Q&A With J. A. Faulkerson

what is the dream you wish to see become reality and what are you doing daily to make it possible?
"Restoring the black family to its "wild or natural state." Willie Lynch's methods removed us from this state, causing us Blacks to be more dependent on Whites for our needs, out wants. To him, our black ancestors were no good to the economy in their "wild or natural state" because of their string of independence. That's one of the reasons why my personal mission statement is to promote functional families through my words and deeds. Light must be shed on the connection between parenting and prospering."

Why Are You Concerned About Black America:

Because many of us have forgotten where we came from. The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s should have been a transforming event for us, but we continue to ignored by the mainstream. We need to do more to assert ourselves, let the mainstream know that we are more than just athletes and entertainers.

Though I wanted to hop in, they conversation had carried on way too much for me to back track, but thank you for knowing the importance of keeping scripture in context and not bending to satisfy a crowd. I see you have gotten to a point where you stand firm on the word of God and that is admirable. thank you, thank you, thank you! miss charity Tagged by charity White on 08/13/2008
