BLACK POWER - What Is It?

BLACK POWER!; WHAT IS IT? The term "Black Power" was first brought to public light by author Richard Wright in his book titled "Black Power" in 1954. It would later become popularized in 1966 by the late Stokely Carmichael, aka Dr. Kwame Ture, during a nationally televised speech on June 16, 1966 in Greenwood, Mississippi surrounding the shooting of James Meredith. During the speech Dr. Kwame Ture (Carmichael) said at one point, "Don't be afraid, don't be ashamed, we want Black Power! We want Black Power! We want Black Power! We want Black Power! We want Black Power! We want Black Power! We want Black Power! We want Black Power! That's right, that's what we want and we don't have to be ashamed of it."

On Behalf of Black Christians.....

To my Black & Brown "family" on behalf of us Black Christians,

None of you living who oppose Christianity came from a southern slave plantation or off a Trans-Atlantic slave ship, and because we can read and study for ourselves now we don't use the excuse "what the white man taught the slaves" to explain our choice of faith. You can write the most plain and clear information or speak in the most direct way and it seems Black folks will still miss the point focusing on the wrong thing, only to end up starting a fight with you and forgetting what we are suppose to be fighting for together.

To Easy A Slave & Never the Masters of "Us"

When I see certain responses on racial issues by Black people I say to myself, "Now I understand how we became the primary targets for slavery." We're too fearful, easily deceived, gullible, submitted, and passive like the perfect slaves.
