I appreciate the work Reverend Al has been committed to and commend him on his passion for our people and fortitude he has displayed when it comes to acting in the best interest of and speaking for those that the higher ups in society look down upon with scrutiny and could care less about. I found an interesting perspective regaurding this issue at the following link: http://www.whitewidowreport.com/Articles/Politics/Al_Sharpton_Civil_Disobedience.html

Comment on Coversation starter- how do you transcend race? PLEASE COMMENT! by Jay Que, The One and Only

Jay Que, The One and Only — Thu, 08 May 2008 05:11:38 +0000

I think the pertinent question here is can we race transcend race? Given the climate of today’s society, both domestic and global, I would so no. What we must transcend is the social construct in which race was formed. We must redefined that social construction to mean more than a demographic categorization of a group of people that share similar ancestry. This is an important step because race has always been used to demean, subjugate, marginalize and prevent a people from moving beyond a certain socio-economic class. If not prevent, make more difficult with respect to other racial groups. I don’t regard race in and of itself as a negative thing. I do detest the use of it. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with celebrating our differences and our diversity. It becomes a problem when those differences are used in order to prevent an entire group from rising to their highest educational, social, economic and political potentials.

If we have children, many of us need to get back to the basics in raising them with values. Stop letting money and materials goods do that because we are losing generations of our children.

Comment on Get ‘em Baby!- a little kid tells Detroit Politician what’s really good!! by Y M Williams

This woman was being relentless in her actions. This child tried to get her to understand how her actions had a negative impact on them and she still didn’t get it. Detroit definately does not need anymore people like her and Kwame to lead the city.
