Great post, except the bolded.

I'm glad someone pointed that out as I said it for a reason. Those things I identified have been taken place for centuries with no end in sight. Why? You get a couple of protests here and there but nothing concrete is done for our children's future. It's like we've become immune to the abuse and injustice. Until we unite to break the chains of White Supremacy, we're just dealing with it or tolerating it.

There's appearing immune and there's just recognizing things are better.

Yes, Mike Brown, John Crawford and Trayvon Martin happened, but, there was a time in this country we'd be lynched with impunity.

It's hard to look at it that way, but, there's always being mindful that our elders didn't fight for nothing.

I've come to the conclusion many years ago that anything positive for the Black community will get shut down. Whether it's self-reliance through our own businesses/dollars (Black Wall street, etc) down to the protection and thriving of our actual community (ie Black Panther Party). Besides being infiltrated from all fronts, there are many of us with Black skin that will do anything possible to stop any movement and advancement. But unlike during the Civil Rights Era, agents don't have to join up with any Civil Rights leader or organization. They can spread their WS rhetoric online with the assistance of social media.

When the main focus should be about how can "We" as a people improve our situation, the majority unfortunately focus on the negatives. The constant tactics to declare someone a fraud, use their personal matters to attack them, attack their character is at an all time high. I ask this question - who is the real enemy? If we used the same energy to tear each other down, to unite and build our people up and our economic structure up, we would already have a school by now....fukk it, we would have schools, banks, hospitals and much more. But reality is, we ain't got shyt. We're just a bunch of consumers rather than owners.

So instead of attacking a person who is trying make a difference, each person should hold themselves accountable because like someone else said in this thread, we don't need leaders. That person is correct. We need a unified front of Black people who are tired of their current situation to make a difference. Why should I rely on a White or Jewish bank for a loan? Why should I worry about changing my first name on my resume to even be considered for a job that I'm qualified for? Why don't the owners in my hood look like me? Shouldn't we have our own? Evidently Blacks ain't tired enough of where we are in this country because we'd be on some "talk less, do more" situation. But for some reason AAs keep tolerating: police brutality, economic disparity, lack of education funding in poor areas, discrimination, etc but still find the time to complain about individuals who're trying to lay down the groundwork for some progress. I ask the question again, who is the real enemy?



:mjcry: Dropping nothing but knowledge.



Sooooooooo many crabs just waiting to pull down the next man.....just look at this topic. :scust: This man is out here trying to start a school to at least get some of the kids on the right path but watch these black crabs work over time trying to discredit this guy. :what:

Or, some of us just could have enough insight to spot a hustle.... :yeshrug: Let's play a game...... Who on this forum really knows what is entailed to get a school of the program...... Hell, we didn't even know the school would be private until now... Does anyone have any idea? :sas1:

Like I said, this is year 3.

He is on Breakfast Club, MTV and Bravo so he should get the money so if people are still discussing this years from now :francis:

Well, as somebody who works in the school. It's embarassing for special ed. or exceptional (that's the new p.c. for special ed.) kids to have a separate resource teacher. Everybody knows you're different, that you struggle with English or Math. Which leads to behavioral problem which leads to the kids getting kicked out of the classroom.
