Black America within but without White America
Seeing President Clinton give his farewell address last night was a crude reminder that a great change is ever so near and once again feer consumed me.
Since Nov. 7th, my emotions have been tossed back and forth like a ship on troubled waters watching florida go from red to blue and back again. For weeks I held on to a glimmer of hope only to have my worst fears confirmed... George W. Bush would indeed be "S"elected president of the United States. Just as I began to come to terms with the news, he pulls the Ashcroft card and revives my initial fears.
Well people, Im tired of it!!!! Im tired of living in fear and feeling like my livelyhood and the livelyhood of my people depends on whether or not white republicans or white democrats (whichever is the lesser of two evils) are running the show.
My question to you is this:
Why can't African-Americans create a Black America within but without white America.
What ever happend to Black Wall Street; where blacks owend d**n near everything in town? Bus stations, Airports, Banks, Schools, and clubs were all owned and supported by blacks as well as those whites that were in need of their services.
What is keeping us from having this again?
What are your thoughts?
