Ms. White and her lawyer were none too happy when they were told they could not hold any kind of election concerning our branch. (3155) This is unbelievable! To think that such a respected org. could sink so low, this is very heart-breaking, especially in a time when people need help more than ever. This is why we must stand TOGETHER and fight any and all who threaten our freedoms and rights. We will be going back to court on May 10, 2012. Contact Rev. Pinkney for more details at BANCO.

My point was that fear of the other, and the insularity it breeds, is a phenomenon that includes racism but is larger and more pervasive. Indeed, it is the phenomenon that most distinguishes Michigan from the other states I have lived in (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida). And sadly, Councilwoman Watson is very much a carrier of the suspicion that public transit riders, investors, residents and even ideas from "outside" threaten our communities more than they promise to help them flourish.

ALL other groups have a Nationality and can tell you where their ancestors come from. For example, most Mexicans or Hispanics can tell you what part of the land they are from, such as Peru, Mexico or whatever. Blacks/Negroes are told they are from Africa, therefore they let themselves be called all these different names which does not properly identify them as anything. African American means continent continent. Africans in Africa today are not called Africans. They are called, Ghanians from Ghana or Libyans if from Libya. Caucasians will proudly tell you they are IRISH AMERICANS and etc. It would behoove my people to learn what their Nationality is. We BNC's have one. Blacks, Negroes, colored. Currently my people are very, very, lost. This is in response to the above article. Peace & Love Blacks/Negroes have no Nationality and therefore are not tied to the land.

It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
