Zone1 Hope is rising in South Chicago as Pastor Brooks Jobs Center is taking shape!

[MarathonMike]

This is how real change happens. From the bottom up, grass roots, when someone with a vision says "Enough is Enough". Here is Week 32 progress update of the McCormack Center. Not bad for a sellout, eh IM2?

What a shame! I do hope this center will benefit Americans and not just invaders.

Another job center in the black community. Apparently you don't read this and your racism makes you believe a false narrative.

The last thing the Chicago black community needs is another job training center.

The best job training is a job. Brooks could have built a supermarket and solved 2 problems at the same time with that 18 million he raised. Eliminating a food desert in inner city neighborhoods and providing paying jobs to youth and adults. So watch as little changes and racists like Mike will talk stupid.

IM2 the Sharpton disciple can't stand it that a strong Black man from the Black Community is bringing REAL HOPE to poor Black youth.

That's not true, really, when you factor in a supermarket, all the jobs provided are low wage, while an actual jobs training center can prepare kids for all kinds of jobs, and if you include high tech jobs like IT and programming, their earning potential would more than double that of a supermaket.

It is true. Because those jobs are not all low wage jobs, and minimum wage is better than no wage. Job training doesn't insure emplyment. Computer systems are used in supermarkets and big box stores. There are jobs centers in Chicago. Jobs are what are needed. 18 million could have created jobs.

And besides that, the McCormack Center will be WAY MORE than just a jobs center. Project H.O.O.D provides all sorts of activities and scholarships for the underprivileged kids of South and Chicago as well as counseling for adults to try and keep families together and get them off drugs and out of gangs. IM2 hates to see poor Black people taking control of their lives and rejecting victim hood.

Bullshit.

You get these good people who fight and strive, they make things happen and they change the lives of some of the people.

And at the top level they're all out there to make as much money as they can and they don't care. They could take what the good people are doing and they could roll it out over the whole country so the WHOLE FUCKING COUNTRY could benefit from it.

But no. They're out to enrich themselves, they're not there to improve the lives of people.

It's not about bottom up. It needs to be top down. But won't happen with the current electoral system, or the attitude in the US>

Top down has been failing South Chicago for 60 years. I'll never understand how people like you and IM2 can take a crap on a man like Pastor Brooks.

 

[IM2]

Top down failed America. And building job centers were part of that top down. There are job centers in Chicago, yet Mike says top down failed. A supermarket, or a big box retailer or superstore in that community would have worked better than another job center. There is a reason Pastor Brooks has not been mentioned as a Chicago Man of Excellence. He is not an innovator.

Yes, it has.

Doesn't mean it's not the right approach.

Why? Because US politics is messed up. What needs to change? The electoral system.

If the US gets Proportional Representation, then the attitude of the politicians will change, and then their goals change, and then things in the country begin to change.

How stupid can you possibly be? You are 99% of the problem.

Yes the electoral system does need to change.

Those poor people need something. Obiden 1 did zero to make any long term improvements. Obiden 2 is too busy allowing unvetted visitors to pour in at 200K per month. The only answer was America first Trump policy. Imagine what could have been if granted Deep State cooperation, and without 2020 Election fraud. We would be in high cotton.

What good would that do? No one honest or decent will even try to fight the Deep State and MSM and now the Courts too. It is now 100% communism/ socialism to bankruptcy & rebuild. Voting ended in 2020. Enjoy the ride. It only goes fast down now short of a miracle.

Unkotare with the fake news teaching fake Americans (illegals or anchor babies at best) enough English to sign up for benefits to destroy the country more quickly. The whole system he’s involved with is “on the dole” lol!

There is no deep state.

You’re probably in on it? You get faster raises, more time off, perks, cars, trips, working from home, giant pension etc. to blindly support these criminals D & R deep state 24-7?
