Peace and Blessings Family,
I have thought on this subject many times, and again last night in the chat room we were discussing this very thing. After listening to the recording of the Honorable Marcus Garvey, i am inspired to begin the discussion, building, supporting of those organizations that are currently working to save and rescue our people from devastating and catastrophic calamities around the world.
When Katrina hit, all the majority of us could do was watch on television as we saw our people begging for help, dying, hungry, without water or shelter from the storm. I'm sure some of us sent whatever help we could, prayed for them, but none of us were able to rescue and save our people. Which means that none of our doing was enough.
Why is this?
Where are the Black organizations built to save our people?
Other people have organizations to help their own people.
Why don't we have this? Are we not as much men and women as others? Are we so pitiful a people, that we can't take care of our own?? Were we not blessed with a mind, limbs, and all that others have?
There is absolutely no sense in our people dying all over the world, at alarming rates, while we continue to complain about government, white people, or any people! Why can't we do this for ourselves??!!! Why haven't we?!!!
I understand that there are organizations working for us, but they are obviously not doing enough, for we are in a desparate condition all over the world, with no immediate relief in sight. I have heard others make mention of their knowing people who can do this, that and the other, who are prepared and qualified to step in and help when needed ... but where are they ... we need them now!
Isn't it time for us to have at least one organization strong enough, wealthy enough, determined enough, to save our people?! What are we waiting for?!! Do we not believe there will be another catastrophe? Do we think all is well in the world with Black people??
Please Please Please ... list the organizations that are rescuing and saving Black people from hurt, harm, and danger. Please list those organizations created for and by Black people, that other Black people can go to, and receive assistance with honor and dignity, asking of their own people for help ... instead of having to wait for those we know do not care about us ... to save us.
If we do not currently have such organizations, let's build them. What does it take for us to have our own planes, trains, boats, ships, busses, etc., to go and get our people ... where ever in the world they may be ... if they need our assistance?
If the organizations that are currently working for us, don't have the funds / resources necessary to sustain us, let's help them. List them, please.
Family ... tell me ... please ... where can we go to get help from our own people?
