Thomas Muhammad: Envision Montgomery 2040 Comprehensive Plan tonight was a resurrection or dejavu of the 2020 plan.
It could be better explained as a "Super Home-going for Black Montgomerians." Yes home-going as in death! The event it self was seemless and well coordinated. I'm not knocking the facilators of the event, I'm referencing what's not in the pictures now or December 1999 (Envision 2020). These were and are comprehensive plans outlining how the city will move forward and what it must become according to the City Developers not it's Planners; if you understand. Tonight the public partook in what appears to be the planning stages. Yes, they took input from the audience but the audience won't bring into fruition the DEVELOPMENT.
Look carefully at who's not in the audience. The power brokers aren't present (predominantly white males), no representation of the Asian (Koreans), Arabs, Indians (India) or Latinos or Native American (Indian casino owners). This means that the real moves and deals are done privately. Once again, an overload of debt will amass and the dominant population will foot the bill (taxes), while those not present will reside outside of the city (Prattville, Wetumpka, Pike Rd, Auburn, Hope Hull and the like comfortably and secure with soaring home values and reputable school systems. Meanwhile, the terminally ill predominantly black City of Montgomery remains the work hub and revenue source(s); "the mule or the plug!"
The population demographics reflect 60% blacks, 33% whites, 3% Hispanic, 2.5% Asian and 1.5% Arab/Indian.
Money, money, money is always the power. For whatever reason, we've failed to understand the difference between benefactors and beneficiaries. Thus far the other 40% have been mainly the beneficiary because of Obligation/Municipal Bonds and other debt instruments that we the 60% (benefactors) give to them exceeding $350 million to be paid back by an ever-growing black population.
Almost all of the Manufacturing, Industrial, Lodging, Gas, Food Production, Textile, Financial and everything else are controlled by the minorities in the city.
The shenanigans or games we allow to be played on our people should be punishable by an extreme internal code for misrepresentation of the group by the so-called leadership as it is within the other 40% minority groups. Yes, whites are a minority in head count only. However, the minority groups are wise in their control and manipulation of the majority.
They plan, and we carry out the others plans to our demise. The theme of unity was propagated verbally, yet it didn't reverberate (boomerang) monetarily then or now.
Get out of the way and let our young folk see their way through. This is reflective of Anytown, USA not only Montgomery.

The Case that won't go away 43 yrs. and counting, Bernard Whitehurst Jr.

Saturday Sep 08, 2018
On December 2, 1975, Bernard Whitehurst Jr. was murdered by the Montgomery Police Department after being mistaken for a robbery suspect. MPD said Mr. Whitehurst Jr. ran & fired shots at them, which was a lie. The Montgomery Police Department planted a gun on Mr. Whitehurst that they had confiscated in another case, as proven by the gun's serial numbers. In the months following Mr. Whitehurst's death, many city officials and police officers resigned, including former Mayor James Robinson, Montgomery Public Safety Director Ed Wright and three officers in the department.
It wasn't until 2012 that the city of Montgomery formally apologized for the murder of Mr. Whitehurst, and placed a plaque across the street from Montgomery City Hall in his honor. The family was never compensated for their loss, as current Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange said that the city could not use public funds for that purpose in a case where there had been no guilty verdicts. This is a conversation with Bernard Whitehurst III, A New Book is coming out nest Month "Closing Ranks" , You can order it now on Amazon. Will the city of Montgomery ever put this to rest ?, Will this book help, there is more to this story than can be written here. listen here to some of the story
