Riada said:Bro anAfrican, our people are not ready yet. You've got to just accept that and not stress yourself much about it. It's just obvious to me that not enough of us have evolved to the point of action yet. Being angry is not going to speed up that evolution.
We may not evolve to the point of action in our lifetimes. I've accepted that. Find ways to enjoy yourself and you will be healthier and live longer.
kemetkind said:Riada, I love your spirit! I've noticed on many threads here.
I wouldn't say though the threads here reflect the readiness of our people for action, just the readiness of the leadership here to sustain action.
Action is not the mission of this site, and when we fail to understand that we create conflict. By pushing for action, we are in fact pushing against what the sites owner and moderators have as their mission, which is to maintain this site, not "build skyscrapers."
The site is about discussion, so we just need to discuss on a more civilized plane with each other.
The action-oriented folks will hook up and do one way or the other, you just won't see it organized through this site.

We CAINT be saying that we are not ready... We must NEVER admit defeat like that... Else, it aint the arguing white man wanna see, it's the lack of an argument he is most happy with... Because that would denote a people who've lost that fighting spirit... People who are lethargic and uncaring have largely been defeatedlll Their spirit done been broken and shattered into a thousand little piece, and they whipped... That platinum thread demonstrates for me that we are not a whipped people, sittin' on the stool with a towel over our heads... It demonstrates for me that we are fighters, and we've still got energy to come out for the fifteenth round... Else, none of us would still be up in here talking to one another...
