Whew! What an undertaking that must have been, especially this part:

It also must have a structure that will engulf all of our views to be successful!
i can only imagine the frequency with which those mtgs deteriorated into ideological battles. That's such a tough nut to crack, as you well know, we are real, real good at finding what separates us vs. what brings us together.

i really love this part too, which is really, really key, especially now when our youth need to learn from us but at the same time are ready to kick our disorganized asses to the curb:

Our political stratum must speak to the people and not down and at them.
i wrote a blog reminding us to accept our people right where they are at and build them up w/love, P.E. and not harsh criticisms. The old saying is true that we get more flies with honey than vinegar, and we need all the flies we can get!

i'd be interested in reading more about your organizing efforts, Bro. Majadi, if/when you feel like it! Asante sana for your message(s).

This power structure must have a militaristic wing as well to protect that group! Then we can protect and elevate the sistarrs for the masses to view their positions!

Aryans will always be Aryans!
