Being Frank
By: Frank James Special to the Milwaukee Times
Who will be holding the bag? Protest has become the national pastime. In 2020 it seems as if there is always some form of protest taking place somewhere in the USA. The majority of the atrocities that led to these protests have taken place in the African American community. When it’s all said and done, who is going to be left holding the bag? Who will be blamed for the problems that seem to be plaguing the USA? Anyone with a brain can see African Americans will be the scapegoats. I understand the need to do some form of protest for the treatment African Americans have received in the USA. Yet, when I see Caucasian people out wearing Black
Lives Matter paraphernalia I have questions. Why are these white people so gung-ho on getting better treatment for blacks? I know many will say these new whites are a different breed than the old slave masters and segregationists of the past. That sounds righteously divine. What do these new whites have to gain? Never believe that white people are doing things just to be doing it. White people always have a plan, especially when it comes to African Americans. The question is, what is the plan? Looking at the state of
economy has taken a slide for the worse. The government is in shambles. Someone has to be blamed for this outbreak of misery. The majority of civil unrest in the USA stems from atrocities committed towards African Americans. Because of this there have been marches and protests around the country over violent acts performed on African Americans. These marches and protests have created civil unrest which affairs in the USA someone has led to property damage in needs to be blamed for the various US cities. How long failings of the country. The

before white people begin to blame African Americans for all of the nation's woes? U.S. Attorney General William Barr has suggested that sedition charges be filed on violent protesters. Wake up African Americans. Sedition is a serious charge that can lead to a 20-year federally sponsored vacation. If such charges are used against protestors you can believe many African Americans won’t be passing Go. My question is who is leading all of these violent acts of protest that are taking place? Why now? Protest seems to be the new "in" thing. The professional slaves have taken it up in all sports. It is a form of swag to protest in some form or fashion. This swag will evaporate when those sedition charges start being passed out. The swag will also dim when whites decide they have had enough. I have said before, “Anyone telling African Americans to fight the government is an agent provocateur.” African Americans aren’t in any position to fight anyone except each other. The person that is promoting violence during these protests may be, as they say, “Playing for the other team.” African American aren’t even in physical shape to fight. Look at the high numbers of obese African Americans. African Americans don’t know who to fight. By including a few white people in the marches African Americans are now confused. Since African Americans are confused they will wind up helping their enemy and killing their allies. African Americans need to look at Germany in the 1930’s to see what may be coming. Germany was in a mess after World War I. The economy was shot and the people disgusted. The Nazis rose to power. The Jewish people either left Germany or were persecuted to near extinction. Hatred of African Americans has always been the calling card in the USA. African Americans have been saturated with hatred to the point they subconsciously hate themselves. In 2021 a sacrificial lamb will be needed. Sadly it looks as if this lamb will be the black sheep.

Prostate Cancer Awareness Month (conclusion) “All praise to the God and Father of our Master, Jesus the Messiah! Father of all mercy! God of all healing counsel! He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us. We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort—we get a full measure of that, too.” - 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 (The Message Bible) We live in a world of pain and suffering. Certainly, at some point in life you have asked the question or heard others ask ‘why is there so much suffering in the world?’ This question is often considered when there is the presence of a world crisis, family or health crisis, etc. In fact, Lee Strobel, author of The Case for Faith (Zondervan, Sept. 2000) asked George Barna of the Barna Group to conduct a national survey in which he asked a scientifically selected cross-section of adults: “If you could ask God only one question and you knew He would give you an answer, what would you ask?” The top response, offered by 17 percent, was “Why is there pain and suffering in the

UWM Chancellor’s special message to the community
By Mark Mone Chancellor, University of WisconsinMilwaukee
We prepare. We partner. We produce. This has held true throughout UWM’s history and it certainly won’t change now, because this is exactly what Wisconsin needs. The headwinds of 2020 are testing us all, and like you, UWM is braving them through nimble adjustments and resilience. Challenging times require collectively strong allies. That’s why I want to personally share a few reminders with you about why UWM is more important and relevant than ever. Preparing students for success is at the heart of UWM’s mission, but we do so much more. Our work is a fundamental component of an educated citizenry and a robust democracy. We’re an engine propelling the workforce toward today’s indemand jobs, transforming our graduates into talented, coveted employees. We are also a community partner cultivating the change our region needs, especially when it comes to diversity and inclusion. And we’re researchers discovering solutions to societal woes, medical ailments, environmental challenges and industry inefficiencies. Year after year, one of my highest honors as UWM’s chancellor is congratulating the 5,000 students who graduate with degree in hand. They are engineers and entrepreneurs, nurses and teachers, and specialists in nearly 200 professions. They join more than 190,000 fellow alumni, and 80 percent of them stay right here in Wisconsin, forming the backbone of our business community. More than 10,000 UWM alumni already work for top regional businesses, and our new graduates stand ready to reduce the 40,000-employee shortage our region faces in critical fields. We’re a founding member of the Higher Education Regional Alliance, or HERA, which includes 18 colleges and universities that partner with a network
of organizations. HERA is dedicated to closing student achievement gaps, increasing degree completion rates and expanding the area’s talent pool to meet its workforce needs. I’m also proud to say UWM is the first four-year public institution to take the MMAC Region of Choice pledge, as well as the largest institution to do so. In concert with dozens of other leading employers, we’ve promised to help reduce the prosperity gap between the Milwaukee area’s white population and its Black and Latinx populations, which is, unacceptably, the widest among 20 peer regions. By taking the pledge, we commit to a 25 percent increase in leaders and managers of color at UWM, as well as a 15 percent increase in employees of color by the year 2025. This pledge aligns with one of UWM’s guiding values: an embrace of diversity and inclusion. Our constant goal is to make UWM a radically welcoming institution for people of all backgrounds. And yet, the countless voices in the Black Lives Matter chorus have crystalized the need for systemic change regarding racial inequity, so we’ve placed a renewed emphasis on being part of that change by leveraging our strengths of teaching and research. We’ve held wide-ranging and often-emotional campus dialogues with UWM students, faculty members and staff about the impact of racial injustice. We’re implementing mandatory anti-racist/anti-bias training beginning this school year for all faculty and staff, with plans to expand such training to students. We’re examining new administrative approaches, including adjustments to our recruitment and selection processes, to enhance our hiring protocols. We’ve also launched our Toward an Anti-Racist Campus initiative, which will award grants to faculty and staff for researching campus racial inequities and devising solutions. These grants emphasize expediency and mandate that resulting
world-class research is part of UWM’s lifeblood. The prestigious Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education recognizes UWM as one of America’s top research universities, an honor bestowed on only 131 institutions nationwide. In fiscal year 2020, UWM earned more than $62.7 million in research awards, including $45.6 million from federal agencies. That means cutting-edge, life-changing work progresses daily right here in our community, exploring fields from energy to physics, health care to freshwater science.
which transforms data into actionable insights to solve real-world problems. At UWM’s new Lubar Entrepreneurship Center facility, entrepreneurial training provides the tools to turn innovative ideas into marketable realities. And during the COVID-19 pandemic, UWM’s researchers are providing key discoveries regarding its spread, its impact and potential treatments.
In closing, I offer my deepest gratitude to our dedicated faculty and staff, students and alumni, as well UWM Chancellor as our community friends Mark Mone and supporters. You make all We’re thrilled to partner of this possible, and together, programs be implemented by with Marquette University we all make Milwaukee our Fall 2021 semester.
