In Memory of Yolanda King, the eldest daughter of the great Martin Luther King.
Concerned Citizens and some of our members receive public attacks from white citizens of Lamar County Texas who say racism is a figment of our imagination and from black people who say we shouldn't complain because of retaliation. Our response to that is without admitting a problem exists, there can never be a solution. "IF YOU'RE NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION, YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM".....

*BABY COTTON...THE YOUNGEST POLITICAL PRISONER IN TEXAS*
BABY COTTON IS A 14 YEAR OLD CHILD WHO WAS PLACED IN TYC FOR AN INDETERMINATE TERM UP TO AGE 21. SHE WAS A STUDENT AT PARIS HIGH SCHOOL IN PARIS TEXAS. HER MOTHER IS A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST. ARRESTED AFTER SHE WAS INJURED BY A MALE TEACHER AND A FEMALE TEACHERS AIDE, THE CHILD WAS CHARGED WITH "SHOVING" THE AIDE. SCHOOL WRITE-UPS SUCH AS "TARDY" AND "TALKING" WERE USED AS PRIOR OFFENSES. THE COURTROOM WAS FILLED WITH TEACHERS, PRINCIPALS, AND OTHER SCHOOL STAFF. EVEN THE OFFICE WORKERS SHOWED UP FOR THIS MODERN DAY LYNCHING. WHEN THE SENTENCE WAS READ, WHILE THE CHILD LAY WITH HER HEAD DOWN ON THE TABLE SOBBING, THESE SUPPOSEDLY ADULTS IN WHICH BLACK CHILDREN ARE PLACED IN THE CARE OF 7 HOURS A DAY, JUMPED UP LAUGHING, HUGGING AND HIGH FIVED EACH OTHER. A JUROR WHO HAD REMAINED FOR THE SENTENCING, GOT UP AND STARTED HUGGING THE POLICE OFFICER WHO MADE THE ARREST AND WHO ALSO JUST HAPPENS TO BE A TEACHER AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. THE CHILD WAS TAKEN FROM HER MOTHER BECAUSE THE JUDGE DETERMINED HER TO BE UNFIT. HER MOTHER HAD NO HISTORY OF ARRESTS, DRUGS, OR ABUSE. SHE HAD NEVER HAD SO MUCH AS A PARKING TICKET, YET THE JUDGE SAID SHE WAS UNFIT. THE REASON HE GAVE WAS THAT HER MOTHER HAD FILED TOO MANY CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. PISD STAFF HAVE INDICATED THAT SINCE THERE WERE BLACK STAFF PARTICIPATING IN THIS MADNESS, IT COULD NOT BE RACISM. THERE WERE BLACKS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE PROMOTION OF SLAVERY. THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SOME BLACKS WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GAIN ACCEPTANCE FROM THOSE IN POWER OR TO HOLD ON TO A JOB. IT IS EASIER TO ATTACK THE SLAVE THAN TO CONFRONT THE SLAVE MASTER. THIS IS LIKE A STORY OUT OF THE 1930'S. SUPPORT BABY COTTON.
BOOK'S THAT EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD READ!!!!
The Mis-Education of The Negro. The Isis Papers, Remembering Slavery, Remembering Jim Crow, Slave Narratives, Souls of Black Folk, Before the Mayflower.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BLACK HISTORY AND WHITE HISTORY OR HISPANIC HISTORY. HISTORY IS HISTORY. PERIOD! HISTORY SHOULD BE TAUGHT CORRECTLY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. AS IT STANDS, A DISTORTED VERSION OF WHITE HISTORY IS BEING TAUGHT.

Concerned Citizens For Racial Equality is a non-profit organization located in Paris Texas. Our organization was formed in 2003. Our goal is help ensure the human, civil, political, educational, social, and economic equal rights of all persons and to aide in eliminating racial discrimination and ensure civil and human rights. We accept and investigate complaints from individuals and assist if possible. According to 2002 Paris Independent School District discipline statistics obtained from The Office of Civil Rights, of all students being disciplined, 85% are listed as black and 15% are listed as white and other. The school lists Hispanic students as "white and other". By doing this, it gives the appearance that white students are being punished at a higher rate than they are. When you go look inside the OCS room, 85% to 95% percent of the students seated there are African or Hispanic. During one meeting with PISD Superintendent Paul Trull and Concerned Citizens For Racial Equality, Trull was asked if he thought black people were worse than white people...His answer "Let me put it like this, who is it you see in prison". If the superintendent thinks black students are worse than white students, there can be no equal treatment. Minor school write-ups are now being used as criminal records in juvenile court. African and Hispanic people must join together to protect our children and protect our human rights. The Black and the Brown should embrace each other as one.

I would like to address the allegations made by Brenda Cherry, president of Concerned Citizens For Racial Equality, against the Paris Branch of the NAACP and The Diversity Task of Force of Paris. Several years ago, Ms. Cherry and her organization joined the Paris Branch of the NAACP. This was during the time all of the charges were being made against the Paris Independent School District with the Regional Office of Civil Rights in Dallas. When the Regional Office of Civil Rights found that the Paris School District had done nothing wrong, the group filed against PISD with the Justice Department of the United States.
The Justice Department sent a mediator (not an investigator) to work with the Paris School District and the Concerned Citizens. The president of the NAACP and several members served as observers for the meeting. Rules were set up and both the school district and the Concerned Citizens were to follow them.
One of the rules was neither group was to talk about what was going on in the mediations. The Concerned Citizens would not obey that rule and the school district broke off the mediation. The Paris School District spent time, money and lost personnel because of the Shaquanda Cotton case. The Concerned Citizens wanted the NAACP to join them in this case but they did not want her records turned over to the redress person of the NAACP. They never want to give you all the facts.
For example, members of the NAACP (I was one of the members) went with them to talk to former Police Chief Karl Louis about an African-American man who had been arrested. The NAACP was told by the mother of the man and the Concerned Citizens that one police officer was harassing the man by following him all the time and a white man had pulled a gun on him for no reason while he was walking by the white man’s house.
During the talk with Chief Louis, concerns were expressed about what we were told happened to the man. I ask Chief Louis if I could tape the meeting and he said yes. Later on I read in the paper the man was on video tape when arrested with drugs and a gun falling out of his pant leg and the white man had caught him trying to break into his truck.
Out of the Shaquanda Cotton case, The Diversity Task Force of Paris was born. The Concerned Citizens have been at every meeting of the task force; at every event they wished to attend; and even hosted one of the U.S, Department of Justice town hall meetings to discuss racial issues. The group says they are unhappy with the Paris school system, public housing and law enforcement, but I suggest the group is unhappy with anyone who doesn’t agree with their agenda.
Marva Joe is a former Paris Independent School District trustee and is co-chair of the Diversity Task Force of Paris.

And had crashed there for what they thought would only be a few nights But wound up being trapped for the rest of their lives And as time, hope and memory passed Desperation was the most prevalent thing in most eyes Desperation, confusion and hunger Amplified by the basic drive to survive
Most times some of them would devise a plan Others amongst them, out of fear, would sabotage it Bind their wings behind them And Soon you would find them at the bottom of the Over Whelming Bird Inn Tired Pecked on And With the combative weight of the others pinning them down
I was one of them who fell through the bottom of the rotting tenement wood Our cries for help were ignored by the blind elders who had labeled us worm haters (Debaters) "Worthless Chirps" who'd been "sentenced to cell hurt By the wilt Of the Floor"
In starving desperation, we began flapping around Some of us struggled towards a small pinhole sized light That grew increasingly bright As we worked our wing's atrophy out The strongest of our break away crew Took a leap of faith And fell into flight Some of which circled back to tell the others Only to be stoned down as ghost sisters and brothers
There are almost none left who can fly Who are still willing to attempt To open the eyes of the mostly Blind and confused ones left behind In the Over Whelming Bird Inn But there is talk of plans being laid To try"
All love would be gone Happiness would leave with it too The spring would call in and say It's not feeling well that day And winter would stay and stay and stay and stay Until the only feelings left to know Would be cold cold cold And even the youth Would sit around like they're old
So I'd better keep you happy Well fed and laughing Even if I have to back down an army Playing a Hip Rock Clown Rapping Break every stereotype known to man Just to see you smile at me I'll consider it a small task Because I love to see you happy that much
And since scary to me is a world without you I'm going to do What ever it takes to be there for you Because you are a large part of my happiness And the extra smile to make you smile Means I'll be taking the road well worth it Clutch Love Because scary is the day our lives are filled With hollow meaning"
