About Me

Anyone wishing to support ShaQuanda Cotton and her plight may do so at:www.handsoffshaquanda.orgConcerned 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.CONTACT CONCERNED CITIZENS FOR RACIAL EQUALITY: [email protected]="Myspace Layouts" style="position:absolute; left:0px; top: 0px;" border="0" page.

My Interests

In Memory of Yolanda King, the eldest daughter of the great Martin Luther King.Concerned Citizens and some of its members recently recieved a public attack from Lee Taylor of The Paris Texas Housing Authority. Members have also recieved public attacks from Marva Joe and Vanessa Preston, local blacks who appear to be of the opinion that there is no longer any need for civil rights organizations. 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".....----*THINK*----"I FREED A THOUSAND SLAVES. I COULD HAVE FREED A THOUSAND MORE IF ONLY THEY KNEW THEY WERE SLAVES"-Harriet Tubman-*The ends you serve that are selfish will take you no further than yourself, but the ends you serve that are for all, in common, will take you even into eternity.*-Marcus Mosiah Garvey-

On September 13, 2006, a 14 year old African American boy was thrown down and injured by a Paris High school teacher who is also a school police officer. The child received injuries resulting in a visit to the ER because he attended his brother's football game with assistant principal Althea Dixon claiming he shouldn't have been at the game because earlier in the year he had been in ISS. Rather than the adult being disciplined, the child was punished. Now a year later, the student is to stand trial for "trespassing". Is this the type of "education" we can expect for our children now? Its time to stand up for our children. School is supposed to be a highway that leads to higher learning, not a highway into prison.

OUR JOB IS NOT OVER.To support ShaQuanda Cotton and her plight, go to:www.handsoffshaquanda.org*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. "A people without knowledge of their history is like a tree without roots." - Marcus M. Garvey-
