I also find the many comments expressed (12 as of now) at the Black Fist Blog to be very good in detailing the question, “Unity - Does it exist for the Black Community.”<BR/><BR/>To start, I would like to collaborate an agreement in principal with the comments posted on November 19, 2005. All reading my comments, I recommend you to also read this Blog. A very, very good explanation to the issues at hand.<BR/><BR/>Basically Unity exist in many shapes and forms, and is subject to the eye of the beholder. The spectrum of its existence covers the territory established by such founding fathers as Marcus Garvey’s “Universal Negro Improvement Association”, W. E. B. DuBois's "Niagra Movement", and Booker T. Washington’s Tuskegee Institute. These groups and organizations began formalizing at the turn of the twentieth century during the dark days of Jim Crow.<BR/><BR/>All three major founding fathers had unique positions and tried reaching the American “Negro”, as we were called then, in a way they felt best. All three had opposing views, and each one rose to withering heights. But there was no Unity of a common cause objective. The masses of Black Americans adhered to which ever founding father that served there needs economically and or politically. Thus, our Black founding fathers deciphered the shapes and forms of Unity in political and economical terms.<BR/><BR/>The Unity was amongst the followers of each organization, and there was no Unity between the organizations.<BR/><BR/>Judging from history, I would say Unity is a totally encompassing proposition between folks (brethren, i.e. brothers and sisters) who believe in heart, mind, spirit, and physical commitment to CONDITIONS confronting them in there lives. In any of the four states just mentioned (heart, mind, spirit, or body) Unity will be found.<BR/><BR/>In my opinion, the General Niki X expressed that she believes in the common nature connection of Black Americans, (i.e., historical, cultural, psychological, and sociological). And, above all, recognize the ultimate solutions to the plight of the Black American, is that for us to express openly our Unity. If we fail to do so at this critical point in time, we will suffer plights more devastating than ever foreseen in prior times. This question, “Unity - Does it exist for the Black Community”, is being asked from her heart; her mind; her spirit; and commitment from her body, because as our leader, she’s pleading for reinforcements. This battle which has always been wedging in the nature of human kind historically is one of survival of One’s chosen CULTURE, and not to dictated by another’s culture. She’s further pointing to the fact that at the turn of this twenty first century, that the Man has devised schemes and choices to allow all Americans to make choices, predetermined by the Man of course, to psychologically alter the paths of cultures laid out by our predecessors.<BR/><BR/>Thus, “Unity - Does It Truly Exist” should be expressed outwardly by individuals by way of their hearts, mind, body, and spirit. This is no joke. The line is drawn. You either stand for Black people, or against Black people! This is no time or place to be hodgepodge about being Black!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14707786.post-1161726621744855422006-10-24T16:50:00.000-05:002006-10-24T16:50:00.000-05:00Thank you once again for your comment Sis.

When they are spotted by the media they are rightfully portrayed as freaks, outsiders, nuts. Not so with black rap racists. They are embraced by the community at large. They are also played on mainstream radio and in fact show up and are honored at the MTV, BET and other awards. That's the difference. Out of the closet white racists are isolated--black racists are revered, looked up to. Especially when they throw in something extra like women hating (bitches and hos) and gay bashing (fags). Then they're really community heroes. These girls went into hiding--and they should. Hate monger rappers mingle at the best Hollywood parties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14707786.post-1144273235358143662006-04-05T16:40:00.000-05:002006-04-05T16:40:00.000-05:00The easiest thing that black people can do to begi...The easiest thing that black people can do to begin to unify is to turn the TV off, turn the DVD's off, turn the X-box off, turn the cell phone off, forego a trip to the mall and talk to each other about stuff that matters.<BR/><BR/>A way to improve black leadership is to inculcate in the minds of young people with the potential to be leaders a call to serve. Don't let them be blinded by the message that they can use their education to make a lot of money and buy a lot of stuff.<BR/><BR/>I think that if you deprogram black people of the materialism we have learned from the dominant culture, everything else will fall into place.<BR/><BR/>RobertAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14707786.post-1132595887799383302005-11-21T12:58:00.000-05:002005-11-21T12:58:00.000-05:00Let's take a closer look at the mentality of many ...Let's take a closer look at the <BR/>mentality of many Blacks today as it<BR/>relates to Unity.

There are a ...The Black pie is split into slithers. There are a lot of layers to why Blacks are not unified, but I will share my opinion from personal experience from 2 perspectives: Black Leadership and the Black Middle-Class.<BR/><BR/>On Black Leadership: Many of those that are considered Black Leaders are not chosen by Black "people", but by Black institutions that are funded by mainstream (ie white)corporations and other organizations that do not have our best interest at heart. They have other agendas. But because we don't fund our own organizations and institutions, many of these Black Leaders can't (or won't) bite the hand that feeds them. We need a serious paradigm shift of our organizations, b/c they do very little to benefit who they are supposed to help. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, Black Leaders that are chosen by the people are always negatively labeled as being anti-white, or racists, or some other derogatory label and our outcast (ex: Farrakahn, Councilman Smitherman, Malcolm X, Damon Lynch III, others). Because of the fear that many Blacks have with being associated with such persons, instead of embracing them, they either support them from a distance or not at all. <BR/><BR/>Hence, Black Leaders chosen by whites and their followers are divided by Black Leaders chosen by the people. <BR/><BR/>On the Black Middle-Class: One the greatest backlashes of the Civil Rights Movement was the economic divide among Blacks. Those in the middle-class, have moved out into the suburbs and haven't looked back. <BR/><BR/>Last year the Enquirer ran a story about how people thought about the NAACP and questioned whether it was still needed. Many young people and Black professionals believed that things have greatly improved, although we still have some issues, but that the NAACP has ran its course. Middle-class Blacks (not all of them of course) are out of touch with what's really going on and frankly don't give a damn as long as it doesn't directly affect them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14707786.post-1132431687232240292005-11-19T15:21:00.000-05:002005-11-19T15:21:00.000-05:00YOU SEE HOW YOU HAVE LEFT ME SPEECHLESS MISS X?
