  THE ERADICATION OF THE BLACK MALE PROJECT

  TheGeoGee Experience

  Date / Time: 2/21/2010 2:00 AM UTC

  Category: Current Events

  
  

  We recently produced a show on the shortage of available older black men as comparable companions for black women. The research for that show spawned what we have undertaken as "THE ERADICATION OF THE BLACK MALE PROJECT" Startling scary statistics emerged from our research that unveils the underlying disjointed social, educational, and emotional components contributing the derailment of the black man from his community, women and children. Riveting, sobering, and scary would be an accurate description of this episode. On This episode we look at Education..the fourth grade failure syndrome.

  Firearm Violence In America

  It's become such a common occurrence, local metropolitan papers relegate it largely to a small honorable mention in their crime sections these days. TV news report the episodes of gun violence as a matter of fact add in most of the time. Large massacres gain the spotlight as long as public interest sales Ads or becomes too rapid a happening it threatens some city politicans reelection security. Then fades into a faint memory until the next flare up.

  
  

  Firearm violence in America. What's the resolution? More policing hasn't  appeared to to have a long term effect in our major cities. Manipulating gun controls laws in some states haven't prevented massacres like VA Tech. or their ever presence in domestic violence fatalities.
  

  Stiffer prison sentences certainly has not curbed the fatal incidents involving firearms. But then a large portion of individuals that  use guns in a crime don't wake up that morning of a criminal mind.

  Some state laws have make guns a little more difficult to obtain, leaving unaddressed how easy they are to use. Some have laws that have pretty much stripped the law abiding citizen of firearms leaaving the criminal element fully locked  loaded.
  

  Speculations regarding solutions are many as the acual resolve has been null and void.  What do you feel needs to be done to diminish firearm violence in America

  Fire Arm  Facts & Statistics

  "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from
  
  those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, U.S. general and 34th president (1890-1969)

  General Gun Violence Statistics
  
  FACT: In 2006, there were 1,036 gun deaths in the state of Illinois, a 1.6% increase from 2005 Illinois gun deaths
  
  1019. The 2006 Illinois gun deaths included 625 homicides (60% of all IL gun deaths), 372 suicides (36% of all IL
  
  gun deaths), and 24 unintentional shootings, 4 legal intervention, and 11 of undetermined intent (4% represents
  
  for all IL gun deaths).

  and adolescents ages 19 and younger, a 18% increase from the 2005 total of 130 in this age group. Nationwide for
  
  2006, gun violence killed 3,218 American children and teens ages 19 and under, an increase of 6.3% from the
  
  nationwide 2005 total of 3,027 this means that in the U.S. an average of 9 young people are killed each day by

  SPECIAL REPORT: Results from Report Published in the New Scientist
  
  The July 2003 issue of New Scientist magazine contains a report about life-saving technologies for guns that
  
  should be implemented as standards for the gun industry. Click here to view the online report. In addition to
  
  pushing for existing technologies to be incorporated into gun industry processes, the report also cited new data
  
  on the risks of guns. Here are some facts from the report:
  
      * People who keep guns at home have a 72% greater chance of being killed by firearms and are 3.44 times more
  
  likely to commit suicide than those who do not keep guns at home (Annals of Emergency Medicine, Vol 41, p. 771).
      * A recent survey of 236 types of pistols made in the U.S. found that:
            o only 13% had a loaded chamber indicator
            o only 20% had a grip safety to make it harder for children to use the gun
            o only 21% had a magazine safety, which prevents the gun from firing when the magazine has been removed,
  
  even if there is already a round in the chamber of the gun
        (Annals of Emergency Medicine, Vol 41, p 1)
      * A recent Emory University study shows that 32% of unintended shootings in the U.S. are caused by
  
  deficiencies in gun design. (Annals of Emergency Medicine, Vol 41, p 10)
  
  Teens Say It's Easy To Get Guns
  
  A nationwide survey about teenagers attitudes toward guns, conducted in 2003, found that:
  
      * 39% Number of teens who said they know someone who has been shot
      * 37% of teenagers could get a handgun "if I really wanted to"
      * 27% know of a handgun kept in their house, apartment or car
      * 59% do not believe that "video games can make teenagers violent"
      * 56% do not want armed security guards patrolling their schools
      * 90% do not believe that teachers and principals should be able to "bring handguns to school to protect
  
  students"
  
  Source: Teenage Research Unlimited, June 2003.
  
  Data from the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention show that:
  
      * Everyday in the United States, 8 young Americans ages 19 and under are killed in gun homicides, suicides,
  
  and unintentional shootings.
      * For every child killed by a gun, four more are wounded.
  
  
  Survey of Hunters Shows Support for Some Gun Violence Prevention Issues
  
  In the spring of 2002, Field & Stream magazine took an informal web survey of 2,897 F&S readers about the state of

  responses to a few questions relative to gun violence prevention issues. Questions are numbered as they were in
  
  the survey.
  
  15. Do you consider assault-style rifles to be legitimate sporting guns?
  67% NO
  33% YES
  
  28. Do you think people who want to purchase rifles and shotguns should be given background checks before they are
  
  allowed to buy the guns?
  66% YES
  34% NO
  
  29. Do you belong to the National Rifle Association?
  57% NO
  43% YES

  FACT: In 2006, a total of 763 young Americans ages 10-19 committed suicide with firearms, decrease of 7% from the
  
  2005 total of 822 youth gun suicides. Unlike suicide attempts using other methods, 92% of suicide attempts with
  
  guns are fatal, meaning a temporarily depressed teenager will never get a second chance at life. (CDC National
  
  Center for Health Statistics mortality report online, 2008; Wintemute, et. al., “The Choice of Weapons in Firearm
  
  Suicides,” American Journal of Public Health, Vol 78, No. 7, July 1988, p. 824)

  and in 72% unintentional firearm deaths and injuries, were stored in the residence of the victim, their relative,
  
  or their friend. On average, 68% of suicides for youth ages 15-24 are committed with guns. (Grossman, DC, Reay DR,

  Washington, DC, 1998)
  
   
  
  FACT: In 2006, the national gun death rate for African-American males ages 15 to 19 was 36 per 100,000, a large
  
  disparity compared to white males of the same age (8 per 100,000). For black males ages 20-24, the gun death rate
  
  was even higher at 62 per 100,000, an even greater disparity compared to white males of the same age group (13 per
  
  100,000). (Numbers obtained from CDC National Center for Health Statistics mortality report online, 2008)

  Christoffel, KK, et al. Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, 1995)
  
   
  
  FACT: More than 3,500 students were expelled in 1998-99 for bringing guns to school. Of these, 43% were in
  
  elementary or junior high school. This means that, in a 40-week school year, an average of 88 children per week
  
  nationwide are expelled for bringing a gun in school. These figures include only the children who get caught.

  Suicide and Guns
  
   
  
  FACT: Suicide is still the leading cause of firearm death in the U.S. In 2006, the U.S. firearm suicide total was
  
  16,883 a decrease from 2005 national gun suicide number 17,002. The state of Illinois saw a 12% DECREASE in gun
  
  suicides from 424 in 2005 to 372 in 2006. Over half of suicides in the U.S. are committed with firearms.
  
  (Numbers obtained from CDC National Center for Health Statistics mortality report online, 2009. The most recent
  
  year for which the data is currently available is 2006.)
  
  FACT: More than half of all suicides in the U.S. are committed with firearms. In 2006, 54.6% of all suicides in
  
  the U.S. were committed with guns. Firearm suicides represented 36% of all suicides committed in Illinois for
  
  2006.

  FACT: In 2006, a total of 763 young Americans ages 10-19 committed suicide with firearms, a decrease of 7% from

  are nearly always fatal, meaning a temporarily depressed teenager will never get a second chance at life. Nearly
  
  two-thirds of all completed teenage suicides involve a firearm.
  
  (Numbers obtained from CDC National Center for Health Statistics mortality report online, 2009.)
  
   
  
  FACT: Access to lethal means, especially firearms, greatly increases the likelihood that someone will commit
  
  suicide. A gun in the home is 11 times more likely to be used to attempt or commit a suicide than to be used in
  
  self-defense.

  Glenna Edwards Author of the book "Rainbow Bed"

  The death of a loved one is hard enough on adults, but children often have special needs after experiencing loss. That’s exactly why author Glenna Edwards wrote Rainbow Bed: A Child’s Perspective on Coping with Grief, her very popular children’s book from Outskirts Press that’s helping kids--and parents--work through their pain. Before they turn 15, 1.2 million American children will experience the death of a parent, and millions more will suffer the loss of others close to them. Children in Edwards’ family became part of those statistics in 2008, when Edwards’ mom and sister-in-law died within five weeks of each other. Afterward, Glenna watched as her son, Ben, expressed his grief through artwork. His healing technique so struck Edwards, she decided to write and illustrate a book to help people of any age who are grieving. The story revolves around a little boy who watches as his beloved grandmother, Mamaw, falls ill, requiring a caregiver. In his own words, the child expresses how he understands what’s going on around him as he handles the care-giving, death and grieving process surrounding someone he loves. Then, he begins to express how he feels in remarkable rainbow drawings that help others see something beautiful in a difficult situation. With its accessible treatment of a seldom-discussed topic, Rainbow Bed resonates with children, who can relate to the story’s young narrator and gorgeous full-color crayon drawings. And the story is also touching for adults, who can use it to open up conversations about bereavement with any age group--making it a perfect tool perfect for teachers and counselors. Edwards has donated over half the proceeds from the highly successful book to cancer organizations. “Almost every family I know has been touched in some way by cancer,” states Edwards. “I dream of a day when we have the cures and answers to every type of cancer.”
