Take A look at
http://amnesty.org.uk/events_details.asp?EventsID=289
Do you see any Black content
Shop around and see what 2007 is all about
Make Poverty History
Save Darfur
When you go to these events you dont see Black people.
Anti-Slavery.org All white club, I emailed them all about black content for 2007, NO REPLY or We cant find any, or we are doing or best to be inclusive.
I think as opposed to talking nonsense on these forums we should use it to rally a plan to change this crap. If everyone here agreed on how to approach these poeple do you know they would have to listen? But it is our fault, we would rather stay safe in our "i am a revolutionary because i save africa on blackchat" than use Blackchat to organize real action
I have come across a few film dealing with slavery
Healing Passage (USA)
Sankofa (USA)
500 Years Later (USA)
Black mountain Lion: Sierra Leon(UK)
sorry not Roots because we dont own that either or Amistad
None of these films are in there programs, they do ever want 2 give us a platform, they still believe they can speak for us and save us (from them). They get away with it because we prove them right by staying silent. We dont orgainize, but some clown would reply to this and say something negative, as opposed to act in our collective interest. this is our gloabal sickness. And i am from Africa and it aint much better there, save Ethiopia where the only thing they show is Ethiopian tv (but only EThiopia).
The newspapers are all cowards, what can we do. But chances are this plea will be ignored and we will go on reply to things that dont bring change, the compaining among the choir about the priest.
here are some emails, put pressure on them

notice how even some of our leaders half speak "We need to control our history" and leave it there, point to those things where we control and make the world deal with it. "We need to teach slavery in School" a version which explains us to white people?
Stand up and do something today, 2007 is an all white party and we were never invited
