lol.. i appreciate your wit.. to be clear i wasnt saying that you were trying to make it go into intellectual mastburation.. but i was saying i understood your response was intended to do the opposite--prevent the conversation from being intellectual masturbation..
i absolutely agree your healthy aversion to reactionary planning.. which way i started the thread.. to be the impetus of the opposite..revolutionary planning.. so i was clear the middle class reactionary black leadership will plan its response.. a couple of vigils, a press conference, a lawsuit, cops get off, family gets paid off..civil rights leader get paid and validate their usefulness with black people.. while black youth continue to die
and you re right its been going on for centuries.. well, slavery went on for centuries.. that didnt mean that enslaved and free afrikans didnt fight tooth and nail as if this battle.. no matter how insignificant in the contemporary or historically.. would be the one that ended this damn nightmare.. so that is my spirit.. one to fight, with intelligence and passion, against seemly unsurmountable odds..to commit revolutionary suicide..believing that the foundation of the revolution must rest upon the bones of the oppressors..
so my thread was more of cry...a grabbing hold of a truth, that struggle and resistance is necessary and essential for liberation..and just some goddamn basic dignity..no matter how hyper masculine and gangsta we appear..black men are chumps..(sorry if it raises some partiarchial overtunes and offends some)
i am grabbing the truth that the ancestors fought believing that where their blood was shed a thousand more would raise in their place..we must fight back...
how are we going to do it? what are the strategies and tactics? what do we want? what should be our goals?
(to you and everyone else) i was asking a serious question expecting serious, rigorous debate with some concrete actions to emerge..i would insist so with a forum associated with Auntie Assata.. who believed like Che articulated that "the job of the revolutionary is to make revolution"
so i was conducting a brainstorm, like in a business meeting, to generate ideals i can take back and use and test out.. but my business to bring war to the beast..
Steel Sharpens Steel.

I like your take on my comment. I apolgize for I am short winded.
I intended no distraction from the conversation, but a detonation or as you say "impetus".
To push it pass the "masturbation" stage.
The "reponse" should, as I see it, should be pre-emptive.
Reactionary planning or tactics is the bull putting the ring in it's own nose.
We see for centuries the story, it ain't changed.
Now to fix it.
We MUST grab Truth, whatever that should mean to each individual, by the horns and ride it for dear life.
The builds worldwide reputation, an endless value and a servicable pride.
It doesn't, as I am questioned about so often, it doesn't take any money, buildings, organizationalizing, or that other stuff we've been doing in mostly copycat fashion.
I know and understand it's simplicity, but it works marvelously!!!
