Are there any plans for a new National Black outreach group?
What are the most popular/effective ones?
What are the most popular/effective ones?
but it has to start from higher up,setting an example is key, would you rather put money into a black business where the owner can then branch out n start other chains in neighborhoods where available vacancies are not at a high or would you rather keep going to a "tesco" (which is a british company ) that tried to join the US market but failed and havoc withing the working industry(letting people go) ultimately taking your money back overseas....Same thread gets made every week..all this talk is frivolous...actually do something in real life cuz all I see is the same talk about what people should do on this site

The political atmosphere in the United States during the time of the book's publication was particularly contentious as civil rights, women’s rights, andgay rights movements became visible in the public sphere. Tim Reid, whose company helped to release Spook on DVD, said to the Los Angeles Timesin 2004: "When you look back at the times...Martin Luther King was assassinated, Malcolm X, Bobby Kennedy. Black people were really angry and frustrated; we were tired of seeing our leaders killed. What do we do? Do we have a revolution? There is nothing that comes close to this movie in terms of black radicalism."[8] Reid notes how Spook served as a reactionary piece in the way that it addressed the feelings of black people during the late 1960s and early '70s. Soon after its release, with the facilitation of F.B.I. suppression, the film was removed from theaters as a result of its politically controversial message.
Nina Metz wrote in the Chicago Tribune: "For years it was only available on bootleg video. In 2004, the actor Tim Reid tracked down a remaining negative stored in a vault under a different name ("When they want to lose something, they lose it," Reid told the Tribune at the time) and released it on DVD."[9] In a 2004 feature for NPR, Karen Bates reported that the director of the film, Ivan Dixon, admitted that United Artists would not show the film in a way that would allow its political message to come through when clips were viewed prior to the film’s public release. “Dixon says when United Artists screened the finished product and saw a Panavision version of political Armageddon, they were stunned”.[10] Perhaps it is a testament to the powerful message of the film that it was deemed potentially too influential, as if the film would encourage black people to militantly rebel against the white power structure.
