[nfbmi-talk] The word is Accessible

[joe harcz Comcast]

Anything is possable with these folks and others who fail to enforce our 
civil rights under the Rehab Act (Title V), the ADA including Title II, and 
IDEA. These folks don't perpretrate discrimination. That is the job of folks 
like Cannon. Rather, and excuse the term, they turn blind eyes to 
discrimination and simply fight for services on a case by case basis. They 
don't handle systemic issues and chronic and pervasive discrimination. Such 
is the rub now twenty years after the ADA, thirty three after 504 and 35 
plus after IDEA.

But, pick a card any card and MCB and the likes of Cannon has in documented 
fasion violated them all. Oh, yes and don't forget mandates under Title I of 
the Rehab Act.

The trully sick and sadly pathetic thing is that Cannon and his ilc are not 
only not chastised, or gone after, but in the strange world of the politics 
of spin and the Orwellian universe of our political moment he is actually 
applauded and lauded as a civil rights champion including being huffed and 
puffed over his role on the ADA contrary to the public, and again documented 
record of abuse and discrimination.

It is like giving a civil rights award to Bull Conner, or even to the KKK.

MPAS and CAP are like the sops in the old civil rights era for those people 
of color who from afar watched while getting paid to enforce civil rights 
and did nothing while people like MLK and other heroes did all the real 
work.

Regardless everytime Cannon gets a pat on the back for access, civil rights 
and compliance let alone profound lies and hyperbola I get physically ill.

We should not allow this Uncle Tom to get glory for his sins against us. And 
nor should we allow MPAS, CAP and others in charge of enforcement and 
reconcilliation to get away with their groos malfeasance.

In the first instance Cannon gets paid for violating our rights. On the 
other hand MPAS/CAP gets paid to ignore the violations and documentation of 
same.

Needless to say something is very wrong, on its face, with this picture.

Some people look at the glass as half full. Some look at it as half empty. 
In these regards the bigots have dropped kicked the glass out of the stadium 
and then use their power to white wash the obvious facts.

I promise you all this: I may not be able to fix the system. But, I pledge 
to set the record straight.

Peace,

Joe
