PRECISE SCIENTIFIC INQUIRIES NEEDED
PETRI DISH PRECISION INQUIRIES
The United States of America 's 50 unique states represent 50 singular opportunities for interested groups or persons to experiment, to investigate--using "petri-dish" scientifically precise methods--the viability of certain aspects of American democracy, trade, commerce , arts, crafts , health, education , religion, law, as applied to still-deprived African Americans.
African Americans would be the focus, not the subjects, nor objects, of these demonstrative undertakings. Previously, a series of marketing researchers, political parties, government agencies, universities, companies, had cursorily investigated how best to dominate, to exploit, to sell items to our long captive, long-befuddled, but blessed, people.
What they looked for, fissures, deficiencies, they invariably found, given the nation's slave-history.
Rather than what lies above, what lies below the sociological surface of the majority of African American people, may best reveal the most ameliorative means to cure, to rehabilitate, to resurrect the toughest cases of socially despondent African American "remnants", now-called criminal ,"at risk" other names.
Tougher stains require stronger astringents beyond popular name, common brands. Hence, I call for socially scientific inquiries, investigations by those whose aims are redemption!
