The
Generation S.N.A.P. Campaign
The Campaign began in response to concerns
from more than 100,000 parents, educators, ministers
and politicians to reduce the decline in the black neighborhood
by countering psychological urban warfare.
The campaign was developed with input
from partner organizations and focus groups conducted
across the country. These groups revealed that most
citizens agreed with the need to do something, but those
same citizens lack the solution(s) needed to correct
the problem. The same concerns exist throughout many
levels of educational and governmental agencies.
Court systems and local, state and federal
agencies are constantly creating programs to try and
alter how residents within the black community interact
with one another. The true solution to the problem must
take place inside of the individuals that make up the
community and how they interact with each other to repair
the disconnect that has developed over time.
Research strongly supports the urgent
need to find a solution, provide extensive training,
and identify resources , which will teach our people
how to get back to the basics by first understanding
where the problem originates. The highly acclaimed publication
written by Professor Alfred “Coach” Powell
entitled, Hip Hop Hypocrisy: When Lies Sound Like the
Truth, methodically walks the reader step-by- step through
the psychological traps devised to destroy the potential
for success within the hearts and minds of our black
communities.
Once we understand the problem, then we
can begin the process to cure the ailments that exist
in our communities. It is up to us to get the job done!
Our training programs will S.N.A.P. (Stimulate Natural
Analytical Processing) our people back to the tried
and true disciplines that have carried us as a people
through hundreds of years of trials and tribulations.
