ENUMERATORS
WHERE ARE OUR ENUMERATORS?
Who are black America's counters, enumerators, tabulators, estimators?
Who are the persons, groups, who determine our macroeconomic and microeconomic moves, based upon their more accurate calculations?
Those who have habitually lied in our faces @ history, news, religion , politics, everything, have no reason to be honestly forthcoming about numerical facts pertinent to blacks, now, do they? What incentives are there in truth for them, when lying has worked so well, wondrously so!
If not them then whom? Or what? And if there is no such source, why not? Maybe it is more profitable to go along, to get along with only the numbers of sponsors: of donors, of supporters, than to find our own!
"Garbage in. Garbage out." This is rubric that is not limited strictly to computer data. It is as pertinent to every kind of information input and output: economic, demographic, algorithmic data of all kinds. Smart people always count, record, measure, weigh, tabulate, quantify, assess, their money, produce, etc.
Our people must count if we are to make a proper accounting of our fiscal outlay and realize a profitable condign return. For us to be of any account, we must be able to count!
It is immature, dangerous, lazy, down right trifling, to rely on, to trust, to react to the latest statistics about us, delivered to us by others, as though they were the truth about us, sacerdotal, sacrosanct . Numbers are personal information, private information, privileged information also!
Trust none but one tried and true with the most powerful information about you and yours, or else suffer.
