No apology necessary my friend, I was just testing my recollection of our elder leadership. Didn't fare to well as I should've. Unlike "The Other Man" everyday of our existence from birth to death has been, is now and always will be tumultuous. I truly wish I was wrong but it appears that our destiny is based on "The more things change the more they stay the same". Our dynamic as a people struggling to not even persevere but to just survive against all odds seems at best disheartening. Gloomy huh? Like someone somewhere asked a few times before. So what's "YOUR" plan? So now I'll ask. So what's "YOUR" plan?
The plan is a simple one !
1 Look at the statistics of the soldity of the Black family unit, from the 60s and 70s to the prestent, then look at the level of at least a focus on collective economics and the number of movements we had as a people in the 60s 70s and even 80s and the lack of that now, then look at the community love we had as a people no matter how hard or bleak, things , may have been, then compare that to the period of time when we lost that in the 90s as well as losing our communties to gentrfication!
2 then ask yourself, was that due to us just not giving a **** anymore or due to a Cultural Virus inflicted on the community ??
3 But if it is due to a new Culture , a Culture antagonistic to our progress and one that more then likey stopped our progress, then it will take 30 Conscious Sisters and Brothers in each of the 50 states , to work together to create a Cultural Revolution to be the Antivirus , to that cultural Virus of Gangsta Thug Pimp, Balling Trap and Drill culture , that has effected every strata of the Black community in the past 25 years regardless of education or economics, surely as someone who has been a social worker ( as you say down in the trenches in the ghetto) and studied both sociology and psychology , would understand this !
The Scientific Method denotes , do what has been proven to be effective !
100 years ago Garvey created a Cultural Revolution that transformed millions of house negroes and assimilationists to become , Pan Africanists and Black Nationalists ! And mind you he did it with no technology and no media !
