If you can't even get people motivated about what you have to say, then you need to fall right back in with the crowd because I don't know what kind of political luck you think you'll have. I'm not going to mindlessly fall in line like a droid for the sake of (faux) unity.

As Pro-Black, Pro-Africa and Pan-African as I am, this "The White man is only a few thousand years old and is really just another group of Black people" stuff is never going to fly. Nor does it add any credibility to Black Consciousness. It makes us look like pseudo-scientific kooks.

Yes, Blacks were the first modern Humans (as far as we know with current scientific knowledge), but we were not responsible for every ancient human development, nor were we known worldwide.

This sort of naivness she had was cute and innocent, I felt inclined to preserve and protect that. So I guess one way a man 'falls' in love is because he feels needed. Women know how to 'lift' a man up and make him feel useful. Maybe it's encoded in them.

And although memories still anger me today, in Truth it only makes me stronger because I realize the nature of Who and What I am inside. I am a Wise, Beautiful Black Woman and the word "Nigger" doesn't own me.

The great irony:

Insofar as men disproportionately hold positions of power and influence, all too frequently men are given the power to decide life or death.

Women, on the other hand, who are the source of all life, are now being threatened with the loss of this power in the one domain in which they've been able to exercise it: that of their own bodies. Men are expanding the sphere of power in which they decide life or death to the very source of life.

personally I do not think that if men left the positions they worked hard to create...... we would fare better..... we would live in a world with weak men.....

as always.... if there are problems that we see within one another's actions.... simply call one another on it..... one does not have to alter their natural inclinations.....

ebb and flow.... yin and yang.... we all have our moment of glory.... and our moment of silence....

I think while there will always be much to do - based upon where we've come from - including about 400 years here where we were considered to be wild animals - I think we are doing just great! I think there is certainly focused and dedicated work that we must do in ALL corners of our community, but I think against the tide of white supremacy that we constantly struggle against - I think our achievement and position is quite remarkable and worthy of praise. We can always do better, but I think it is critically important to recognize the many bright spots in our community that demonstrate what we can achieve - against crushing obstacles!

I am truly proud of Africa America.

The only people Condoleeza Rice has shown any evidence of loving and serving are the Republican Party - the Bush family in particular ... truth be told, that was the REAL qualification that landed her the job as Secretary of State: she's an unquestioning Bush loyalist - much moreso than Colin Powell who committed the sin of occasionally disagreeing with King W.

My Father taught me that each partner has a role and in their role they are the authority if you disagree state your case, but if they don't go along bow to their authority.

Next he taught never marry a woman you don't want to chase around the kitchen table. He also taught that women and men are equal and you must respect your woman's mind and her mental process, even if it differs from yours. Different is not less, just different.

Lastly he said honor your marriage above all else. If you are married that must be the first thing in your life or you're not really married. He said "honor your wife as the first infinite cause of all the good in your life and approach her sexually like you are going to the altar of the divinities".
