NECKBONEOLGY: It’s time to talk about race This topic is really quite difficult to address because it touches on a very sensitive issue: racism. I have noted in recent years that when Black Americans open discussions on this issue, it is often said that we are playing the race card. The easiest way for whites to close the mouths

by Kenneth Lumpkin of black Americans is to accuse them of being whiners. Even though it is blatantly obvious that there are still racial tensions in Racine, the "politically correct" would prefer that Blacks overlook these problems. Most people like me believe that as the economy struggles, people tend to begin, in a more overt way, to show their displeasure with others that might not look like them. It is time that Racine County and city leaders come out of the closet and really start expressing what frustrates them about other cultures. It should be discussed in an open forum so that we can get a genuine understanding of the real issues that cause tension, and hopefully find avenues for rectifying them. When I say "other cultures" I do not just mean what frustrates Black people, I also mean what frustrates White people as well as all other races. Some years ago Debra Emery, former head of the Racine YWCA and now an advisor to the Mayor, held a Summit on racism. At that time, it was well attended and well accepted. In the wake of a growing belief that racism is worsening in Racine, this might be a good time for another open discussion on race. Many feel that the near bypass of a Black candidate as police chief, the continued closing of Black oriented businesses and programs, and the city's persistent efforts to drive Blacks from downtown night spots are examples of the need for an open forum on the Issue of race. Like it or not credit must be given to former Mayor Becker for creating a meeting with members of the Black community to dispel rumors of changes to two inner-city community centers being

closed some years ago. Over 550 individuals came out to speak to the needs in the inner-city. The lack of employment for Black Americans, the de-funding and dismantling of self help projects like OIC, CEDCO, George Bray Center, Urban League, and others were glaring examples of Whites in power stifling Black progres in Racine. To put it bluntly, it seems as if government then as well as now just doesn't give a damn about the plight of Blacks in this city. I firmly believe that one of the underlying problems that provokes racism today is poverty, and we are witnessing an abundant amount of hardship engulfing the poorest in our community. Unfortunately, society assigns to much Importance to the material evidences of "success" and those who do not display such evidence are often viewed as somehow inferior. We in the Black community must also acknowledge our share of the responsibility. We can no longer bury our heads in the sand and pretend that self-defeating behavior among poor Black Americans does not exist. The high school drop out rate is very disturbing, as is drug use, criminal behavior, high numbers of children born out of wedlock and parents abandoning their children. As Black leaders, it seems that we are sometimes more concerned about what White people think of us than how we can work collectively to solve our problems. Yes, we have always had to work harder for our share of the American Dream, but abandoning that hard work and instead hoping that exposing unfairness will yield greater success seems to me to be a fool's strategy. We must continue with the hard work while also addressing the unfairness.

defense of their own communities.

Equal opportunities The story of the Black American people is as old as this nation. It is an inspiring struggle for equal rights in the face of slavery, through the Civil War and Reconstruction, and then against racial segregation laws enforced by local governments. The prize for this movement for racial justice has always been equal rights to compete in schools, in jobs, in the military, at the voting booth and at the swimming pool. The quest has always been about leveling the playing field and

giving Black Americans a chance to show their genius. Frederick Douglas, Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. all have given their lives to open the doors of equal opportunity in the American mainstream for Black Americans. While we have come a long way with their efforts, the fight is far from over. And this should not a fight between the various segments of our society, but rather a fight that we collectively share against the prejudices and injustices that diminish everyone's experience of the American Dream.

Parham Celebrates 44th Wedding Anniversary

Unfortunate code of silence In a recent study it was revealed that 25 percent of Black Americans are locked in poverty, and the shocking picture of dysfunction is evident in a 70 percent outof-wedlock birthrate; a 50 percent high school dropout rate; and a disheartening 40 percent of America’s prisoners being Black. Instead of addressing these problems head-on in the Black community, there has been a long, chilling silence because few Black leaders want to be targeted by critics who charge them with being elitist or of excusing the historic damage done by racism. Many Black intellectuals are enforcing that code of silence, which serves to perpetuate the sad status quo among poor Black people. Additionally, there is the defense of hip-hop music, videos and films that excuse failure and even celebrate destructive, criminal “Gangsta” behavior such as violence, thievery and abusive treatment of women. These are just more ingredients in an already toxic recipe. No wonder people who have been elected to government, and their political cronies feel justified in the suppressive behaviors they direct toward the Black community. To them, their attacks must seem to be some sort of pro-active self-

Olympics: Gymnast Gabby Douglas captures gold 16 year old frist African American every to win singles all-around champions

By Elliott Almond ealmond@mercurynews.com LONDON -- Tears fell from Olympic gymnasts Thursday like the hard summer rains that soaked London.

There was joy. Gabby Douglas, the wunderkind from Virginia Beach, Va., bounced off the walls as high as one of her triple summersaults after becoming the third consecutive American to win the crown jewel of Olympic gymnastics -- the women's all-around title. Douglas, 16, showed 0up in West Des Moines, Iowa, to train with Liang Chow, the man who coached Shawn Johnson in 2008. An exacting man, Chow wasn't sure whether Douglas could reach the heights she did in London, leading the United States women to the team gold medal and bouncing back with four more stunning routines to grab the individual accolades. The "It Girl" of London was supposed to Michigan's Jordyn Wieber, the reigning world all-around champion. But the Americans are so strong Wieber didn't qualify for the individual competition after finishing fourth in the preliminaries. Only two from each country are eligible to advance to the final. While Wieber had to watch from the sideline, the buzz Thursday came from the high-strung teen that oozes personality on the mat as much as off it. Douglas is so precocious she persuaded her mom to let her move to Iowa two years ago to work with Chow. It took a full-blown campaign because Natalie Hawkins was having none of it. Hawkins finally agreed when her two other daughters supported Douglas' decision to leave home. Douglas moved in with Missy Parton, whose daughter also

trained with Chow. Now Douglas has joined Nastia Liukin, Carly Patterson and Mary Lou Retton as the country's only allaround champions. She is alone as the first AfricanAmerican gold medalist in the coveted event. "Yeah, I kind of forgot about that," Douglas said of the barrier-breaking moment. "I hope that I inspire people. My mother said you can inspire a nation." She inspired fans watching the Olympic gymnastics competition this week. Raisman's coach called Douglas' superb performances in London perhaps the most surprising element of the competition. Brestyan had noticed Douglas' inconsistency in practice. "Suddenly she hit three routines in a row," he said of the team preliminaries, team final and individual final. Chow, though, knew his gymnast was a big-game competitor. Four years after Johnson lost the all-around gold medal to Liukin, a representative of Chow's Gymnastics catapulted to the top of the world. "She's ready to move to a higher stage," he said. It's not abundantly clear how much higher this Flying Squirrel can go. She has serious hang time in the uneven bars. But Thursday, Douglas was in command from the moment she launched into a back handspring and 2 ½ twisting somersaults for an impressive vault. After that Komova played catch up. Because victories come in the slightest of margins, the outcome remained in doubt when the leaders entered the fourth -- and final -- rotation. Douglas had another dazzling floor exercise, the event in which she gets to showcase her lighter side all the while performing gravity-defying aerial flips. Komova went last. She had a solid program that just wasn't strong enough to overcome Douglas. The Russian Page 4 Racine Insider News, August 15-30, 2012

anxiously watched the scoreboard as minutes passed before officials posted the results. Once Komova recovered from the fact she had lost, the gymnast acknowledged Douglas "performed beautifully." Douglas felt something special would happen when riding the arena in a downpour. Her mom used to say rain was a sign from God that the day would be great. "I just told myself, 'Believe,' " she said. Don't fear, just believe.' " The unbroken belief led to the kind of tears Douglas could share with the world.

Jacato Residents kick-off National Night Out Against Crime Carolyn Bonds, who lives with her daughter on Jacato Drive, will quickly tell you that opening the Community Oriented Policing house at 2437 Jacato Drive, has improved the neighborhood since it was acquired by the Racine Police Department close to two years ago. Located in the middle of what once was considered a hotbed for crime, Bonds says residents now feel safe and not afraid to come out of their homes. “Two years ago you could not stand on the streets, they would be flying through here shooting bullets,” said Bonds. “ In fact,” she said. “You would be afraid to go sleep at night in your bedroom,” she added. On Tuesday evening, the COP house served as the backdrop for the Kick-Off of "National Night Out Against Crime", where citizens are encouraged to turn on their porch light and join their neighbors to take a bite out of crime. Local elected officials led by Mayor John Dickert, Racine County Executive

Jim Ladwig, state Rep. Robert Turner, DRacine, and Racine Police Chief Art Howell will be on hand to join the effort to retain the neighborhood. Echoing other officals, Officer Arron Henry, who works out of the COP house, wants residents of the neighborhood to take ownership of the community. “I want them to understand that this community is for them and not us (the police), he said. County Executive Ladwig said that Jacato Drive is a neighborhood in transition that needs more than one agency to improve the area. “It can't be just one entity that changes a neighborhood, it has to be all of us together, the residents, the government, all of us at one time.” He also noted that police calls had dropped from about 50 a day to less than three. About 50 events were held city-wide hosted by community centers, churches and on neighborhood blocks. Elected officials, fire trucks, and Sheriff Deputies traveled from one event to another until about 9 pm when most activity ended.

10 Years of Service to the Jacato Drive Neighborhood Paying Off

For more than 10 years the members of the Abundant Life Christian Center located at 3433 Douglas Avenue., Racine, Wisconsin have been diligently and faithfully providing services to the residents of the Jacato Drive Neighborhood. Each year the Senior Pastor & Founder of Abundant Life, Elliott K. Cohen, would present a vision to the congregation which included the adopt-a-neighborhood initiative. Several neighborhoods including Jacato Drive were part of the Senior Pastor’s vision to maintain a commitment to the marginalized and disen-

franchised citizens of our community that needed to see Christ through the works of the members. Neighborhoods like Jacato Drive have benefitted from the generosity of tithes and offering of Abundant Life members in the form of donations of hundreds of school supplies for children and young adults, appliances, furnishings, clothing, personal hygiene products, rental and energy assistance as well as spiritual guidance, mentoring support for youth and adults, parenting education, financial literacy, transportation assistance, education support, job

readiness/retention support, family reunification and advocacy assistance, crisis management intervention and the role of a community liaison between the residents, property management companies, political leaders and local law enforcement officials. Our Senior Pastor met with Former Chief Wahlen and Deputy Chief Art Howell over lunch nearly three years ago to discuss long-term strategic planning for Jacato Drive, the addition of Community Oriented Policing(COP)Houses and ways to reduce crime and violence in the City

of Racine. The National Night Out event celebrated a kick off on Tuesday, August 7th at the COP house located at 2437 Jacato Drive. A host of local and state leaders convened on Jacato Drive to kick off the city’s National Night Out Against Crime events. Prior to the construction of the COP house, prior to the two individuals that shared the podium with the Chief of Police on Tuesday Night coming into the Jacato Drive Neighborhood and prior to volunteers planting perennials at the COP house on Jacato Drive, members from the Contuine on next page

PAYING OFF from page 5 Abundant Life Christian Center under the leadership of their Senior Pastor& Founder, Elliott K. Cohen, and Pastor Josette Cohen have been planting seeds into the neighborhood of Jacato Drive for 10 years that initially looked like it was going to be difficult to yield any growth because the soil of the community was so badly marred. But 10 years later the ministry that started with being committed to the residents of Jacato Drive demonstrated their commitment again by cancelling the regularly scheduled bible study on Tuesday Night, August 7th and encourage the church membership to meet on Jacato Drive by the Stage On Wheels for a worship service including the Abundant Life Praise Team and a dynamic message on the value of hope from the Senior Pastor Elliott Cohen. Crowds of the neighborhood residents gathered around the Stage for music, a message and reflection on the doors of opportunity that are about to be opened for those willing to believe even when it means that there is nothing significant around us to anchor our hope into. At the end of the night, the Chief of Police remarked to Senior Pastor Elliott K. Cohen his appreciation in trailblazing communities like Jacato Drive until the support from community partners like Officer Aaron Henry(COP house on Jacato Drive), Mary McIlvaine (Racine Neighborhood Watch Inc., the Nehemiah garden project) and Beth David(We Are Racine) arrived to support the work implemented and initiated more than 10 years ago. The seeds planted are starting to grow.

Steppin

Chicago Style No one seems to know how it got started, but most believe that “Steppin” got its start in the Windy City of Chicago. In Chicago they call it Steppin’, or Chicago Style Steppin’ in other parts of the country they call it Jazz dance, The Cakewalk, The Ring shout, The Jitterbug, The Swing, Jazz. Stepping is an urban dance that continues to evolve defining its unique style and culture within the context of mainstream Swing dance. Stepping has gained popularity, particularly but not limited to the urban neighborhoods of America. Stepping makes reference to other urban styles of dance found throughout the United States larger enclaves in cities such as Detroit, Cleveland, Baltimore and Washington DC. In Racine, Donnie Snow, a local elected official, and husband and wife team

Derrick and Sheronda Glass, has emerged as Racine’s top Steppin promoters as DSD Instructors Donnie Snow, Sheronda and Derrick Glass Steppers.

Six people was killed and four wounded, according to ito reports from law enforcement authorities. At Sunday's service Pastor J. Mark Freeman saying, “It is necessary to stand together.” The main speaker, Rev. Jackson called for more gun control while leading a chant from the congregation, he said, “Wipe out these guns before these guns wipe us out.” People must also set differences aside, speakers said. Jackson also told people that he will be organizing a chapter of Operation PUSH in Racine soon.
