Black inertia

Why are we at a stand still, where has the wind in our sales gone? We have no leaders. Our men do nothing on any grand scale anymore? The legacy left us we arent living up too. Our women arent allowed to generate power for us, because they are tooo busy doing what we should be. It will take Afrika 1000 years to fully expunge the European influence and fully return to her roots and culture. If we are to head back to Afrika, what do we have to offer her?

These are just some of the things that go though my mind on a daily basis. Where do we stand? How doe we begin to solve this problem, our problem, our childrens problem.

What I like about that is that it's mostly the genuine black people who have a real interest that come to visit and learn/share. Most of the ignorant shallow ones have no interest, which is a very good thing

You are funny...

You use alot of emotional reasoning. Maybe you should have asked me what I meant first. Maybe you should think more. Did you take time to think about what I wrote, even after I made comparisons to shallow people? You couldnt tell I was spaking about character? Okay, let me explain so you understand...

When I mean genuine I mean a black person who happens to be genuine in character, like saying "James is a genuine human being", or sincere interest. I wasn't speaking in regards to color. Seems like someone else made you angry and you projected their offense and reasoning on to myself. You should ask more questions to clarify before you respond. By the way I think it's a good thing that you have no desire to go to Africa, my own opinion of course.

Have you been there? What you might think is a problem to you may not be to someone else. It's all about perspective and accuracy of perspective.

when last i checked the great divide was increasing in america, the midwesit now a rust bucket, and health care issues far from being solved..

just because the media is hiding it, does not mean it does not exist..
