  1. Fighting for a false sense of integration without privileges… It was a detriment to our people…. The old civil rights christian generation failed Us…. Yet the Torah aka old testament doctrine , the Creator spoke about segregation,staying away from your enemies in the Deuteronomy book of laws.

  2. The More I get Older the More I respectfully disagree with Malcolm X's Black separatism. Why don't white people who are white separatists and anti-Black move back to Europe why do white nationalists get to claim America a country our ancestors built the foundations of but I need to move to another land? Why don't white Americans move? Why do I have to accommodate them? Black Nationalists and Pan Africanists always claim that Blacks never did for themselves and looked to whites but in reality, we did and had many prosperous towns, and white folks sabotaged it. One of those Black towns was called Oscar Ville is under Lake Lanier in Georgia.

  3. If you want to eat at a nice restaurant perhaps you can't get what you are looking for from within the community. It's similar to the issue with hair pieces and products, retail groceries etc.

  4. Can you imagine men and women trying to patronize Black Wall Street in sleepwear, bonnets and sagging pants? I can’t. The reason that’s so prevalent now is because we don’t have enough Black owned businesses in our community as we did prior to integration. I respectfully told two of my clients that bonnets/sleepwear wasn’t allowed in my business. I would’ve been okay if they never returned. But since we don’t own our supermarkets, etc…we see all manner of ratchetness. The civil rights generation had good intentions. We definitely need to learn from their mistakes but I’m not going to hold my breathe for the majority of us.

  5. Dr Martin Luther King Jr said he may have lead his people into a burning building. I believe he was about to do an about face. Due to that, the white gate keepers said oh no you don't. That's why they took him out. He knew too much and he would no long gate keep for the white man.
