    no not a Black thing at all.

    Fact of the matter more of an anti-imperialism ish in this case and there are millions of Europeans, Asians and Latinos who see something wrong with this imperialist move as well!

    and they are outraged by this "reactionary" agenda of Pax Americana, because the Europeans have seen the same excuses made in Kosovo, the Asians have seen the same excuses in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, and the Latinos have seen the same excuses of "humanitarian effort" in El Salvador and Nicuargara

    Good points...

    But, while each aformentioned peoples freedom fighters may not always had or have a chance to give props for our related efforts, what is regrettable is to many of us, here/there/everywhere have forgotten about our own diversity, as well as what our Muhummud Ali reminded us too, as in--our relations are all over the world!!

    Do reread Harold Cruse' THE CRISIS OF THE NEGRO INTELLECTUAL, and when I have advocated a united black disapora, it's based on what got us from there--'the New Negro'--to the Garvey movement--to the Civil Rights and Black Power movements--to the Million March--to here...We never did or have to really battle on our own...

    FYI...

    nice but we hardly give a darn about the drugs sold by our children in gangs in our cities let alone the US hegemony over our ancestral homeland

    The myth of young people naturally and normally usher in a better life for us all is perhaps the best scam our enemies came up with-- since James Dean ushed in the eras of white youth without a cause...Instead them black fellas--back during those sit ins etc-- did!

    To those of us older and more mature, all the little waynes do is make a lot of noise...

    To young people, it's all new and news, to them...

    I. e., when it's all new to somebody-- how does some 'old dude'-- like me-- contrast the ill with the real?

    It's not that people don't care, they look to us to tell them what to counter somebody's b. s. with...

    Not easy...Always a struggle...

    Also-- always be aware-- and wary-- of their weapons of mass distraction-- my man...

    FYI...
