what do you mean? You just restated the spirit of the original post so I just went on with my misgivings for the TYPE of acation taken.

I don't get it...where did you become confused?

No, that is not what I said. I said the leaders met to discuss a plan of action. Action for the sake of inaction isn't always the best way.

If that is the only result you can glean for coming up with an appropriate action plan...I don't know what to say.

Yes. In fact let me give you an example- just for perspective. My sophomore year at Georgia Southern there was an uproar. The editor of our school paper said that Black History month should be done away with. So, instead of planning...I, and some like minded friends ran to the 'brary and typed a response, and made like 1000 copies and placed them all over campus. didn't even spell check, but I digress....

We then had a meeting. I was a DJ, so I publicized this meeting. This official meeting was after a smaller meeting of the known Black Activists on campus. The second meeting had all the Black social groups, greeks, organizations, etc. We made a plan, took it to a greater group of all of our supporters and put our plan of action into effect including: media coverage, demands, protest route, inclement weather provisions, signs, etc...

The shit got great media coverage in Savannah, locally on Radio, college radio and newspapers. Might have even gotten play in ATL...I don't know. We still didn't cover all the bases though. Nevertheless...the shit went off OK. If we waited one more day we could have come with a MORE powerful agenda and made lasting change.

Instead...ole boy kept his job, and all we got was like a sensitivity training course for on campus media- something that wasn't even observed.

No teeth because of poor planning.

No, maybe you didn't read what I said. I have NO problem with that. Did you read what I said?

Fuck it. Responding is pointless. You are just str8 running off at the mouth about some bullshit. You obviously didn't read what I said or at least comprehend.

Either that, or you are crazy...perhaps stupid.
