We must be more positive in our efforts to build our communities.
Here is what I see as a major problem.
We are too slow to build and too quick to disrupt and tear down.
When there is a discussion about building, the excuses fly. Some just come right out and say "I don't trust black people." It takes us a long time to support our people. It could take years for us to agree on something.
To the contrary, we will quickly tear our people down!
Shea Moisture, Chrisette Michelle, Gladys Knight, Steve Harvey, Tavis Smiley and Cornel West have felt the sting.
Some of us make sure we don't support black colleges, black banks, local black owned landscaping, candle makers, jewelry makers, paint artists, mechanics, massage therapists, etc. We will organize overnight to STOP support for our own. Overnight....
Tom Joyner discussed Kamala Harris' announcement to run for President in 2020 on his show today. He said that text messages IMMEDIATELY started pouring in to say, "We won't support her because she is married to a white man."
Why do we find ways to defeat our own agendas so effectively?
We need to change this behavior.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
