I believe God sent Dr. King to this earth for that purpose! Where is the man? Where is the man that has been called for a new purpose; the purpose of leading marches, bearing picket signs, speaking to the evil and dangerous environments of our communities; calling for basic decency. Is he refusing his purpose? Because today, our enemy looks like us. read my full blog http://wwwtheblogking.blogspot.com/2010/08...

Where is the man? Where is the young man that will take on the problems we face today from our own? Where is the man that will tell this generation to STOP! I'm urging you , black man, to take your purpose seriously. Yes it will be dangerous, difficult and lonely, but if God has called you, you'll get this done. And though you may die, you'll die for an important reason. Today black men are dying for no movement or revolution, just dying because he stepped on somebody's new sneakers, in a jail cell because of drugs, for s*x because of HIVAids, and in his heart because his father walked away.

THE REASON WHY I POSTED THIS INFO IS TO WAKE UP ''(1) You are deaf (2) dumb and (3) blind... IS TO SHOW THE THE TEACHINGS GO PAST The Most Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan !
let me enlighten you today black men are killing their own people in the streets, killing each others lives with drugs and HIV Aids and killing the souls of babies they just walk away from. Unprepared mothers are raising children that are, too, unprepared for school and for life, seemingly, only prepared for death and despair. This is a sad commentary of our state today. Dr. King would be so disappointed.
our next step GARY, supply ourself with enough info to encourage when you see
We all need this man to come out of the closet, acknowledge our state, stand up, lead the marches, carry the picket signs, call for a new era and lead us out of this determined self hatred. 40 years from now, the country will still celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King and children and grandchildren will be taught about the strength and courage of the "old school" black man, like a fairy tale, because that kind of man will seem like such a dream; so far-fetched.

Keep the the teaching of the Ancients, to those who came before you. Their words are lost in their books. Open them, Read and copy their knowledge, Since only a being who knows how to learn becomes skillful.
Righteousness is fitting for a Pharoah. It is the interior of the household that makes you respect the exterior.
The Pharaonic institution is the perfect way to govern.
He who rules over the Two Lands is a wise man. Master of the nobility, Pharoah cannot be an ignorant man. He was alread wise at his mother's breast, Since God has chosen him from millions of men.
Pharoah is he who increases wealth and knows how to give. Pharoah is the lord of joy. He who rebels against him would pull down Heaven.
All through your earthly life, Accomplish righteousness. Do not oppress the widow, Do not drive a man from the land of his father, Do not hinder the great from fulfilling their duties, Do not punish people unjustly.

.” To move without a plan is to have activity without productivity. Spend time in prayer and ask God for a strategy to make up for lost time. Be sure after you ask, that you take time to stop and listen. He will speak! Believe it or not, God is not just interested in but He is committed to your success. “He who has started a good work in you is faithful to complete it...
” Once you get the strategy, the next step is to MOVE!!! Most people never move because they become paralyzed by the "what ifs". If you live your life stuck on the “what ifs” you will die with a whole lot of “if onlys”. Remember, decision without corresponding action ultimately means you are still stuck in the same place. In order to move you will need strength. That is the fourth key. No one ever promised that the process of progress would be easy. It takes endurance. The bible puts it like this. Let us not be weary in well doing for in due season you will reap if you do not faint. God considers it “well doing” when we make the choice to change course for the better. He gives power to the faint and to them that have no might he increases strength.
The final key to making a comeback is “Stick To It” Many people start in the direction of change but don't go all the way. Here in America, most cars come with a sticker on them that tells the estimated number of miles per gallon the car will get when traveling in the city versus on the highway. The city number is always lower because of the stop and go in the city. It takes more gas to start and stop than it does to simply keep moving. In the case of the car and with us we run out of fuel sooner when we don't keep going. Even if the roads are bumpy and you face a steep uphill climb, stick to it. God has people like me in your corner to remind you that sticking to it insures you won't get stuck again.

Simply put, progress occurs one step at a time. Although that may sound simple, for many, it is easier said than done. Perhaps you wanted to start a business but major money problems got in the way. Whether you made poor financial decisions or you just don't make enough, the dream is not impossible. Perhaps your career aspirations were held up because of an unplanned pregnancy. That in no way means it is impossible. Listen, the difference between success and failure comes when you believe that you can, and you are poised to move when opportunities arise.

It takes effort to enforce this virtue upon our nature, for man are creatures of habit— any deviation thereof is immediately resisted. Discipline is the will to restrict specific urges in order to give way to undesired yet necessary experience. In order to effect change, discipline must be mastered; otherwise all our effort will go in vain. Success requires the discipline of failure; happiness requires the discipline of sadness; inner growth requires the discipline of surrender; wisdom requires the discipline of ignorance; love requires the discipline of sacrifice. By giving-up a part of ones’ self, discipline gains character.

Minister Farrakhan said in a speech In America, human beings have a measure of freedom, but many use this freedom to do evil. Freedom does not give you the right to steal from or misuse others, he continued.
“Freedom is what we all want, but freedom does not mean license,” said Min. Farrakhan. “You have a nature that comes from God and you are free to live within the bounds of your nature.”
He also spoke about the plight of Black people and the damage done by over 400 years of slavery.
“As a people, we have suffered much and as a people we have been the victims of injustice,” said Min. Farrakhan.

the church needs to stop with all its mess im not going to waste rtime listing the things that are wrong with the church this is bigger than that ! i believe in right now ,,,yes right at this moment if we open the doors to the church and allow a place of refuge for the mind ,body and spirit of the black youth , mothers and fathers then we can build on that right now ,,,once the people get there then they can be taught and educated in what has to be done to save the black youth ,,the are so many programs that can be put in motion that will assist the parents in raising there kids right now
stop letting the pastors open the church just on Sunday or bible study night hold the accountable to making a change and if every black church in America will take collective stand then we will see the light at the end of the tunnel ! where is Jessie Jackson when you need him ? i mean his spirit.... because right now he is loosing his mind to !

I highly suggest you watch this video featuring Professor Walter Williams. What is important about this video is that the gentleman interviewing Professor Williams is Minister Clemson Brown of Attorney Alton Maddox's United African Movement based in NYC. Minister Brown has the largest video and audio repository of the finest Black minds in existence (ie.Trans Atlantic Productions). He does not film 'lightweights' as his reputation would be at stake. I suggest you watch the eniire interview. I will be happt to answer any questions once you have done so. I've no doubt you will enjoy Professor Williams as few have researched as intensely as he. You've all been lied to about Christianity, Islam and Judaism (Judaism being the last one to come into existence as is kept secret from all..... Watch the video and listen for yourself. Don't be fooled by his akward speech, his scholarship is impeccable as I own both of his texts and have mastered much of the information.

So.... Where Is The Man??? ..... actually is ((You... David... My Sons)) every black man who exists today... The Man (each black male child) has to be (re-conditioned) taught how to Be a responsible, educated, father, husband, teacher, leader.....
So, what happens when the Black Man has lost his way... Drugs, Prison, Stealing? How can Men become reconditioned when they have no "self knowledge" "awareness" of their greater potential? Are they left alone... and we hope that our young men Get It???

hypocritical tolerance has been going on in the church for years its just more in the main stream African Americans do not even know that they play into and help to reinforce the African American stereotypes . They believe that the African American stereotypes have been imposed upon them and while partly right, they reinforce them through acceptance. For example, some African Americans do not aspire to higher education because they live under the African American stereotypes of being dumb and lazy. It is even more painful to hear children label themselves according to these African American stereotypes.
Let us take a look at some common African American stereotypes . Historically some African American stereotypes labeled African Americans as servile, primitive and simple-minded. These African American stereotypes created negative stigmas for African Americans and since then these African American stereotypes have been upgraded and unfortunately expanded. The current African American stereotypes include criminal, poor, athletic, religious and musically gifted. Though some of these African American stereotypes seem to be positive, it does not make the practice of perpetuating these African American stereotypes right.
African American stereotypes are often times used to mask real issues. For example: it is said that is twice as hard for an African American to get a job, when the fact is that these men are severely marginalized.
Another example: African Americans will complain that the system is set up to prevent black people from attaining certain positions. If they accept these African American stereotypes, how do they explain the current Barrack Obama holding the highest office in America?
African American stereotypes whether positive or negative need to be eradicated. They are cowardice and insufficient ways of looking at African Americans or any other sets of people for that matter. I believe the incidence of African American stereotypes will begin to decrease when African Americans take a greater look at themselves and also reduce the stereotypes they have of others. When one looks into African American stereotypes , he sees how far they have come as a nation but he can equally see how far they still have to go as a people.
Even though African American stereotypes seem to have quite a negative influence upon the young African Americans, African American stereotypes can be used in positive ways to tell historically of where the African Americas are coming from and where they needs to go.

cynthia Emphasize education to your children as much as possible. Set high standards and stop allowing our boys to grow up thinking that it's better to be a great athlete than to be a great scholar. We've all got to play a role in solving this problem and it starts with educating us all.

It's been long understood that black boys are not doing well in the school system. A recent article by the New York Times shows that the situation is worse than previously thought. According to a study by the Council of the Great City Schools, black boys are in horrible shape when it comes to education. The New York Times laid out the following facts:
"Only 12 percent of black fourth-grade boys are proficient in reading, compared with 38 percent of white boys, and only 12 percent of black eighth-grade boys are proficient in math, compared with 44 percent of white boys. Also, young white male students who are in poverty do as well as young black male students who are not in poverty. In high school, African American boys drop out at nearly twice the rate of white boys, and their SAT scores are on average 104 points lower. Only 5 percent of college students in 2008 were black men. At the same time, black men were incarcerated more than any other demographic group -- at 6.5 times the rate of white males."
Obviously, these results are alarming and another sad reminder of the state of affairs for black boys in the school system. If we don't find a way to save our black boys, we will never be able to save our black families. These boys who are not being educated by the school system grow up being unable to compete in our economy for jobs and opportunities. They are then more vulnerable to the mass incarceration problem, which plagues our nation, and are at risk of becoming unfit husbands or fathers.
Most of these boys are being raised by black women. Therefore, it is critically important that every black mother in America make it her duty to help protect and uplift her sons and the sons of others in a world that is designed to destroy them.
Also important is that black men be pressured into remembering the responsibilities that come with being good fathers. Having a pile of baby's mamas and not supporting your kids is unacceptable, and we all need to acknowledge that fact right now.
All the while, the mothers of these children must find more plausible and productive ways to open the door for fathers to be involved with their kids. This means accepting the idea that parenting is a partnership and not a dictatorship, as father's have rights too when it comes to raising their children.
Most of us know of at least one man who wants to be involved with his kids, but his kids are being made unavailable to him or the mother feels she has an overbearing right to dictate every aspect of the father's involvement. Enforced alienation of the other parent is just as bad as flat-out abandonment. Nobody's innocent in all of this.
At the end of the day, we have to take care of our boys as part of the village. That village is a place where our love and attention is critical, and protecting our children in a brutal educational system is an important part of our community's survival. Going to PTA meetings and parent-teacher conferences is a must.

Brotha G-Willi.... you are 200% right when you say.... Women need to put the Kla Klink!! On the sorry male who doesn't have any motivation, sense of self worth, or the common sense to know that he is a King....!!!!! And that God made a covenant with man.....
I'm a sista who knows.... everybody is bringing something to the table.... that is if ya wanna eat!!
______________Religion
I too have been exposed to various religious sects.... I have seen the good and the bad. It is true, some Christian Based religions are more tolerant to man's unjust ways. Personally I see religion as man's conception. I simply believe that there is a Higher Power and that I must live a spiritual, moral and just life - which is pleasing.

15 years ago the Million Man March represented for many an all too rare moment of solidarity among black men from across America. On October 16, 1995, the Million Man March, organized by Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, was held in Washington, D.C. on the National Mall, site of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The goal of the march was to call forth "a million sober, disciplined, committed, dedicated, inspired black men to meet in Washington on a day of atonement."
The all-day affair featured performances and speeches from various community and national leaders, including **** Gregory, Rev. Benjamin Chavis, Rosa Parks, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Maya Angelou, Marion Barry, Dr. Betty Shabazz, Cornel West, Dorothy Height, and Farrakhan himself. Each of the speakers stressed the call for a "day of atonement," a phrase that has since become a second name for the march, emphasizing the desire for black men to abandon destructive behaviors and re-dedicate themselves to being stalwarts and leaders in their communities.
This sentiment was eloquently echoed in the speech of then 14-year-old Ayinde Jean-Baptiste (who went on to become a community organizer and motivational speaker) who said at the time: "You must change today so that tomorrow may dare to be different, and when you have fought back, and regained your pride, when you have won some battles, when you are able to tell the stories of your heroism, when you can pass on to your young the tradition of struggle through examples of your having stood up for a better tomorrow."
At the culmination of the day's events, Farrakhan asked all those in attendance to join him in taking a pledge which included vows to "strive to love my brother as I love myself" and "never again use the 'b-word' to describe any female. But particularly my own black sister."

We must get rid of this slave mentality to free our minds from cognitive blindness, and mental paralysis We must learn to build both our political and economic strength. If we learn to negotiate with society from the position of strength, we will immediately stop thinking we are being targeted for victimization. As long as we continue to deal with society from the position of weakness because of our slave mentality, we may be doomed as a race. We have put in place many miniature programs for economic progress in response to problems in the inner cities. But such efforts are so fragmented across the country, we are not effective. We have never learned to network well together without planning to rip each other off. Like the old African proverb, "If spider webs unite, they can tie a lion." Our fragmented efforts are like small spider webs, easily broken once the wind blows, not even waiting for a storm. Therefore, when we fail at the community level to implement both effective economic and social changes, we start to blame Whites, who have little to do with our failures.
Take the great success of the Million Man March of 1995 in Washington, for example. It was a very good idea and embraced by most Blacks and more Whites than was imagined. The message was for Black males to go back to the inner cities, join hands with the Sisters, and implement changes at the community level. At the implementation stage, it failed across the country because there were no effective forces in place to engineer and establish those changes. A year later, Black kids are still car-jacking and killing other Blacks in their neighborhoods. Many people have become frustrated and given up. So, the Million Man March is reduced to a historic symbol instead of a catalyst for change and horizon of hope.
Our outcry of racism has emotionally crippled us as we continue to suffer from a self-imposed inferiority complex, complacency, and impotence of action. Everybody knows we must develop a strong economic base through networking and being dedicated to successful strategies in business. We must get rid of this slave mentality to free our minds from cognitive blindness, and mental paralysis. These are serious diseases causing lack of progress for Black people.

Through its national media outlets the U.S. Government is using fraudulent propaganda to adversely manipulate and shape the minds and collective perceptions of its Black populations. The constant relentless bombardment with deplorably negative images of themselves that of which African Americans are so inundated with throughout the U.S. media is a deliberately designed psychological conditioning program. It is an insidious, yet very sophisticated method of control that conditions America’s Black population to accept white dominance over their lives by misleading them to believe that they are now themselves their own worst enemies. This is the same psychological warfare technology used by the U.S. Government against foreign adversaries. It was decided to secretly use it to domestically defend the white race’s position of power and dominance against its Black population.

Now that's a good question... His-story.... David pointed out some historical/important black individuals ((**** Gregory, Rev. Benjamin Chavis, Rosa Parks, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Maya Angelou, Marion Barry, Dr. Betty Shabazz, Cornel West, Dorothy Height, and Farrakhan himself))..... BUT one thing to bring to point... Our Oral History is Dying Out!! And their legacy is not recorded in our History Books. I had never heard of •Jack Johnson, •Shirley Chisholm , •Lorraine Hansberry •Adah Belle Samuel Thoms •Amistad..... until college and my reading. I make sure my son looks up at least one important black figure and tell me about him/her....

YOU KILLED OUR KINGS AND RAPE OUR QUEENS
AND SAID WE HAD NO DESIRE TO BE ON TOP
WHILE YOU FLOODED OUR HOUSES WITH CRACK ROCKS !
AND WHEN WE MOVED TO YOUR TOWN
YOU BEAT US DOWN
YOU EXCUSE WAS WE WAS OUT OF BOUNDS
SAID WE DON'T GOT WHAT IT TAKES
WHILE OUR YOUTH TAKES THE WEIGHT
STOLE OUR SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS
SAID WE COULD BE NOTHING BUT GANG BANGERS AND DRUG ADDICTS
KING HAD A DREAM BUT YOU SHOT IT DOWN
MALCOLM X WAS ON A MISSION TO CHANGE OUR CONDITION
BUT THAT HAD TO STOP
WE GOT THE GUNS FROM YOU THAT KILLED BIGGIE AND TOPAC
AND TO KEEP US FROM BEING FREE
YOU MANIPULATED OUR HISTORY
AND NOW THE CHAINS HAVE FALLEN YOU STILL THINK
THOUGH AIDS OUR POPULATION WILL BECOME EX STINK
A NEW STORY IS BEING TOLD
WE WILL RISE UP AND BE EQUAL WE ARE A RISING PEOPLE
MY SISTER IS NO LONGER A HOOD RAT BUT A QUEEN
AND MY BROTHER IS NO LONGER A CRACK FEN BUT A KING
AND TOGETHER WE WILL COMMAND RESPECT THROUGH
THINK TANKS AND DIALECT
AND VIOLENCE WILL BE NO LONGER
AS OUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER GETS STRONGER AND STRONGER
AND IF WE HAVE TO USE FORCE TO GET THIS MESSAGE ACROSS
THEN LET IT BE DONE
ITS ALL OR NOTHING ALL FOR ONE
YOU KNOW WHO IM TALKING TO AND WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT
WATCH YOU BACK WE ARE COMING OUT
OUT OF COLLEGES WITH DOCTORS AND LAW DEGREES
HISTORY MAJORS AND PHD
OF THE WALLS AND THE STREETS
ONLY TO DANCE TO A NEW BEAT
THE SOUND OF UNITY IS LOUD
IN OUR COMMUNITY AND
WE ARE THE RULERS AND THE PEACE MAKERS
AND BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY WE WILL BE FREE
AND TAKE BACK OUR STOLEN HISTORY !

Hello to All,
It baffles me that you all would be arguing with each other about who is the MAN that would permanently fix Black America’s problems. I am that man. I am Black America’s first genuine prophet. I am away, and besides me, there is no other way that Black Americans could ever become a real people in this world.
I have said that our only permanent solution is that we must desire to become a sovereign people on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders to worship God, pursue life, liberty, happiness and prosperity in our own way.
Neither the Christian nor the Islamic religion or politics or White America educating Black Americans will permanently fix Black America’s 500 year old problems!
To be sovereign Black Americans must first have their own and everything new. For instance, our religion must be new. We cannot have a religion that another people have already. Mr. Farrakhan has the religion of Islam when that religion was already assigned to the Arabian people by God. Needless to say that Dr. King was not the MAN Black Americans have been looking for since Dr. King’s religion was Christianity and was inspired by Prophet Mahatma Gandhi and not God. Consequentially, Mr. Farrakhan and Dr. King cannot be that MAN. Black America’s religion is named LIFE and our religious book is forthcoming that is equivalent to the Bible and Quran.
Secondly, Black Americans must have our own prophet. Prophet Mohammed was assigned to the Arabian people by God and Mr. Farrakhan follows Prophet Mohammed. Our prophet must be one of us. Prophet Mohammed was one of the Arabian people. I am wiser than Mr. Elijah Muhammad was and Mr. Farrakhan is.
It is from our genuine prophet that God would work through as God worked through Moses. You will know your prophet because he will present nothing to all you that belong to one another people. Am I making any sense?
Everything that I say is going to happen. No one has came forward to say that I was wrong.
Tell me what you think.

Harry... Harry... Harry... ((Dr. King’s religion was Christianity and was inspired by Prophet Mahatma Gandhi and not God))... SERIOUSLY... A mind is a terrible thing to waste.... and we all know you have lost yours!! Philosophy 101/Theology 101.1
***
While at seminary King became acquainted with Mohandas Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolent social protest.
Philosophy may be defined as ((Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.))
Dr. King was already in Seminary (( A school, especially a theological school for the training of priests, ministers, or rabbis))
your premis is unfactual.... Dr. King was in fact inspired by a higher calling!!! No man calls another man to Preach!!! Too Early in the morning to show your ignorance....
Hooked on Phonics really works.... Read... with Understanding.... YOU MAY BE Able to find at least one person to Follow You.... but as it goes... You are a weak, stupind, jackazz!!!

Hello Clark,
You said this, " Obama…said, WE are the ones we've been waiting for."
It is not logical that Black Americans could have been waiting on themselves since our problems are greater than our strength is mentally and physically. If what you're saying is logical I would suppose that God was stupid to have sent Moses to the children of Israel since all that the children of Israel ever had to do was to wait on themselves. Mr. Clark I believe that you have more intelligence than that.
Other people's experiences you ought to learning from them, am I right. In other words, Black Americans are no different than the children of Israel were. Now, since God sent Moses to the children of Israel how it is you could think that we don't need God? Clark Black Americans need more than our selves. Black Americans needs the help of God. Black Americans presently have the help of God. I am evidence that Black Americans presently have the help of God. I am Black America's first genuine prophet.
What say you?

Beginning of the teaching for life, the instruction for well being, every rule for relations with elders, for conduct towards magistrates; knowing how to answer to one who speaks, to reply to one who sends a message. So as to direct him on the paths of life, to make him prosper upon earth; to let his heart enter his shrine, steering clear of evil.

Beware of robbing a wretch, of attacking a cripple; don't stretch your hand out to touch an old man, nor open your mouth to an elder. Don't let yourself be sent on a mischievous errand, nor be as friends with one who does it. Don't raise an outcry against one who attacks you, nor answer him yourself. He who does evil, the shore rejects him, its floodwaters carry him away. The north wind descends to end his hour, it mingles with the thunderstorm, the storm clouds thunder, the crocodiles are vicious, You Heated Man, how are you now

. Do not befriend the heated man, nor approach him in conversation. Swift is the speech of one who is angered, more than wind over water. He tears down, he builds up with his tongue, when he makes his hurtfull speech.

Only 12 percent of black fourth-grade boys are proficient in reading, compared with 38 percent of white boys, and only 12 percent of black eighth-grade boys are proficient in math, compared with 44 percent of white boys. Also, young white male students who are in poverty do as well as young black male students who are not in poverty. In high school, African American boys drop out at nearly twice the rate of white boys, and their SAT scores are on average 104 points lower. Only 5 percent of college students in 2008 were black men. At the same time, black men were incarcerated more than any other demographic group -- at 6.5 times the rate of white males."

If all of these so called leaders that everyone is talking about came to the fore fronts and put themselves on the line instead of having their own agenda, things would drastically change. Instead you see youtube teachings and everything is behind the scenes. This does not get to our children. My child is not going to turn on you tube and watch, Dr. Charles Finch or John Henrik Clarke or Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop. They are tuning into BET. I see a few people out there who keep their names known. Minister Farrahkan of course, Reverend Sharpton and Bishop TD Jakes. Lectures at colleges do not talk to the hood. Its usually too late by then. They’ve already been brainwashed. I remember back in the day, where you would walk the streets and every corner there was a brother speaking, but no more, including Dr. York aka AS SAYYID ISA AL HAADI AL MAHDI . They’re now in hiding or have their own agenda and that’s the shame of it all. There needs to be a call to arms to our leaders to wake up, get off their flesh and do what it is they were called to do. (That’s just my opinion)

Black Consciousness is an attitude of the mind and a way of life, the most positive call to emanate from the black world for a long time. Its essence is the realisation by the black man of the need to rally together with his brothers around the cause of their oppression - the blackness of their skin - and to operate as a group to rid themselves of the shackles that bind them to perpetual servitude."
"We do not want to be reminded that it is we, the indigenous people, who are poor and exploited in the land of our birth. These are concepts which the Black Consciousness approach wishes to eradicate from the black man's mind before our society is driven to chaos by irresponsible people from Coca-cola and hamburger cultural backgrounds."

Each of us on some level tries to elevate ourselves to a new height, a higher standing, a better way of being. Unfortunately, that is why we don't get where we want to be, because we are trying to do it. The power is right where we are. The power is the essence of all that is good. The power is divine. When we believe in the power and seek to make conscious contact with it the power, not the self, will bring into our lives the very things we are struggling to do. The power will operate in all of our affairs, going before us to prepare our path. The power wants joy, peace, perfect health, abundant wealth and loving relationships for us. The power is the living spirit within buried beneath the personality, ego, perceptions, fears and doubts. The power is the truth of who we are. The power is available; all we have to do is invite it forward and move out of the way.
Today, I Am one with the living spirit who
will do the work through me and for me ..

OK lets get some info that with
help our [people !
Ensuring role model presence. In addition to increasing the number of Black male educators, strategies must be aimed at compensating for role model absence in the school setting. Educational advocates, therefore, should help school personnel: (1) find ways to ensure the inclusion of Black males in classroom activities as tutors, educational assistants, storytellers, "room fathers," and field trip escorts; (2) find ways to encourage the participation of Black males in Parent-Teacher Associations and other school organizations; and (3) acknowledge the importance of non-educational personnel (e.g., Black male custodians and lunchroom staff) as valid mentors/role models and find ways to use them in the educational process wherever possible.

there are meeting taking place in WASHINGTON they are trying to get the job done and fix the education system Plan of Action
In a plan of action at the conclusion of the report, the Council calls for a White
House conference on the issues to help lay out a comprehensive plan of action that
leaders at all levels can pursue. The organization also aims to marshal the help of school
district, state, national and university leaders, as well as civic and faithbased
leaders and
governmental officials to address blackmale
issues.
"We plan to convene a panel of esteemed leaders, which would provide advice
and guidance to the Council on the formation of strategies for improvement," says the
Great City Schools leader Casserly.
"The nation’s urban public schools see this issue as national in scale, but is eager
to take the lead on addressing these challenges because of the large numbers of black
male young people who live and attend schools in our major cities,” he explains.
"We are not interested in reflecting and perpetuating society’s larger inequities;
instead, we are committed to overcoming them.”
do you have any real ideals that can help the real black man find himself ???

The report is produced by the Washington, D.C.-based Council of the Great City Schools, a coalition of 66 of the nation's largest urban public school systems. One superintendent and one school board member from each member city sits on the Council's board.

One of the most important things we as a people must bring forth is
You Must Learn to Love Yourself! I am not trying to get into anyone's
Kool-Aid, but I have found over the years that some of the most
beautiful people that one has ever seen physically, and spiritually
amazingly feel that they are ugly, or less than. Negative self images
permeate nearly every cross section of individuals that one can think
of. Why is it so hard to love yourself? In creation, there has never
been another you! Many of you are walking and talking which places you
light years ahead of those in the local cemetery. I think that it is
imperative that one learns to love oneself before one can appropriately
love others! You are not that bad, I totally believe in you! God values
you! It's a funny thing that sometimes one feels like others are
laughing at him or her, and all the while others are admiring you from
afar! Learn to love yourself, because there will never ever be another
you! It is what it is! If you have freckles, believe that those are the
most beautiful freckles that have ever been seen. If you are packing
extra weight, say to yourself that God has physically blessed me with
abundance! You are worth loving no matter what your circumstances are!
God loves you! Isn't that reason enough to find the boldness to love
yourself? God isn't a fool, and God doesn't lend himself to great
expectations where he hasn't first place great deposits!

Stay in contact with your local state and federal politicians you voted for and make double sure they are working for you...but know that your schools are a part of your LOCAL community so even if you are not in school you still are responsiable for what, no for all that does or does not happen in your community. That is what we do where I live and I don't allow any layiing down on teh jobs related to the safety, security for our children and their children and their children's children. LOL(smile)
