population of the state, yet he is responsible for 60% of the crimes committed and represents from 60 to 70% of the total unemployed.

Faced with this appalling picture of the Negro immersed in crime far beyond that which is usual for a group of people and faced with the possibility of an even greater precentage of unemployment- it is expedient that we seek an explanation and find and apply some appropriate remedy for the correction of existing conditions. 1

The first riot occured in Winston-Salem in 1895 according to the Winston-Salem sentinal (P-1). The second riot occured in 1918 when the first city officer to be killed was K. M. vickers, who was shot by Author Tuttle. Arthur Tuttle was one of a group of Negro men who would not move when Vickers ordered them off the sidewalk to let a white woman pass. Tuttle and Vickers started fighting and Vickers ended up shot.

The riot occured the night of Saturday, August 11 and continued into the next
morning, just days before Tuttle's scheduled trial. What brought the blacks into the streets near the jail downtown, the newspaper said, was the rumor that whites were coming to take Tuttle from his cell and lynch him. The primary reason is that a N. C law recently had been changed so that a person could be charged with second-degree murder, and if found guilty would NOT be executed.


Whites began to realize that Tuttle possibly wouldn't be executed and rumors of lynching started and a crowd of Black people gathered at the jail to protect him. 2

There also was the "Nat Turner Rebellion" in 1936 which encouraged the citizens of Salem to take precautions, according to an article from Winston-Salem Journal,
(3/22/36).

A Negro garage worker, James Eller, arrested on suspicion of drunkedness was hit by a policeman and died. Later developments added to the uneasiness and resentment among Negroes:

- The arrest occured on October 1, 1967, the police did not release details of
the incident until eight days later. This aroused the suspicion among the
Negores that something was being covered up.

- Chief of police, Tucker did not suspend officer Owens, W. E. until 12 days
after the arrest.

- City officials and prominent lawyers began pressing privately for Grand Jury
Investigation which was announced Thursday night, after the rioting began.


Police said that most of the trouble makers were young. 3

Policeman shot an escaped prisoner on Sunday night read the head lines in the Winston-Salem Journal, April 30, 1969; both of the men were Negroes.

"City quiet: Guardsmen withdrew: read the head lines on the second night of the riot, in the Winston-Salem Journal on May, 1969.

Negro-owned businesses are languishing say Negro businessmen and they believe conditions will not improve unless special incentives are provided. A
lack of know how and a shortage of investment capital are primary obsticles to business growth, the businessmen said, but they emphasized two other factors
as well;

GEOGRAPHIC ISOLATION:
Virtually all Negro-owned businesses are concentrated in Northeast Winston-Salem and are patronized by a predominantly low-income clientale.

DUPLICATION OF SERVICES:
Over 20 Negro-owned restruants, 25 barberhops and 50 beauty parlors operated in or near a 2 1/2 square mile are of Northeast Winston.

"Near-owned businesses have virtually no economic impact on the city", said Crisp (William Crisp,former director of the Winston-Salem Small Business Development Center). Although nearly 200 Negro-owned businesses are
operating in Winston-Salem, crisp believes that fewer than 10 take in annual gross incomes of more than 100,000. 4

Contractors want help in getting bids to help build the Stevens Center and the Greensboro-High Point Regional Airport Terminal.

Black contrctors complained when Winston-Salem State Univerisity's new dormitory was built, they weren't even allowed to bid, in 1993.

The GOODWILL Committee, chaired by William S. Yeager; is an employment subcomittee of the Mayor's ( M.C. Benton). It is a biracial committee; objective-to get a commitment from local firms to hire or offer equal job opportunities for
all people without discrimination because of race, creed, color or national orgin.

The firms desired to remain anonymous.

The statement says, The employers of greater Winston ----------------------is a moral responsibility and an economic necessity for the community to provide maximum possible opportunity for all people"

These employers of greater Winston-Salem wish to make it known that they hire recruit, assign, train, upgrade, promote, transfer and pay employees on the basis of merit without discriminiation because of race, creed, color, or national orgin.

It makes one wonder why the companies wanted to remain anonymous;were there any companies that committed to the objectives of the Goodwill Committee, in 1964?; and how were the people to find the companies if they remained anonymous?

As the officiers walked toward an alley outside the Cleveland Avenue homes one evening last summer, people began to whistle -a sign that police was near.

The officiers kept walking. At 21st Street, officer Rick Moser reconized the driver of a car cruising up and down the street. The car pulled up next to a house, and the horn blew and the driver got out. When Moser and offier Scott Logan asked for his license, the man began to struggle. The officers pulled him to the ground and called for backup. They confiscated 23 rocks of crack cocaine, marijauana, about $400 and two beepers.

Before the foot patrol started in Cleveland Avenue in 1991 the neighborhood was known as a drive-through drug market where 50 to 100 people stood on the corners to make sales. Most residents know the officers by name, and children run to greet them. Slowly the residents and the police begin to see one another as people." 7

There was a photograph of an officer with some black children approximately six to eleven years of age in Cleveland Projects, (the officer was holding a little black girl as the other children watched). Where are the other communities where there is a need for the children to see the officer as their friends?

Coventional and modular houses selling for $50,000 and $65,000 have sprung up in the neighborhood (11th and 12th). William H. Andrews a black developer build Andrews heights at the corner of 10th and Camel Avenue, he expected to include 64 townhuse-style condominums. He finshed six, priced at $56,000; none had sold as of date. To provide middle class housing in East Winston proved only marginally successful.

In 1985, the city put up $3.6 million dollars for the 96 unit Summit Square Garden apartments between 11th and 12th street; File Street and Cleveland Avenue. City officials said they hoped that the deluxe apartments would lure black professionals back to East Winston. But the project fell victim to an over supply in rental housing citywide. Today the apartment complex is struggling along with 80 to 85%, occupancy rate. The rates range from $325 a month for a one bedroom apt. to $425 a month for a three bedroom unit. The city aldermen had to lend its owners $500,000 last year to help the complex survive. 8

The city spent $4.1 million dollars to build an apartment complex in the middle of a pocket slum, knowing that the residents couldn't afford the housing. Why? $4.1 million dollars is a lot of money to throw towards ahope that didn't exist (Black Professionals moving into the Summit Square Garden apartments) instead of towards a hope that existed (job training jobs and education for the people who lived in the pocket slums).

Authur S. Milligan, Jr. who heads the Winston-Salem Housing Authority is determined to change the communities (housing projects) image. Since taking over February 1992, Milligan has been instrumental in reshaping the attitudes of the thousands of residents who live in public housing communitites.

He held management positions at several companies, the reason he was approached for the Wilson position was because of his management skills.

He believes in operating the Public Housing Authority, which oversees 2,700 unit, like a business. It is that policy that led the authority to purchase Plaza Apartments, a privately owned complex from an investor. The apartments, in the northwest corner of Northwest Boulevard and Thurmon Street, were going
downhill because the owner was loosing money and was unwilling to put more money into fixing them up, Milligan said.

Milligan said that the authority financed the acquistion through private and public resources. The authority will renovate the property and because it won't be tied to any Housing and Urban Development money, the authority hopes to attract the kind of renter the private market would like to attact.

Milligan said it's a win/win situation because the city will earn revenue from the taxable property, the conditions of the property will be improved, and there will be more affordable housing from which to choose.

Milligan is also working toward installing air conditioning in every unit-a project he hopes to have completed by next summer. The Housing Authority doesn't use the "P" word (for project) any more. Milligan explained that the term came out of President Franklin Roosevelt's administration, when housing was contructed to temporarily house the unemployed until they could find work. The problem with the "P" word is that the projects are now our neighbors," he said.

He also prefers to call Public Housing residents "customers". Public Housing is service oriented and the people they service are customers, he said. "Our customers deserve the same respect and dignity anybody else in this town gets,"
he said.9

Why can't the residents buy their own air conditioners? Would the money that was spent to invest/finance the Plaza apartments have been used to develope jobs and provide education for the residents in the pocket slums in east and Northeast Winston,(predominately Black communities)?

If the "P" word was developed by President Roosevelt's administration for housing that was constructed to temporarely house the unemployed until they could work; wouldn't that word (projects) remain operable today because most of the tenants in housing projects aren't working or don't make enough income to establish a permanat residence outside of the projects without public assistance?

Because what happened, occured in executive session the part of the meeting that is conducted behind closed doors-neither Marshall nor Brown would disclose what upset them. Both said the issue was race related and presonnel-related.

"All I will say is I felt the nature of the matter was racist, and I felt the integrity of the executive sessions was violated," Marshall said.

"It had a strong odor of racism,"he added. I didn't feel like tolerating any more of it, so I walked out. That was the strongest statement we (Geneva Brown and Walter Marshall) felt we could make." 10

He (Maj. Mike Schweitzer) told the commissioners, here for their annual retreat, that he and sheriff Ron Barker (think) they can make money and increase the time that Forsyth County convicts spend behind bars. Schweitzer who runs the jail, said he hopes to charge the state $70 a day for each inmate housed in the jail, which is expected to open this fall. The money would pay for rehabilitiation programs and would generate up to #3.1 million Schweitzer said." 11

Isn't it interesting that $3.1 million dollars is almost the same amount that the city spent in 1985 to build the Summit Square Apartments instead of giving the residents hope through job training, jobs and education. But isn't it more interesting that the city is going to be paid (3.1 million dollars to house and rehabilitate individuals (who came our of pocket slums (housing projects, whose judgement was prevention into social and economic office against morality, which probably could have been avoided if the $3.6 million dollars that the city had spent on an apartment building (which none of the people who lived in the pocket slums could afford) had been used for jobs and training and education.

In 1939, Mr. C.C. Spaulding, President of N. C. Mutual Life Insurance said, "that it is expedient that we seek an explanation and find and apply appropriate remedy for correcting the exsisting conditions (Negroes or African Americans committing 60% of the crime in North Carolina). That was fifty-five years ago, today the whole country is in an uproar over crime, and everybody's solution is to build more jails. Not ony is Winston-Salem in trouble, but America is in trouble." Mr. Spaulding knew in 1939 that imprisonment was NOT the answer and that there had to be a reason for Blacks committing such a high percentage of crime. Now citizens and authorities want to imprison children (mostly Blacks) 11 and 12 years of age and nobody seems to have found a reason why Blacks committ a higher
degree of crime than anybody else and the children (mostly Blacks) are getting
younger.

Orginally, the topic of research was "The Housing Projects of Winston-Salem". Specifically, are there anymore Housing Projects in Winston-Salem beyond east
Winston ( a predominately Black community)? When I went to the Public Library and asked the Librarian fo information on Minority Housing, she direrected me to a
group of reports done by various housing and governent agencies and gave me a folder entitled, "Winston-Salem Negroes (RACIAL UNREST)". In one of the reports was the statement: OTHER REALITIES, HOWEVER TELL US THAT WE STILL HAVE POCKET SLUMS WHICH FOR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL REASONS SHOULD NOT BE REHABILITATED. ANYONE WHO KNOWS THIS CITY (Winston-Salem) AND COUNTY (Forsyth) ALSO KNOWS THIS TO BE TRUE."

Judge K. W. Davis, director of the city (Winston-Salem) Welfare Department mainains a most sympathic attitude towards the welfare needs of Negroes. It works chielfly in the fields of delinquent and dependent children. Judge Davis has a real insight into social problems and treats each child as an individual problem.
His aim is not to convict children of crime, but to find out the CAUSE for deliquency and dependancy and to rehabilitate these children. 12

Judge K. W. Davis knew in 1939 that there was a cause for children becoming deliquent. Judge Davis knew not to convict a child of a crime but to treat the child as an individual and find out the cause of the child committing the crime. Winston-Salem chose NOT to rehabilitate pocket slums for economic and social reasons and by doing so have left the children and their parents that live in the pocket slums on their own economically and socially. Now the citizens and authorities want to group them together and convict them of crimes, change the laws so that children are adults, instead of treating them as individuals and locating the CAUSE that turned them to crime.


Winston-Salem's riot history from the first riot in1895 to the riot of 1969 maintains proof that there is a reason for violence. Take for instance the Negro-businessmen in 1969 who said, "The Negro-businesses have virtually no economic impact on the city." (That statement still remains true in 1994). Still true in 2010.

Black contractors wanted help in 1986 and 1993 with getting bids to build buildings in Forsyth County.

In 1964, Mayor M.C. Benton inacted a subcommittee "The GOODWILL committee" that was suppose to obtain a committment from local employers to provide opportunities to all people.

What happened to the employers and why did they want to remain anonymous?

The GOODWILL committee was organized one year after Braska Peoples was hired by City Hall:

"Briska Peoples, the first Negro elevator operator in Winston-Salem's City Hall, has become the first of her race to assume a purely clerical post in the municipal building.

The city has had a number of Negroes in other positions, policemen, detectives, firemen, parking meter checker and water meter readers. Negroes also in hospital position, as well as many public works department employees. There are Negro employees in recreaton, library and other positions."13

Why was City Hall the last place that a Black person was hired?

In the Winston-Salem Journal, there was a picture of a white officer holding
a little black girl surrounded by other little black children and a picture of an officer arresting a drug suspect. The article explained how things have changed and the residents of housing projects and how the children were beginning to respect each other as people.

That was a very touching picture and article but those children in the picture (who have grown up in one of the pocket slums which for economic and social reasons should not be rehabilitated) know (as anyone who knows this city and county aslo knows this to be true) that that particular scene won't take place to often.

On the other hand those children (who have grown up in one of the pocket slums which for economic and social reasons should not be rehabilitated) know that they are more likely to have experienced the picture of the officer arresting a suspect (friend, neighbor, relative, parent) numberous times (because of other realities as anyone who knows this city and county also knows this to be true.
As touching as the picture was, where are the pictures of other little children being held in the communities (non-black communities)? Are the officers going to go to other (non-black) communities to reassure the children that the officers are their friend?

In 1985 the city put up $3 .1 million dollars for a 96 unit apartment complex, "Summitt Square", which the city was hoping to lure Black professionals back to East Winston.

Why would any professional earning enough money to buy a home want to rent an apartment in (a pocket slum which for social and economic reasons should not be rehabilitated because of OTHER REALITIES as anyone who also knows this city and county knows this to be true): most people, even Black Professionals want to invest their money to show a profit. Could $3.6 million dollars have been used to create training and jobs for the parents in the pocket slums to give them hope to pass on to their children? Or could the $3.6 million dollars been used to create hope through educational and social programs for the children in the (pocket slums which for ECONOMIC and SOCIAL reasons should NOT be rehabilitated because of OTHER REALITIES as anyone who knows this city and county knows this to be true).

In 1988 William H. Andrews, a Black developer built Andrew Heights at 10th and Camel that included 64 townhouse style condominiums at $56,000. He completed six and when the article was written in 1988 he hadn't sold any to date.

Weren't there six Black families in 1988 that could afford $56,000 condiminums? I'm sure the surrounding residents on 10th and Camel wanted a new home. If they couldn't afford it, Why?

It is good that Arthur S.Milligan Jr., Director of the Housing Authority assisted in reshaping the attitudes of the thousands of residents who live in public housing communities (that are pocket slums for for ECONOMIC and SOCIAL reasons should NOT be rehabilitated because of OTHER REALITIES), but what about the thousands of individuals who live outside the housing projects in houses that would be classified as pocket slums? Who is helping them to reshape their attitudes? Will the children who live in the SUBSTANDARD houses surrounding the housing projects become the next generation of criminals because they didn't live inside the housing projects? And wouldn't Mr. Milligan or isn't Mr. Milligan working against the objectives of the Housing Authority? (OTHER REALITIES, however,tell us that we still have pocket slums which for ECONOMIC and SOCIAL reasons should NOT be rehabilitated. Anyone who knows this city and county also knows this to be true.)

By changing the attitudes of the residents in the housing projects, wouldn't they eventually begin to think that they could buy property? (OTHER REALITIES dictate that pocket slums (housing projects) and people who live in pocket slums (housing projects) should NOT be rehabilitated.) Isn't it possible that the objective of NOT rehabilitating the pocket slums (housing projects and the people who live in housing projects) economically and socially would be achieved through Mr. Milligan helping to change the attitude of the residents who live in pocket slums ( housing projects)?

But then again with the purchase of the Plaza Apartments, the city and Housing authority would achieve their objective (NOT rehabilitiing the pocket slums(people who live in the pocket slums ECONOMICALLY and SOCIALLY because there is less money to spend for social and economic rehabilitation, such as job training and education, while there will be more affordable housing even though no one in the pocketslums (housing projescts) can afford the new affordable housing, while the city and Housing Authority can publicly take credit for improving the housing conditions.

According to the article in the Winston-Salem Journal, Mr. Milligan has done a tremendous job changing the image of the residents of the housing projects (Pocket slums) that's great but, how long will the great image last after Mr. Milligan is gone?

Will the image be transfered to the children who go to school from pocket slums when the children from the pockets who don't live in or around the pocket slums-
(who for ECONOMIC and SOCIAL reasons SHOULD be rehabilitated because of OTHER REALITIES as anyone who knows this city and county also knows this to be true) begin to discuss their social and economic privilages and experiences? Will the image be transfered to the children from the pocket slum as positive as they begin to realize that a positive image is fine, but positive and great experiences socially and economically are better? Will the positive images hold up as the children realize ( who live in the pocket slums which for ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL reasons should NOT be rehabilitated) they nor their parents can afford to buy, go or do any more with their positive image than they could before Mr. Milligan began changing the image of the residents of the housing projects (pocket slums).

Will the great image holdup as the children (that don't live in the pocket slums which for ECONOMIC and SOCIAL reasons should NOT be rehabilitated)pick and talk about the drugs, guns and murder in the (pocket slums) neighborhoods that they live in.

Willie Booker, a psychologist conducted a violence reduction workshops said, "The city of Winston-Salem or nation, won't make a dent in the problem until ,'We start teaching violence reduction in the classroom." 14

Shouldn't the parents be the ones to teach their children nonviolence, and what about the children that live in the pocket slums that have turned into war zones, (which for ECONOMIC and SOCIAL reasons should NOT be rehabilitated because of OTHER REALITIES)? Would one tell a soldier in the mist of a war to lay down their weapon and start to resolve conflicts in a manner other than through violence?

"Set up a mentor program for the children without fathers. The absence of the father is part of the problem."15

It is possible that the fathers and mothers who should be mentors of their children, would have been there for their children, if (the OTHER REALITIES which anyone who knows this city and county know this to be true), hadn't overwhelmed them?

"Where is the parent who turns the violence on television off"? 16

The parent is sitting in front of the televison watching the violence with the child, using the television as a guide to teach the child how to survive their war zone community (the pocket slums which for ECONOMIC and SOCIAL reasons should NOT be rehabilitated because of OTHER REALITIES). Because the pocket slums should NOT be rehabilitated, the parents in the pocket slums end up locked in an ECONOMIC and SOCIAL slum which doesn't allow them to move their families, or send them to a war training camp; so they use the television as a teaching tool to help their children know what to do to avoid or handle a violent situation in order to survive in the pocket slum (which for ECONOMIC and SOCIAL reasons should not be rehabilitated because of OTHER REALITIES). Not to teach the child to defend themselves, would leave the child vulnerable to anything and anyone. Even the parents (in pocket slums which for ECONOMIC and SOCIAL reasons should NOT be rehabilitated) teach their children to defend themselves, even to the point of hitting and kicking (violence) an attacker to try to get away.

On the one hand everyone wants a solution to violence and want to teach the children to live in----------------------- the pocket slums that have turned to war zones, which for ECONOMIC and SOCIAL reasons should not be rehabilitated) not to be violent; but on the other hand want to teach the children who live in the pockets which for ECONOMIC and SOCIAL reasons should NOT be rehabilitated, to defend themselves.

The children who live in the pocket slums(which for ECONOMIC and SOCIAL reasons should NOT be rehabilitated) have no control over how they're attacked; only how they defend themselves.

"It someone teaches children coping skills and let them know that they are important and that someone believes in them and has high expectations of them, there will not be as many young people involved in crime and drugs," she (Graham-Wheeler), said. 17

As hard as Graham-Wheeler (Director of Best Choice) tries, she doesn't have the ECONOMIC and SOCIAL resources to replace the ECONOMIC and SOCIAL doors that have been shut because OTHER REALITIES tell this city (Winston-Salem) and county (Forsyth) that pocket slums should NOT be ECONOMICALLY
or SOCIALLY rehabilitated as anyonewho knows this city ad county also knows this to be true.

I admire Mrs. Graham-Wheeler and other persons exercising their talents and resources to help give hope to the children who live in the pocket slums which for ECONOMIC and SOCIAL reasons should NOT be rehabilitated because of OTHER REALITIES.

Most of Best Choice parents are single working mothers with median incomes of $5,000 a year. "They have not yet been exposed to a lot of things themselves, so they are limited," Graham-Wheeler said. "This kind of economic and social situation becomes a cycle that is almost impossible to break," she said. 18

It is possible that the reason that the parent's income is only $5,000 because they live in the pocket slums which should NOT be rehabilited ECONOMICALLY. It is possible that the parents haven't been exposed socially because they live in the pocket slums which should NOT be rehabilitated SOCIALLY. Is it possible
that the city and Housing Authority intentionally direct money to buildings around the pocket slums (housing projects) because they have decided that people who live in pocket slums are NOT rehabitible, so therefore spend the money in buildings, such as Summit Square, the city jail and the Plaza Apartments; thereby making it extremely difficult to rise above the poverty level as is the case with most of the mothers of Best Choice and the remaining thousands of residents of the Housing Projects (pocket slums).

If the city and Housing Authority are intentionally directing and deciding with the thought in mind that pocket slums should NOT be rehabilitated ECONOMICALLY and SOCIALLY, wouldn't that make Mrs. Graham-Wheeler's and every other good intentioned person effors self defeating and a waste of time? For everyone knows adequate resources are necessary on a constant steady basis, not a one time five year span unitl the people who live in the pocket slums cool down.

"The children are filled with Rage, they don't even value their life, so you know they value yours less."19

"The children have lost respect and value for human life." 20

"We need to teach young people to respect human life." 21

Not only are the children filled with rage, the parents are filled with rage. Wouldn't you be too if you knew but had not proof that your child's SOCIAL and ECONOMIC opportunities were being used in a manner that other realities dictate that the children of pocket slums should NOT be rehabilitated ECONOMICALLY and SOCIALLY. It is difficult to explain and teach young people who see and know that they have been classified as someone who should NOT be rehabilitated SOCIALLY and ECONOMICALLY. The children know that they aren't respected, the parents know that they nor their children are respected; they may not know who doesn't respect them, but they can see and feel the effects of living it in every day life.

Geneva Brown Walter Marshall walked out of the Winston-Salem Forsyth County School Board meeting to express how they felt about one of those-OTHER REALITIES. Imagine what defenseless children have to go through when those OTHER REALITIES follow them to school and then back home again because they nor their parents can't afford to socially or economically exercise other (nonviolent) options outside the pocket slums. All human beings (whether a person believes that they should be rehabilitated or not) need releases and avenues for their gifts and talents to realize that they are human,

Children that live in the pocket slums (housing projects) have no hope, they've never experienced life; so they have no reason to fear death. Life and hope
died when they realized that OTHER REALITIES (which they have no control over) dictated that they should NOT be exposed to social and ecnonomical opport-
unities. The children from the pocket slums have learned through observation that when they or their parents say it hurts; they receive more pain; but when the children or the parents complain from the pocket that SHOULD be rehabilitated; they recieve help and compassion.

President Bill Clinton said, "If we simple give ordinary people equal opportunity and a chance, they will do extrodinary things. (State of the Union Address/January, 1994).

Children are dying and killing other people because of OTHER REALITIES, however, which tell us that we still have pocket slums or should create pocket slums which for ECONOMIC and SOCIAL reasons should NOT be rehabilitated, as anyone in this city and county also knows this to be true; instead of opening doors to opportunities. There are various sources that want to pass laws that will classify the 11 and 12 year old as an adult so they can then order prison terms and have a clear conscious. What law are they going to pass to clear their conscious of 5 and 9 years old when they pick up the habit of their SOCIAL and ECONOMIC enviornment which should NOT be rehabilitated because they live in a pocket slum.

Psalms 94 v 20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by law?

God's quetion and only he can answer, I pray that for the city of Winston-Salem is not guilty of framing youth by law.

May God have mercy on the children and:

Psalms 94 v 23; And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea the Lord our God shall cut them off.
