I understand you with that; however, some people take someone "not following the party line" or not taking the popular route as spreading the seeds of division and conflict.
Challenge to someone's thoughts and opinions is healthy. It becomes unhealthy once the challenge goes personal and attacks on personal integrity or sincerity come into play. In this thing, you can be neither friend or foe. Just be someone trying to make sense of how you personally view the world and make your contribution the best way you see it.
That's life. When I die, I could care less how the next person viewed me - my only concern is did I stay true to myself and live my life as the person I am rather than the classification people made me out to be. Too some - you will be a hater, an unconscious negro, a shucking and jiving coon, a race-traitor, an ignorant colored and to others - a revolutionary mind and advocate for change, a nation-builder, a self-sacrificing matyr. Yet, regardless of the definitions, you are only you.

Yes that is true, challenge is good and we should cross examine each others beliefs and values and expose what we think are things that are fraud or inconsistent, and there is a dark side to focus on, however if folks chime in and say phuhq the Black movement or phuqh Christianity that is fine and healthy and there is freedom of speech, but many here were under the impression that this,
was not Black Planet,
and wonder why so many many old timers here and those with so much wisdom and sprituality and knowledge of communiy development, and healing, tools that folks really need,
feel the need to swoop inafter long hiatus,
like a vuluture on the carcas of that which they despise and feed on it slowly for days weeks months even years,
while the communiy at large is catching hell and in real desperate need for creative input from those in the know and those who have been given much.
Really and in all honesty, why would anyone post phuhq Chritianity for 20 to 30 consistent posts without providing wisdom from thier own spirituality or an alternative?
What is the process of converting someone if that is the goal?
why would folks not be here for long periods of time and swoop in and say Black community development is a "party line" or someone's pet agenda, when all of the Black leaders are on the payroll and the community is like a hospital with no doctors or nurses?
Why bash and beat up on the masses of Black folks who may be deaf dumb and blind to the knowledge of self, and then beat up on those Ausets who attempt to bring ideas of unity, postive energy and healing for the global Black community.
Negativity can be a religion for some also, but if folks need to practice that relgion here or express only negativity religiously , not at the oligarchy or the plutocracy, but to their own people,
without a comment or an idea towards solutions then that is fine also.
Folks have the right to express their inner nature regardless of what it is, but if many do not wish to KHEPERA that inner nature that destroys and causes discord, division and draining energy,
why expect anyone else to change their beliefs or attitudes?
The Black community here, Africa, the Carribbean and Europe will be facing untold horrors in the coming 4 years, police statehere, and AFRICOM to recolonize the Motherland and genocide.
but if folks don't care about that or feel a need to help then that is fine also!
one should only do what they feel comfortable with!
