THIS IS MY LAST WILL AND TESTIMENT AND I MUST LET THIS PAUL REVERE IN ME GO...

[I must get away for away for a while from all of this petty finghting and bickering in our community while the world/ this country goes to hell in a hand basket...]

Sister Irma,
I value your blogs and imput to BIA and although I know you don't mean that you're leaving the site, I do understand the passion and conviction behind this blog post. The younger generation which is the generation I'm apart of (Generation X & Y) don't necessarily beat to the same drum that Baby Boomers beat to. We have our own thoughts and way of getting our message across which doesn't necessarily make us wrong and Baby Boomer right or vice versa--- all it means is that we see the world differently.

To be honest with you, I haven't been following Western News as much, but have been watching Al Jazeera, RT (Russina Television), and NTA (Nigerian Television Assoc.) to find out what their perspectives are on the recent happenings in the world. I do thank you for updating me on the Becks and the Maddows in Western television. I will google that Beck show you are referring to.

P.S. Has Beck been booted off like Dobbs?!!

Oh, Irma...PLEASE DON'T LOSE HEART!!!!

You have been functioning as our conscience! You have a keen sense of right and wrong and you are not afraid to stare the evil dragons right in the mouth and call them for what they are!

I am with Jen--I do so value your blogs and comments. It would be a personal loss to me if you disappear!!!

Hang in there!!!

About glenn beck and his crowd--yes, they might have their followers. But don't think for a moment that just because they are loud and have a national microphone that he or his folllowers can earn any political power. They are nothing more than ignorant blowhards and bullies. We have to tolerate them. People like them will always be around. But I do not believe they will ever get to control the nation's agenda.

Anyway--KEEP THE FAITH, IRMA!!!

YOU ARE SO LOVED!!!!!

Sister Irma we all need a little encouragement every now and again on this journey called life. ((HUGS))

THANK YOU ONE AND ALL for you concerNs about me...again in N.D. Buddhism(as I have stated before about the 10 Woarlds or states of being that we move to anD fro moment to moment)

Here are the 7th and 8th worlds...

7th World is the World of Learning: In tHis state, wE seek the truth through the teachings or experiences of others.

8th World is the World of Realization: This state is similar to Learning, except that we seek the truth not through others' teachings but through our own direct persceptions of the world.

OH "I" will never not want to be a part of this site...but "I" will for ever resist this site becoming a deadly weapon agaiNSt the Black community As it seems it is going in this direction as of late...or being used to take OUR EYES OF THE PRIZE...

REMEMBER HOW jOHN TRIED TO TurN EBONICS INTO SLANG..THE USE OF THE EXPRESSIONS OF CALLING EACH OTHER BROTHER AND SISTER IS EBONICS...and yet it is now used so much it is not even seen as a part of our culture that we brought with us from Africa...A UNIFING FACTOR IN OUR SURVIVAL IN AMERICA...

Respect for our elders especially the female is being taugh out of us, something we brought from Africa...and a major part of our survival in America or pasdsing on our oral history from one generation to the other..today we trun to the CNN specials for this...

By using us to turn against Rev. J. Wright, we are rejecting the very foundation of the Black church in keeping us in our race unified in our actual history...and yet he we have helped our president to be replaced in our Black churches by Hillary and Bill (who was so bored he fell assleep)...shame on us for our leading the charge against the very things we have asways used to survive in America...The Black churchs teaching unity by our over coming the Hillarys and the Bill and Little Rock in putting up that solied wall agaist ntergration..which is no difference in resisting our president in bring down that White Only sign on the Whitehouse(wher "I" stand in this cry for this country to return to where it was)

#NOTE,

and, by the way where the out cry when our president was being called a marxis for attend the church of his choice for 25 years...now this really gets more, so than is being called an illegal alien and all of those other choice names...where were we then...where were the light skinned reporters...where was the ALL blackk audences and Black youth special guest youths on the Glenn Beck program...the Black leaders..the Black community!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OUR PRIDE IN OUR OWN SKIN COLOR AND OUR BEING A PROUD UNIFIED Race FAMILY OF ThIS RACE CALLED AFRICAN-AMERICAN therefore I shall repeat," I SAW THE ENEMY AND IT WAS US".("I" am not smiling nor will "I" run away from the truth and nothing but the truth, "I" am just going to let it go for a while)


Thank you Jen for that wonderful and heartfelt blog you made in my name..what reassurance that this 60s fights were not in vain ..Dr. ML King lives is all that my generation means when we keep saying ," I never tough I would live to see this day"(smile)

PASS THIS ON MY CHILDREN, PASS THIS ON...YES WE CAN...YES WE MUST...
