you were cool until this point. the problem you completely miss (which i believe is discussed somewhere within the archives...hint...hint) is that Black people come from a myriad of cultures, backgrounds, and ideologies. Colored skin doesn't necessarily a brother or sister make, nahmeen?

To paint the readers/posters of OKP with such a broad brush is divide and conquer because you're still playing the "me/we vs. you game". You're part of the "People on OKplayer", so your statement is faulty from the gitgo.

I say, plant your seed. If the soil is fertile for the kind of growth you want, fruit will be produced. If (which may very well happen) no one is interested in building with you you have two choices: leave, and the "problem(s)" won't get any bvetter or stay, keep planting and hope that something you've brought up/forward will spark something.

I admire nappiness, wbgirl, and many others here because regardless of the amount (or lack) of support they get, they keep on plugging.

I feel your pain, but after reading your response about "crying and complaining" i think you may very well have done/become that about which you speak.

be careful, because sometimes there is a thin line between examining an issue and taking part in it.

stay blessed, and keep moving.
