LSU: Moment or Movement



Moment or Movement: A National Dialogue on Identity, Empowerment, and Justice for All, a symposium by F. King Alexander, LSU President, Monday, October 3, 2016 through Tuesday, October 4, 2016.
                In his invitation printed in the symposium program, LSU President Alexander explains the mission of research, education, and outreach toward “healing as a city” and “understanding as a society,” relating to the summer of 2016.
                My impression is that this event was in no way national in scope and subjects. It seemed more an infomercial for some LSU departments, the media, BRAC, some politicians, and especially two local entrepreneurs: Michael Victorian and Raymond Jetson, respectively. I feel that freedom of speech was uninvited. Also, Southern University[1], some black citizens, and much of the non-black community were slighted. It was shocking to hear women giggle when featured speaker Don Lemon used code words to perhaps extol fornication. I am grateful to have met some very nice people. Some participants have interests that are common to mine, such as broadly defined civic safety and security. A concert by the LSU School of Music and Dramatic Arts was unforgettable. However, I hope future president’s events are more open-minded for civic morality. My concerns during these, the best of times, were not addressed.
                Perhaps the next symposium will reexamine Dr. Norman Francis’s noble attendance, in the words I recall, “so that participants could meet a person who overcame the oppression that followed reconstruction.” Perhaps segue to the possibilities for Paul Taylor’s “mosaics” to overcome psychological oppression like Don Lemon’s robogiggle for “slip it in,” if I heard correctly. Coach students in fidelity to the indisputable facts of reality, and follow Dr. Francis’ choice: to be an American rather than African-American, if I understood him. Address all aspects of current opportunities the people, including professors, have.
Aside: On arrival, I met a man, Reggie, from New Iberia. With permission to talk about my passion, I told him I was there to promote private-integrity as private-liberty-with-civic-morality. He seemed to be cautiously interested. Later, I said or waved “hello” a couple times, but we never spoke again. Since then, through collaboration with William Bonin,[2] I revised “private-integrity” to “public-integrity.” These are noble yet achievable public objectives.
                In this effort to record my thoughts about a two-day experience, I request the reader’s patience to scan the phrases I gleaned from each one-hour panel discussion or other event then shared experiences, observations, and research to verify my notes. Please keep in mind my objective is to promote iterative collaboration for public-integrity as private-liberty-with-civic-morality rather than domestic psychological-combat to establish temporal dominant-opinion.
Journalism and Social Justice with Chad Sbadie, Jim Engster, Bryanj Tole, Sylvia Weatherspoon, and moderator Len Apcar
                Key ideas: Journalists discussed their role in social justice: civil conversation, budget restraints, don’t tell customers what to think, trained against emotionalism but flood was too much, cell phone makes fact-checks imperative, must partner with users of social media, The Advocate has no political agenda in crime reporting, Sterling event stirred racial-diversity interest on campus, a modern slavery system is one side of the story, tale of two cities everywhere in the USA and beyond.
                I made the statement that “social justice” was a mind-controlling phrase: “social” implies a norm that a “civilized” person conforms to. However, whereas “civic justice” addresses connected people living in the same time and place. I asked the panel to address my statement. Apcar asked the panel, and Jim Engster responded, “I agree,” then added, I think, Marshall McLuhan had written a book about the power of words and phrases in broadcast thought.
Aside:   Met Lauren Cooper; does Bible condone rather than “live with” slavery---free even though slave, read Steven Covey on civic vs social. Met Paul Baier, law prof. Both recalled my civic writing.
BR Summer of 2016: A Historical Perspective, Chris Tyson, Law Prof.
                Tyson had two editorials in NYT re Sterling, “respectful” conversation with septuagenarian about Sterling “execution,” history from BR a small town.[3] [4]
                Q&A: John Nolan made a pitch for RDA funding.[5]
                I challenged Tyson to review the history from the Code of Hammurabi, when slavery was an institution and then have an appreciative conversation with me. He said he would, but did not make contact, and Mrs. Cooper noticed that. I think Baier said he appreciated my comments.
Movement Beyond the Moment, College of Human Sciences & Education  panel expanded beyond Roland Mitchell and Lori Martin to Wesley Church (Social Work) and Michelle Massé.
                Key phrases: erroneous “only white on this panel,” how to form community, can’t judge a person by appearance or assumption, summer shaking but not new, don’t overlook human capital, “patriotic protests” an excuse for risking reputation and perhaps safety, “charity” is not equality[6] and justice, Jetson’s Urban Congress April 2016[7], “black” repeated a lot by Martin while “African-American” spoken by Church, Southern students against police more than LSU students[8], getting and spending wastes power, some feminist statements. Lots of buzz words, e.g., what’s the meaning of “LSU doing a great job for black men”?
                I thought this presentation was overly proud of its community work for blacks as opposed to civic work for all people in need. Also, the leadership seems to be more about materialism than civic morality. There was some inter-department bickering that should not have been expressed let alone observed by a civic people. Dr. Martin seems not to admit that white people exist let alone have any civic value, IMO.[9]
Side conversation with Mrs. Cooper. Perhaps Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits expresses civic morality. Perhaps the Bible expresses how to live with slavery rather than condones it (my claim).
A Summer in Crisis: BR and Social Media with Lance Porter and Rui Wang
                Key phrases: social media panel, world frequency of “Baton Rouge” or “black lives matter” using Crimson Hexagon social media metrics, more national attention to shootings than floods, use hashtags, use @mentions, activists load up sites so data may not represent the public, WordClouds.com and infomous.com free word trend study sites, homophile movement, clout. Young people get their news from social media, data follows demographics.
                It seems to me social-media-trending influences more than informs participants. For example, I doubt many of the people who know about Mr. Sterling’s death know his police record or the caller’s possible motives for requesting the police. The fact that the fed has not spoken is interesting. I prefer detailed sites such as quora.com and libertylawsite.org and Wall Street Journal rather than public-opinion-media beyond my hometown newspaper. Also, “National Affairs” quarterly has in-depth, evidence-based opinion.
Public Opinion about Race Relations and Law Enforcement in Louisiana with Michael Henderson and Martin Johnson plus some added panelists whose names I did not learn.
                Key ideas: city stats came from BRAF annual report; Louisiana Surveys by Reilley Center. Black’s opinions vs white’s opinions similar in all areas except law enforcement, with a negative 0.32 among blacks on a scale of 5, where both races rate service around 3.5 (not too bad as noted by Frederick Peterbark). In other words, black rating seems approving at 3.3 of 5. There was a big gap in Spring, 2015.[10] Race relations declined during 2014, 15, and 16; blacks perceive more racism than whites do. A professor’s policeman-husband told story about a 16 year old who fled his car out of fear of police. “Public opinion drives public policy.”
                My thoughts: this would-be opinion-directing group is so lost in their data and analytical tools they can’t relate to common sense events in Baton Rouge, specifically a long list of black separatist speakers and events.[11] The law-enforcement event of the Baton Rouge summer of 2016 seems promoted by Alinsky-Marxist organizers (AMO)[12], who strategized in 2015 for the inevitable event, but thanks to Louisiana law enforcement did not achieve the expected property damage and threats to residents and AMO-soldiers. This LSU symposium may be among the AMO motivations---an infomercial for their causes, intentionally or not.
                When I objected to “Public opinion drives public policy,” a woman rebuked me to say I should take some courses in sociology. I responded that humankind is deliberately (slowly) evolving a civic culture that provides broadly-defined-civic-safety-and-security rather than dominant opinion. Afterwards, she tried to rudely interrupt my conversation with Frederick Peterbark, LSU. I asked her to allow me to finish the conversation then converse with me, but she did not wait around.
                Michael Henderson kindly responded that my objections to “public opinion drives public policy” go deep into the debate about the basis for civic morality, or something to that effect. I was grateful for his measured response. Eventually, he accepted my card, and I hope we iteratively collaborate.
Business Leadership Forum with Patrick Mulhearn, Charlis D’Agostino, Joe Delpit, Dima Ghawi, Ann Trappey, and Adam Knapp.
                Key words: more fairness, coming together after the flood, either into politics or out of business[13], we care about BR, sold on personal closeness here, encourage employees to be into politics, “Conscience Capitalism.” Highly educated work force lessens diversity, only six percent STEM graduates are black, need to work with black men, small business is difficult no matter skin color. Working with kids from Gardere and additionally support business there, civic morality cannot be from up down, shocked with all black service for all white City Club, almost all at LSU game white [really?], Louisiana 49th-50th state but people love it so how do we move the needle from 50th, long tedious sermon on one bad apple in law enforcement [there’s one bad apple in all things], money talks, can business help K-12, Oct 25 Main Library[14], surprised with resistance to small business help at Southern U.
                I stated that I had volunteered to work with black groups but they made me feel they cannot accept input from a white man. It is well known that isolation does not allow cultures to develop as fast as collaboration and if Trappey’s work with black men confirmed my experience. She responded that their idea was that black boys would look up to black leaders, and it makes sense to her.[15] However, D’Agostino seemed to share my doubts. Also, Southern strikes me as an isolationist society. Perhaps I am the problem, but none of my efforts to communicate there have panned out. Perhaps people don’t trust me: are they stereotyping me as white-skinned, male, or old? Would that be racism, sexism, and ageism?
A woman approached me afterwards and said that she works with 100 Black men and not working with whites is not their intent. I gave her my card and tried to talk more, but she had to leave to meet Mr. Paul Taylor at the airport. I saw her the next day, and tried to talk more, but could not.
Government Leadership Forum with Angie Rogers and Zack Faircloth hosting Congressman Garret Graves
                Key words: Voting is Rogers’ passion. Louisiana has 86% registration and 68% presidential voting. Many ways to communicate with Garret Graves, for example, Facebook live from cell phone or desktop. Many objections to national debt: $68,000 per person or $1.2 to 1.4 million per newborn. Mr. Sterling’s death: 1) why not obey the police?, 2) why no Taser affect; too big? Drugs? Need better technology?, 3) adult selling CDs at 2:00 AM; we need to change that; Go to church and see segregation; need to change that.[16] Flood: when disaster strikes, there are no strangers. I handed Graves a note about private-integrity with my phone number. He said, “Nice to see you,” as though he meant it.
Reception. I talked with three ladies who did not really want an intruder. They seemed to be LSU employees.
Met a young man from New Orleans: Ry’yan, as in not just another Ryan. Both he and the woman with him took my blog card.
Challenging Ideas and Stakeholder Sensibilities with James Stoner, A. R. P. “Ravi”Rau, and Dayne Sherman, moderated by Kevin Cope.
                Key words: beauty of physics, free speech, public blogging, academic white towers, authority rather than license, protecting students seems negative---let challenge teach them, scholarly propriety, sports a classroom, Mike VI an icon of freedom, the library instead of the cell-phone, recovering James H. Cone book[17] from garbage for civil order, free thought never popular, income gap, education gap, bridging the gap getting harder, academic freedom cannot count on public opinion,[18] scholar vs public gap, racial gap, administrative gap, departmental disrespect and competition. Progressives intimidate the older generation, creating a listening gap.
                I stated that each member of the panel is precious to my work and would like more collaboration. I appealed for help in creating a civic event to celebrate Constitution Day; write all the time that everything emerges from physics as energy, mass and spacetime; and actively blog. Only one of the three responses indicated scholarly regard for citizens as equal persons, at least this one---it’s like a person in his eighth decade, married five decades in a family of five, with fifteen US patents and industrial, chemical reactors that will no blow up is less qualified for civic collaboration than a student in his or her second decade or beginning the third decade. Perhaps professors are just not civic minded enough to collaborate with citizens. There must be an explanation.
The Other Schools Across Town with Matthew Lee, Thomas Miller, Matthew Ware, and Mary Jarzabek.
                Key words: Maxine Crump’s reparations drive a good starting point; racial gaps have many aspects, isolation by choice; privileged blacks get privileged education; coaching toward motivation helps failing students; losing incredible talent by not educating children; segregation from whites.
                I started to establish that European-American colonists experienced freedom from oppression in their home countries, established liberty to live according to personal preference, then declared they were Americans and demanded national independence to preserve that liberty. My intent was to ask what could be added to the list---freedom, liberty, and national independence---to inspire African-Americans to also declare they are Americans. However, two events interrupted my freedom of speech: Mary asked where I was going then would not agree that I should stop. With Mary’s interruption, a black guy in the back declared he had heard my speech yesterday. I had not made the speech before. Thomas Miller claimed I was off topic, not knowing the topic. I stopped. Afterwards, I tried to talk to Miller and others to complete my story, but no one cared to listen. Mary apologized in the hallway, saying she was under pressure, and I said, “That’s OK: an awkward situation ended.” [Perhaps at the last paragraph of the symposium Dr. Norman Francis spoke the word I was looking for: Declared that he chose to be an American. I hope I understood Francis.]
Frederick Peterbark, may have referred to other issues when he said, “Each snowflake must take the same test. But they need a like role model.” Maybe the saying is “Even though snowflakes are unique, it’s also true that snowflakes are all alike.”[19]
                Other audience input: Annette Yancey stated that LSU colors are more welcomed at restaurants than Southern colors. A drama professor said open doors do not attract blacks. Miller said the idea that blacks choose Southern because they can’t make it at LSU is false, rather they choose Southern for its excellence. Take advantage of LSU’s chubbiness, built up over a long history. The need to work often takes students past the six year limit on TOPS. Need more Georgetown-like reparations. Need more commercials; Grambling is well advertised locally. Concern that Jay Dardenne wants to consolidate the 14 higher education institutions---close the ones not needed.
Environments for Advancement with Brian Salvatore, Lillian Bridwll-Bowles, Pamela Blanchard, and Richard Shaw, and moderator Kevin Cope.
                Key words: 4000 students at LSU-S, LSU highest ozone pollution center, fought barge cleaning, NBR subjected to pollution for years, promote environmental justice, build an environmental building, coastal roots program, educating 2nd graders during last 18 years, math-methods classes at Ryan Elementary, once a barge exploded near Southern and the students escaped to the LSU field house, Lt. Gen. Honore’ claims Southern the most polluted campus in America, restore obsolete buildings to accommodate students, recycling not working, need insulation, Scotlandville High to get environmental science, UL to get green award, grass roots more effective than top down like FEMA, need child-teacher leadership.
                I commented that my experiences with coursera.org were positive and the future campus might involve computerized instruction with class-time spent in close dialogue between professor and students. The comment seemed well received by at least one on the panel.
Aside: I met a man from Auburn, Alabama and member of an LSU foundation and talked about private-integrity [now public-integrity] as private-liberty-with-civic-morality. He mentioned an FM radio show, “Integrity Matters,” with online streaming. He parted with, “It’s all good,” a Christian hint.[20]
The Next America: Demographic Change in the 21st Century with Paul Taylor and Pew Research Center
                Key words:  Kenya, America on the way to non-white, 2014 superbowl commercials about LGBT and mixed-race families, immigration 1840-1889 & 1890-1919 89% European vs 1965 50% L.A. with 27% Asian; mixed-race newlyweds 2.4% in 1960 vs 15.9% in 2016; what are children of biracial children; original sin of slavery 400 years old [1700 years ago if sin[21]] and yet not reformed; SSI 1960 5.1 worker/beneficiary ratio vs 2.0 in 2030; millennials expectations 6% benefits at current rate vs 39% less vs 51% none; data on millennials vs generation X (above age 36) vs boomers (48) vs silents (65); wealth discourages marriage as under 35 have $10,500 vs over 65 have $210,000; births to unwed mothers OECD data; in USA teenage arrests and HS dropouts and teen births on the decline from 1993 till 2012; people living in multigenerational households 32 million in 1940 vs 57 million 2012; Facebook friends 511 vs 304 vs 183 vs 79 respectively for the four groups mentioned above; trusting others 19% vs 31% vs 37% vs 40%; support for same sex marriage; next generation mosaics not millennials; the American dream has lessened and it is up to us to change that. I bought Taylor’s book.[22]
                Taylor’s was an awesome presentation, with so many graphs and confident projections into the future as though Pew Research is prescient. I almost felt like, as long as we have Pew, we don’t really need the objective truth. There is something new in the world, and that is the information and data-handling exponentiality empowered by the Internet and maturing digital age. However, I doubt that the interdependency of the generations is obsolete, even if the younger generation currently thinks so. Fidelity may always be the essence of successful living. Karl Marx, the economist, predicted that humankind’s ingenuity would lessen and capitalism would inevitably end. So far, his prediction seems a failure. I doubt Pew Research as a predictor.
Meet & Greet with President’s Millennial Scholars I tried to tell two or three different young people about my theory regarding freedom from oppression, liberty to live, independent nation, and perhaps perseverance, but my presentation and question did not click with anyone.
Love & Justice: A Reflection on Identity, Empowerment, and Justice for All Through Music and the Spoken Word with students and faculty off College of Music & Dramatic Arts and LSU A Cappella Choir.
                The dramatic performances were well done. The solos were well performed and dramatic in effect. The performance of "The Fruit of Silence" by P. Vāsks gave me a good, streaming cry like I had not enjoyed in years. The wonder we experienced is mimicked[23]---without the moving, live LSU voices in the rotunda.
Aside: I met Corey Green, a music person and graduate student in counselling. I think I met him before at the recital hall. Did not achieve connection about my subjects.
Moment with Don Lemon and “community” panel Michael Victorian, Raymond Jetson, F. King Alexander, and Julie Baxter Payer.
                Key words: after the summer of 2016 what’s our role, America made blacks criminals to keep them slaves, I am a black American living in NYC where people happily try to “slip it in” if I heard correctly (giggles by ladies on the front row), movie “13th” reference no slavery except for criminality,[24] must personally understand our history, not all Americans have a choice as expressed in a spiritual,[25] statistics on shootings and crime, human connections among all, with 100 black men what they see is what they’ll be, national founding 1963 locally for mentoring & education & health and wellness & economic development, forced into renewed path of progress to recognize a wound so as to heal by confronting the ugly dynamic, American political fear of change.
Alexander: what should students do to change fear? Lemon, I recall, “Stop listening to us old people”[26]; America doesn’t close borders but welcomes; old people separate people[27]; don’t shut off free speech. Victorian: embrace who you are; respect others; recall someone helped you. Jetson: understand where you are and its importance; receive then pass down; social change always led by young people; urban-congress.artimization.net/ ; vote.
                I tried to comment: free speech wouldn’t alienate the older generation but also would not promote fornication, if that is what “slip it in” refers to. My hand was not recognized. Also, it was impossible to get Lemon’s attention in the photo-op afterwards.
Movement with Dr. Norman Francis
                Key words:  85 years old from Lafayette son of a barber therefore accustomed to public talk, grew up under Plessy vs Ferguson[28], lost human capital but some survived, teachers believed Norman could learn under high standards, common sense that is uncommon in 2016, trust yourself and your god and your country, brother was first black bishop rather than a lawyer who moved into education: Why is our country in this condition? Plessy was done to end reconstruction; 1954 Brown covered education only, good black teachers were moved to white schools, education the way out of poverty, unequal playing field, gap is widening, poverty growing like a cancer, need more money for black education, all in this boat together. John Gordon in 1960 wrote, “America does not know what it wants but knows it does not like what it has.” Rudi Lumbard, freedom rider, A. P. Tureaud, in audience; dad filed lawsuit for A.P. to attend LSU; LSU appealed, so A. P. went to Xavier. Book about poverty not black-skin, “A More Noble Cause.”[29] Educate self on coming legislation so as to vote your preference, smart in common sense, serve before you lead, know where you are going and have faith that you will get there, equitability not the same as equal, spend on reconciliation. Book “The Strange Career of Jim Crowe.”[30] Gap filled with mythology. Writers do not know the experience. I agreed to speak tonight so you could see someone who came through a system that tried to remove my dignity. “I am an American. I want America to continue to be great. I choose to be here.” Starting 1855 blacks were oppressed. Xavier is No. 1 in the country for PhD’s. The talent is there: must use it. Book, “The Perfect Storm.”[31] If not now when, if not here where, if not you who? Need integration for reconciliation.[32] Loyola left pharmacy in 1960 when legislature passed law requiring a separate building for pharmacy. Francis built a building in 2 years, and got no white students for 3 years. Now 20% white.
Reception: someone approached me and wanted to exchange cards at a table. There, I met two others including Lorraine Dickerson. She is a local activist and demonstrator over the Sterling death, and we now hope for iterative collaboration.
Disappointments: active questions were not addressed:
·         The slogan “black lives matter” was not balanced with “the bad-cop myth.”[33]
o   Data showing 17% increase in black homicides since Ferguson.[34]
o   President Obama in 2015 disputing FBI concerns on violent crime.[35]
o   Reports to protective child care agencies involving 6.6 million children in 2014[36] a more worthy cause for LSU attention, IMO.
·         James Meredith’s complaint[37] that since his 1966 march the black race has not taken care of duty and responsibility. What does his statement mean to him?
o   The influence of the “check cashing” portion of MLK’s 1963 dream speech
·         Can black Americans who descended from slaves ever appreciate white Americans, who:
o   Descended from colonists who discovered freedom from European oppression
o   discovered liberty to live according to personal preference yet face the facts
o   declared independence as Americans in their states rather than colonists
§  with help from France won independence from England
§  wrote a constitution for the USA
o   Fought the Civil War to settle “more erroneous religious belief.”[38]
o   We may establish public-integrity as private-liberty-with-civic-morality. Need to be Americans to accomplish public-integrity, IMO.
·         Will there be public-integrity, or can a nation divide on
o   black liberation theology
o   black supremacy based on Africa, the mother country
o   black power
o   Is slavery, after all, an institution of black God?
·         The history of slavery from the beginnings of written history shows that the European colonists were victims, yet their ancestors neither dwell on the past nor demand anything from the perpetrators of the past. The colonists’ ancestors choose to be Americans. Can African-Americans choose to be Americans?
·         How can America ask immigrants to assimilate when Americans do not resolve the millennia-old conflict introduced by slavery?
An appreciative symposium might address issues like the ones this person ponders.

[8] Is that surprising since Southern University hosts black separatist speakers who urge young people to demonstrate against law enforcement? See for example, nola.com/opinions/index.ssf/2015/02/jeremiah_wright_tells_a_southe.html
[9] Note: that is my impression and should not be taken as my expression of the objective truth.
[10] Was that because aggressive black leaders visited Baton Rouge in 2015? See theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/entertainment_life/faith/article_0267ba79-4a92-552a-aaeb-ecc5df56348a.html
[11] Some of them are covered in my essay, “Open Letter to Baton Rouge Leaders,” at cipbr.blogspot.com.
[12] AMO emerged from the past with three major events: 1) the 1969 formation of what became the Congressional Black Caucus, 2) James H. Cone’s 1969 work on black power and liberation theology, and 3) Saul Alinky’s 1971 work on public disruptions using recruits whose passions could erupt into psychological violence, property damage and personal injury.
[13] Private corollary: either public-integrity or no private-liberty.
[14] Online at investors.brac.org/events/brac-special-engagement-featuring-the-urban-congress-on-african-american-males-320/details  $15 fee excludes my choice to collaborate, but I will continue to support public libraries.
[15] This is another evidence that segregation by black-skin-color is a matter of choice.
[16] People’s choice about who to associate with in church is a private, cultural matter and not for collaboration with Congressional representatives. Congressman Graves and his entire staff are against my work to get religious preference out of public meetings. I work for public-integrity as private-liberty-with-civic-morality.
[17] Perhaps the book was Black Theology and Black Power, 1969.
[18] This statement provides an interesting perspective on the Mass Communication panel’s urge that public opinion determines public policy.
[21] Constantine required a Christian Bible and it was canonized during 300 AD to 400 AD including chapters that seem to condone slavery. Thus the sin of slavery as a Christian first principle is 1700 years old. Luther could have corrected it 500 years ago. Black church can help make certain the error is not repeated.
