I know you've all seen this by now...

I know you've all seen this by now...


YES THIS IS BEYOND BLATANT AND THIS IS VERY BAD.......but does this mean that we rally behind ONE image of racism and fight to get ONE MAN FIRED?
These types of things have been flying around since FOREVER the company gets the publicity, the artist, writer, radio show host, talks show personality, gets a "PAID" suspension (vacation for a job well done) and is back after a year POSSIBLY some where else.
This is of course more bate and switch.....your focus is on one thing than this type of thing is thrown in to pull you from reality.
What needs to be done by ALL OF US is to stay focused on what we have been doing instead of jumping behind this ONE THING.
Troy Davis is still in jail
Our children are still under educated
Our families are still poor, hungry, split, or non-existent
We are still viewed in this way regardless of the president being HALF-BLACK
And are still suffering and will continue to suffer even though the president is HALF-BLACK
SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
Yell and scream over one act of racism or............FIGHT TO BRING OUR PEOPLE UP TO WHO WE SHOULD BE?
Because to be honest none of this is going to change until WE TAKE BACK OUR POWER TO SHUT DOWN THE NEW YORK POST OR ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION FOR THIS TYPE OF :bs:
Think about that and do something about that:coffee-n-news_3:

Y'all already know that i disagree with this line of thinking, in fact, the first thing i thought about when i saw this was those PETA folk dressed up in KKK gear. Yeah, it's related.

We have to be our own ADL, in fact, we've looong needed an organization with teeth that strictly focused on defamatory b.s. like this. The NY Post should no longer exist after all the ish they've posted over the years, no other group of people would have tolerated it! We're not back at that level yet.

i don't agree that they do this and no one responds in any way, that is too much like turning the other cheek to me. i don't believe that at the very least taking a few minutes and hitting their e-mails, telephones, or even our local news orgs., will distract in any way from anything we're currently working on.

i'm pasting in info below, just FYI. Yeah, the status quo may remain intact, but if you think about mass numbers of people doing a thing it may at least stink up the joint and eff up their day. If i can apply any bit of discomfort to these racist pigs then i'm gonna do it whenever it's necessary.

If anyone comes across a list of their advertisers, please post it!

Usually I would say love is everywhere, and it is, but I do agree that right now we are in a waring state whether people choose to realize it or not, we are waring with ourselves as well as an outside force......it will be hard, but we have Obama, I don;t mean that we acually have him, he like every other black figure was chosen for us to "lead us", in a way it worked because at the very moment he was elected we all felt as if we were one and that we were finally free.....the turth is, were not....but we should use this to our advantage and crush them when the time is right......PETA are jerks, they care more about animals when the Black male is dieing just as fast......I only speak the truth......with love Eka......
