When the Dem candidate ran aginst Reagn, we made no plans to protect us from GOP excesses
When the Democratic candidate Al Gore ran against Bush we were full ofhope and failed to
examine or prepare for a worst case scenario
Now we see the repeat of the cuts and craziness that occured under Blue Dawg Clinton, who destroyed Glass Staegal and signed away millions of Black union jobs with,
GATT and NAFTA.
hundreds of thousands of Black families will now wonder how to pay their bills, now that the unemploymenrt extension received no bail out,
no bail out for foreclosure releif
Now when and if they destroy Medicaid, and Medicare and mess with SS
What do we have in place to provide for millions of Black elderly?
Now when and if they destroy welfare from state to state which will not just hurt the poor, but those just mentioned who have welfare as their only recourse after being , refused a bailout for their unemployment insurance
What do we have in place to provide for hundreds of thousands of African Amrican families
The Nguzo Saba is the simplest most basic aspect of Black Nationalism
itis not just for one day out of the year, Kwanzaa on December 26
but it is a principle of assurance and insurance to take us into the next century
It is not the only plan , but if it is a plan that works and has elemets that can and will establish cross national saftey nets
why not re-examine it?
If we fail to plan we plan to fail.
