Serenity and some others,
We are not allowed to do that in amerikkklan... It will never happen. You asked what happened to "Black Wall Street"? "THEY" burned it down because we were making too much. Why did the Talented Tenth families have difficulty conceiving children??? Why was Marcus Garvey's Black to Afrika movement shut down by the NAACP???
We all have to do some research in this issue because there is stuff out there---That is, well, unbelievable.
"THEY" damn sho didn't want the Native Americans to be "self reliant" unless their hand was in it... They are damn sho not gon' let us do it!!!
As far as the other persons of color "making" it in this country: I was thinking about that. If Rosa Parks didn't say no, if MLK didn't start the bus boycott, if, if, if... We are lucky that some of our parents marched in front of German shepards, batons, police in riot gear and hoses so that we would never see a restroom for "whites" only or "colored" drinking fountains... While I spent MLK day working, unfortunately, I had read that MLK was arrested and jailed 39 times!!! Just think if that happened today? He would be unheard of, a whiner, a troublemaker--A CHILD AT RISK...
It seems to me, more and more, that we need to try to reach a spirituality, rooted in our native lands. A spirit that is Afrikan Centered--our cultural asili... Only then will we be redeemed from our mental and quite possibly soon to be-- physical RE-enslavement.
We have no choice but for spiritual re-invention and renewal. I don't know the way, but I have seen the vision. I may not ever live to see it come into fruition, but I know it exists and is immutable...
As long as we continue to strive for parity in a europee-on social contruction, we will always be separated from our true inherited asili...
Y'all need to read Dr. Marimba Ani's, "Yurugu", then you will begin to understand the "nature of white supremacy"...
