RE: THE NAACP CONDEMS THE TEAPARTY...AND SIEBRA'S VIDEOS OF THE INTERVIEWS OF THE NEW BLACK PANTHERS...

I took a look at the videos that were posted and thought to myself, "wow there is some serious anger going on here! I saw the man dressed as a Black Panther making statements that cames from a place of hurt inside that has no return. I' m glad that they didn't arrest him on the scene, because it would have caused some serious chaos. His outcry is saying" if you don't show me some love and respect, I'm about to set this thing off". I think that it's time that Black people look at our tenure in this country as improving at a more rapid pace. We need to start believing that slavery is not a race, it is a condition of circumstances that we have suffered.

I guest I know what it's like to not be involved, because my family never was a member of any Black organization. I think that it was more because of not being able to trust others, because I did learn about the backstabbers, people that will get you expressing your views and opinion on issues in order to report and cause problems. My father, who never talked about slavery when we were children, decided to express some of his feelings one day. I felt mad at him because he kept saying that Black people love to tear things down. I said to him, "Maybe they never had anything new to take care of.

Sister Irma,

I was listening to CNN's Campbell Brown when I heard someone say that the NAACP was an old relic trying to be relevant again which is the reason they brought the complaint against the Tea Party Group. I thought that was the funniest thing and just began to burst out with laughter. Old relics~~ where do these people get this stuff?

Irma
I repeated the same lifestyle for my children as my parents gave me, because I turned out to be such a happy go lucky person. I didn't have the heart to tell them about how cruel the world was that we live in, but when I tried to relate a few facts about things that were happen in my life they seem to turn on me in disbelief because they had only met the nice White people, teachers, friends, policemen, etc. I was the villian until they got to high school and saw the pictures in their history books.

THE INDIVIDUAL IS THE ONLY EXPERT ON THEMSELVES...

THANK YOU AND ALL OF MY LOVE AND RESPECT TO ALL OF YOU. (S-M-I-L-E)

Helen and Jen may "I 'ask the both of you a few questions?!?

do you knnow about Dr. King's "I HAD A DREAM" AND HOW IT RELATES TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS movement...and if you do or if you do not...do you believe the Beck and Palin have a right to go celebrat thi sspech and to do so because our president in doing what Dr. King said to do in that speach but Dr. King's messaage was not don correctly so they must go and do it right?!?...

I you believe that we will be going there to say please don't do this is going to be commining violence...or is it just automatica that the Whie people with their ak 47s are not violent...I don't know about the two of you but the only Black man I have even seen inmy life was at the speechof our president and within shooting him range...

Now the second statement...the NAACP IS SOMETHING THAT YOUR GENERATION IS FAMILIAR WITH, BUT WHAT YOU SEE TODAY IS THE National NAACP...The National NAACP does only one thing...they come in and take CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS STRAIGHT BEFORE THE SUPREME COURTS...THEY PROTECT BROWN V BOARD OF EDUCATION AND I DO BELIEVE THE TWO OF YOU ARE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE EVER SEEN THE NATIONAL NAACP AT WORK. (SMILE)...

JEN, DO YOU REMEMBER ONCE ASKING ME WHAT MADE ME AN EXPERT...WELL LIFE AND FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE IS A GREAT TEACHER...AND OUR CULTURE IS STILL BIG ON LISTENING TO THEIR ELDERS AND OUR ORAL HISTORY...

YOU SEE JEN, I BET YOU DID NOTKNOW THERE WAS A NATIONAL NAACP AND A NAACP BUT THEN YOU HAVE NOT BLELONGED TO NATIONAL FOR 52 YEARS EITHER, (SMILE) MY DUTYIS TO HELP EDUCATE BY TRUTH AND LOGIC AND PRIDE IN MY CULTURE SO WE AN SURVIVE THE TEAPARTY RETURNING US BACK TO WHERE YOU TOW CAN EXPERIENCE FIRST HAND WHAT WENT ON IN THE 60s...but back then i admit we did not have to face head on ak47, but then thisis what they use in drive bys now don't they...21st century al capone style and that was way before "i" was born when they used tommy guns. (smile)

Oh Helen also , "I" believe it is long past the time we stop acting like victims of slavery and not proud we survived slavery. (smile) and if we get proper education as to all of the things like designing D.C as well as building it then we would be able to be proud of our countles accomplishments during slavery, btu we refuse to make this step ...don't we?!? (smile)

we can put blacks are viloent but I never see blacks are peaceful pasive loving peoples...or is this because they do do this on TV or in our grade schools?!? ("I" am not smiling) because I know th eanswer before asking the question (smile)

Helen, your comment brought a giant smile on my face, because "I" really don't believe that some way some how every parent has had to go through this.

Have you ever heard that express of "When I realized I was my mother I knew I was in trouble". This is because parents at one time willhave their children to experience exactly what we put our parents through...

So not to worry, your grandchildren will be proof for your children that you were as all mothers are...

"WE (mothers) ARE RIGHT EVEN WHEN WE ARE WRONG"...This my mother use to drill in me and when I would say why , her answer was because she has "MOTHER WIT"...SHE ALWAYS REFUSED TO TELL my what that meant, but my childen did. (otfl as "I" think of this issue) (smile)
