21390, RE: WHY WON'T BLACK PARTICIPATE
Posted by Nettrice, Sun Sep-10-00 02:53 AM
If you truly want to help the Black community you will have to overcome fear. When I work with youth or parents or anybody in the community I have empowerment in mind. I have community and youth development in mind. I do not have fear in mind. Being an activist requires that you transcend fear. It does not matter if they kick you off the council. It matters if you can make a difference.

Peace!
