You've achieved your goal. This is a fundamental undertaking, and forming the AfroSpear network is something that has allowed people of color to have a network of voices to get lost in. That is an imperative these days, in this "post racial" nation. I have a blog called The Cool Objectivist, http://coolobjectivist.wordpress.com, and I have added AfroSpear to my blogroll.

I started the channel out of growing tired of BET's "gangsta" images portrayed on TV and TV One's poor slate of original programming. So, on June 29, 2008, I launched the channel and we aired nothing but reruns, but now, we are beginning to move into original programming. True Black Television airs many black sitcoms from the late 1980s to more recent sitcoms, such as "The Game" and "Everybody Hates Chris." However, we also air original programs, such as the animated sitcom, "Living Lavish," and the first black soap opera, "Agape." Also, in the near future, we want to begin a news program that covers things from a black perspective. Viewership in the channel is fairly high, and I think that your site would benefit if you were to embed True Black Television into your site, so that some of your readers could watch the channel to see what its about. http://www.mogulus.com/trueblacktv If you want to let me know of your decision, e-mail me: tevan.savage@yahoo.com Hi, I have contacted you for your support of my internet television network, True Black Television.

No different than WWII when blacks as well as whites fought to save the world from the evil outcome of allowing Hitler to conquer the world, Americans now face the same challenges from Islamic dictatorship mentality, and the facility of self sacrifice, now Constitutional individualism rooted in civil rights that she has struggled so long to recognize. That Obama is black shows that America is beyond racism, and recognizes the much larger enemy out to steal our independence and autonomy. In soliciting the black population in this ever present "present danger," America was not prepared for the impact of outsourcing jobs to a demographic of people who value country over life rather than life over country. Obviously to extricate ourselves from these prior bad choices, Obama must help to lead the charge back toward an America that dignifies life through individualism and respect for each other. If he doesn't, America will be lost forever to the Big Business and Global government that would make slaves of every American, not just its blacks, or Asians. Call it poetic justice, or mere coincidence, but who knew that America could be placed in this situation where fighting for survival meant wholesale civil rights by not sacrificing its finances through outsourcing to a world who cares much about American money, but not much about American people. If blacks are not a part of the solution, they will be a part of the problem. And the same goes for whites.
