I'm a member of BIG in Seattle and just like the initial foundation of the NAACP has changed drastically - so has BIG.
BIG was established in 1975 and incorporated in 1976 Rockville, Maryland. The organization was developed to assist many Black Gov't workers as liaison to streamline the work conditions, mistreatment and employment terminations focused on the Black workers. Going from Federal, BIG has taken on State, Local and Munciple Workers.
Today, the organization holds annual conferences (dynamic) across the nation, they provide scholorships for our college bound kids, hold school drives for our kids in need. The 7 day conferences - is like being in a town full of professional Black intructors, Black participants and Black events...It's a wonderful atmosphere:)
Now, this drug epidemic has not color/race associated and I'm a bit perplexed why the BIG organization is teaming up with LEAP.
BIG's goals are to promote EQUITY in all aspects of American life, EXCELLENCE in public service, and OPPORTUNITY for all Americans. (THIS STATEMENT WAS NOT ALWAYS THE GOAL OF BIG - JUST AS NAACP'S GOAL HAS CHANGED - - - THEY'VE BOTH INCLUDED "ALL AMERICANS" WHEN IT WAS FOR BLACKS AND COLORED PEOPLE)
You feel me!

In case you haven't heard, the VAST MAJORITY of African-Americans voted AGAINST GW Bush both times.
Again, that's evidence that Blacks are not lacking in intelligence. We're not the ones who voted for GW or Ronald Reagan.
We're not the ones duped the Tea Party clwon show.

What scares the heck out of me now is that the politicians want to get rid of the EPA.
Well you don't find so many Blacks as whites voting for reactionaries who aid companies in shipping jobs abroad. Ghettoes were created by SEGREGATION, and whites created segregation.
And who are responsible for white criminality...including crimes against humanity?
We know that companies would start polluting like crazy again without regulations.
Just like regulations loosened and investment banking got blurred with commercial banking, and we got the mortgage crisis and b.s like credit default swaps.
Shipping the jobs overseas is really out of control and I hear they are now trying to negotiate some trade deal with South Korea. It seems in these trade deals such as NAFTA and GATT, the American worker suffers.

4 days agoBEWARE, black people, of propaganda designed to divide and conquer the BM and BM. We know this society has been waging war against black people and the black family since the days of slavery. NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
When you are going to move against your enemies you plant confusion and hostility among their ranks. Think about the endless articles on these so-called black websites and black authors who somehow get these great book deals when they promote "IR relationships."
Why are they pushing IR on black people while telling us that we can't get along with each other?
The best way to defeat your "enemies" is to get them to wage war on each other. No better example exists on the planet than the manufactured war between the BM and BW.
Why is the black collective the ONLY community that is targeted for IR? I guarantee you, these types of articles and books are NOT being aimed at the white population. Whites know that the best way to HOLD ON to their power is to convince those who are powerless to divide and conquer themselves.
For those who think, "wait a minute, some whites are marrying blacks!" -- let me assure you, the VAST majority (91%) of whites DO NOT MARRY non-whites. In fact, more whites marry Hispanics and Asians than those who marry blacks. Blacks are the LEAST LIKELY non-white group to marry whites.
What is really tragic is how much time black people spend reading and talking about sexing white people when our communities are falling apart from high unemployment, crime, poverty, and foreclosure rates.
Instead of focusing on building up our OWN communities - like every other successful group in this country -- we spend hours bickering over whether we have the "right" to have sex with white people.
Instead of creating more black businesses and putting more black people to work, we bicker over whether we have the "right" to have sex with white people.
While we wring our hands over the declining quality of life in most black communities and our children suffer, we bicker over whether we have the "right" to have sex with white people.
You would think after all we have been through -- 400 years of slavery plus 100 plus years of racial oppression -- that we would see the dangers of letting "outside interests" controlled by white people -- like most of these black websites, IR book authors, and article "writers" -- lead us astray and away from each other.
To understand the game that's being run on black males and females check out the book, 'Black Love Is A Revolutionary Act' by Umoja and you will know exactly what is happening and why it is happening.

1 day agoYou are obviously a very intelligent man who has taken the time to look past the B.S. If more of our people thought like you, we wouldn't have all of the problems that we currently have in our communities, and we would be much stronger and more unified as a people.
I have to agree with Cocoa09, you should definitely try to get your thoughts out there in a book or magazine because what you have to say is intelligent, insightful, and thought-provoking.
Great Post!

In a thread called EUROPE: HOW DO YOU VIEW AMERICANS Zaius claimed that Barack Obama was a mediocre mulatto "C" student, even though Obama graduate Magna Cum Laude from Harvard's Law School.Hello Zaius,
You strike me as very fair-minded. These posts of yours represent the most "fly-on-the-wall" perspective I have seen here. Truly a journalistic flair.
Facts be damned. He simply made this up and peddled the fabrication as fact.
He even had to nerve to claimed that i was a high school drop out. Yet there are people even in Topix who read articles of mine in SOCIAL SCIENCE INFORMATION, PHILOSOPHY EAST AND WEST & INTERNATIONAL QUARTERLY.
Zaius said about a Frenchmna named Attai that he really had no interest in America and hadn't even been interested in visiting America.
Well I met Attai IN PERSON here in Baltimore last summer!!!! And he has a teacher and seveeral friends in America whom he visits often. I've been to France several times, but not as often as Attai has been to America.
He claims that there are "many" Blacks in the Tea Party. In fact, the Tea Party is essentially alien to the national black community, and Black Tea Partiers are a marginal handful.
And he claims (or at least implies) that BLACKS elected GW Bush twice. In fact, the VAST MAJORITY of Blacks voted AGAINST GW both times.
Moreover, Zaius is repeatedly spewing racist venom intended to demean the dignity of Black people.
Zaius' "journalistic flair"? He'd fail as journalist in any respectable establishment of journalism.
After all, a journalist is not supposed to simply make things up, and then peddle his fabrications as facts.

It is the responsibility of Black parents to protect, guide, and raise their children into productive adults that are proud of themselves and their history, I don't have the power to control the children of others, and I'm not in a position to adopt Black children, either in the Diaspora or Africa.
When you are PROJECTING the future of black people or any people you look at the condition of the children. This is common sense. The entire context for which you are looking up quotes and statistics deal with the future.
I encourage Blacks to wait until they are in a strong financial position and have a strong partner before considering children, because without a strong Black man and woman who are in a loving relationship, and who have the financial resources to give their children the assets they need to grow up into productive adults, the problems facing Black children will continue.
-Kashta_Bureh
From my observations, the problem has to be attacked from several different angles. The first issue is that many blacks have picked up on European culture's hatred, mistrust and disdain of educated individuals and education in general. That in and of itself has a long and twisted history. At one time educated people were respected as leaders and counselors in a great bulk of communities around the world. Think griots and wise men/women in Africa, philosophers in Greece and Egypt, sages and counselors in Asia. However, with agricultural innovations, technological innovations and the like (ironically many of which were made possible BY the creative genius of those same thinkers that became marginalized), being educated became looked upon as a trivial pursuit, taking a back seat to other more practical paths in life. Fast forward to today, and now education in many cases has become tainted as something that is pursued by weaker or lesser individuals in the West, by "unpopular" people.
The Black race has produced some great thinkers, but the big question is how can we use these men in order to empower the Black community as opposed to the White one? Too many of these guys are working for Whites, even Randal Pinkett got a job working for Donald Trump.
The trouble is, when these great Black thinkers work for Whites they empower Whites, but somebody has to figure out a way to bring these Black scientists and thinkers together within an organization that works towards empowering the Black community. These Black mathematicians should be working for Black organizations.
And of course, this issue is compounded in the black society where other social problems provide a perfect breeding ground for a lack of appreciation for education. So the first thing we have to do is re-establish the importance of critical thinking and pursuits of the mind in our collective consciousness. Paths of knowledge need not be held in competition with more practical paths in life. Both are needed and balance each other out. However, once we get to a point where we truly valorize education in our community, we'll be in a better position to fully appreciate great thinkers in our community and support and enable them to utilize their skills to our communities' benefit. Because the current unfortunate status quo right now is that we ignore and hold contempt for some of the greatest thinkers our race has to offer. Who the HELL is gonna get ahead doing that?

You guys give a person a lot to think about. When you put it all into perspective your right. As an African american I feel that my race has many things to learn about how to better our selfs as a people. If it takes competing with our counter parts (whites) then so be it. we need to show the african american children of tommorow that instead of trying to be the next Tookie Williams they need to take a harder path and become the next Bill Gates. I personaly feel that its one thing to talk about all this stuff but its another to actually get involved. Instead of bloging about it start listing ways to improve our race. The longest journey starts with a single step!!!
1.Help a younger brother, sister or friend learn a new subject.
2.Start community activites for young adults.(It might not seem like much to you but consider the kids who don't have positive role models in their lifes)
Plese give ideas only we as a people can change the future for generations to come.
P.S. LOVE ALL PEOPLE JUST WANT TO SEE AFRICAN AMERICANS PLAY A BIGGER PART IN SOCIETY.

They are obsessed with Black people, which is why on the Glenn Beck program he devotes at least part of his show to discuss something about Blacks.How is that any of his business in the first place?. Hasnt USA got better and burning issues to worry about? Only Africans and black Americans have a say in the matter, and not someone who has his own identity crisis.
Maybe he should spend his time on paedophiles and inbreeders. This Glenn Bleck character could be an inbreed, he needs to take a blood test to prove it once and for all that his maternal grandfather is his biological father.
My observation is that people find it hard to leave alone those they FEAR (the most).
Here he talks about the use of the word "colored", because he knows that will get a rise out of his base.
Next he regurgitates the New Black Panther Party [Note by Me: Did the New Black Panther Party burn churches, caused massive terrorist attacks, kill, lynch, or assault unjustifly white people? The answer is No], as if they are a mainstream Black group, and shows what new things they are doing. Again to keep emphasis on some radical Blacks, no matter how minor a role the group plays in the overall Black community, just to keep the things stirred up.
With three wars going on and high unemployment, it is a distraction that is used to keep throwing red meat at the base. It keeps them entertained like a baby with a rattle.

I remember hearing Kathleen Cleaver, former Black Panther Party leader, pointing out all these things as essential factors in accounting for why the current era, the current black community and its values, are so different from the humanistic and revolutionary values that inspired us in the 1960s.

Today I'm taking a day off and relaxing, that is why I'm posting more than usual. But I'm thinking of writing a book, because I've got a lot of ideas spinning around in my head.
As Blacks we need to get it together, time is running out. The situation with Africa and the Diaspora is bad, and I'm telling you guys that these Whites are gearing up for an extermination, it may not happen at once but it is coming, if you watch the movie Avatar you can read between the lines and get the message, I got the message.
White people have been telling us what they have in store for us but a lot of Blacks don't get it, they don't see what is coming. I've read their books, they want world domination, they've already colonized large parts of the globe. The White race has colonized more continents than any other group in history. Interracial marriages are just another method in a big bag of tricks.
Whites will either seek to breed us out of the gene pool, exterminate us through war, famine, and Black-on-Black violence. Africa has become a battleground between Whites and Asians, with Arabs thrown in to make things interesting. How Africans deal with the tri-threat will determine the future of the continent. If Blacks in the Diaspora don't unify then they too will be eliminated in time.

I comprehend about these agencies and some of these agencies are cited in the Constitution. The rest are legally created later on by Congressional legal procedures. The economy stalled because of numerous reasons. Many big banks are hoarding wealth, no real comprehensive economic solutions are transpiring here, the war on terror is draining our domestic resources here, and there are other reasons existing on why our economy has stalled in the USA. People don’t need an abusive amount of bureaucrats, but I have no problem with pristine resources to help the poor and other methods that can improve our financial state.
So, you admit that we in the USA aren’t living in an explicitly socialistic state. We don’t since we have strong private corporations and private industries. We know that Barack Obama hasn’t publicly said that he wants the state to control all of the means of production, so to me he isn’t a socialist at all. I don’t agree with czars since we can handle our affairs without them. The FED did these policies since we have had a huge recession years ago. I don’t agree with the government controlling all financial organizations. Yet, if people are starving to death, then helping people under the “general welfare clause” is fine with me. Regulations are trickly. Some regulations are bad and some regulations are good. We have to preserve legitimate regulations that protect our environment, promote safety, and prevent crony capitalism. We can eliminate any abusive regulations. There are Progressive Conservatives in Canada that has similar views as Barack Obama or views more left than he is. Cameron is just like Obama on foreign policy matters not on domestic issues though. Third World dictators make pronouncements beyond just money, but they speak in favor of oppression, anti-civil liberty policies, and some even promote genocide. I don’t see Obama using rhetoric as equated to all of the rhetoric from 3rd world dictators at all. This hatred by some reactionaires are expressed in this link:

Had the community not been dislocated by de-industrialization of the electronic revolution within capital, had its principled leadership not been destroyed and replaced by thugs and bourgeois opp;ortunists, had the community not been swamped by the national and global drug trade thereby, had the community not been saturated with the values of consumerism, new liberated and liberating communities would most likely have continued as the outgrowth of the liberatory movements of the 1960s.I don't understand how a group of millions can't use their liberation to set up functioning communities and economies.

Do you get all livid and spew insults against people like Orville Faubus, George Wallace, Lester Maddox, etc., the Southern white racist leaders who tried to stop de-segregation? Were they "hate mongers"?

Tons of people realize the flawed logic and the debilitating composition of crony capitalism. Big money raising has been done by both parties. The President isn’t the first nor the last to utilize massive money in order to generate revenue for a political campaign. Yet, one thing ironic is that the President compromised with the Republican in the debt ceiling, the tax cuts for the wealthy, and other policies, and these compromises haven’t radically improve our economy at all.
It works well for the people that are connected and it works well for the unethical politician that has their campaign coffers filled with filthy money.
Lets all wonder how a president, with an approval rating in the 30% range, manages to raise a billion dollars for his 2012 propaganda campaign
Do you understand that the fourth branch of government, the regulatory branch, composed of an alphabet soup of bureaucrats, are the reason the economy is stalled and we are entering another recession?
Socialism is not something you can just bring to the United States over night. It is an incremental process.
Obama aims to make America into a workers' paradise, a land where government czars tell Wall Street tycoons how much they can make and where the feds take large ownership positions in companies like General Motors and insurance giant American International Group (AIG). This is fact. The government has already used its ownership stake to impose sweeping mandates and regulations on the companies, such as closing hundreds of dealerships.
Such as?
Third world dictators tell people when they have made enough money.
Folks are actually saying, "I have never seen a President stoop this low…[Obama is] a pyromaniac in a field of straw men.”
Such as the crashtheteaparty.com folks?
If you say so.
I comprehend about these agencies and some of these agencies are cited in the Constitution. The rest are legally created later on by Congressional legal procedures. The economy stalled because of numerous reasons. Many big banks are hoarding wealth, no real comprehensive economic solutions are transpiring here, the war on terror is draining our domestic resources here, and there are other reasons existing on why our economy has stalled in the USA. People don’t need an abusive amount of bureaucrats, but I have no problem with pristine resources to help the poor and other methods that can improve our financial state.
So, you admit that we in the USA aren’t living in an explicitly socialistic state. We don’t since we have strong private corporations and private industries. We know that Barack Obama hasn’t publicly said that he wants the state to control all of the means of production, so to me he isn’t a socialist at all. I don’t agree with czars since we can handle our affairs without them. The FED did these policies since we have had a huge recession years ago. I don’t agree with the government controlling all financial organizations. Yet, if people are starving to death, then helping people under the “general welfare clause” is fine with me. Regulations are trickly. Some regulations are bad and some regulations are good. We have to preserve legitimate regulations that protect our environment, promote safety, and prevent crony capitalism. We can eliminate any abusive regulations. There are Progressive Conservatives in Canada that has similar views as Barack Obama or views more left than he is. Cameron is just like Obama on foreign policy matters not on domestic issues though. Third World dictators make pronouncements beyond just money, but they speak in favor of oppression, anti-civil liberty policies, and some even promote genocide. I don’t see Obama using rhetoric as equated to all of the rhetoric from 3rd world dictators at all. This hatred by some reactionaires are expressed in this link:

WOW!Some of you, who read my post above, think I'm nuts..........if you think that, you're just ignorant and not very well read.
You see, we were taught in school that Hitler and the Nazis were defeated at the end of WW2..........but this is not "quite" true. You see, even though GERMANY was defeated, the Nazis and their philosophy lived on.
In fact, Nazis escaped from Europe, created massive corporations, and some set up shop in South America, particularly Argentina. But, some Nazi scientists were brought to the United States to share their technology with American scientists:
Operation Paperclip:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperc...
The philosophy of Nazism is alive and well today, both in Europe and the Americas. The Nazis during WW2 developed technologies that were so advanced that many of their discoveries are STILL CLASSIFIED today.
Some of you reading this wonder, what it has to do with racial mixing. Well, it is simple. You see, the promotion of IR and Racial mixing is just ONE of the tricks the White race has up their sleeves.
You see, the White race thinks far ahead into the future. They know they are dying, they now they are not breeding fast enough. So, they are going to attempt to AUGMENT their bodies to become superior beings through Transhumanism, nanotechnology, biotechnology, and all the other technologies that are being developed in this century.
The goal is to exterminate most of the world's population off Earth, this was Hitler's long term objective, his THIRD REICH means THIRD EMPIRE. Now the White race is working on the FOURTH REICH, or fourth empire.
If Blacks and other non-White peoples of the world are unable to contain Europe and White people, in their quest for Godhood the White race may not only destroy us, but themselves and other life forms on this Earth.
This is the reality, this is what we are facing, and if you don't believe it you are in serious trouble.
This is absolutely the best post i've ever heard,and broken down to the exact!
I've been saying this all along what you posted here....seriously i think they may have slept on this post here!!!!

H___, one thing they all have in common is how stupid, and hypocritical they all are. Dodging military service (Bush and Cheney). Flunking out of colllege (Bush and Cheney) poor grades, etc., but calling for wars, lol. These are their saviors, lol. The ones they look up to because they're as dumb and hypocritical as they are.
Interestingly enough, I don't recall them asking for Bill Clinton's transcript. In fact, I don't recall these reactionaries calling for GW Bush's transcripts despite his obvious stupidity which might constitute grounds for doubting his Ivy League education.

No, he has sold the country out to the corporate plutocrats who are responsible for the immigrant crisis, and most other crises as well.
Obama ran on a MODERATE progressive platform,but governs essentially from the center/right.
Which is why we got watered down health care package, a rather tepid national reconstruction program (called a stimulus), and whh Gitmo and the Middle eastern wars are still happening.
Obama occasionally puts out progressive feelers--=-as when he proposed that there should be at least a moratorium on evictions and foreclosures if the corporate institutions are being bailed out.
But he caved as soon as there was any opposition. FDR would have taken the issue to the American people, fought in the arena of public opinion, and probably won. LBJ was known to do that on occasion. Obama apparently lacks the backbone.
