But that was due to the bwana or melanin-deficient, though we dont agree with most of what the hueman next to you said (because mostly through all of those inventions we as in the melanin efficient were the ones doing the work and in some instances coming up with the designs) it is important to note that you can not excel nor conquer without innovation. Innovation is how we lost in the realm of weaponry which lead to our enslavement physically and mentally. Innovation will get us out of it.

For instance, we have all of the resources so why not make our computers with more gold and a higher grade of gold. We can spare that expense other continents can not. We need to start doing for self.

“I have learnt not to take those who identify themselves as black conservative or black progressives seriously. They both criticize and demonize other blacks who do not adhere to their form of political (mental) slavery.”

@ Ana – this is my sentiment as well

“Because this is a fight that has to be fought effectively on so many fronts, and one can practically say that it appears to have been to lost, what I recommend is that every conscious person fights the battle they believe to be a top priority.”

Peace!

I have learnt not to take those who identify themselves as black conservative or black progressives seriously. They both criticize and demonize other blacks who do not adhere to their form of political (mental) slavery.

That being said, I have taken a more sympathetic stance than the first choice I advocate. I believe more in nurturing and ministering to the needs of our less fortunate brothers and sisters: Matthew 25: 31-46… however there are some we still need to let go of, instead of coddling and making excuses for them.

I still strongly advocate not getting caught up in other groups issues to our own detriment.

I think we have already seen this going on with many black women bloggers .

Conscious black men need to wage theirs also.

I read the essay, Certain Signs of Societal Decline by Deneen Borelli of Project 21 and although I recognize some truth in it, I know very well not to take black conservatives seriously.
Black conervatives only criticize blacks and liberal whites who misbehave. Black conservartives are afraid to tackle the root of the problem.

This society was never a principled one from its very beginning; it has always consisted of greedy people pushing their agendas and nasty ways, people who are always ready and eager to spout a a bunch of lies, not even they believed.
What is happeing now is that the venom is all over and there is no end in sight to the madness.

Since the conscious and sensitive minds(los guerreros) will be with us forever and never disappear, as I have said before, those who fall into this category should find a conflict or contradiction they find preplexing or annoying and Wage their own war.

At this time in my life, after reading several perspectives in this vein, I have come to be able to adhere to the basic tenets of your thought process here. Having some understanding that we are truly a global people, understanding that there will always be someone still taking care of the weak and infermed. There will always be those that will have to maintain some form of Rainbow Coalition. And, still those that will continue to educate the “uneducated.” That is good.

Now, I am more willing to understand and accept that harsh times may create a harsh perspective.

Peace!

“…well let me suggest that we employ the mindset of the Spartans…. as seen in the movie “300”. Let’s have a real revolution of thought and practice. Let us create a community of Black/African men and women who from birth are trained to be warriors, and by this I mean have a warrior mentality where their only… I repeat and emphasize, ONLY commitment is to this community.

I contend that ONLY by this type of revolution, can we even START to develop a strong and progressive Black/African community. Purification of community values. Single-mindedness of community purpose. Revolution of community focus.”

A harsh perspective at the time.

We have all heard them or have had the opportunity to hear them, read them, see their videos, and there remains a segment of the black population that, IMHO want to remain where they are. I say let them stay there. Let them languish. Let them continue to be where they are because this is where they want to be. Stop helping people that appear to not want to help themselves. I say if people want to help others, go to the vocational schools, community colleges, and other areas of higher learning and support students that may be struggling to pay tuituon, struggling to buy books or scrambling for money to get to class. Assist the people who have finished high school, or taken steps to get their GED and assist them in gaining employment. We have to stop coddling those that choose to lay in their own lack.

Peace!

However, I don’t agree with Walter concerning we being lazy. It’s moret than that. Maybe a sense of entitlement that we hold from colonialism and jum cro. m
