Yeah Mayor its pretty deep. It is one of the books that our Org, tends to use to enlighten people about where the true basis of western Knowledge originates. And it even goes deeper into how social, fraternal, and sorority type organizations pledge new members. I mean it was a complete eye opener for me. And it also showed me how some of the BGLO's got it so wrong when they got into the practice of hazing (not sayin all greeks but some chapters and done for dirt). |

Django, I think it means he is twice the MAN of everyone on the list. Seems like he'd never let something like pigmentation become an obstacle, even IF someone else tried to serve it up on him. A real man of peace working towards community, including everyone. Very strong, indeed. |

D_stylin, essentially Dr. Francess Cress Welsing analyzes the nature of race...the color line to be exact, as it relates to global racism through a series of her collective essays. Her theories suggest that all activity and behavior enveloped by the global white power system is predicated upon the dynamics of racism. She uses an 'Einsteinian' approach...(unified field theory)...that is to say, an approach that connects the interconnections of isolated and disconnected behavior energy phenomena in the 'Western' societies. She talks about the use of the gun as it relates to the white power system and it genetic inferiority...explaining the symbolic meaning of the gun, and why it is necessary for the white power system utilizes control method of the gun. She talks about the Aids epidemic(or Holocaust as the Dr. calls it) as it relates to the annihilation of the Black man. She speaks in detail about the origin of the disease. It is a interesting read to say the least...one the may provide some answers to our current day strange behavior patterns. 'Bragaboutme'...I hope you enjoy! blksoul_atcha! |

I rarely ever check this "Connections" Forum, so I have missed the previous role calls. Count me in! Since we have all of these brilliant black minds checking up on this thread periodically, please answer the following questions (I don't know if this question belongs in the "Connections" forum, but...)- how do we stop all the gun violence in the city of Detroit? |

'Masterblaster', welcome to the Black Justice League. 'Masterblaster' checking in! Asante! 'Masterblaster' has posed an interesting question about gun violence in our Villages, I'm assuming Detroit being the symbolic reference, as to say the Black community...asking, 'How do we stop all the gun violence in the City of Detroit'? Perhaps it starts from the very top...Government officials that really care about our villages, policies...particularly addressing the entire spectrum of injustices in our villages...schools, jobs, training, economic help, along with creative laws, and the use of high technology to curtail the influx of illegal guns and weaponry into the underground markets. What do you think?...what are the actual numbers of gun violence in Detroit. Black people...lets talk! blksoul_atcha! |

Wilkes36 checking in from the wonderful windy city. There is a way to cut down on gun violence. Gun control. A nationwide ban on the sale or private possession of handguns would greatly reduce crime in our villages. Give up your guns people. |

Re: Frances Cress Wesling From Wikipedia (take it for what it's worth...) "Welsing has been criticized for allegedly promoting an overtly racist ideology; in The Isis Papers she postulates that white people are the genetically defective descendants of Albino mutants who had been forcibly expelled from Africa[3] She has been criticized for claims such as that black male homosexuality is consciously imposed on the Black man by the white man for the purpose of destroying the Black family, that black homosexuality is a sign of weakness and that homosexual patterns of behavior are simply expressions of black male self-submission to other males in the area of sex, as well as in other areas such as economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, and war.[4]" At a glance this Wesling sounds like a Von Daniken for the black supremacist fringe. Check out Elijah Anderson's "Code of the Street" for real science on the subject. |

Brag checkin' in The Question may be best described as a conundrum. To me there is no answer to Gun Violence. The Question should In my Opinion be when will our young people seize the opportunities that are presented to them, and understand that the world is bigger than the street they grew up on. The only way we as a Village (community) can evolve is to always re-invest time, money, education about self, ect. to make sure what was started can continue. There was and still is value left in our community, this gun play that is going on has risen since the early 80's because of the drug trade, and there is no end in sight. So as far as the violence ending I wouldn't put to much faith in that. The powers that be put the drug trade in our community, but thats a whole nother topic. |
