What are our most pressing issues at the moment?
How do we face them and solve them?
Is it getting our communities back on track? By that I mean, is it time to take our kids back and our streets? How?
Is it economic empowerment? According to stats, African-Americans are outpacing every other group in the USA at starting businesses... Should we develope certain kinds of businesses?
What are the most profitable businesses that we already have throughout our communities?
(Churches, Beauty Salons, Clubs????)
Is it time for us to develope general funds for our communities?
Are government funds more important for us to acquire... or should we focus on raising our own monies and investing, etc?
Should we call on organizations like NAACP, Urban League, Congressional Black Caucus, etc... to come together...with Black Business Initiative Orgs. like Black Enterprise, Frasernet, Black Entrepreneurs to disseminate wealth building initiatives information to all of us?
Is it time to Demand that our Churches leverage the 60 billion dollars that they have collectively to help our communities?
How do we begin? A letter writing campaign...Hodee, said, and is correct, "I cannot do it alone." We have to work together...we have to use the resources that we already have at our disposal to do so. We have to have letter writers, we have to have street soldiers, we have to call meetings, we have to practice constructive communal resistance... and we have to learn to wield the powers that we possess.
