[QUOTE="Qualisha Carter-Irby, post: 974901, member: 57450" Gentrification makes it so that a black wallstreet can never again occur. Im genuinely confused on what it is you're asking me.
Like I said before, I'm aware of my history. If i wanted lectures on my people's history I would research it myself...
Im asking for meaningful solutions.. as I have offered in my question./QUOTE] Solutions which will go where, achieve what without the DO FOR SELF ethos from top to bottom that the GAP community of Tulsa so very very spectacularly exemplified?
This “gentrification” play is [happening here in London, they're after Rio de Janeiro's favella's too] a worldwide phenomenon to retake the inner cities once THEY realized that commuting from the suburbs was/is an expensive time consuming hassle whereas by making the inner cities White/middle to upper class makes it easier to police, control/exclude non-whites and Blacks; go back to feudalism with the peasants and Blacks etc outside the castle/city/metropolis, as highlighted by the surging growth of gated communities.
Don’t we in the main seem to be totally unaware of just how fortunate a generation we are as WE now have had comparably easy access to our TRUE HISTORY provided by our own scholars for over 30 years now [They Came before Columbus, The African Presence in Ancient America edited Dr Ivan van Sertima was first published in 1976], thus can you relate to my frustration at the manner in which these tools for so very efficiently purging the Euro-centric GARBAGE that is STILL so very very efficiently poisoning both our individual and collective knowledge base aren’t being widely deployed [especially our so consistently inept or just openly treacherous leadership] in our communities in the UK, USA and the rest of the Diaspora and even more crucially in Nigeria and the rest of Africa itself?
Additionally, isn’t updating the history taught in our communities and countries with the TRUTH as so very spectacularly highlighted by the 17 Olmec Heads unearthed in Mexico to date, and all of our other so very very efficiently marginalized/totally ignored African contributions to civilization/technical culture in every area of human activity over the last 5000 years a rational easy starting point; pragmatic means of purging the Euro-centric GARBAGE that has and is still so very very efficiently poisoning both our individual and collective knowledge base/stunting our spiritual and intellectual development?
With regard to the Olmec Heads, don’t you find it strange that 17 massively superb sculptures [weighing between 4 to 30 tons] highlighting an African presence in ancient Mexico as bearers to technical culture/literally the Rulers of the earliest pyramid/ceremonial platform building culture in Mexico [the Americas], is STILL being totally ignored in the 21st century; whereas won’t you concede that had the Olmec Heads been projecting/promoting a White/European presence of such antiquity [literally 400 – 1500 BCE], wouldn’t that fact have been in ALL their history books/constantly rammed down our throats 24/7 by their mass media/ propaganda machine?
