Although I was drawn here again by a poster on another board, I've read several of your posts and am very aware of what you speak. I do not doubt your sincerity and wish to connect with your roots, but I'm sure that many, like myself, who "get" you yet have not responded, read your posts and think you simply aren't ready for prime time. Your perspective and POV of the world and the races that inhabit it might be better served and/or received on a "general" rather than a black-oriented MB.
Understand me clearly. This is not a put-down, not even a criticism. Just a heads up on the difference in your opinion and that of most members of this board. You seem to feel black people should work with our oppressors to make this a better, fairer, more equitable world. Others feel it is the oppressors who mucked up the world, are benefitting from it and have NO desire to mess up their good thing by dismantling the racism which put them on top and keeps them there. There is a reason whites would prefer to "say" blacks are incapable of doing this and that and for whatever reason, rather than get busy and, as Francis Cress Welsing put it, try equal opportunity. As that ain't happ'nen, it is illuminating the particulars and peculiars of our race and culture that carried us through the dark days of the past and can propel us forward into a brighter future that most black posters are interested in discussing, NOT what we have gleaned from close association with whites that we have concluded other blacks are lacking and/or should emulate.
There's more, but I think you get my drift. And again, no disrespect.
