Happy New Year Black Justice League!

I hope we all took heed to Zulu's very informative and entertaining 'Annual Kwanzaa Thread' over on the NON-DETROIT forum. Kwanzaa principles are a wonderful set of ideas and concepts to empower us has a people.
I'm hoping soon, that we, the members of the BJL can come together in a sort of meet and greet gathering. I will work on the details and ask our members to respond on such an idea...stay tuned
As for now, I want to thank all the members of the BJL for checking in each and every month and making this a serious group of members that are dedicated in supporting our presence within the DY forum.
Also, DY members are welcomed and encouraged to ask questions to which they have concerns, issues, or whatever the case about the Black experience in this country and abroad.

It's February, where are my Black Justice League brothas and sistas!
Please check in for February 09' Roll Call.
Blksoul_x checking in from Southwest!
Roll call is on....please check in.
Random thought....
Have we (Africans in amerikkka) seen the 'Mountain Top'?....amerikkka elected and inaugurated a Black President and some of our very own have stated to claim we as a people have witnessed the 'Mountain Top'!
This seems very concerning to me, especially as a people, our population continues to see disparities in terms of basic quality of life issues in amerikkka'. Our Black villages continue to be overrun by drugs, lack of educational devices, poverty, crime and disease.
Despite the election of Barack Obama, the so-called 'Mountain Top' to which many have lately claim to have seen, is perhaps a fuzzy vision of equality. I don't think Dr.King meant the hiring of a Black President would be the 'Mountain Top'.
We ought to be careful about giving up on our struggle to free our people. There is no better time than now to understand who we are as people. We are in dire need to promote a new Black presence. We owe it to our elected President to become more galvanized in terms of a brand new Black movement, one that embodies the fight of Garvey's Pan-African Movement, the brilliance of the Harlem Renaissance era, the determination of the Civil Rights Movement, the creativity and self-reflection of the 60's Black power Movement and the artistry of the Hip-Hop movement of the 80's.
Once we have re-embraced the qualities and determination of the movements mentioned above, and attach all of what our ancestors fought and died for in our quest to compete, then, and only then may we start to claim that we have seen Dr. King's vision of the celebrated 'Mountain Top'.

First of all BlackSoulX Obama is bi-racial: to negate his caucasian side is racist. Want to make a stand against racial and other biases? Start by marching in the black community, stamp out racial hatred in the black community. When black activists and groups of citizens marched through a predominantly white neighborhood in Philadelphia and the citizens stood on their porches and turned their backs against the marchers, it more than likely wasnt because they were diehard kkk racists, they probably encountered a few too many blatantly racist-rude-immature-disagreea ble black Americans. Many black Africans have told me they view many black Americans as being rude and immature, Asians and hispanics in this country also hold grudges and biases against American blacks.
We need more black academics and intellectuals to stamp out negative stereotypes of black people. Embrace higher education, stress the importance of education to youre children. Black Americans are flocking to oraganized religion and embracing dated metaphorical filled superstitious nonsense.
The reality and fact of the matter is that Americans dont understand, or dont care to understand the effects of past injustices and discriminations on contemporary African Americans. |
