"Walk with me" -- a community development effort | Yasser Payne | TEDxWilmington

Yasser Arafat Payne is the organizer of a street ethnographic research program centered on exploring notions of resilience and resiliency with the streets of Black and Brown America using an unconventional framework called, Street Participatory Action Research (Street PAR).
Dr. Payne aims to break down stereotypical barriers and images of Black and Brown people in the criminal justice system, so that transition back in the community and opportunities for upward mobility are successful. Dr. Payne’s work is centered on humanizing those in the criminal justice system and getting undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty, service providers and/or everyday residents to work more closely with those in the criminal justice system
Dr. Payne is an Associate Professor in the Department of Black American Studies at the University of Delaware.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

SHITE! just SHITE! ...- from a white boy who knows - to a beautiful young black lady. DEEP analysis, that paint a labyrinth of structure, that is the result of simple criminal inputs that should not be there to-begin-with, serve only to legitimize an already CRIMINAL system that feeds on the very battle that engages against it. I don't care how many convoluted explanations and solutions you interlace in a ball of SHITE, it is still SHITE! Any human group regardless of ethnicity that is left to be oppressed via survival/social attrition is going to produce anti-social disruption and once the virus is in place after years of continued oppression. the result is as a wounded animal who will never see other than to be backed into a corner with hardly any faith that anyone coming near is not foe in disguise. If you do not get to the root of the weed... waste of time... Society(people) does not really want to spend their life repairing what is continuously broken, that is so boring and missing the point. A small success used as an example of a grand solution while the system continues to create wave after wave of heads to fix is wishful-thinking at best! GOING after the CRIMINALs who cause this orchestrated horror, is where your efforts should be directed, ahead of the WAVES, not after they have come crashing down on the beach of despair!!! in 3 words: THE FILHTY JOOMINATI! conference abridged!

The question is now what to do with this data. How do we get it to our leaders to use and apply it...

"...and I mean that." - What America has become? Every word has a "tail" and subtle to twisted meaning so everything needs to be double checked and confirmed to the point where clarifying the original intended meaning is more important than actual topic. FFS America - where are you going with this?
