I have to look hard to find something about this beautiful movement in Washington today

But CNN gives it a little time, and what is the focus

HOMOSEXUALS that poor Farrakhan had to allow in.

Theracist Whiteman loves this crap, forcing his agenda on ours

They call the minister Homophobic, I dont think a big man like Farrakhan is afraid of them, he just doesnt accept their sexual choice.

So no media coverage, and the media coverage we get is talking about the gay that will be speaking. We dont see do we? anytime the white man promotes something it is 90% against our interest.

Lets break those with a backbone, like Farrakhan or not you cant say he doesnt stand-up for what he believes. And the minute you stand up they look for angles

He hates Jews, He hates Homosexuals. One man talking about aborting African babies and nobody too bothered. Where is Mrs Bush? the same one that was up in anger about Mr West "Bush dont care about African-Americans"

We need a paradigm shift where their agenda is not ours and we need a backbone to stand up for what we believe.

if you wanna be a homosexual you have that right but dont force that agenda on ours as it aint an African agenda, it aint a Christian agenda, it aint the agenda of Vodoo, it aint the agenda of Islam, it aint the agenda of the Hindu, It wasnt the agenda of Kemet, Axsum, Timbuktu... U get the idea

i know i am jumping about but you know despite signing an agreement with nuff "negroes" in America (mainly churches) the racistwhite man went to them and told them "dont support it" and despite the contract of unity they signed you know the nasty Toms pulled out? I cant stand these people and we need the world to know who or what these people are--TRAITORS

I now love Sharpton He said "if you scared just say so.."

I like Rev Sharpton



never wait for perfection, it doesnt exist---support something real right now support the movement for all the things good in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there is always a reason not to support so b about something rather than nothing

http://www.millionmoremovement.com

thats cool because it hurts when u get your hopes up

But teh main thing is I think God weights us as individuals and as long as we support the call then what more can we do?

I'm glad that there is less media this time.

Because, I think only Black people who have their ears openshould even know about this event.



Media attention doesn't validate anything positive that we do.....and props to the Minister for not catering to the media......often doing that dilutes your message and you becme mor einterested in media coverage than in delivering your message...

this is the second one, the first was known about worldwide.....any Black person not aware of this event is maybe somebody who won't really benefit from it.....



A hundred soldiers beat a thousand followers..anyday of the week.

They is rioting in ohio a group of black people are not happy with police letting a neo nazi match happen nearby,recipe for disaster if you ask me. Watch how this will get more media coverage

yeah but the lack of media needs to be a serious reminder

we need our own media

and we need to support media already out there for us

www.halaqah.com for example

and www.ligali.org (media watch)

MILLION MORE MARCH:

BLACK AMERICA'S LAST CHANCE OR JUST THE NEXT ONE..

by Anthony Assadullah Samad



On Saturday, Minister Louis Farrakhan will attempt to replicate the modern day miracle of ten years ago, by convening millions in Washington, D.C. to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Million Man March. Known as the Millions More Movement, this will be open to all races, men, women, gays, lesbians, transgender and bi-sexuals of good will, as well as labor, the NAACP and the National Baptist Convention (none of whom endorsed the 1995 Million Man March) and all people who face oppression and depression in today’s class conflicted society. Ten years after what many doubted could happen, and what others couldn’t believe had happened, and what others still wonder why it happened, many are asking the question: why should it happen again?





The more cynical in our society are suggesting that “black protest� marches are all played out, and that this march is Black America’s last chance to do something great to change the debilitating state of Blacks in the United States. Conversely, the more optimistic in our society think it’s Black America’s next chance to make a difference for the future generations. Either way, Black America has to do something at a time when life chances are not to be taken for granted. The world is watching. But it’s not the first time cynics have raised the proverbial questions, “why� and “what for?�



Some political analysts, social critics, and other opinion leaders have tried to determine what were the social and political benefits to Blacks after the Million Man March. Many others have called the Million Man March a lost opportunity to mobilize a national base, to start a third major political party, while others just cite the fact that there was no tangible or “quantifiable� result that came out of the march. They cite the 1964 and 1965 Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts after the 1963 March, and the desegregation of the federal government at the threat of the 1943 March on Washington. The absence of national policy gains was the most noted criticism, but there were thousands, if not millions, of young men that stopped their abusive behaviors toward themselves and toward their women. There was the adoption of thousands of orphaned children, which could be tracked. But that didn’t stop the criticism. Then there was the one million men (and over the past ten years, despite every effort to manipulate the count, most historical accounts now acknowledge that there were a million or more men in Washington that day) waving dollar bills that promised a renewed economic initiative to rebuild urban communities. While it didn’t quite work out that way, there were economic development gains, as hundreds of communities saw new business upstarts that came out of the spirit of the Million Man March.



But very few folk are prepared to acknowledge the thousands of “intangibles� that either can’t be measured or will never be known due to the change of spirit that occurred on that day – a feeling that most who attended say they have never felt before (or since) – the residual effects that were carried back to communities, families, relationships that offered more hope than America was offering at the time, and more will than had been demonstrated in a long time. Remember, Black America was supposed to be so apathetic, so lethargic that nobody was taking bets that 100,000 would show. Now that they know a million (or two) could show up this weekend, critics want to question why one million people should bother to make the trip, if it didn’t make a tangible difference the first time?



The difference between then and now is that America is at war, in the midst of hurricanes, floods and pestilence (as biblically predicted), under constant threat of terrorism, in the midst of an oil crisis, a civil liberties crisis (same sex marriage and right to live), a struggling economy and a class struggle over unlivable low wages and what America is doing to protect the poor and middle classes. Now is the time for a movement in America, and Blacks have more allies in their suffering than at any time in recent history. Black America has always been the litmus test for what is “real� and what is not when it comes to freedom, justice and equality in the United States. The treatment of the poor in New Orleans is just the most recent example of what is real and what is not. Things come to a head every 35-40 years in America, and the United States hasn’t had a real social change movement in about 40 years.

This might be a last chance to march for some, but it might be the next great chance for others – particularly those who never had a reason to march before. We know the world has changed since the Million Man March. We have entered another period of change in America – a chance for millions more, who were not a part of the last change, to be a part of the next one.

I love the idea of millions of blacks marching.

But I dislike farakahan and many of his ideas. Quite frankly, I think some of his idea's are a littlenuts.

I really wish someone of higher stature would do something like this.

We need better black leaders

in current atmosphere who do you have in mind that can take on Farakhan and win?
