For years, especially on the internet, I've heard Black men talk about networking, and building, growing, and building, connecting, and building.
I'm sure we all agree that we must BUILD, but it has come to my attention that not all of us agree on what must be built or how we should build it.
So my question is what is the goal, what do we intend to build collectively?
*Do we want to build a society where we can freely practice our traditions and cultures as AfroAmericans and still progress financially, technologically, as well as socially?
*Do we want to build a new progressive Black community all together not based on old traditions?
*Hell, do we even want our own society period?
Or are we satisfied living in this one but wish for a little more respect and "understanding" from white people?
