The Americans Freedom Paradox continues in which Afro American mothers fight to bring awareness to a nation that clearly shows no value in the lives of Afro Americans.
To paraphrase Alexis de Tocqueville, the causality of a Revolution upon
America's soil lies not in its ability to proclaim Freedom but in its
inability to accept its dichotomy of Justice may give rise hereto.
Jordan Davis, Michael Brown, Trayvon Benjamin Martin and the many innocent Afro American Murdered through acts of Terrorism is America's 2014 Emmett Till reality.

One has to ask, what happened to Human value? Countries like the US and other Wealthy Nations have relegated "through their actions" the value of Children as lessor value than Dogs. Women especially are overwhelmingly choosing a future with animals as more preferable to children.
Humanity, especially Afro diaspora cannot survive by emulating euro centric actions that are clearly rooted in a people who have reached the pinnacle of material wealth. The Afro community must take action to teach young women and men the value of and the means to grow a prosperous family.
The greatest value in any nation is derived from family, not it's material wealth. That family ultimately develop the knowledge, skills and ability to achieve what is termed Human Capital which essentially the family enables it to obtain said material wealth.
Children is the key and any mindset that negates humanities ability to develop and build family is fundamentally doomed through policies that inherently focuses of the one absent procreation.
“As someone who has been afforded incredible privilege and opportunity, I
would love to give back to the community,” Washingon-Cole told The Root
while discussing her education. “You look at current events and wonder
what is it I can be doing to make the world a better place, especially
in communities like Gary, where I came from. There are people who have
experienced tremendous challenges and trauma, and I want to help.”
That is why she feels such a strong kinship with today’s
aspirational and powerful #BlackLivesMatter movement, which was sparked
by protests against police violence in the black community.
“When I graduated [from Notre Dame], some people were asking
why the media didn’t tell my story,” she said. “Why aren’t people like
me being put forth?I think that affects the community when positive
examples aren’t being highlighted. It suggests that perhaps black lives
don’t matter in a way. But the fact of the matter is that black America
has a spectrum of diversity. And I have one version of the ‘Black Lives
Matter’ story, and I want to be part of the solution to the problem.” - The Root
In medieval Europe, when a man vanquished his enemy, he killed the enemy’s wife, the enemy’s children and any other kin he could find. It was brutal; it was terrible. But it was done so that the enemy’s family would have no support, strength or even knowledge of who the man was. So that no one else in the enemy’s family would take up the mantle of revenge upon him or the next generation. Destroy the family, they knew back then, and you destroy everything.
"America in the 1940s" as well as Toady's America is no different."Malcolm X’s father, Earl Little, was a pivotal figure in the fight for black rights. In X: A Novel, co-authorIlyasah Shabazz—the third daughter of Malcolm X—recounts how her grandfather “was instrumental in getting Garvey out of jail” and “circulated the petition against the government for violating the human rights of Negroes in the United States.” So Earl was attacked. First the Ku Klux Klan burned his house down, and when that failed to stop him, KKK members killed him one night." - The Root

In Tuscaloosa today, nearly one in three black students attends a school that looks as if Brown v. Board of Education never happened. Central High is one of those schools. Meet Principal Clarence Sutton Jr. as he fights to save his students from the effects of resegregation.
This short film by Maisie Crow is part of ProPublica's investigation into the resegregation of America's schools. Sixty years after Brown v. Board ruled "separate but equal" had no place in education, many schools have moved back in time, isolating poor black and Latino students in segregated schools.

The
book, a combination of economics and history, tells the story of how
the United States built the world’s most successful economy by building
its most successful education system. At the heart of that system was
the universal high school movement of the early 20th century, which
turned the United States into the world’s most educated country. These
educated high school graduates — white-collar and blue-collar alike —
powered the prosperity of the 20th century, Ms. Goldin and Mr. Katz demonstrated. "- NYTimes.com
" ... A study, to be published next month in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology,
found that “Black” people are viewed more negatively than “African
Americans” because of a perceived difference in socioeconomic status. As
a result, “Black” people are thought of as less competent and as having
colder personalities.
The study’s most striking findings shed light
on the racial biases undergirding the professional world. Even seemingly
innocuous details on a resume, it appears, can tap into recruiters'
biases. A job application might mention affiliations with groups such as the “Wisconsin Association of African-American Lawyers” or the “National Black Employees Association,” the names of which apparently have consequences—and are also beyond their members’ control.
In one of the study’s experiments, subjects
were given a brief description of a man from Chicago with the last name
Williams. To one group, he was identified as “African-American,” and
another was told he was “Black.” With little else to go on, they were
asked to estimate Mr. Williams’s salary, professional standing, and
educational background. " - The Atlantic
Google paid $5 billion to Android developers across the world between June 2013 and June 2014. The $5 billion figure is lower than Apple’s, but not by as much as a person might think. For all of 2013, Apple paid developers $8 billion on more than $10 billion in App Store revenue. Yes, Google is behind (especially when it comes to average revenue per user), but the gross volume of Android helps make up the difference across the world.
Intel commits $300 million to workplace diversity - San Jose Mercury News
To start funding must first be applied in the early days of childhood to really achieve the goal of diversity. Those student will have the tools needed to truly compete in the Tech industry first and foremost as business creators.
To meet its goal, Intel will

will focus on promoting and retaining them, Krzanich said. The company
will also tie some of its managers' pay to meeting its diversity goals
I have had two personal experiences with law
enforcement officers that made me very conscious of the fact that simply
by being me, I could be the cause of suspicion and concern without
doing anything wrong. The first experience was when I was a young
Priest. The second was when I was already a Bishop. In both cases I was
not in clerical attire. I was dressed informally.
In the
first experience, I was simply walking down a street in an apparently
all-White neighborhood. A police car drove up beside me and the officer
asked, “What are you doing in this area? Do you live around here? Where
is your car? You should not be wandering around neighborhoods where you
do not live.” I never told him I was a Catholic Priest, but I wondered
what it was I was doing to attract the attention of the officer? This
was long before I heard the expression, “walking while Black.”
In
the second experience, I was driving in my car in an apparently
all-White neighborhood with two small chairs in the back seat and a
table in the partially open trunk tied with a rope. A police car with
flashing lights pulled me over. The officer asked, “Where are you going
with that table and those chairs? Before I could answer, he asked,
“Where did you get them? Then he said, “We had a call about a suspicious
person driving through the area with possibly stolen furniture in his
trunk.” I wondered what I was doing to make someone suspicious. Many
years would pass before I would hear the expression “racial profiling.”

“Whoever is involved, those are the people who were there. I wasn’t
there. I can only speak to the great man that I know and love, who has
been so generous, who has been such a philanthropist and giving back
millions of dollars to education and schools. And just the man I grew up
knowing. It’s really not my place to speak on that. Unfortunately, in
the court of public opinion everyone has formed their opinion, but we’re
still in America and you’re innocent until proven guilty of any
crimes.”
IMSI catchers, otherwise known as stingrays,
are those surveillance tools that masquerade as cell towers and trick
mobile phones into connecting, spewing private data in the process.
Law-enforcement agencies have been using them for awhile, but there's never been a good way for individuals to detect them. But that was before SnoopSnitch.
SnoopSnitch scans for radio signals that indicate a transition to a stingray from a legitimate cell tower.
"SnoopSnitch collects and analyzes mobile radio data to make you aware
of your mobile network security and to warn you about threats like fake
base stations (IMSI catchers), user tracking and over-the-air updates."
And just when you though Mobile Phones where safe for private discussions, financial transactions and not to mention those unmentionable selfies.
Google engineer Adrienne Porter Felt realized during a flight on Friday
that, for Google services and possibly others, Gogo was undermining
encryption meant to keep pages secure.
As Neowin first reported,
the certificate which was supposed to show that Felt had a secure HTTPS
connection to Google.com was raising a red X alert because it wasn’t
signed by Google. It was signed by Gogo. Undermining the SSL/TLS
protocols meant to encrypt data transmitted to and from a site is called
a man-in-the-middle attack, and Gogo carries these out on its own
users. The measures could give the company access to lots of user
financial data because of the phony certificates.-Slate.com
All must be very careful when using any publicly available WIFI services. All are potential security risk for man-in-the-middle attacks.
The new system should be fully operational by October and will eventually boast a 5 petaflop capacity, nearly double what close observers of the National Weather Service had anticipated. One petaflop is equivalent to a million billion floating point calculations per second.

The upgrade would have come sooner, but last year IBM sold its
supercomputing division to Lenovo, a Chinese company. “That froze us,”
National Weather Service Director Louis Uccellini recently told Mashable.
Having its supercomputers made by a Chinese company raised “red flags”
in Congress, so a new deal had to be assembled from scratch. -Slate.com
