Especially when it comes to challenging the political power structure.' This is a false choice-as Ghandi and Dr. King demonstrated, well behaved people can get things done, including helping to bring about societal change. In fact, the Bible gives the following exhortation: 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12English Standard Version (ESV) 11 and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, 12 so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one. ‘My grandmother used to always encourage me to “get in the way.” That was her way of telling me that well behaved folk rarely get things done.

It wasn't because you weren't for the Obama's because I wasn't easy sold either. It was the black forum. I loved them and I watched them faithfully until something got in the way. I'm not one that believes we have to someone to tell us how to help somebody else im sure I can manage. I was disappointed that there was not a collective plan. In my mind in order for any real changes can be made we have implement a plan such as the honorable Elijah Muhammad, im not say his plan but some that's inclusive. Enough of that I agree with your statement now how to do we executed it Tavis, very well said and just to mention you were one of my favorite news commentator until something got in the way.

Thu, 23 Aug 2012 18:46:00 +0000 http://www.yourblackbloggers.net/?p=6497#comment-11523 Very well said Travis. I agree. Now this is the question I HAVE. If I vote at all who do I vote for? I do feel it is my responsibilty to vote after lives and beatings was place on others just for the right to vote. This what I am faced with. Democrats (Obama) allowed 1.7 millon mexicans to become citizens when American are faced daily with no jobs. As you know he believes in same sex marriages.Republicans (Romney) believes that satan was Jesus Christ's Brother. He does not believe in the trinity,therefore he is not a christian. These are only a few things I have problems with both. what is your answer??? FRUSTRATED Very well said Travis. I agree. Now this is the question
