		<description><![CDATA[Free slave 

sitting down , i have my starbucks , and now i am ready .  

This post is beautiful , I am new to blogs  and feel that they are a great way to therapuetically expunge your inner demons , or rattle off instead of doing something you might regret , and  also great  source of information, actually they are better than the news , !!!!!    However you raised a valid point because I found some  sick pathological self delusional characters to be running blogs..

No blog is going to save the black race , at this point in time  , it might foster awareness about race issues  which , will initiate dialogue , but if you want to save the race then one must be proactive and  not just talk .  So I would suggest any said blog with this agenda to actually have physical events that people could attend , such as fundraisers, because let&#039;s face it , without money not much is going to get accomplished. I mean you can only read but so much .  

If one is truly interested to inspire &quot;people &quot; they would need to physcially experiment  with thier rhetoric ,so they are more clear in how to  broaden the horizons  for us people so they could stimulate  thier followers and help set the stage for a new path .

I feel for these people because I wonder 
Is life so bad that one has to map out that little space on the internet , and attack people if they do not agree with them . Talk about people&#039;s sexuality that one doesn&#039;t even know a cyber person no less ..   Or is it that bad that One needs to write  posts that set them  up to be thier  own imaginary hero through thier  commenters comments  , when everyday the face they see is that of a clown .

Do people really believe that for the &quot; movement &quot;if you are not brown you are treated as whites , and if you are brown you are treated worse than whites ...  That is a white supremist agenda , divide and conquer .  Isn&#039;t that what helped perpetuate the tragic mulatto ?  Is one saying that the field negro had it worse than the house negro ? Are you saying physical abuse is worse than mental abuse , when both are simply abuse!! 

I think at that stage one becomes confused , to much thinking and not enough experimenting , living life !!!  All the power is within each of us to do what ever we wish to do , the only thing that holds us back is fear , and living through other people .  I agree if you want to love us, you have to try , you can&#039;t seperate us because we do not fit into your mold !  You can&#039;t love us if you have to hate some of our choices without walking in our shoes that  we wore when we made these choices !!!!!

I agree share the luv , there is room for everyone of us involved in our struggle .]]></description>
