The subject of the show was "Radical Steps Blacks Must Take To Retard Gentrification." According to the host, gentrification is happening in Black districts nationwide since she travels nationwide. The only steps she offered were: (1) stabilize our communities and (2) hold on to our property. She started the radio show by saying gentrification only affects those without money and property. However, as Blacks are scattered, Black businesses and Black churches will not be able to financially survive, because their customers will no longer live in the area any more. Yet, no solution was offered to empower the Black American poor being scattered into white and immigrant dominated areas against their will by the Democrats they elect and by the employers and developers brought in by Democrats. "Stabilizing the community" can be interpreted as so many things that that statement is not a solution at all. "Hold on to our property" is not a solution, because remember, gentrification is harmful to impoverished Black American tenants most of all, not Blacks, who are lucky enough to have inherited their homes or a government job to buy their homes. Black leaders pay lip service to leading the Black American poor, but they have no real intent to help the Black American poor. I called in several times to offer my solutions about a national membership group to coordinate voting efforts to drive Democrats out of Black American districts being harmed by gentrification and to use membership fees to strategically create businesses to employ impoverished Black Americans, but my calls allowed me to listen, but not to comment. Self-appointed Black leaders exploit impoverished Black Americans just like any other immigrant group does. These Black leaders tend to be solidly middle-classed, homeowners and/or business owners, and their only interest in recycling Black dollars is to get poor Blacks to enrich themselves while they employ only Hispanics and Black immigrants. Any money that the Black American poor puts into Black owned businesses do not necessarily return to them in the form of employment for the Black American poor. The host tends to draw her interpretations of Black conditions based upon Christianity, not science. She interpreted Black crime as a consequence of rejecting god (i.e. the slave master's god), not as a result of poverty, which was created by majority groups' race discrimination against Black Americans in employment and higher education and as a result of Black American enslavement. There was more preaching than problem solving. Maybe it is a good thing my calls were not answered, because I don't think a Black leader, who equates Black American poverty with a rejection of god (i.e. the slave master's god) can understand anything I say based on social science. I am so disappointed with Black leadership. The Black bourgeoisie pays lip-service to the needs of the Black American poor to legitimize their exploitation of and oppression against the Black American poor. #blacks, #blackamericans, #poverty, #poor, #impoverished, #bourgeoisie, #middleclass, #buppies, #blackbourgeoisie, #blackpoor, #gentrification, #problems, #solutions, #radioshow, #talkshow, #blackleaders. less

I tried to do some consensus building on Facebook for Black American liberation and someone responded as though I was attacking him personally. He made a nasty comment about me, tagged my name or something, then, blocked me so I couldn't defend myself... moreI tried to do some consensus building on Facebook for Black American liberation and someone responded as though I was attacking him personally. He made a nasty comment about me, tagged my name or something, then, blocked me so I couldn't defend myself or ask this person what it is that I wrote that made him think that I was attacking him. That is so evil and cowardly. I am so disappointed with this Black male, because he sounded as though he was threatening me. I am promoting Black American unity and taking actions to solve our problems and I have "friend-ed" a bunch of strangers, who like to post articles about Blacks and about racism, but they are unwilling to strategize with other Black people in making our situation better in this country. They point out the problems, blame the Black victims of racism, then throw up their hands in helplessness, and, for some, give the problem to god to solve. I was raised in a Christian home and I had a grandmother, who said, "god helps those, who helps themselves." This sounds practical since none of us can scientifically prove our god's existence. It is like I "friend-ed" a group of Blacks, who want to complain, do nothing about it, and then hate me, because I am presenting actual solutions. I don't get it! They have this woe is me or woe are we attitude. Rather than consider the solutions I am suggesting, they either blame the descendants of Black American slavery for their poverty, unemployment, welfare dependence, self-destructive behaviors, and crime rather than blame the perpetrators, who brought Black Americans here. If a Black person is presenting solutions to our problems, why is he/she a bad person? Their responses to me are not for Black Americans gaining freedom; it is like they are against it or afraid to pursue liberation. However, now that I think about it, it makes total sense in the culture of slavery and the slave mentality. There were slaves, who seized their chance to runaway from slavery, genocide, and oppression; there were slaves, who were happy to stay in bondage or afraid to leave their masters. How do we break the psychological chains of Black American enslavement, if people don't want freedom and equality? #blacks, #unity, #disunity, #helplessness, #freedom, #equality, #liberation, #consensus, #building, #cowardice, #problems, #solutions. less

A lot of our people are very defensive
