Most Black Organizations Excluded From President Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper Initiative

Mad people pretty much expected this. An organization meant to benefit minorities where no minorities qualify. Watch all the money go to cacs.

Last time I checked, white women; gay and handicapped white guys are minorities

!00% agreement here. Local elections are crucial to the state of the black masses. That is where the entire oppression can begin to unravel.

Politics are a waste of time for black people, unless we have politicians who will fight for your agenda in exchange of being financially backed by blacks.

"A rule for eligibility requires “national organizations defined as having active chapters or sub awardees in at least 45 states.” This rule excludes most black organizations, many of which see no reason to have chapters in many mostly white states. The only organization that might meet the 45 state requirement is the NAACP, but the rule effectively excludes most black organizations."

Well that seems to be the reason.
Black americans have to adopt and understand the phrase "have all your bases covered". Seems like the ball was dropped and now they are complaining about it.

Wouldn't this be an oppourtunity to come together and create joint organizations in those 45 states that meet the “requirements" and re-apply.

I called this when the thread was made a while back...its not about the announcement, its about the follow through, which the federal government DOES NOT have any decent track record of in history...you are what you repeatedly do :flabbynsickfrancis:

I knew it was a catch...I knew it

Tariq Nasheed literally said that this EXACT THING WILL HAPPEN.

Its in one of his Sunday shows...dude said..."Most of the money will got white organizations", don't go for the 'minority' trick. Minority does NOT mean black.

1. "Tariq Nasheed said..."
2. Sunday show

I just hope dude is being responsible with ya'll.

Not sure what you are saying...
I quoted Tariq so I used his name. I mentioned Sunday because he has two podcasts and I specified which podcast had this discussion in case someone wanted to go back and check it out.

Anyway...if you are unclear on what I am talking about...I am referring to a show where he mentioned this program and how black people were celebrating as if this was some victory. He basically was saying that if history serves as any type of precursor then most of this money will go to non-blacks...don't be fooled because they labeled it a "minority program".

No, I'm troubled by how many times I read "Tariq Nasheed said...", then, I think about the ideas a lot of the same guys share.

I've listened to a bit of his stuff--nothing moved me much.

But, if he really got ya'll (maybe not you, but, a lot his coli following, I think it's shame.

I just hope he's not the source of this goofy, cynical, self-centered mentality most black posters, have, on here.

why is it a shame for people to value his opinion on something? He's not telling anyone to do anything illegal or immoral and is discussing black topics with black people.
