Posted By: DAVID JOHNSON on November 29, 2012 Greetings to all my name is David Johnson ''The Blog King'' one of the senior members of ''BLACK IN AMERICA'' take a minute and read and understand what im about to say I thank you in advance for reading and your feedback, this is for every black person in america . Here is a serious question im bringing to the community of ''Black In America'' HBCU and black people all over the United States. Since President Barack Obama achieved what most Blacks (if not all Blacks) thought was impossible, this call for “Black unity” has been an overarching theme of everything the African American community (multiple and singular) desires to achieve in the 21st Century. People who have never agreed on the same thing, at the same time, EVER, since someone suggested we just walk away from slavery, suddenly got this “lovin’ feelin’,” conditional – of course. The divide in Black America is as large as ever. The “my way or the highway” mentality is prevalent, despite Obama ‘s name being invoked at every turn. Stuff like, “If Barack Obama can be elected President of the United States, we mostly certainly can come together.” It’s sickening, largely because it’s most commonly voiced by many who didn’t believe Obama could be elected President in the first place. The vision behind his candidacy was absent in many that now have had an epiphany. Most had to be run over, literally, by the change they were standing in front of. That epiphany is that “some people” realized they were about to be left behind, and Black people never met a bandwagon they couldn’t catch. Opportunities for change are often lost in the “debate” (if you want to call it that) of what change is and who is really capable of change. Whether the debate is generational or ideological, neither side of the debate really believes that the other has the answer to bring real change into reality. The “age of Obama” has changed one reality about America, but whether it changes the state of Black communities has yet to be seen. When you look into some of the things Harry has been trying to push on the members of this site ''black people need there own land ,and black AMERICA needs a prophet'' we got to many high priced prophets now that pass around the offering plate every 5 min in a 3 hr span by the time I leave church im worst of then when I got there because we need the community churches to open there doors everyday. Harry said we need our own land it made me think .why does it take something bad to happen for black people to come together ,look at Travon Martin killing and how black people came together yes white people came out and support the cause but it was a black thang now just the other day a 17 year old got killed by another white man for playing his music to loud, im sure there will be a cry of black unity if the Justice system dont act properly Al Sharpton , Jesse Jackson and all of the so called freedom fighters will join hand again singing we shall over come ! The fact is, if we had waited for Black unity to come about on the simple question of whether Barack’s candidacy was credible before we supported him, Obama would have never been elected, because the divide was in evidence and deeply entrenched. One side had to do what they had to do. The other side jumped on the bandwagon after the outcome was in evidence. That’s a fact. The call for Black unity is often a call to disrupt the opportunity for change. So when certain people call for change, why don’t I believe them? Whether it was the runaway or the enslaved, the freedman (emancipated slave), or the free man (Blacks who had never been enslaved), the emergence of the so-called “Black leader” voice in Frederick Douglass or Martin Delany, Booker T. Washington or W.E.B. DuBois, Marcus Garvey or A. Phillip Randolph, Walter White or Charles Houston, Martin Luther King or Roy Wilkins (or Thurgood Marshall), Elijas and Malcolm, the Panthers and US, Farrakhan and Jesse, the Baptist and the Methodists, Christian and Muslims, the Crips and Bloods, Rich and poor, dark skinned and light skinned and the examples go on and on, Black America never operated from a single united point of view. The largest (and most disruptive) divides in the history of Black America stemmed out of questions of when it was time to change, why we needed to change, how the change would occur, and of course something we can never ignore, who would lead the change. Many times, most change agents were of the same ideology, all wanting to change our realities. Others were just agents…period. Change was no where on their agenda, though disruption was. Provocateurs are as common as activists in our community and we don’t recognize interlopers like we once did. There is no test for “change agents.” Just like there is no test for change. It just happens when it happens, but change is stonewalled more times than not. Blacks in America just have never agreed on how the progress we say we all want can ever come about. The divide often stems from realities of what’s real versus the realities of what could be. There’s always someone who either can see the new reality or won’t see the new reality. The investiture in the status quo always seems to conquer the idealism that encompasses change. The call for unity is often a fraudulent call to accept compromised realities. At other times, the call is made by false prophecies and even more false prophets. The legitimacy questions of who’s more legitimate than whom. And, of course, legitimacy is defined by no construct of one’s own. Whatever the reason, ideas about progress somehow never give way to unity. It’s never about unity, but the “winners” and “losers” in the cause of change. Rarely, change is the winner because of the mindset that if we all can’t win, none of us will win. We can’t move the ball up the field ten yards at a time. It’s a touchdown or interception on a “Hail Mary” pass. Some of us can’t win now and others win later. Because those at the bottom of the well don’t trust that there will be a later. So nobody goes anywhere. Just look at the absence of change in every city in America. The evidence of “lost battles” are in evidence. Change is not in evidence. Every organization, group, cluster, “movement” I’ve ever been involved in, over three decades, was undermined on the “unity” tip. Even in the 21st Century “change movement,” the vestiges of Black disunity that causes the Black divide in the 19th and 20th Centuries continue to persist. It doesn’t mean change won’t occur. It just means some will catch the bandwagon on the other side (if they ever catch it at all). The call for unity is the toughest challenge for Black America. It’s almost as impossible as electing a Black President. At least I can say I’ve seen one of them in my lifetime. Now let me ask your ,what are your thoughts towards unity ,real unity in black america ,,Put all religion aside RIGHT NOW and lets brainstorm this thing called UNITY IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY !

The sentiment expressed here about black unity on this board is wonderful, and no disrespect to your blog but is it realistic? Unity, on THIS board? When we all know that what goes on here for the most part is what has been going on here for 'x' number of years? And does unity on the board mean the the instigators on this board i.e. Saint Jake and Robert Powell should never again address the misrepresentations and falsehoods they come on here spreading? Some people aren't clear on what unity on the board is really supposed to mean maybe that's why they haven't responded?

I feel you Truth...but it is always our duty to take the high road and to love those who have not yet learned to love themselves. In doing so you expose who is for real...and who is just bumping their lips.

Stephen -- More than 1 million supporters took our survey last week, sharing feedback on their 2012 campaign experience and how they'd like to see us move forward. While we're still sorting through all of the responses, I wanted to share some initial results: -- An overwhelming majority of survey respondents reported feeling welcomed and included, that their time was used effectively, and that there was a clear understanding of how their work directly helped re-elect President Obama. -- Among those of you who volunteered at least a few hours, a majority went into a field office, though many of you got involved instead through the campaign's online tools such as Dashboard and the call tool. -- About 1 in 10 survey respondents are interested in running for office at some point, using their organizing skills to continue fighting for real and lasting change. That level of political engagement is inspiring. -- Almost half of all survey respondents forwarded campaign emails, and more than one-third communicated with friends on Facebook -- both great ways to pass along information about the President's positions and plans, as well as opportunities to get involved. -- Nearly 80 percent of survey takers want to keep volunteering, primarily around the President's legislative agenda. Many of you shared comments and personal anecdotes. Here are just a few that made me smile: "When our field office opened, my husband, 12-year-old daughter, and I were there almost every day. My daughter and I even took a leadership role -- she was our tally captain! This is the kind of experience that changes your life. My children not only have a better understanding of the political system but also have a firsthand experience of how community engagement can make a difference. On Election Night, they felt that difference. They were so excited for the President because they had a sense of ownership -- they had personally helped him achieve the win. On Election Night, I truly believed we were all winners." -- Kerry, California "It made me feel good to see the enthusiasm of volunteers at the local level (who become friends) ... great to see teens through seniors, men and women, any race and faith all working together for something we believed in (even if we weren't there for the same issues) ... it assured me I was doing the right thing..." -- William, Virginia I feel more confident as an individual -- I can make a difference in election results! I was talking about this with my son today, he's a public school teacher, and he has new faith in our electoral system also! Let's keep doing it -- this is democracy as it should be!" -- Andrea, California There's a lot more to be proud of -- check out this blog post for some other incredible numbers on the work you all did in the field. And here are a few comments from supporters like you about the road ahead. We fought for the chance to continue moving our country forward for the next four years, and it's up to each one of us to follow through on this remarkable opportunity: "This organization has tapped into the enthusiasm of Americans that were previously on the sidelines of the political process. These Americans are now fully engaged and aware of the policies that are being advanced that will impact their lives and the lives of future generations. They are excited, ready, and willing to do whatever is within their power to influence policy makers to pass legislation that reflects and responds to the issues of our times." -- Rita, Virginia "Create an engaged community of people that keeps the momentum alive and ensures that progressive policy is implemented at local, state, and national levels. Community here is the operative word! Build and enhance local organizing groups. Would be happy to be included in a local group and lead such a group." -- Merida, Illinois "Don't let the energy of the re-election slip through your fingers. This is a very powerful network of people." -- Joel, Texas We're going to put your survey responses to good use. Over the next month or two, a team of campaign staff from across the country is working on a project to document and analyze the work we did over the past 19 months, identifying both strengths and areas for improvement. Our goal is to pass along what we've learned from the 2012 campaign. You're the reason President Barack Obama was re-elected in 2012, and your input from surveys and calls is crucial to this project. So please stay tuned. We're putting together a final report that will be available to the public, so that your voices continue to shape the future. Our work is far from done -- you helped make sure of that. President Obama, as always, is counting on us to help pass his agenda and continue to make this country a better place for every American. There's more to come. Thanks for all you've done and will do. Jeremy Jeremy Bird National Field Director Obama for America Thursday, November 29th 2012 at 11:32AM |

there is a thousand reasons we can give why black unity will not work ,,,can we focus on the positive and give reasons why ,or how we can bring some kind of unity to our people now we might not be able to walk hand in hand and sing kum ba yah but there are measures we can take to bring our people together ! this i do know ! lets look at few programs that work !

The change that I've been looking for is in the condition of the Black Neighborhood. We tell our children that the slaves help to build America, but when they look around their environment they see burnt out and abandoned building. Why can"t the Black man build, repair, or modernize his own neighborhoods?

Helen very good information ,,,, We can go block by block and build up the neighborhood you know Ihappen to know a program called The Better Block project started in April, 2010, when a group of community organizers, neighbors, and property owners gathered together to revitalize a single commercial block in an underused neighborhood corridor. The area was filled with vacant properties, wide streets, and few amenities for people who lived within walking distance. The group brought together all of the resources from the community and converted the block into a walkable, bikeable neighborhood destination for people of all ages complete with bike lanes, cafe seating, trees, plants, pop-up businesses, and lighting. The project was developed to show the city how the block could be revived and improve area safety, health, and economics if ordinances that restricted small business and multi-modal infrastructure were removed. Since that time, Better Block projects have been developed throughout the nation with many of the temporary infrastructure improvements and businesses made permanent. take a look and see if this is part of the ideal you are talking about . http://betterblock.org/how-to-build-a-bett...

David, I was probably out of place to comment here but since you asked, it was an email I got from Obama for America. I am hopeful President Obama will have a successful second term is all. And I think the biggest reason he could have is because he is listening to what people want.

There's always some degree of unity, but the degree of separation keeps the circle broken. Few will unify, however more will choose to divide. Until the Black community as a whole want a unified community without division it will take one person to change and another wanting change to take place. Then we will have completed the circle. Being Realistic..a community survives, grows, strengtens, loves and heals when all are on one accord. It will start then. Friday, November 30th 2012 at 4:46PM |

Hello Helen, You have a lot of concern about our neighborhood, but no concern for us having our own country. That seems stupid and backwards to me because a country is bigger than a neighborhood, am I right. Friday, November 30th 2012 at 5:16PM |
|
David, If you go block by block building up the neighborhood you are still taking care of a piece of real-estate that belongs to White America, am I right. Would you not rather have your own country to build up? I would, but I know that you think that you are smarter than I am. Friday, November 30th 2012 at 5:23PM |
|
Ms. MiLsraesl, The one person to start the change is me, Prophet Harry. Likewise, was not Moses the one that started the change for the Children of Israel? Was it not Mohammed that started the change for the Arabian? Well, who else can start our change except it be our very own prophet? Friday, November 30th 2012 at 5:29PM |
|
David, If you are sincere and looking for the truth then let me be. If I have to write what comforts you or you will delete me then you are not look or wanting to change. If I am lying then jump on me, but if I am telling the truth then why do you fight me and call yourself intelligent? Friday, November 30th 2012 at 5:35PM |

@Steve I have to give you a Scooby Doo reply on that post..."uh-uh?" Friday, November 30th 2012 at 5:50PM |

HARRY WE not going to need you on this one, we will wait, when you get your land and nation then we will move to where your set up at OK BUT THANKS FOR hum ! right now we dont want to argue,fuss, fight or be called stupid ,we just want to mediate on what we got going right here ,when I say right here I mean right here on this blog ,right here in this country right here block by block person by person to the call of unity in black america ! So with all this in mind Harry do NOT TRY TO HIGH JACK THIS BLOG WITH YOUR MADNESS OR IT WILL BE DELETED ! Friday, November 30th 2012 at 6:02PM |

James, do you think change will not come through our government? I never watched Scooby Doo much, just trying to understand your meaning.
Friday, November 30th 2012 at 6:12PM |

@Steve Government is a seesaw, one side enacts when the other side gets in they retracts. Only change that is sustainable is when people come together and infuse change. Oh, the Scooby Doo statement, it’s a character expression in sound and look when something didn’t make sense. It’s me just trying to be a wise…’A’ Friday, November 30th 2012 at 6:27PM |

Steve the government cant do nothing on this one ,this is something ''black america'' is going to do on our own no funding or special council from the government the goverment got us in this mess http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/Pe... the resources are going to come from private black owned business investors that want to clean up the block ,and giving the people hope which will ignite the fire for the call of unity ,,,,, working together hand n hand shoulder to shoulder to restore the mindset of 'black in america ,,,,through buying the abandon buildings and fixing them up brings jobs and ownership !

Here is a warp comparison. Drug dealers understand, they pool their funds together for a bigger score and each takes there portion. Wineno’s understand as well, they pool their coins together to get that bottle and they all drink from the same bottle...Get my point, working together for a common cause, or working together with common sense both produce results for the Whole.

James, I thought that's how I remembered Scooby Doo. David, I will check out Better Block. Thank-you both. Friday, November 30th 2012 at 7:40PM |

Alright in order for this to work we must have a plan right I offer you this simple solutions that I think will help. The Bible teaches that we can tell that we've passed from “death” into “life” because we “love the brotherhood.” Love is at The Root of “Community”—real Community. Social beings, as God created us, have to live according to certain values, norms, rules, regulations that promote peace between each other, so we have to get back to “How do we learn to love?” You cannot love what you don't know, or what you don't understand. And the problem is that we are not being taught a sufficient Knowledge of Self that would allow us to love who we are, and how God created us. First: In a society like this where you hate the color of your skin, the flatness of your nose, the thickness of your lips, you hate your African origin, it is easy, then, for you to molest or mistreat what you don't love. So just as Martin Luther King taught us through the pulpit how to love an Enemy that was mistreating us, and now we are mistreating one another, then we have to get back in that same pulpit and teach Black people who they are in The Eyes of God, not in the eyes of man; and then cause us to accept social relationships based on immutable laws that God has set down, that would make us relate to one another as black brothers and sisters. In so doing, we lose the envy, the enmity, the jealousy, and all of that that has put us into a degraded state. Next, we have to elevate our women. If we want to rise, you rise not on the strength of the man. You rise on the strength of the woman. That's why said “Where there are no decent women there are no decent men, for it is the woman who is the Mother of Civilization.” And lastly: You know, we have many wealthy Black men and women; and all of them, to the best of my knowledge, have good hearts. They really want to give back to the community,and support what we are doing but they are not guided as to how to do it. So our basketball players can come and they'll put up a little basketball place where we can go and shoot hoops; others will do little community projects, but it's “you doing yours over there,” “me doing mine over here.” And we're giving back; and our hearts are comforted. But to our great Congressman, who has great influence in Congress; our great leaders: Suppose we got together and pulled our wealthy brothers and sisters into a room and said to them: “Look brothers, look sisters:while we are doing the block by block Let's pool our resources, and let's buy 20 million acres of land,” for land is the basis of economic development? America is for sale—but others are buying it, and we should be the owners of it, since we worked to produce it! So if we pool the wealth of our wealthy, then start Agribusiness and take it away from the Merchants of Death who are killing the American people by producing degenerated foods, genetically-modified organisms that are literally killing not only our people, but the American people. Think about it! You're being killed and you don't even know it! But if we pooled our resources, we could create Agribusiness: Unite the farmers in the South with the markets in the cities; we could begin to produce food; freeze it. We could learn how to trade: Take the cotton, make it into lint; turn it into cloth. Start creating our own garments and our own styles so you don't look like a prostitute when you're not one! Let's get busy and do something to help ourselves! Thank you. Friday, November 30th 2012 at 8:15PM |

I JUST GOT THIS FROM A BLOG POSTED BY SIEBRA Fraser’s economics message comes as African Americans are hoping that President Barack Obama will do something special to deal with the Black jobless rate, which remains in double digits even as the national average has dipped below eight percent. Fraser says it is unfair to put pressure sole on politicians and challenged the audience to take a lesson from communities of Jews, Asians, East Indians, and Arabs. “Every immigrant group that has ever come to this country is now the number one employers of their own people,” he stressed. “We too must become the number one employers of our own people. Why? Because the only way to raise up the poor is to create work and jobs for your own people.” Announcing an entrepreneurship conference he is holding this summer, Fraser said he believes it will take a full century for African Americans to gain the strength that they could have by establishing their own businesses, employing each other and supporting each other economically. But the key is unity, he says. “The idea that the Black community can exercise affective power – political or otherwise – without simultaneously exercising economic power is fantasy…So, we have to make sure we fix this,” he said. “When we were unified around slavery, we freed ourselves…We were unified around civil rights, voting rights and public access in media…We have to be unified now around building wealth…We have everything we need to succeed except each other.” Friday, November 30th 2012 at 10:07PM |

All, The first thing we need to do is to decide on a unifier. We need to identify a cause to unite behind. MLK, the boycott, 98% for the President, etc. Ideas are too splintered. We all have to get in the same book on the same page. There must be a specific agenda. What is the most pressing issue for the people? We need to agee on that. We need to agree to agree, focus. We need to agree that we can do this ou selves and not wait for the whiteman's help. NOBODY WILL DO FOR YOU LIKE YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF. We need to descide individually, that we each have a responsibility and be willing to take on that responsibility. If we focus our energy on one task at a time, success is assured. Introspection is #1. What do YOU want as an individual? Because if you don't believe you can make a change, you have nothing to offer. Now how to help yourself? Remember, You have not 'arrived yet' and there is work to be done individually on one's self. Once your mind set has changed and you believe in yourself, then you can effect change. Learn your history and discard the lies you have been taught. ONE LITTLE WOMAN STARTED THE BUS BOYCOTT. Monday, December 3rd 2012 at 11:45AM |

During the sixties there was no Barack Obama making eloquent, intellectual and moving speeches there was Adam Clayton Powell Minister Abyssinian Baptist Church in New York, Dr. Martin Luther King, Atlanta, Georgia, Asa Philip Randolph, Jacksonville, Florida, Civil Rights Activist, Rutledge Pearson, Jacksonville, Florida Civil Rights Activist and Reverend Galamison Minister in New York to name a few involved in the school boycotts to eliminate segregated education. These were real people with dedication and a vision to make progressive change to benefit Blacks. Their legacy will live, but too many Blacks have forgotten them. There have always been role models for Black men and women, but truth be told Blacks must take responsibility and accountability to make progressive change by unifying. Making a commitment that needs to last beyond street protests, religious radicalism, songs, dance, videos, raps and pledges. The commitment that lasts beyond the doors of churches on Sunday mornings designed to make Blacks “feel good” and accept their plight of second class citizens, diminishing political power, and dwindling economic development. Where do Blacks go now that the jubilation and excitement is over? The time to work is now, the time to establish a vision and mission is now. Civic and community problems still are alive and well, in order to solve these challenges it will take the collective wills and hard work that was found during the 50’s to 80’s. That self determination seems to have died; evaporated even as the lyrics of “We Shall Over Come” have evaporated from the minds of millions of Blacks because of their perceived freedoms that are as transparent as their abilities to seek to improve themselves. How can a people that died for the right to be educated look down and curse education?? Satisfied in too many cases to live month to month on welfare, food stamps and a third class education. Complaining because they are so use to getting a third class handout that their cries seem to sound like the cries of slaves that accepted their servitude with exuberance and satisfaction. The comments by Malcolm X rings truthful even in the 21st century, “it’s time for us to submerge our differences and realize that it is best for us to first see that we have the same problem, a common problem, a problem that will make you catch hell.” So called Black political leaders complain, blame, degrade and demean President Obama, but my question is after all these years, why have THEY not motivated Blacks to improve their lives instead of blaming President Obama? Why are they not visiting inner city schools, homeless shelters, welfare lines, food stamp facilities to work to give a hand up not lip service and empty promises? How can our religious leaders lay claim to being like Jesus or disciples when they tear down President Obama, lyrically damning him just as Judas Iscariot sold out Jesus for 30 pieces of gold? President Obama is not Jesus, but he represents our country to the world. He should be respected, held accountable, but not openly disrespected. Why wait for a Black man that is supposed to be the President of the United States, not the President of just Blacks. Many people will disagree with me, but that is the beauty of living in the nation of freedoms, we can agree to disagree and not be jailed, beaten or killed like in other countries. I agree that President Obama must be held accountable, but he cannot cure all the social ills that plague Blacks. Just as our economy was destroyed by someone else, Blacks have allowed themselves to be castrated physically, psychologically, economically and educationally by blaming others for their inaction, inattention, and ignorance. If you do not believe me, look at our inactive parents that refuse to come to parent-teacher conferences, look at the lack of support for school PTO’s, School Advisory Councils that need parents to participate and support, and listen to the excuses that drown out the cries of screaming babies as girls lay on their backs and make babies, but refuse to respect teachers and learn to read to improve their lives first before spreading their legs to become impregnated and again spreading the same legs to give birth to illegitimate children. Don’t be mad at me for the truth, what would Dr. King say now??? The cycle continues each generation, becoming a slave to welfare and drowning deeper in Hellfare and poverty. Too many Black boys would rather rap, dance, be comedians and sag than engage in learning. They bully their peers that want to be intellectuals, scholars, scientists, educators, politicians. Too many Black young men would rather be hard and ignorant instead of educated and empowered. Anthony Butler, Jr, Founder of E3 Business Group displays a unique change during his transformation in his unique presentation that shows how you can grow from thug to entrepreneurial. This empowering presentation should be seen by all Black youth, “Accuse Yourself of Success!” http://e3businessgroup.com/ Malcolm X made a profound statement that we all catch hell, ”whether you’re educated or illiterate, whether you live on the boulevard or in the alley, you’re going to catch hell.” “We’re all in the same boat and we all are going to catch the same hell.” The idea is “If we have differences, let us differ in the closet; when we come out in front, let us not have anything to argue about until we finish making progressive and lasting changes in Black people. It should not take the death of Trayvon Martin or any more young Black men or women to unify people against injustices in the criminal system and self hatred in our communities. It should not take the threat of cutting welfare, diminishing of food stamps and elimination of governmental handouts for Blacks to finally get they need EDUCATION, Are Blacks like the Hebrews wondering the desert until several generations die before God can use them? IS that to be our legacy for the next centuries? Blacks Can’t Wait On the President: The President has made numerous speeches to what end? Blacks have to WANT to change, WANT to work to be better, WANT to have political and economic equality. Until then Blacks will be politically, economically and educationally weak and ignored. Blaming others even those they elect to fix social challenges that are decades old. Change can only come from within, when Blacks are tired of being beaten into economic slavery of poverty, the slavery of psychological ignorance of accepting failure in schools, enjoying the self destruction of drugs in their communities, the visual slavery of music videos that glorify free s*x, cultural violence, the slavery of producing children that are born into ignorance and taught ignorance, will learn ignorance and stay ignorant until they are jailed or killed and companies make money from them as incarcerated slaves… If you are angry good, go out and volunteer at a soup kitchen, a homeless shelter, the library to teach people to read. Go to your child’s school and support teachers not curse them out for trying to teach your child. Tutor and mentor a young person, take yourself back to school for a skill or a degree. If you cannot do these simple things to better a better person then you are always a part of the problem and not part of the solution. The institution of slavery is still present and strong, but instead of the fields there is Hellfare, Drugfare, s*xfare, and denial ending in death and destruction.
