You are right mike in so many aspects about the diversity of our people. It has always been so mike. I am 58 years old and it was so during the 50s, 60s, 70s and so on. we are easlily shattered and splintered.

the divisions can be narrowed down also, but i usually notice that in these days the loudest of our protestors are usually the least active when it comes to "rubber meets the road" stuff.

I know that i am an ignorant man who has an opinion and much of academia on here tells me that i am under the white man's spell. now that would not be so bad but I know for sure without any doubt where and whose i am. so with that being said i am sorely suspect of much of what is displayed as those who know on here. I don't want to tear them down, but man how can you get black people ready for what is to come by being a part of the problem rather than part of the solution, especially if you think yourself a part of the elite.

Mike i have learned to contend myself and be mildly amused as what I see when we are called together any more. white people during slavery did not treat us as badly as some of us who think of ourselves more highly than we ought to treat some of us who are "the lesser".
