If you look like a rac...@ disapointed me so much<br /> <br /> If you look like a racist cracker and you talk like a racist cracker and you feel like a racist - just do the math.<br />The best thing you can do for the poor/Black/Native peoples and yourself, is to get your own ship in order.<br /><br /> We in the hood, have so much on our plate already that it will serve us no purpose to try to ignore 400 years of experience just to make you feel good. We absolutely must acknowledge these past 400 years and come to the realization that any help from our white "brothers and sisters" that hasn't come yet, probably isn't coming. <br /><br /> If you truly wanted to help, you'd be in among your own people explaining to them that they'd better get their shit together because they have been for centuries abusing the best friends they ever had. We don't need you to preach to the choir.<br />You don't need to be all hugged up with Black folks in order to do the right thing. We know what that is and if you're doing it, it'll be it's own reward.<br /><br /> @Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin <br /> This is a beautiful article and I'm with you the movement needs all the help we can give it. We positively must do this thing ourselves and stop waiting for help. We suffered from some major losses in the seventies and eighties in the form of the murder and exile and incarceration of the cream of our leadership. Along with the massive injection of addictive drugs into our neighborhoods which combined with designer laws put a generation plus, of our young men behind bars. So here we are today. The time is now and the place is the hood while we still have a hood. It's going to take all of the strength and ingenuity and cooperation we can muster, to make this happen. The fact is if anybody can do it we can. We built America once and we can do it again but this time we'll include ourselves.

I didn't read all your statement occupy The Hood and strolled down to read some comments, the one comment where the person says that you have alienated him. I can't find where you alienated anyone but will go back and read closer in a little while. I spend my life helping poor, low income people. I'm in the trenches a place where the middle class and preachers don’t go. So that is why I can identify with much that I have read and I approve with blessings. If I ever took part in a movement or started my own I would not alienate anybody. If I did I would correct it if I can. In the 60's I wrestled with where I stand. Do I roll with movement’s blacks against whites such as NOI? Do I roll with Martin Luther King movements where whites and blacks stood side by side? Do I roll with Huey Newton? In my actions of the past I met with Huey Newton with CIA surrounding us, I stood side by side with blacks and whites protesting and fighting for rights and respected and understood the Muslim movement in America. If I were Johari Jhuru I would first of all follow my heart but at the same time not exclude those that want to take part such as whites. The one thing for sure you should not be discouraged because as a Prophet of God I know you're on the right path. Sometimes when we word things it don’t come out right, I know what you meant and in truth if you were to exclude anyone you would have made it clear. My book “I Rode on the Wings of an Angel” by Maxwell Bennett can be found at you neighborhood library I would encourage everyone to check it out it cost you nothing by going to your library. You will find a plan to help the poor and America you will find secrets the Government don’t want you to know about the illegal tax lawI Rode on the Wings of an Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05027146496999345807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30311353.post-15833290622085199882011-10-13T06:34:53.644-07:002011-10-13T06:34:53.644-07:00Sorry - Peoples Organization for Progress is in Ne...Sorry - Peoples Organization for Progress is in Newark.

The inner-city concerns of POC have not been addressed by OWS. <br /><br />On the other hand, I find some of the language alienating...OTH made an aliance with OWS...But how can you join with an organization and have "allies" while you are using this kind of alienating language? <br /><br />I strongly suggest contacting the folks down in New Orleans, Peoples Organization for Progress for a little guidance in this area. They have many years of experience in this area. They are GREAT. I'm sure that they would be glad to help. http://njpop.org/wordpress/ This is just a suggestion. I hope that you consider it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30311353.post-86316956774065990942011-10-13T05:55:46.530-07:002011-10-13T05:55:46.530-07:00Wow this article just disapointed me so much.

I grew up in Miami and went to school in little haiti in Miami, so I know what it is like to be a minority. I have seen first hand the racism and struggles of being a black person. I SEE IT. I KNOW IT IS THERE. I believe in your mission and I completely understand your frustration. Racism is alive and well in this country and clearly and blantantly obvious in politics. However, you need to understand that turning against people who are most likely to join with you and rise up against these forces is counter productive. You just alienated me (and I am sure a lot of other people), made me feel like I am some racist cracker. What did I do? You are creating hostility, at a time when we need to all come together for a common cause. You are approaching the situation with anger, instead of approaching with love. You might not get such resistance if you didnt assume that every white person is middle class posers and uncaring of your concerns. That is very broad and RASICT comment. You are only alienating people with this type of talk and getting the exact OPPOSITE results that you are trying to achieve. ijs With that being said, lets come together. Peace and Love will overcome this tragedy. Not anger and hate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30311353.post-36268462992367682302011-10-13T00:00:33.065-07:002011-10-13T00:00:33.065-07:00Thank you so much for this GREAT article!
