7759, RE: Black Future Month, redux. Posted by Cre8, Tue Jul-02-02 05:24 AM
Minor thought, but holds some weight: Are we going to change our heritage name as a people, i.e. Negro, Colored, Black, African-Americans...NeoNumbians?
I heard the name used by Louis Gates in his doc. It might sound silly but names do hold weight.
As for the Black Future month, I would like to see the black church, mosque and other African and Black religous/political(NAACP)/financial based organizations work to uplift its congregation. Similar to the church posted in the WSJ that helps its members become and learn to stay debt-free. If an institution is unwilling to help free black folks of debt, then to hell w/ that institution and build a better one. Being debt free should be our first step to insuring our kids of a positive future.
