How about the issues we voted on recently that we thought were important to the community? I bumped the thread so that maybe some of the newer members could vote!
 Finding ways to build a strong community economic base BLACK by NATURE, PROUD by CHOICE. Before there was ANY history, there was BLACK history. |

I'd also like to hear a representative from 100 Black Men interviewed, if possible!

The MC known as Paris - I would love to hear him elaborate on the op-ed you posted.

"The Black Church" can't generate any callers? How does that work?
 Seriously - we're certainly still playing with the formula - how deeply to go into topics, whether to be more topical or to perhaps pick just one topic to discuss the entire show, whether to have guest interviews versus just the dialog between Joe and me. Again - any feedback you may have is most appreciated. I am committed to trying to make this something of value to you. I need your help though.  |

I think John McWhorter might be willing to be interviewed. I would love to grill him!
Do you know he is actually a linguist? How the heck does he get away with "social commentary" When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak Audre Lord |

John McWhorter is a linguist?? Then he knows the truth about our people and our history and he still makes the kinds of comments he does?!
 I would love to hear a discussion about black history and how much of it we don't know. Since I brought up this thing about a linguist maybe you can grab up one of these Ph.D linguists from a local university because they know a LOT about African history. We had one down here at University of Houston. But this white woman knows about our history and how much of it is omitted just from studying language. I'll get her name for you and post it on the board later today. Our people have made the mistake of confusing the methods with the objectives. As long as we agree on objectives, we should never fall out with each other just because we believe in different methods, or tactics, or strategy. We have to keep in mind at all times that we are not fighting for separation. We are fighting for recognition as free humans in this society Malcolm X, 1965 |

That'll be cool. I wouldn't mind being the Ebert or the Roeper, if you don't mind, RR. "There are two things that are infinite, human stupidity and the universe...and I'm not too sure about the universe." --Albert Einstein |

I still have an obligation to meet for the show, I think. ------------------------------ R.I.F. (Reading IS Fundamental)...

You should interview Andrew Billingsley, author of "Yearning to Breathe Free".

Perhaps you could intersperse some of your interviews with your past 20Q interviews of board members ....

How about an atheist rapper? "Greydon Square is a young Atheist that promotes Rationality through freethought music."
I've listened to a couple of interviews, but I would like hear him field questions from black listeners. He's got some videos posted on youtube, too. *********************************** “It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.†-- James Baldwin |

MBM, do you still need a movie critic? Just ask me what movie critiques that you need, and I'll watch the particular movie (my budget pending) and give my critique.
BTW, today is the 5th anniversary of me signing up at AA.org. "There are two things that are infinite, human stupidity and the universe...and I'm not too sure about the universe." --Albert Einstein |

Topic: The black unemployment rate or access to wealth
Topic: What is Afrocentrism/Afrocentricity? Topic: Can public education be made to work for black children? When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak Audre Lord |
