I forgot which one of our revolutionaries have said it, but, someone said, "Every time America goes to war, Black communities organize."
I think the entertainment business and government, in general, people with the seat of power, are doing their best to drown out our cries and water down our efforts. Truly, I agree with Sis NattyReb, that if our organizations can get past the little things, we can make a big and heavy step.
To me, this does not mean to put down our philosophies and stop organizing in our own ways, but to be the best at what we say we do. There is no problem with a Hebrew Israelite doing what he does, or a Panther doing what he does, or a Muslim doing what he does, or a Christian doing what he does...no, we need to do what we say we are here to do. If we say we are trying to liberate our people, then we need to organize and do what we say we are going to do. Competition is good...as long as its good competition. We have to form a United Nations, or whatever, of our black groups of liberation. We have to have checks and balances and know what we say we are is what we must be and nothing less.
I think such an initiative is real, and destined to happen because our people desperately need it. We have to drop the un-important stuff...and get in whats good. If we generally know something, there is no reason to pay to put a copyright on it...THATS how educated we have to become. Freedom- getting has to become a part of general knowledge, for us...no quotes.
Forward.
