One, bl...This is interesting stuff. Two thoughts.<br /><br />One, black America, in particular its elites, once did a better job of instilling basic values of social responsibility into young people. Look at those early civil rights protesters: dignified, well groomed, polite, and capable of bringing great shame on their crude oppressors. I think the 60s unleashed a great deal of disorder, alienation, and the like on all of American society and black America was more vulnerable to the rot it causes, whether it was the anti-authority stuff or the sexual revolution or whatever.<br /><br />Until black leaders stop talking out of both sides of their mouth and pretending the KKK is on the brink of taking power and recognize that racism is mostly a non-factor and black problems today are mostly moral and cultural and spiritual and require a spiritual reawakening and a culture of discipline and civic mindedness, then I think things won't get better.Mansizedtarget.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771297143097475580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560439070709193509.post-51783378055353713192009-07-24T00:11:36.672-05:002009-07-24T00:11:36.672-05:00I have it on DVR but I haven't stopped to watc...I have it on DVR but I haven't stopped to watch it maybe this weekend. The barbershop doctors was something you brought up as historically having similar origins. <br /><br />I glanced at BIA2 but heard some woman singing gospel and turned back to NFL Live.FreeMannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560439070709193509.post-32156740512617010692009-07-23T23:42:46.655-05:002009-07-23T23:42:46.655-05:00@ FreeMan - Okay.

On the other hand the ones with direction usually lack patience when people struggle to do what's obvious. The answer lies in the person who can steer people to a certain end and let them realize it for themselves.<br /><br />Key to all of this is education from both sides the ignorant and the informed. For the ignorant its to seek it and for the informed is to be humbled by it. Until those two come into being we will always have fights over very petty things that will naturally disappear while undertaking growth and maturity.FreeMannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560439070709193509.post-21175156228696760222009-07-23T00:22:38.480-05:002009-07-23T00:22:38.480-05:00@ FreeMan - Yep, that's the point.
Our shared ...@ FreeMan - Yep, that's the point.<br />Our shared consciousness evolves.<br />For some - it's still in the developmental stages.<br />For others - full-blown success.<br />But it's the fracturing of the whole into light/dark, rich/poor, educated/undereducated, et.al. that diminishes the value of our combined contributions.<br /><br />Like Spike said in School Daze - we need to "Wake Up".uglyblackjohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404995571276457138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560439070709193509.post-59622119720961123642009-07-22T23:34:05.756-05:002009-07-22T23:34:05.756-05:00I feel challenged!

FreeM...I feel challenged! Is this a challenge? LOL<br /><br />FreeMan Jr. will stay in his lane and contribute in the way he knows how. But unlike the bougie who usually are condescending and assimilate he will have a father who showed him how to stand on his own two and not see success as standing next to the majority but see success as a God given right despite the majority.<br /><br />I just think we dont' agree on the focus. Black excellence is desired by myself too but I want to channel that success into our betterment not into competing with others that don't matter. If we are family then what the family knows, builds and shares improves the family. While the current way is to prove that we can run track, emulate, and be accepted by a group in their world and on their views. This is why I argue against the focus that is put out there because instead of teaching to band together they teach to work twice as hard to get half as far. They teach to assimilate instead of dominate.<br /><br />Everything you say I understand it's just I don't always agree. I see your angle as what's right absent the current situation we are in. It's not wrong at all as I think even my own views if implemented will evolve into what you advocate. I just think at this point it's what's right when we have completed doing what's right for ourselves.FreeMannoreply@blogger.com
