Say That Ish: Morgan Freeman No Likey Black History Month+Spike Lee Says He’s “Poor”
Morgan Freeman says the concept of a month dedicated to black history is “ridiculous.” Here’s what he had to say about it in a “60 Minutes” interview airing on Sunday:
“You’re going to relegate my history to a month? I don’t want a black history month. Black history is American history…I am going to stop calling you a white man and I’m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.”
Black History Month has roots in historian Carter G. Woodson’s Negro History Week, which he designated in 1926 as the second week in February to mark the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. Woodson said he hoped the week could one day be eliminated — when black history would become fundamental to American history.
Morgan also said there is no “white history month” and says the only way to get rid of racism is to “stop talking about it. He also believes the labels “black” and “white” are an obstacle to beating racism. So his newish relationship with his white girlfriend he supposedly left his wife of 24 years for is his way of showing he’s colorblind? I’ll keep my comments to myself on this one.
In other news, Page Six reported yesterday that Spike Lee told Britain’s Sunday Observer, that despite a Manhattan townhouse, Martha’s Vineyard home and kids in private school, he is not wealthy:
He told me he had always intended his kids to go, as he did, to state schools. “But my wife put the kibosh on that,” he said. Lee balks at being described as wealthy. “It’s not rich rich,” he told me. “Rich is Spielberg. Lucas. Gates. Steve Jobs. Jay-Z! Bruce Springsteen. I’m not complaining. But that’s money. Will Smith. Oprah Winfrey - that’s a ton of money. Compared to them, I’m on welfare!”
Um, ok Spikey. I guess “wealth” is relative.

W/E, I like the idea of black history month because it at least allows the public FOOL system to focus on some positive aspect of blackness. Since most black kids are stuck in those hell holes, let them feel good about themlsevles for 28 days. If he PERSONALLY does not want to be seen as “black” then he shouldn’t exploit his blackness for things like winning undeserving academy awards and other honors. He has made a career off playing the magical negro but he doesn’t want to be a negro? LOL. It’s so funny how people want to pick and choose.
Spike Lee, no one cares if you aren’t ballin’ like Oprah. Try making a decent film that people actually want to see and stop guilt-tripping black people for not supporting all the crap you have made since the 90’s.
Ugh.

It wouldn’t need to be talked about if it was just called history it would be a class that you have to take and pass to graduate. He should have said to re do all of these fucking textbooks to incorporate the tip of the iceberg that is our beautifully rich and successful history they discuss during the shortest month of the year

I agree with Morgan to certain degree… Black History shouldn’t be relegated to just one short month… It’s American History dammit!

I think that black history should be apart of american history. but after taking a world history class from a black perspective i know that will never happened. there was 2 much knowledge in that class that would be left out if put together.

I agree. We are Americans. So like he said there isn’t a white history month and if Black could’ve handled up back in the day it just might have been a White History month. Our people invented the majority of the stuff use in the world today and since we could patent it back then it was stolen just like they steal everything else!!!!!

I never said that it was “enough” and it damn sure isnt the most accurate. However, I just dont see anything at all wrong with it.

As for Spike, maybe his frame of mind will continue to keep him out of the poor house. All I got from his statement is that he’s more humble about his finances and not stunting to impress anybody. I have no problem with him.

I’ve been saying that integration was the worst thing that happend to us…
I feel we werent prepared as a race to integrate.. we still was trying to figure out who we were as a people!!! We had only been free for like 100 years or so…If we would have gotten our own COMMUNITY together and STRONG…we wouldnt have let all this happen to us. WE were so concerned about having what the white man has that we lost ourselves in the process!!!
And the white man knew exactly what was gonna happen when they allowed us to integrate…
I dont see anything wrong with seprate but equal…

I am: You are right. But segregation or De-segregation will solve nothing. We have segregation in our own communities, so how can we demand something when we ourselves can’t get our act together?
This goes as far back as slavery. The kings and queens of Africa were not tricked, they sold the ones who where essentially “Useless” in their society and that is where slavery started. Timbuktu (sp) my people. Now it has evolved to something else. Now I agree with Morgan has said to a certain extent. Though I feel its a month dedicated to teaching us “Our” history, it is also a month that the people disect our race and essentially feed us the scraps that they “believe” we need.

[quote comment="370719"]UNTIL THEY INCORPORATE BLACK PEOPLE (besides Malcolm and Martin) IN THE TEXTBOOKS, BLACK HISTORY MONTH NEEDS TO STAY!!!
As for Spike, maybe his frame of mind will continue to keep him out of the poor house. All I got from his statement is that he’s more humble about his finances and not stunting to impress anybody. I have no problem with him.[/quote]
I feel the same way. If they cut it out then what? Its not like people are going to jump and be like “yes lets teach the children about Africa!” Black people barely even teach their children about African history.

I’ve been saying that integration was the worst thing that happend to us…
I feel we werent prepared as a race to integrate.. we still was trying to figure out who we were as a people!!! We had only been free for like 100 years or so…If we would have gotten our own COMMUNITY together and STRONG…we wouldnt have let all this happen to us. WE were so concerned about having what the white man has that we lost ourselves in the process!!!
And the white man knew exactly what was gonna happen when they allowed us to integrate…

Thats why I prefered Malcolm to Martin. I respect MLK…I really do but it seems that the Civil Rights movement had those specific demonstrations for the public to have “pity” for us. Dont give my my rights b/c you pity me, give me my damn rights because as a human I deserve it!
Plus I like the fact that Malcolm was like, “if you dont want to give us a decent school, screw you…we will make one our damn self!” Same way with businesses, etc. Im from the south and the mentality is the same way…waiting on some white man to give them something. Sometimes, you need to just make your own way.

Um No. I highly disagree. If we had “SEPARATE BUT EQUAL” We would not have what we have today, because it wasn’t truly SEPARATE BUT EQUAL. It was SEPARATE AND UNEQUAL. We would def not have Obama in office and to tell you the truth, the people who would be fighting the war would be solely minorities. The game will be different okay. As far as integration goes, I think it was the best thing that could’ve happened to our race in my opinion.

I agree. We are Americans. So like he said there isn’t a white history month and if Black could’ve handled up back in the day it just might have been a White History month. Our people invented the majority of the stuff use in the world today and since we could patent it back then it was stolen just like they steal everything else!!!!![/quote]
Word, the TRUTH is that they knew they would never survive without us.[/quote]
For real. No clocks, lights, traffic signals, gas mask, electronic devices,peanut butter and the super soaker watergun…LOL funny but true!

Exactly. I love MLK but Malcolm knew that we wasn’t going to win without a FIGHT. He was all about sticking together, mixing and matching is why we look a fool nowadays. People buying “our” souls for basically nothing smh

Thats why I prefered Malcolm to Martin. I respect MLK…I really do but it seems that the Civil Rights movement had those specific demonstrations for the public to have “pity” for us. Dont give my my rights b/c you pity me, give me my damn rights because as a human I deserve it!
Plus I like the fact that Malcolm was like, “if you dont want to give us a decent school, screw you…we will make one our damn self!” Same way with businesses, etc. Im from the south and the mentality is the same way…waiting on some white man to give them something. Sometimes, you need to just make your own way.[/quote]
Exactly…I dont really care for Martin..I mean I respect him and all, but Malcolm was about HIS people first!!!
I dont think Malcolm gave a damn about integrating with the white man…hell he was already integrated..(his mama was half white) and that didnt get him no where!!!
If I would have been able to get over the fact that I couldnt eat pork, I would have been a muslim back then…
Plus Malcolm was sexy to me…He had that Obama swag going on!!

[quote comment="370730"]I am: You are right. But segregation or De-segregation will solve nothing. We have segregation in our own communities, so how can we demand something when we ourselves can’t get our act together?
This goes as far back as slavery. The kings and queens of Africa were not tricked, they sold the ones who where essentially “Useless” in their society and that is where slavery started. Timbuktu (sp) my people. Now it has evolved to something else. Now I agree with Morgan has said to a certain extent. Though I feel its a month dedicated to teaching us “Our” history, it is also a month that the people disect our race and essentially feed us the scraps that they “believe” we need.[/quote]
Oooh Foley, get out of my head!! I was just thinking that.. especially the last part of what you said.

Exactly. I love MLK but Malcolm knew that we wasn’t going to win without a FIGHT. He was all about sticking together, mixing and matching is why we look a fool nowadays. People buying “our” souls for basically nothing smh[/quote]
I love the both of them. MLK was perfect for his time and so was Malcolm X in his time. They contributed equally to the civil rights movement. They just did it in their own way. Look what happened to Malcolm when he tried to teach his own, they shot him. Who did MLK get shot by? The other.

So Agree!!!! I respected Malcolm’s attitude more!!!![/quote]
Martin was a lot like Malcolm when he was younger more radical than rational. Martin I believe (the world is about to blow up) became a pacifier for the govt.

You are taking Malcolm before he traveled on the Haj. After he came back from the Pilgrimage, he was a different person. He still looked out for his own, but the white man wasn’t the only enemy.

I agree with Mr. Freeman to a certain degree. Since there are other monthly celebrations-women’s month, hispanic month, etc… we should just create a white history month and call it a day. America is becoming browner, more interacial, more transparent nation with time.
so screw it- everybody gets their own month. Problem solved.

So true! If we would have listened to Malcolm we would have been better![/quote]
Think about it what did we actually need from them?[/quote]
I’ve been saying that integration was the worst thing that happend to us…
I feel we werent prepared as a race to integrate.. we still was trying to figure out who we were as a people!!! We had only been free for like 100 years or so…If we would have gotten our own COMMUNITY together and STRONG…we wouldnt have let all this happen to us. WE were so concerned about having what the white man has that we lost ourselves in the process!!!
And the white man knew exactly what was gonna happen when they allowed us to integrate…
I dont see anything wrong with seprate but equal…
Lawd ya’ll done got me started!![/quote]
Um No. I highly disagree. If we had “SEPARATE BUT EQUAL” We would not have what we have today, because it wasn’t truly SEPARATE BUT EQUAL. It was SEPARATE AND UNEQUAL. We would def not have Obama in office and to tell you the truth, the people who would be fighting the war would be solely minorities. The game will be different okay. As far as integration goes, I think it was the best thing that could’ve happened to our race in my opinion.[/quote]
Think about it like this..
What if the white man had enough balls to give us everything they had in their communities..equal schooling , equal jobs, equal pay etc…then there would have been no need to integrate with them. Thus we would have been able to strengthen our own community without losing our integrity..
I get what you are saying..but if things were truly EQUAL….black people would have been very powerful!!

Exactly…I dont really care for Martin..I mean I respect him and all, but Malcolm was about HIS people first!!!
I dont think Malcolm gave a damn about integrating with the white man…hell he was already integrated..(his mama was half white) and that didnt get him no where!!!
If I would have been able to get over the fact that I couldnt eat pork, I would have been a muslim back then…
Plus Malcolm was sexy to me…He had that Obama swag going on!![/quote]
You are taking Malcolm before he traveled on the Haj. After he came back from the Pilgrimage, he was a different person. He still looked out for his own, but the white man wasn’t the only enemy.[/quote]
Even still, he wasnt trying to really integrate…I dont think he was allowing the white man to join his new organization…they could donate money but they couldnt join… (if I’m not mistaken)

In the end Malcom was for unity. After he made the pilgrimage and saw all of those races come together he kind of had a change of heart as far as Whiteman this & White man that, buthe was still for the Black people, but he knew he needed to broaden he views a little more when it came to other race. He changed and they didn’t like that so they assassinated him.
In the End Blacks just don’t know how to stick together. We are haters of our ownself and it’s sad.

Exactly. I love MLK but Malcolm knew that we wasn’t going to win without a FIGHT. He was all about sticking together, mixing and matching is why we look a fool nowadays. People buying “our” souls for basically nothing smh[/quote]
I love the both of them. MLK was perfect for his time and so was Malcolm X in his time. They contributed equally to the civil rights movement. They just did it in their own way. Look what happened to Malcolm when he tried to teach his own, they shot him. Who did MLK get shot by? The other.[/quote]
Why did I just say the last two sentences like yesterday. Killed by the type of ppl they were trying to help. Damn near verbatum. Can I adopt you as my YBF twin sister?

Keep your money in your community…”We” have a problem with accepting the fact the we are black!!!! We think we have made it just cause we are the only blacks on the block!!

It’s sad cuz we soooo lacking on unity. I watch the Jews by me and how they have everyone in check…esp the police just off of unity.[/quote]
Only black people lack unity. Asians, Jews, hell even white people stick together but black folks? Like crabs in a bucket…(NOT ALL but u catch my drift)[/quote]
I agree! A lot of black people hate on other blacks and that’s what makes us divided. Hating on another sista or brotha… My family came to my house and said we were living like “white folks” WTF!!!! No, we’ve worked hard to get what we have like a lot of black families I know….I’m very happy Barack Obama will be our Next President, because a lot of whites believe that all of our men are locked up and out making babies and not taking care of them. My husband has never been locked up (if he keeps cussing people out for driving to slow, maybe he will be) and he takes care of his family. But all we see on TV is Ja-low low killing Dewillie!

Think about it what did we actually need from them?[/quote]
I’ve been saying that integration was the worst thing that happend to us…
I feel we werent prepared as a race to integrate.. we still was trying to figure out who we were as a people!!! We had only been free for like 100 years or so…If we would have gotten our own COMMUNITY together and STRONG…we wouldnt have let all this happen to us. WE were so concerned about having what the white man has that we lost ourselves in the process!!!
And the white man knew exactly what was gonna happen when they allowed us to integrate…
I dont see anything wrong with seprate but equal…
Lawd ya’ll done got me started!![/quote]
Um No. I highly disagree. If we had “SEPARATE BUT EQUAL” We would not have what we have today, because it wasn’t truly SEPARATE BUT EQUAL. It was SEPARATE AND UNEQUAL. We would def not have Obama in office and to tell you the truth, the people who would be fighting the war would be solely minorities. The game will be different okay. As far as integration goes, I think it was the best thing that could’ve happened to our race in my opinion.[/quote]
Think about it like this..
What if the white man had enough balls to give us everything they had in their communities..equal schooling , equal jobs, equal pay etc…then there would have been no need to integrate with them. Thus we would have been able to strengthen our own community without losing our integrity..
I get what you are saying..but if things were truly EQUAL….black people would have been very powerful!![/quote]
Yes. But man is naturally greedy, he has unlimited wants (Buddha). African americans were brought here, so of course they were going to keep that upper hand on them. Just like with Native Americans. Though this was their land, the White Americans brought their technology and essentially took what was naturally theirs away.

So Agree!!!! I respected Malcolm’s attitude more!!!![/quote]
Martin was a lot like Malcolm when he was younger more radical than rational. Martin I believe (the world is about to blow up) became a pacifier for the govt.[/quote]
No!! You right!!! He became a token!!

[quote comment="370730"]I am: You are right. But segregation or De-segregation will solve nothing. We have segregation in our own communities, so how can we demand something when we ourselves can’t get our act together?
This goes as far back as slavery. The kings and queens of Africa were not tricked, they sold the ones who where essentially “Useless” in their society and that is where slavery started. Timbuktu (sp) my people. Now it has evolved to something else. Now I agree with Morgan has said to a certain extent. Though I feel its a month dedicated to teaching us “Our” history, it is also a month that the people disect our race and essentially feed us the scraps that they “believe” we need.[/quote]
That segregation in our communities is what we should be focusing on. No I don’t believe separating all of us now will change anything for the better but I do believe that if we work on us, just us we can change it for the better and then separate.

Very true. However, Malcolm was always for “Getting ourselves together first…uniting within the black community first” We skipped that critical step and never been united as black folks ever since.
And I dont wanna hear “all black folks being united” will never happen. Not a 100%…of course not. But if we can have each others backs like the Jews, Puerto Ricans, etc, I think we would be a lot better off.

Dont hold your breath on it!![/quote]
It won’t happen and we’ve been expecting too much from him since the day we begged for integration *SMDH we should have tried for separation if anything and did it on our own.[/quote]
Thats why I prefered Malcolm to Martin. I respect MLK…I really do but it seems that the Civil Rights movement had those specific demonstrations for the public to have “pity” for us. Dont give my my rights b/c you pity me, give me my damn rights because as a human I deserve it!
Plus I like the fact that Malcolm was like, “if you dont want to give us a decent school, screw you…we will make one our damn self!” Same way with businesses, etc. Im from the south and the mentality is the same way…waiting on some white man to give them something. Sometimes, you need to just make your own way.[/quote]
Exactly…I dont really care for Martin..I mean I respect him and all, but Malcolm was about HIS people first!!!
I dont think Malcolm gave a damn about integrating with the white man…hell he was already integrated..(his mama was half white) and that didnt get him no where!!!
If I would have been able to get over the fact that I couldnt eat pork, I would have been a muslim back then…
Plus Malcolm was sexy to me…He had that Obama swag going on!![/quote]
In the end Malcom was for unity. After he made the pilgrimage and saw all of those races come together he kind of had a change of heart as far as Whiteman this & White man that, buthe was still for the Black people, but he knew he needed to broaden he views a little more when it came to other race. He changed and they didn’t like that so they assassinated him.
In the End Blacks just don’t know how to stick together. We are haters of our ownself and it’s sad.[/quote]
I agree with that….

So Agree!!!! I respected Malcolm’s attitude more!!!![/quote]
Martin was a lot like Malcolm when he was younger more radical than rational. Martin I believe (the world is about to blow up) became a pacifier for the govt.[/quote]
No!! You right!!! He became a token!![/quote]
And it worked they knew if we became violent they had no wins with us so enter the implant.

Exactly. I love MLK but Malcolm knew that we wasn’t going to win without a FIGHT. He was all about sticking together, mixing and matching is why we look a fool nowadays. People buying “our” souls for basically nothing smh[/quote]
I love the both of them. MLK was perfect for his time and so was Malcolm X in his time. They contributed equally to the civil rights movement. They just did it in their own way. Look what happened to Malcolm when he tried to teach his own, they shot him. Who did MLK get shot by? The other.[/quote]
Why did I just say the last two sentences like yesterday. Killed by the type of ppl they were trying to help. Damn near verbatum. Can I adopt you as my YBF twin sister?[/quote]
LOL it depends. Being older and much more open minded, I see what everyone is getting at, but don’t put one on the pedastol. They both belong there. I remember Malcolm X had a problem in the way MLK was handling things. But what Malcolm failed to realize was MLK was a product of his environment just like he was.

I agree! A lot of black people hate on other blacks and that’s what makes us divided. Hating on another sista or brotha… My family came to my house and said we were living like “white folks” WTF!!!! No, we’ve worked hard to get what we have like a lot of black families I know….I’m very happy Barack Obama will be our Next President, because a lot of whites believe that all of our men are locked up and out making babies and not taking care of them. My husband has never been locked up (if he keeps cussing people out for driving to slow, maybe he will be) and he takes care of his family. But all we see on TV is Ja-low low killing Dewillie![/quote]
Black people not only hate on each other but a lot of them have this mentality that once they “make it out the hood, they wont look back”. Other races arent like that. One person goes to college start making money THEN they make sure they give back. Black people tend to be on this well if I did it alone you can too. NO, if GOD has blessed you with things he blessed you not so you can keep it to yourself but so you can pass on those blessings. Blacks dont understand that sometimes!!!

He got to leave the country…no court case or nothing and go back to Israel….thats the f-ed up part

Very true. However, Malcolm was always for “Getting ourselves together first…uniting within the black community first” We skipped that critical step and never been united as black folks ever since.
And I dont wanna hear “all black folks being united” will never happen. Not a 100%…of course not. But if we can have each others backs like the Jews, Puerto Ricans, etc, I think we would be a lot better off.[/quote]
That was my whole point..Malcolm didnt care about what the “other” people was doing…
And that’s our problem as black people we are always worried about what the next man got..while we still dont have sh$t…we want to have their hair, their skin color, their neighborhood, their WOMEN…
while we forget about what WE have….

I’m not gonna dismiss MLK contribution to Civil Rights cuz he did sooo much and ended up dying in the end. But there’s a lot of conspiracies that I’ve heard about the “The March.” I heard that was supposed to be an angry radical movement and the wonderful C.I.A. turned into a “picnic” which some ppl don’t know the origins behind that term either.
They used our own to shoot Malcolm. That wa just blatant. I loved Malcolm.
Ladies my next book is “The wretched of the Earth” I heard it’s da biznizz.

[quote comment="370782"][quote comment="370730"]I am: You are right. But segregation or De-segregation will solve nothing. We have segregation in our own communities, so how can we demand something when we ourselves can’t get our act together?
This goes as far back as slavery. The kings and queens of Africa were not tricked, they sold the ones who where essentially “Useless” in their society and that is where slavery started. Timbuktu (sp) my people. Now it has evolved to something else. Now I agree with Morgan has said to a certain extent. Though I feel its a month dedicated to teaching us “Our” history, it is also a month that the people disect our race and essentially feed us the scraps that they “believe” we need.[/quote]
That segregation in our communities is what we should be focusing on. No I don’t believe separating all of us now will change anything for the better but I do believe that if we work on us, just us we can change it for the better and then separate.[/quote]
Very much agreed. Until we work on ourselves, Absolutely NOTHING will be done. So we need to stop pointing the finger at everyone and take a good look at ourselves. But the problem with that is you have someone like Obama tell them whats wrong and everyone attacks him for trying to act like he’s “Better” than us.

I was watching the simmons, i really prefer the older sister, she seems more real than other. all the other one does is steer with her eyes rolled in her head. but they both are always laughing seems so annoying like they cant be serious but they’re not it seems like a waste of time. But its good that the older sister is keeping her relationship off the show.

We need to start with the schools. I think our children should be segregated until they reach high school to start off. We need our own schools to teach them when that happens though. The white man (yeah morgan I said it) will NEVER give your child the tools he needs to succeed him. It will never happen that’s why we need to teach our own. Fuck the public school systems, we need our own curriculum to right these wrongs. When those children make it out into the real world they’ll be fully prepared to deal with them and they’ll be equipped with the tools to see through the bullshit

See this is where I am now. I’m trying to figure out what to exactly let my boys know now. They still kinda in that stage of not realizing the differences between races. Like if you way White they dont get that. And dont call them black cuz they think they’re light brown. So yesterday I was reading them a book about Barack Obama but when they asked me why everyone was so happy and I tried to explain that he will be the first black President, or the first person his color to be preseident they were kinda lost. LOL I was like I’ll have to hold off on the real details till they get a lil older.

He would say that since he’s with a white woman now. I usually ignore him because I feel like he plays the same role in every movie- either he is a servant to some white people or he is some sort of CIA/FBI/Cop, but this time he has gone too far.
Racism isn’t going to go away because we stop talking about it WTH? The only way racism is going to go away is if people acknowledge their bigotry, educate themselves and stop using their power to belittle people of different ethnic backgrounds.
We don’t need a white history month because every month is white history month. If he doesn’t get that as old as he is then I don’t know what to say about him.

[quote comment="370802"][quote comment="370782"][quote comment="370730"]I am: You are right. But segregation or De-segregation will solve nothing. We have segregation in our own communities, so how can we demand something when we ourselves can’t get our act together?
This goes as far back as slavery. The kings and queens of Africa were not tricked, they sold the ones who where essentially “Useless” in their society and that is where slavery started. Timbuktu (sp) my people. Now it has evolved to something else. Now I agree with Morgan has said to a certain extent.

That segregation in our communities is what we should be focusing on. No I don’t believe separating all of us now will change anything for the better but I do believe that if we work on us, just us we can change it for the better and then separate.[/quote]
Very much agreed. Until we work on ourselves, Absolutely NOTHING will be done. So we need to stop pointing the finger at everyone and take a good look at ourselves. But the problem with that is you have someone like Obama tell them whats wrong and everyone attacks him for trying to act like he’s “Better” than us.[/quote]
EXACTLY!!!! That’s why Jesse Jackson ass shouldve gotten boxed down. His ass made that derogatory comment all because Obama told men to step up and take care of their responsiblities!!!!!

It wouldn’t need to be talked about if it was just called history it would be a class that you have to take and pass to graduate.

Girl please and tell the truth about how things really went down…come on..when has the white man EVER accepted responsibility for what he’s done…
Dont hold your breath on it!![/quote]
It won’t happen and we’ve been expecting too much from him since the day we begged for integration *SMDH we should have tried for separation if anything and did it on our own.[/quote]
Thats why I prefered Malcolm to Martin. I respect MLK…I really do but it seems that the Civil Rights movement had those specific demonstrations for the public to have “pity” for us. Dont give my my rights b/c you pity me, give me my damn rights because as a human I deserve it!
Plus I like the fact that Malcolm was like, “if you dont want to give us a decent school, screw you…we will make one our damn self!” Same way with businesses, etc. Im from the south and the mentality is the same way…waiting on some white man to give them something. Sometimes, you need to just make your own way.[/quote]
So Agree!!!! I respected Malcolm’s attitude more!!!![/quote]
Martin was a lot like Malcolm when he was younger more radical than rational. Martin I believe (the world is about to blow up) became a pacifier for the govt.[/quote]
No!! You right!!! He became a token!![/quote]
And it worked they knew if we became violent they had no wins with us so enter the implant.[/quote]
The whole I have a dream speech was stage…at first when black folks decided to to go March on Washington the goverment had nothing to do with it..once they say how we had organized damn near the whole black community from every state to come together, that’s when they wanted to get involve and add various “other” speakers and help with the March…they didnt want to televize black people coming together in unison by themselves…they effect would have been to much for the country!! So of course the white man just HAD to get his credit!!!

I can dig that my daddy, my auntie ( I think Iknew about Malcolm X probably before I knew about Martin because I Auntie was Black Power all thw way,with all of these Black books and movies) She was like know your own history 1st then you learn theirs. Don’t let anyone tell you anything about your people learn for yourself!!!!
Black could be so much more powerful, but knowledge is the key and unity among our race. All of the things we have created in this world and then still to be frowned on as a race is some carzy s88t especially when we know wher we should be at this point as a race.
The White man can only do so much, but Lord if we would just come together and see what we are truly destined for it would be amazing!!!! They couldn’t stop us!

Only black people lack unity. Asians, Jews, hell even white people stick together but black folks? Like crabs in a bucket…(NOT ALL but u catch my drift)[/quote]
I agree! A lot of black people hate on other blacks and that’s what makes us divided. Hating on another sista or brotha… My family came to my house and said we were living like “white folks” WTF!!!! No, we’ve worked hard to get what we have like a lot of black families I know….I’m very happy Barack Obama will be our Next President, because a lot of whites believe that all of our men are locked up and out making babies and not taking care of them. My husband has never been locked up (if he keeps cussing people out for driving to slow, maybe he will be) and he takes care of his family. But all we see on TV is Ja-low low killing Dewillie![/quote]
Black people not only hate on each other but a lot of them have this mentality that once they “make it out the hood, they wont look back”. Other races arent like that. One person goes to college start making money THEN they make sure they give back. Black people tend to be on this well if I did it alone you can too. NO, if GOD has blessed you with things he blessed you not so you can keep it to yourself but so you can pass on those blessings. Blacks dont understand that sometimes!!![/quote]
I agree with you 100%. You have many who don’t want to better their lives. My husband has 2 nephews and both of them have two kids and they’re unemployed. My husband called to talk to them about joining the military or doing something with their lives in order to provide for their kids. They said,”I rather lay around the house all day than to go to the Army or work at McDonald’s.” Guess what, they’re still Laying Up!!!

But there’s a lot of conspiracies that I’ve heard about the “The March.” I heard that was supposed to be an angry radical movement and the wonderful C.I.A. turned into a “picnic” which some ppl don’t know the origins behind that term either.
They used our own to shoot Malcolm. That wa just blatant. I loved Malcolm.
Ladies my next book is “The wretched of the Earth”
I heard it’s da biznizz.[/quote]
I read SOME of that in college. Its on my bookshelf right now in MINT condition. Everytime I try to read it in its entirity (sp?) I end up reading something else.[/quote]
I just talked about that!!
The whole I have a dream speech was stage…at first when black folks decided to to go March on Washington the goverment had nothing to do with it..once they say how we had organized damn near the whole black community from every state to come together, that’s when they wanted to get involve and add various “other” speakers and help with the March…they didnt want to televize black people coming together in unison by themselves…they effect would have been to much for the country!! So of course the white man just HAD to get his credit!!![/quote]

I’m not saying cleanse I’m saying self preservation. We need a time to focus solely on us with out other opinions and influence when have we ever had that?[/quote]
Yes I get you, but the problem with that is people don’t know how to convey that message without hate coming from it. Did you ever see that Documentary “Bastards of the Party”? Now that is the truth. How something positive turns into something negative.[/quote]
No I’ve never seen it but I don’t want you to get the wrong idea of what I’m saying. I’m not teaching hate, I was taught hate so I know that’s not the way I’m saying teach truth.

This goes as far back as slavery. The kings and queens of Africa were not tricked, they sold the ones who where essentially “Useless” in their society and that is where slavery started. Timbuktu (sp) my people. Now it has evolved to something else. Now I agree with Morgan has said to a certain extent. Though I feel its a month dedicated to teaching us “Our” history, it is also a month that the people disect our race and essentially feed us the scraps that they “believe” we need.[/quote]
That segregation in our communities is what we should be focusing on. No I don’t believe separating all of us now will change anything for the better but I do believe that if we work on us, just us we can change it for the better and then separate.[/quote]
Very much agreed. Until we work on ourselves, Absolutely NOTHING will be done. So we need to stop pointing the finger at everyone and take a good look at ourselves. But the problem with that is you have someone like Obama tell them whats wrong and everyone attacks him for trying to act like he’s “Better” than us.[/quote]
I agree. When I was at the gym this morning there was an entire segment on the news about how high the black on black crime was in Houston itself. If I heard correctly, I thought she said Houston was leading that category out of all cities in America. Thats sad. I couldnt help but feel disappointed in us because all the idiotic things we do are multiplied, in my opinion, to discredit us as a race. No one will ever take us seriously because we wear our pants under our asses, sport colored weave, are drug dealers, abuse the system, umemployed, uneducated etc. It doesnt matter that this may be going on in other races but what folks dont realize is Black folks have to work two times harder than any other race. I absolutely HATE the stereotypes associated with our race. I dont think racism will ever “go away” but we HAVE to start sticking together.

I am SO SICK of people acting like Jews, Whites, Asians and everyone else are more unified than Black people! I grew up in california around these groups and know better-they are as fragmented as we are. Asians and Hispanics divide themselves between the Fobs (fresh off the boat)and the American born. Jews fight over those born in Israel v. Europe v America. They kill and ripe each other off ALL the time.
Does anyone read the paper? Did any of you read about Bernard Madoff, the American Jewish investment banker who stole 50 million from his own people last year? (I believe he’s from New York)
I sick of our self-hatred.

I’m not talking about the school teaching math and science and stuff like that. I know we need schools for that!!! LOL What I’m talking about is people RELYING on schools to teach children about their history, BLACK HISTORY. PARENTS, people in the community need to do that!![/quote]
No Toya but History is a class and that should damn well be taught better in the schools not just in Feb. How you feel teaching your child all they know at home but it gets dismissed as a mere nothing in school?? Of course we need to do our part but the school systems def play a part as well!!!!

I think that people should look at Obama as an inspiration. Look at all he’s been through in his life and how far he’s come. No, he’s not God, but I do believe that he has the opportunity to show Black people that it’s ok to be smart and successful and care about your community.

Black history needs to be added to every U.S. high school’s curriculm. It should be a required course..just like World History, American History, Mexican History (we had that in Texas)

Black= Power and the White man knew that! We are descendants of Kings & Queens so why are we still at the bottom? This below lets you know how much power we had and alot of theses people had no formal education or knowledge of self so guess what it was taken!!!! So what’s our excuse now?
Elijah McCoy (1843–1929) invented an oil-dripping cup for trains.
Other inventors tried to copy McCoy’s oil-dripping cup. But none of the other cups worked as well as his, so customers started asking for “the real McCoy.” That’s where the expression comes from.
Lewis Latimer (1848–1928) invented an important part of the light bulb — the carbon filament.
Latimer worked in the laboratories of both Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell.
(NOW LOOK WHO HE WAS WORKING WITH..can we say theives)
Jan Ernst Matzeliger (1852–1889) invented a shoemaking machine that increased shoemaking speed by 900%!
Granville T. Woods (1856–1910) invented a train-to-station communication system. With only the education of a 10yr old!!!
George Washington Carver (1860–1943) invented peanut butter and 400 plant products!
Carver was born a slave. He didn’t go to college until he was 30.
Otis Boykin (1920–1982) invented the electronic control devices for guided missiles, IBM computers, and the pacemaker.
Boykin invented 28 different electronic devices.
Dr. Patricia. E. Bath (1949–) invented a method of eye surgery that has helped many blind people to see.
Dr. Bath has been nominated to the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
Garrett Morgan (1877–1963) Morgan also invented the first traffic signal.
Daniel Hale Williams - Is credited with having performed open heart surgery on July 9, 1893 before such surgeries were established. In 1913, Daniel Hale Williams Williams was the only African American member of the American College of Surgeons

I agree with you Foley. ITs not the school job to teach our children those things. Thats where parents mess up. School is there to supplement what youre already teaching…[/quote]
If we didn’t have schools that teach what they teach, then we would not have doctor’s, lawyers and such.. I don’t care what the method of teaching is, as long as my child is successful….. Success sees no color….[/quote]
I second that[/quote]
Why wouldn’t we have doctor’s and lawyers we’ve been in those areas too for a long time why couldn’t we have our own schools that teach medicine and law?[/quote]
Texas Southern University has one of the BEST law depts in the nation……[/quote]
That’s my school!! That’s my school!!![/quote]
And PV A&M has the BEST nursing school…come on people….please don’t think just cause it’s white, it’s right…I already told my sons, you will not be a token for UT, Texas A&M, Michigan, Duke, kentucky..Hell naw!!! You will go to Fisk, Howard, FAMU, Morehouse, ect…..

Who said only about our history, I’m talking the whole curriculum read riting and rithmatic. The kids spend most of their day in school so everything plays a part the environment what they eat for lunch I’m talking our own school system we have the resources to do it.[/quote]
Gosh I love these types of talks and even tho some will disgree w/ some of the views, I just love it

And if we’re running the schools it will be our job. The village needs to start raising these kids[/quote]
Halleuyah! Thats the whole problem. Everyone is out for self. In my church (predominately Nigerian) We are like a village. You get your ass slapped by anyone, and then they gonna tell your mother or pops whos gonna slap ya ass again. We are all family. It aint just you alone, its everyone.[/quote]
What happened to that???? All of my neighbors have checked my ass in some form or fashion growing up cause if I got out of hand when moms wasn’t around they took care of it and then told my momma when she got home. We need that back[/quote]
PRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEAAAAAAAACHHH!!!!! You couldnt get away with shit with your nosy ass neighbors. Your parents knew EVERYTHANG!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]
Yo Ms. Johnson (RIP) used to Fuck me UPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!! then she’d sit on my porch with me to wait for my momma *SMDH I wish I knew how much I loved her then as I know now she kept me out of a lot of shit[/quote]
Ms Helen across the street…..If we got outta line, she would beat our tails and when my mom got home, she would also…That’s what’s missing…we never want anyone else to tell our bad ass bay-bays nothing…knowing full well the bad than a mutha…[/quote]
Exactly, we need that kind of discipline these days for these bad ass kids, when I used to act up in school, I would get beat from my teacher, then my old southern grandmama, then my mother. I bet you I was respectful all my life though. These days the kids are cussing out the parents and beating the teachers. No respect for themselves or their elders. SMH

We are far from done!!! This is a hugeeee step but done? Naw, we haven’t even begun. I say that all the time, HE IS NOT GOD, he has a lot of trash to deal with because of Bush…Personally, Barack can do NOTHING for u, u have to get up off ur ass to do what u gotta do![/quote]
I think that people should look at Obama as an inspiration. Look at all he’s been through in his life and how far he’s come. No, he’s not God, but I do believe that he has the opportunity to show Black people that it’s ok to be smart and successful and care about your community.[/quote]
No doubt! He is certainly one of my inspirations but I just know he cannot do it all, that at some point Ima have to get up and do something for myself!

Barack’s mom was single and she would have him wake up at 4 in the morning to review his studies. The black community (as a whole) in America is soo broken that every parent/family member of a black child needs to be involved. Sacrifices need to be made. Even if that means turning of Desperate housewives of Atlanta and taking your kids to library.

I’m not talking about the school teaching math and science and stuff like that. I know we need schools for that!!! LOL What I’m talking about is people RELYING on schools to teach children about their history, BLACK HISTORY. PARENTS, people in the community need to do that!![/quote]
No Toya but History is a class and that should damn well be taught better in the schools not just in Feb. How you feel teaching your child all they know at home but it gets dismissed as a mere nothing in school?? Of course we need to do our part but the school systems def play a part as well!!!![/quote]
Yeah they do but I also said when people RELY on the school. A lot of parents let their kids go to school and have no interest on what their kids even learned or talked about that day. And of course school systems need to be changed but families and communities have to have an active role in that also. Make them change. Not seeing at home and WISHING they changed. People need to stop saying what other people NEED to be doing, AND DO IT. Before Black history month, black children were still learning about it. How? PARENTS, COMMUNITIES. There are no real communities anymore.

Agree. It really does start in the home. Reading is truly fundamental. Especially as a Black man. We have to raise our boys to be pillars of our community. Teach them to unselfish, caring, confident, and knowledgable.

It wouldn’t need to be talked about if it was just called history it would be a class that you have to take and pass to graduate. He should have said to re do all of these fucking textbooks to incorporate the tip of the iceberg that is our beautifully rich and successful history they discuss during the shortest month of the year[/quote]
Girl please and tell the truth about how things really went down…come on..when has the white man EVER accepted responsibility for what he’s done…
Dont hold your breath on it!![/quote]
It won’t happen and we’ve been expecting too much from him since the day we begged for integration *SMDH we should have tried for separation if anything and did it on our own.[/quote]
Desegragation is what killed the black community…..[/quote]
So true! If we would have listened to Malcolm we would have been better![/quote]
Think about it what did we actually need from them?[/quote]
I’ve been saying that integration was the worst thing that happend to us…
I feel we werent prepared as a race to integrate.. we still was trying to figure out who we were as a people!!! We had only been free for like 100 years or so…If we would have gotten our own COMMUNITY together and STRONG…we wouldnt have let all this happen to us. WE were so concerned about having what the white man has that we lost ourselves in the process!!!
And the white man knew exactly what was gonna happen when they allowed us to integrate…
I dont see anything wrong with seprate but equal…
Lawd ya’ll done got me started!![/quote]
Um No. I highly disagree. If we had “SEPARATE BUT EQUAL” We would not have what we have today, because it wasn’t truly SEPARATE BUT EQUAL. It was SEPARATE AND UNEQUAL. We would def not have Obama in office and to tell you the truth, the people who would be fighting the war would be solely minorities. The game will be different okay. As far as integration goes, I think it was the best thing that could’ve happened to our race in my opinion.[/quote]
Think about it like this..
What if the white man had enough balls to give us everything they had in their communities..equal schooling , equal jobs, equal pay etc…then there would have been no need to integrate with them. Thus we would have been able to strengthen our own community without losing our integrity..
I get what you are saying..but if things were truly EQUAL….black people would have been very powerful!![/quote]
That’s for real![/quote]
White people will never give you anything… You have to work for. White people didn’t give Barack Obama a chance 9at first) …he worked for it! KEY WORD = Worked.

I second that[/quote]
I understand what I AM ME is saying, but if we took our children out of school to teach them ONLY about our history..then how will that help them at that job interview at that law firm.. There are some parents who are very educated and can teach their children how to be doctor’s and thangs, but what about that single mom that has not even a GED… Would that be fair to her?[/quote]
Barack’s mom was single and she would have him wake up at 4 in the morning to review his studies. The black community (as a whole) in America is soo broken that every parent/family member of a black child needs to be involved. Sacrifices need to be made. Even if that means turning of Desperate housewives of Atlanta and taking your kids to library.[/quote]
Girl people believe that ish is foreign. I tell people on Tuesdays is my son and I date for the library they like “you stl do that”…..YA DAMN RIGHT I DO!!!!!

Seriously. I love it. I can go on and on about what many of us know to be true, but the real truth of the matter is WE CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!! If someone brought the truth in front of us and told us what was being done to us and how we’re slowly dying we’d surely dismiss it. Girl you ARE ON POINT. Remind me of the radical friend I had in college.[/quote]
Foooolish![/quote]
Yup, I laugh at the black people who think we are done because Barack is president
PREEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACH!!![/quote]
S&J YOU AINT NEVA LIED!!!! That’s what kills me. You hear ppl saying “Now that Barack is Prez” like that’s their ticket to not having to do a damn thing. This man is not God…he don’t perform miracles. He is just a man tryna to make a difference and the only way that can happen is everyone doing their part…..step up and do you.[/quote]
We are far from done!!! This is a hugeeee step but done? Naw, we haven’t even begun. I say that all the time, HE IS NOT GOD, he has a lot of trash to deal with because of Bush…Personally, Barack can do NOTHING for u, u have to get up off ur ass to do what u gotta do![/quote]
I think that people should look at Obama as an inspiration. Look at all he’s been through in his life and how far he’s come. No, he’s not God, but I do believe that he has the opportunity to show Black people that it’s ok to be smart and successful and care about your community.[/quote]
No doubt! He is certainly one of my inspirations but I just know he cannot do it all, that at some point Ima have to get up and do something for myself![/quote]
And as quiet as it’s kept although I love Barack no forum has he said anything about direct changes that he will implement in the black community because that is not his job as the president. He has to be there for every race of people in this country. Even though we already know that people like Bush and former regimes have only really cared about the domination of the white people, Barack is actually gonna be the people’s pres. He is not going to take sides because realistically he can’t especially when African Americans only make up about 11% of the population, so once again us as black people need to get it together!

I took a course like that, there was an African American woman and a white man..very good course. But I also took a course on African American Literature and that was a white professor. There were only two black kids in there, myself included. I was disgusted.

Tell it girl, tell it! I’m a more spiritual than religious, simply because of the fact that the religion that most Black people hold so near and dear to them was used under the guise that slavery was God’s will. Now I’m not knocking anybody’s religion AT ALL, but I think more people need to do their research before following what they think is right…

Ur so right, it’s like those of us who are Christians. We are so deep, but people of other religions such as Jews and Muslims no more about our word and history then we do. It’s really a shame. They know our Bible back and front, but we can’t quote a scripture besides “Jesus wept” just like the little kids that know all of the rap lyrics but not one times table or how to spell their words

I agree but as a Christan I feel its more the infrastructure and institution of “church” than the belief in Christ itself. But your right if your just going to blindly follow any faith your setting yourself up for failure in a way.

But see the problem is that we all grew up being told it’s wrong to question our faith. That’s what I mean when i say research! There are so many unanswered questions when it comes to Christianity for me. And how can you put all your faith into any religion really? They’re all man made to me. And I don’t put my faith in no Man. I believe in a higher Being.

And on top of that the churches are not being used properly. I don’t identify with any one religion but I can appreciate the power of a congregation uplifting people. What I can’t understand is a preacher man telling you to live in God and not in the world but he drives a jag. Those churches should be our local headquarters our haven a place to nurture. I hate seeing trash and graffeti and shit on the street and a pristine church smack dab in the middle of it. They should take responsibility for the communities they’re in

Yup! I’m more spiritual than religious. The Bible was written by someone, I dont deny the presence of God I believe he exists I just think when you read anything you have to take it with a grain of salt.

People really don’t like when their rose colored glasses are shattered they don’t like to talk about the truth but that’s why it’s hard to face. And I would never disrespect anyone’s religion but sometimes we hide behind that too and let’s not forget the slave masters who introduced us to Christianity[/quote]
Yup I think people tend to forget that also! Christianity is what slave masters taught! Makes me think of that scene in color purple when Cellie was telling Oprah’s character Sophia basically dont worry about now, Heaven lasts forever. Sophia was like you better bust Misters head in and think about Heaven later! lol[/quote]
No lie, sometimes I question this so called “faith”…I believe in God, a higher power, but there are things that make me say, what????? So you saying we all came from Adam and Eve??? So basicly there is a lot consanguinity….Incest…[/quote]
But see the problem is that we all grew up being told it’s wrong to question our faith. That’s what I mean when i say research! There are so many unanswered questions when it comes to Christianity for me. And how can you put all your faith into any religion really? They’re all man made to me. And I don’t put my faith in no Man. I believe in a higher Being.[/quote]
More blood has been spilled over religion than anything. Christianity is no different.

I would not say the institution of Christianity was a bad thing because we do not know God’s purpose for doing so. The way religion was used was to justify the wrong that they were doing which was wrong. But then again, there aren’t many White Muslims that came to America to convert anyone. If you look at Africa, you may see some influence, but in America, most of the slavetrade was carried out of mainly countries that practiced Christianity.

Tell it girl, tell it! I’m a more spiritual than religious, simply because of the fact that the religion that most Black people hold so near and dear to them was used under the guise that slavery was God’s will. Now I’m not knocking anybody’s religion AT ALL, but I think more people need to do their research before following what they think is right…[/quote]
PPPRRREACHHH!!!! I carry the same title…i’m spiritual but dont follow any religion and dont do church…I respect the ones that do but I’ve been through them all and choose to just live my life as a spiritual being….People so religious and Christmas suppose to be a part of that yet it’s not Christ b-day…just another made up holiday[/quote]
I know Love. That’s why I haven’t been to church. it;’s not because I don’t believe in a Higher Power, but something just ain’t right. The more educated you become about things the more you question things, not that I am questioning God, but we are like “The lost Tribe” No roots, no background, we know nothing, no history….It’s crazy when you sit down and think about it

And on top of that the churches are not being used properly. I don’t identify with any one religion but I can appreciate the power of a congregation uplifting people. What I can’t understand is a preacher man telling you to live in God and not in the world but he drives a jag. Those churches should be our local headquarters our haven a place to nurture. I hate seeing trash and graffeti and shit on the street and a pristine church smack dab in the middle of it. They should take responsibility for the communities they’re in[/quote]
Yes! There is no reason that your congregation is taking the bus all over the world to come to your church, yet you flying around in a private jet. That’s a no! I remember when I used to go to this big church here in ATL when it was much smaller. If I had a problem or needed spiritual guidance I could just knock on the pastor’s door. When the church started to grow and exceeded 20,000 members, the pastor had bodyguards and was literally untouchable. That’s the kind of thing I can’t deal with. And people in the church idolizing these men as if they’re not only human…

Oh of course. But I guess that goes deeper into Spirituality. I think the way that our ancestors may have used Christianity as a way to cope with the dealings of their master. Then they reformed it, mixing in their own customs and beliefs from Africa.

That’s a whole nother topic right there. I can’t get how it’s all this separation of church and state, but only to a certain degree. Don’t let the kids pray in school, cuz of church and state. But don’t let the gays get married cuz that’s not God’s way. Huh? The government just picks and chooses when they wanna be a religious entity…whateva!

Yea. I’ll never forget my aunt talking about how devil-minded Africans in Africa are worshipping all their devil gods. I was looking at her like huh?? In an African studies class I took, Africans weren’t into devil worship. Their way of worshipping was thanking God(s) for eveything, water-sky-sun etc. Gosh we can never get back what was taken from us.
And it wasn’t only whites that put us into slavery. Arabs participated (i.e. Darfur today)and were actually doing so before Europeans got “put on” to it. But that’s another conversation.

Please don’t get me started on King James…He re-wrote the Bible to satistify his needs and wants….I took an Eglish class where we had to compare and contrast the Koran (sp) and the Bible…It was deep!!!

That is why one must really educate themselves on the word of God and not expect someone else to teach it to you. These megachurches are what God warns us about, false teachings and hyprocrisy. When I saw Bishop Eddie Long on the tv screen, I’m like WHoa?!?! Who are you? No doubt, his words touch me but his presence bothers me. Like with the platnium bracelets and all that..

People really don’t like when their rose colored glasses are shattered they don’t like to talk about the truth but that’s why it’s hard to face.

Yup I think people tend to forget that also! Christianity is what slave masters taught! Makes me think of that scene in color purple when Cellie was telling Oprah’s character Sophia basically dont worry about now, Heaven lasts forever. Sophia was like you better bust Misters head in and think about Heaven later! lol[/quote]
LMAO…talking bout we’ll get our pie in the sky. Has anyone came back and told you about it yet!! Seriously, why can’t we have our peace/heaven right here on earth? Gosh, this was heavy today, just the way I like it.[/quote]
We’re also taught to serve one god but all the rituals and holidays of Christianity were adopted from the pagans the church slaughtered how’s that for hypocritical[/quote]
Exactly…Easter…Christmas all man amde holidays. Then dont start with how I dont get how religion gets mixed up in politics…like oil and water[/quote]
That’s a whole nother topic right there. I can’t get how it’s all this separation of church and state, but only to a certain degree. Don’t let the kids pray in school, cuz of church and state. But don’t let the gays get married cuz that’s not God’s way. Huh? The government just picks and chooses when they wanna be a religious entity…whateva![/quote]
Well when you make the rules you can change them to suit your needs they just making this shit up as they go along

I would not say the institution of Christianity was a bad thing because we do not know God’s purpose for doing so. The way religion was used was to justify the wrong that they were doing which was wrong. But then again, there aren’t many White Muslims that came to America to convert anyone. If you look at Africa, you may see some influence, but in America, most of the slavetrade was carried out of mainly countries that practiced Christianity.[/quote]
I haven’t read it. I’m not saying Christianity was a bad thing either it gave us something to believe in but we can’t hide there[/quote]
Oh of course. But I guess that goes deeper into Spirituality. I think the way that our ancestors may have used Christianity as a way to cope with the dealings of their master. Then they reformed it, mixing in their own customs and beliefs from Africa.[/quote]
I really like some AME churches though. I feel like they still have that sense of community and concern. I think that’s the church that really tried to implement African culture into Christianity too

Tell it girl, tell it! I’m a more spiritual than religious, simply because of the fact that the religion that most Black people hold so near and dear to them was used under the guise that slavery was God’s will. Now I’m not knocking anybody’s religion AT ALL, but I think more people need to do their research before following what they think is right…[/quote]
And on top of that the churches are not being used properly. I don’t identify with any one religion but I can appreciate the power of a congregation uplifting people. What I can’t understand is a preacher man telling you to live in God and not in the world but he drives a jag. Those churches should be our local headquarters our haven a place to nurture. I hate seeing trash and graffeti and shit on the street and a pristine church smack dab in the middle of it. They should take responsibility for the communities they’re in[/quote]
Yes! There is no reason that your congregation is taking the bus all over the world to come to your church, yet you flying around in a private jet. That’s a no! I remember when I used to go to this big church here in ATL when it was much smaller. If I had a problem or needed spiritual guidance I could just knock on the pastor’s door. When the church started to grow and exceeded 20,000 members, the pastor had bodyguards and was literally untouchable. That’s the kind of thing I can’t deal with. And people in the church idolizing these men as if they’re not only human…[/quote]

Yea. I’ll never forget my aunt talking about how devil-minded Africans in Africa are worshipping all their devil gods. I was looking at her like huh?? In an African studies class I took, Africans weren’t into devil worship. Their way of worshipping was thanking God(s) for eveything, water-sky-sun etc. Gosh we can never get back what was taken from us.
And it wasn’t only whites that put us into slavery. Arabs participated (i.e. Darfur today)and were actually doing so before Europeans got “put on” to it. But that’s another conversation.[/quote]
YES! But the Arabs did it in Africa and in their own countries. Not in America.

You’re not gonna find God in a building, You won’t find him any other place but your heart. Be still and listen to what’s inside you instead of trying to find something on the outside. We were given the ability to Love and that’s the key to heaven and you don’t have to donate to the building fund to get that.

And its not that All churches are bad..I actually enjoy being a CHRISTAN. But its so important to stay informed and remember the bigger picture. America is a Business and everything inside and around more than likely is to. Churches, schools, shelters, parks, museums…its all about money.

I agree with the first part of what he said about black history month. I’ve felt that way for a very long time. When i was in elementary school, we’d put up pictures of important black figures during feb…..u knwo the way we did for easter, holloween….dat sort of thing….when feb was ova….they went down. Our history shouldn’t be limited to a month…..we have too much history for it to be limited to a month

LOL and the fact that they let cameras in on the worship. I didn’t like that at all, don’t exploit the house of God. I don’t care who’s worshipping in there. I can appreciate teachers like Hezekiah Walker and them because you can tell they do it out of the good of their hearts.

Yup I think people tend to forget that also! Christianity is what slave masters taught!

No lie, sometimes I question this so called “faith”…I believe in God, a higher power, but there are things that make me say, what????? So you saying we all came from Adam and Eve??? So basicly there is a lot consanguinity….Incest…[/quote]
Yup! I’m more spiritual than religious. The Bible was written by someone, I dont deny the presence of God I believe he exists I just think when you read anything you have to take it with a grain of salt.[/quote]
Please don’t get me started on King James…He re-wrote the Bible to satistify his needs and wants….I took an Eglish class where we had to compare and contrast the Koran (sp) and the Bible…It was deep!!![/quote]
He sure did!! So how you follow something and point back to it to justify what you believe and how you act when the Bible was edited according to what he wanted and didnt want?[/quote]
There are too many questions that need my answer..like, how do you leave out some books, like the book of Mary, but put some in???? What about the dinosaurs????? And I see a whole bunch of negros that look chimpish/apeish….

I really like what you said. Gosh we can never get back what was taken from us. It’s so true. And people don’t even UNDERSTAND the beauty that we possess and all that we were. It makes me angry to hear young people talk like Africa is some jungle with people riding on elephants butt ass naked all day. That’s why education is so important. We were a beautiful, talented and prosperous people, and all of that was stolen.

People really don’t like when their rose colored glasses are shattered they don’t like to talk about the truth but that’s why it’s hard to face. And I would never disrespect anyone’s religion but sometimes we hide behind that too and let’s not forget the slave masters who introduced us to Christianity[/quote]
Yup I think people tend to forget that also! Christianity is what slave masters taught! Makes me think of that scene in color purple when Cellie was telling Oprah’s character Sophia basically dont worry about now, Heaven lasts forever. Sophia was like you better bust Misters head in and think about Heaven later! lol[/quote]
No lie, sometimes I question this so called “faith”…I believe in God, a higher power, but there are things that make me say, what????? So you saying we all came from Adam and Eve??? So basicly there is a lot consanguinity….Incest…[/quote]
Yup! I’m more spiritual than religious. The Bible was written by someone, I dont deny the presence of God I believe he exists I just think when you read anything you have to take it with a grain of salt.[/quote]
Please don’t get me started on King James…He re-wrote the Bible to satistify his needs and wants….I took an Eglish class where we had to compare and contrast the Koran (sp) and the Bible…It was deep!!![/quote]
He sure did!! So how you follow something and point back to it to justify what you believe and how you act when the Bible was edited according to what he wanted and didnt want?[/quote]
There are too many questions that need my answer..like, how do you leave out some books, like the book of Mary, but put some in???? What about the dinosaurs????? And I see a whole bunch of negros that look chimpish/apeish….[/quote]

Tell it girl, tell it! I’m a more spiritual than religious, simply because of the fact that the religion that most Black people hold so near and dear to them was used under the guise that slavery was God’s will. Now I’m not knocking anybody’s religion AT ALL, but I think more people need to do their research before following what they think is right…[/quote]
And on top of that the churches are not being used properly. I don’t identify with any one religion but I can appreciate the power of a congregation uplifting people. What I can’t understand is a preacher man telling you to live in God and not in the world but he drives a jag. Those churches should be our local headquarters our haven a place to nurture. I hate seeing trash and graffeti and shit on the street and a pristine church smack dab in the middle of it. They should take responsibility for the communities they’re in[/quote]
Yes! There is no reason that your congregation is taking the bus all over the world to come to your church, yet you flying around in a private jet. That’s a no! I remember when I used to go to this big church here in ATL when it was much smaller. If I had a problem or needed spiritual guidance I could just knock on the pastor’s door. When the church started to grow and exceeded 20,000 members, the pastor had bodyguards and was literally untouchable. That’s the kind of thing I can’t deal with. And people in the church idolizing these men as if they’re not only human…[/quote]
I AGREEEE!! Those mega church make my stomach hurt..! Its really a shame. JESUS did not drive a jag, fly a plane and Mary was wearing St.john’s suits with the matching wig.[/quote]
That is why one must really educate themselves on the word of God and not expect someone else to teach it to you. These megachurches are what God warns us about, false teachings and hyprocrisy. When I saw Bishop Eddie Long on the tv screen, I’m like WHoa?!?! Who are you? No doubt, his words touch me but his presence bothers me. Like with the platnium bracelets and all that..[/quote]
You’re not gonna find God in a building, You won’t find him any other place but your heart. Be still and listen to what’s inside you instead of trying to find something on the outside. We were given the ability to Love and that’s the key to heaven and you don’t have to donate to the building fund to get that.[/quote]
Then you can also say the same for Islam. There are tenements that each Church uses the word of God to establish. The house of God is used as a place to gather and share the grace of God with others. It is like a community center. And when some strangers see that, they will in turn come inside amd turn their lives to God. Not to the church. In Islam (I have family who practices), they come to the mosque for the same purpose. Bonding. Learning more about themselves in relation to the God they serve.

Exactly. That’s why I’m like how much of this is the truth? It was written by a man. That’s like all history. Just like they say, the winner writes the history (or something like that). You write what will make you look good even if it’s not all true

And what kills me about church, well mega churches…It’s about how much money you have, what car you drive, whether or not you are kissing the pastors ass, and if your suit is from brooks brothers….

I agree like I said above you can’t knock something that can uplift a mass of people but just walking in the door won’t bring your salvation. I know “Christians” who sin worse than I do and I’m a heathen but they think because they go to church they have some kind of heaven layaway plan

I’m not gonna lie, (Toya don’t crucify me) but after reading Midnight, I did recognize some of the beautiful aspects of Islam, in it’s pure form. Like the call to prayer and men and women praying together….yea…I liked that.

You know in 200 years if the human race survives that long they be looking at our words our books and publications just the same as we look at that book. Who knows if they won’t pick up I don’t know some Tupac lyrics and hold that as the word of salvation.

People really don’t like when their rose colored glasses are shattered they don’t like to talk about the truth but that’s why it’s hard to face. And I would never disrespect anyone’s religion but sometimes we hide behind that too and let’s not forget the slave masters who introduced us to Christianity[/quote]
Yup I think people tend to forget that also! Christianity is what slave masters taught! Makes me think of that scene in color purple when Cellie was telling Oprah’s character Sophia basically dont worry about now, Heaven lasts forever. Sophia was like you better bust Misters head in and think about Heaven later! lol[/quote]
No lie, sometimes I question this so called “faith”…I believe in God, a higher power, but there are things that make me say, what????? So you saying we all came from Adam and Eve??? So basicly there is a lot consanguinity….Incest…[/quote]
Yup! I’m more spiritual than religious. The Bible was written by someone, I dont deny the presence of God I believe he exists I just think when you read anything you have to take it with a grain of salt.[/quote]
Please don’t get me started on King James…He re-wrote the Bible to satistify his needs and wants….I took an Eglish class where we had to compare and contrast the Koran (sp) and the Bible…It was deep!!![/quote]
He sure did!! So how you follow something and point back to it to justify what you believe and how you act when the Bible was edited according to what he wanted and didnt want?[/quote]
There are too many questions that need my answer..like, how do you leave out some books, like the book of Mary, but put some in???? What about the dinosaurs????? And I see a whole bunch of negros that look chimpish/apeish….[/quote]
Definitely!!!! Most religions however are used to oppress women!

Tell it girl, tell it! I’m a more spiritual than religious, simply because of the fact that the religion that most Black people hold so near and dear to them was used under the guise that slavery was God’s will. Now I’m not knocking anybody’s religion AT ALL, but I think more people need to do their research before following what they think is right…[/quote]
And on top of that the churches are not being used properly. I don’t identify with any one religion but I can appreciate the power of a congregation uplifting people. What I can’t understand is a preacher man telling you to live in God and not in the world but he drives a jag. Those churches should be our local headquarters our haven a place to nurture. I hate seeing trash and graffeti and shit on the street and a pristine church smack dab in the middle of it. They should take responsibility for the communities they’re in[/quote]
Yes! There is no reason that your congregation is taking the bus all over the world to come to your church, yet you flying around in a private jet. That’s a no! I remember when I used to go to this big church here in ATL when it was much smaller. If I had a problem or needed spiritual guidance I could just knock on the pastor’s door. When the church started to grow and exceeded 20,000 members, the pastor had bodyguards and was literally untouchable. That’s the kind of thing I can’t deal with. And people in the church idolizing these men as if they’re not only human…[/quote]
I AGREEEE!! Those mega church make my stomach hurt..! Its really a shame. JESUS did not drive a jag, fly a plane and Mary was wearing St.john’s suits with the matching wig.[/quote]
That is why one must really educate themselves on the word of God and not expect someone else to teach it to you. These megachurches are what God warns us about, false teachings and hyprocrisy. When I saw Bishop Eddie Long on the tv screen, I’m like WHoa?!?! Who are you? No doubt, his words touch me but his presence bothers me. Like with the platnium bracelets and all that..[/quote]
You’re not gonna find God in a building, You won’t find him any other place but your heart. Be still and listen to what’s inside you instead of trying to find something on the outside. We were given the ability to Love and that’s the key to heaven and you don’t have to donate to the building fund to get that.[/quote]
Then you can also say the same for Islam. There are tenements that each Church uses the word of God to establish. The house of God is used as a place to gather and share the grace of God with others. It is like a community center. And when some strangers see that, they will in turn come inside amd turn their lives to God. Not to the church. In Islam (I have family who practices), they come to the mosque for the same purpose. Bonding. Learning more about themselves in relation to the God they serve.[/quote]
I agree like I said above you can’t knock something that can uplift a mass of people but just walking in the door won’t bring your salvation. I know “Christians” who sin worse than I do and I’m a heathen but they think because they go to church they have some kind of heaven layaway plan[/quote]
I hate them hoes….We have them in my church also…they are sooo quick to look their noses down at me cause I have 4 children from two different men and I hang out….Heffa please!! yo ass running around with the pastor and the deacon…shut yo trap!!!! Aint no sin greater than the other…they hate me cause I’m real with their asses at church….

I’m not gonna lie, (Toya don’t crucify me) but after reading Midnight, I did recognize some of the beautiful aspects of Islam, in it’s pure form. Like the call to prayer and men and women praying together….yea…I liked that.[/quote]
I wont crucify you! There are beautiful aspects of all religions including Islam.

And what kills me about church, well mega churches…It’s about how much money you have, what car you drive, whether or not you are kissing the pastors ass, and if your suit is from brooks brothers….[/quote]
Yep, thats why people shouldn’t assume that big equals better. You don’t see mega masjids around here. They accomodate to make the prayer intimate. My church is big but by no means is it mega. It is only big because it grew in population. I could tell you stories about the work of God in there. But thats my church. God will lead each to his own.

More separation, those who “have” Jesus (like they know his cell number) and those who don’t. I don’t have to whoop and holler or respond with lord willing every time someone says something to have God. My spirituality is private and special to me. When I talk to whoever I’m talking to no one has to know it’s not public its personal

What I can’t understand is a preacher man telling you to live in God and not in the world but he drives a jag. Those churches should be our local headquarters our haven a place to nurture. I hate seeing trash and graffeti and shit on the street and a pristine church smack dab in the middle of it. They should take responsibility for the communities they’re in[/quote]
Yes! There is no reason that your congregation is taking the bus all over the world to come to your church, yet you flying around in a private jet. That’s a no! I remember when I used to go to this big church here in ATL when it was much smaller. If I had a problem or needed spiritual guidance I could just knock on the pastor’s door. When the church started to grow and exceeded 20,000 members, the pastor had bodyguards and was literally untouchable. That’s the kind of thing I can’t deal with. And people in the church idolizing these men as if they’re not only human…[/quote]
I AGREEEE!! Those mega church make my stomach hurt..! Its really a shame. JESUS did not drive a jag, fly a plane and Mary was wearing St.john’s suits with the matching wig.[/quote]
That is why one must really educate themselves on the word of God and not expect someone else to teach it to you. These megachurches are what God warns us about, false teachings and hyprocrisy. When I saw Bishop Eddie Long on the tv screen, I’m like WHoa?!?! Who are you? No doubt, his words touch me but his presence bothers me. Like with the platnium bracelets and all that..[/quote]
You’re not gonna find God in a building, You won’t find him any other place but your heart. Be still and listen to what’s inside you instead of trying to find something on the outside. We were given the ability to Love and that’s the key to heaven and you don’t have to donate to the building fund to get that.[/quote]
Then you can also say the same for Islam. There are tenements that each Church uses the word of God to establish. The house of God is used as a place to gather and share the grace of God with others. It is like a community center. And when some strangers see that, they will in turn come inside amd turn their lives to God. Not to the church. In Islam (I have family who practices), they come to the mosque for the same purpose. Bonding. Learning more about themselves in relation to the God they serve.[/quote]
I agree like I said above you can’t knock something that can uplift a mass of people but just walking in the door won’t bring your salvation. I know “Christians” who sin worse than I do and I’m a heathen but they think because they go to church they have some kind of heaven layaway plan[/quote]
I hate them hoes….We have them in my church also…they are sooo quick to look their noses down at me cause I have 4 children from two different men and I hang out….Heffa please!! yo ass running around with the pastor and the deacon…shut yo trap!!!! Aint no sin greater than the other…they hate me cause I’m real with their asses at church….[/quote]
LOL!! Yeah people think cuz a sin is small its not as bad. A sin is a damn sin!!!!![/quote]
Who dictates sin anyways? Who says what’s right? Because not one man is perfect and man wrote the bible

Me neither that’s why I keep looking back in
People really don’t like when their rose colored glasses are shattered they don’t like to talk about the truth but that’s why it’s hard to face. And I would never disrespect anyone’s religion but sometimes we hide behind that too and let’s not forget the slave masters who introduced us to Christianity[/quote]
Yup I think people tend to forget that also! Christianity is what slave masters taught! Makes me think of that scene in color purple when Cellie was telling Oprah’s character Sophia basically dont worry about now, Heaven lasts forever. Sophia was like you better bust Misters head in and think about Heaven later! lol[/quote]
No lie, sometimes I question this so called “faith”…I believe in God, a higher power, but there are things that make me say, what????? So you saying we all came from Adam and Eve??? So basicly there is a lot consanguinity….Incest…[/quote]
Yup! I’m more spiritual than religious. The Bible was written by someone, I dont deny the presence of God I believe he exists I just think when you read anything you have to take it with a grain of salt.[/quote]
Please don’t get me started on King James…He re-wrote the Bible to satistify his needs and wants….I took an Eglish class where we had to compare and contrast the Koran (sp) and the Bible…It was deep!!![/quote]
He sure did!! So how you follow something and point back to it to justify what you believe and how you act when the Bible was edited according to what he wanted and didnt want?[/quote]
There are too many questions that need my answer..like, how do you leave out some books, like the book of Mary, but put some in???? What about the dinosaurs????? And I see a whole bunch of negros that look chimpish/apeish….[/quote]
Definitely!!!! Most religions however are used to oppress women![/quote]
Its all about INTERPRETATION. Everything thing is a story intended to teach a lesson. But these “Men” who crown themselves as “Teachers” take the word out of context and twist it to form their own “Morality Code”. That is what Satan does. We need to be weary of those types.

I’m not gonna lie, (Toya don’t crucify me) but after reading Midnight, I did recognize some of the beautiful aspects of Islam, in it’s pure form. Like the call to prayer and men and women praying together….yea…I liked that.[/quote]

Yep…and it ain’t whitey’s country either!! The Europeans (whites) came here and (by wrongly using God/religion) eliminated the Native American Indians or (their favorite tale) coerced them to exhange the land for beer, guns or some other nonsense!!
And, probably the only reason lost-soul Morgan is just NOW protesting Black History Month (after how many hundred years of life on earth) is to ease his shame of running away from his wife/succumbing to his evil carnal desires of the white (trash) meat!! Like many lost brothers N sisters before him!

More separation, those who “have” Jesus (like they know his cell number) and those who don’t. I don’t have to whoop and holler or respond with lord willing every time someone says something to have God. My spirituality is private and special to me. When I talk to whoever I’m talking to no one has to know it’s not public its personal[/quote]
OMG yes! It’s like when I go home visit my family and go to the church I used to go to, I look at things differently. I’m like is yall whoopin n hollerin for the preacher, because the drummers is hittin them cymbals, or because the spirit is truly moving in you. One time I saw this preacher start shouting like he had the spirit. He starts dancing and jumping around w/ the other preachers there, but his tooth flew out his mouth. I don’t think anyone noticed but I did cuz I was in the front pew. Man when I tell you he stopped shouting real quick and started looking for that tooth. When he found it he picked it up w/ his handkerchief and high-tailed it to the bathroom.

I’m a more spiritual than religious, simply because of the fact that the religion that most Black people hold so near and dear to them was used under the guise that slavery was God’s will. Now I’m not knocking anybody’s religion AT ALL, but I think more people need to do their research before following what they think is right…[/quote]
And on top of that the churches are not being used properly. I don’t identify with any one religion but I can appreciate the power of a congregation uplifting people. What I can’t understand is a preacher man telling you to live in God and not in the world but he drives a jag. Those churches should be our local headquarters our haven a place to nurture. I hate seeing trash and graffeti and shit on the street and a pristine church smack dab in the middle of it. They should take responsibility for the communities they’re in[/quote]
Yes! There is no reason that your congregation is taking the bus all over the world to come to your church, yet you flying around in a private jet. That’s a no! I remember when I used to go to this big church here in ATL when it was much smaller. If I had a problem or needed spiritual guidance I could just knock on the pastor’s door. When the church started to grow and exceeded 20,000 members, the pastor had bodyguards and was literally untouchable. That’s the kind of thing I can’t deal with. And people in the church idolizing these men as if they’re not only human…[/quote]
I AGREEEE!! Those mega church make my stomach hurt..! Its really a shame. JESUS did not drive a jag, fly a plane and Mary was wearing St.john’s suits with the matching wig.[/quote]
That is why one must really educate themselves on the word of God and not expect someone else to teach it to you. These megachurches are what God warns us about, false teachings and hyprocrisy. When I saw Bishop Eddie Long on the tv screen, I’m like WHoa?!?! Who are you? No doubt, his words touch me but his presence bothers me. Like with the platnium bracelets and all that..[/quote]
You’re not gonna find God in a building, You won’t find him any other place but your heart. Be still and listen to what’s inside you instead of trying to find something on the outside. We were given the ability to Love and that’s the key to heaven and you don’t have to donate to the building fund to get that.[/quote]
Then you can also say the same for Islam. There are tenements that each Church uses the word of God to establish. The house of God is used as a place to gather and share the grace of God with others. It is like a community center. And when some strangers see that, they will in turn come inside amd turn their lives to God. Not to the church. In Islam (I have family who practices), they come to the mosque for the same purpose. Bonding. Learning more about themselves in relation to the God they serve.[/quote]
I agree like I said above you can’t knock something that can uplift a mass of people but just walking in the door won’t bring your salvation. I know “Christians” who sin worse than I do and I’m a heathen but they think because they go to church they have some kind of heaven layaway plan[/quote]
I hate them hoes….We have them in my church also…they are sooo quick to look their noses down at me cause I have 4 children from two different men and I hang out….Heffa please!! yo ass running around with the pastor and the deacon…shut yo trap!!!! Aint no sin greater than the other…they hate me cause I’m real with their asses at church….[/quote]
LOL!! Yeah people think cuz a sin is small its not as bad. A sin is a damn sin!!!!![/quote]
Who dictates sin anyways? Who says what’s right? Because not one man is perfect and man wrote the bible[/quote]
So lets take away the word sin. I think we as people know within ourselves what is wrong and what isnt wrong. WRONG IS WRONG. You cant look down on someone cuz you think what youve done isnt as bad…

People really don’t like when their rose colored glasses are shattered they don’t like to talk about the truth but that’s why it’s hard to face. And I would never disrespect anyone’s religion but sometimes we hide behind that too and let’s not forget the slave masters who introduced us to Christianity[/quote]
Yup I think people tend to forget that also! Christianity is what slave masters taught! Makes me think of that scene in color purple when Cellie was telling Oprah’s character Sophia basically dont worry about now, Heaven lasts forever. Sophia was like you better bust Misters head in and think about Heaven later! lol[/quote]
No lie, sometimes I question this so called “faith”…I believe in God, a higher power, but there are things that make me say, what????? So you saying we all came from Adam and Eve??? So basicly there is a lot consanguinity….Incest…[/quote]
Yup! I’m more spiritual than religious. The Bible was written by someone, I dont deny the presence of God I believe he exists I just think when you read anything you have to take it with a grain of salt.[/quote]
Please don’t get me started on King James…He re-wrote the Bible to satistify his needs and wants….I took an Eglish class where we had to compare and contrast the Koran (sp) and the Bible…It was deep!!![/quote]
He sure did!! So how you follow something and point back to it to justify what you believe and how you act when the Bible was edited according to what he wanted and didnt want?[/quote]
There are too many questions that need my answer..like, how do you leave out some books, like the book of Mary, but put some in???? What about the dinosaurs????? And I see a whole bunch of negros that look chimpish/apeish….[/quote]
Definitely!!!! Most religions however are used to oppress women![/quote]
Its all about INTERPRETATION. Everything thing is a story intended to teach a lesson. But these “Men” who crown themselves as “Teachers” take the word out of context and twist it to form their own “Morality Code”. That is what Satan does. We need to be weary of those types.[/quote]
That why I seek God on my own because when I’m searching I know my heart is pure. I don’t want to take that chance on a slick talking preacher who may lead me the wrong way.

And, probably the only reason lost-soul Morgan is just NOW protesting Black History Month (after how many hundred years of life on earth) is to ease his shame of running away from his wife/succumbing to his evil carnal desires of the white (trash) meat!! Like many lost brothers N sisters before him!

More separation, those who “have” Jesus (like they know his cell number) and those who don’t. I don’t have to whoop and holler or respond with lord willing every time someone says something to have God. My spirituality is private and special to me. When I talk to whoever I’m talking to no one has to know it’s not public its personal[/quote]
OMG yes! It’s like when I go home visit my family and go to the church I used to go to, I look at things differently. I’m like is yall whoopin n hollerin for the preacher, because the drummers is hittin them cymbals, or because the spirit is truly moving in you. One time I saw this preacher start shouting like he had the spirit. He starts dancing and jumping around w/ the other preachers there, but his tooth flew out his mouth. I don’t think anyone noticed but I did cuz I was in the front pew. Man when I tell you he stopped shouting real quick and started looking for that tooth. When he found it he picked it up w/ his handkerchief and high-tailed it to the bathroom.[/quote]
whooooaa *calling her*[/quote]

I agree. I think some people in the church are just putting on a show. It seems as if some of those people are the first to judge as well. I think spirituality should be a personal thing too

I agree like I said above you can’t knock something that can uplift a mass of people but just walking in the door won’t bring your salvation. I know “Christians” who sin worse than I do and I’m a heathen but they think because they go to church they have some kind of heaven layaway plan[/quote]
I hate them hoes….We have them in my church also…they are sooo quick to look their noses down at me cause I have 4 children from two different men and I hang out….Heffa please!! yo ass running around with the pastor and the deacon…shut yo trap!!!! Aint no sin greater than the other…they hate me cause I’m real with their asses at church….[/quote]
LOL!! Yeah people think cuz a sin is small its not as bad. A sin is a damn sin!!!!![/quote]
Who dictates sin anyways? Who says what’s right? Because not one man is perfect and man wrote the bible[/quote]
So lets take away the word sin. I think we as people know within ourselves what is wrong and what isnt wrong. WRONG IS WRONG. You cant look down on someone cuz you think what youve done isnt as bad…[/quote]
I wasn’t dissecting your comment I was just talking about sin I think you’re right any time you do wrong/sin is a step away from God and I don’t think he/she measures in baby steps or long strides and step away is a step away[/quote]
Yup…

Some of you are totally missing the point Morgan is trying to make. Just looking for equality and for black history to be incorporated as American History..period.
These are actually opinions he has been sharing for at least 10+ years. (just read old interviews)
I know it makes for good gossip to think that he left his black wife for a white woman, but having a little knowledge of that situation, that couldnt be further from the truth.
That marriage had been over for years and they have been separated for over 2, making public appearances so folks would stay out of the ‘bizness’. The new chick aint white and neither is his ex’s new man.

People really don’t like when their rose colored glasses are shattered they don’t like to talk about the truth but that’s why it’s hard to face. And I would never disrespect anyone’s religion but sometimes we hide behind that too and let’s not forget the slave masters who introduced us to Christianity[/quote]
Tell it girl, tell it! I’m a more spiritual than religious, simply because of the fact that the religion that most Black people hold so near and dear to them was used under the guise that slavery was God’s will. Now I’m not knocking anybody’s religion AT ALL, but I think more people need to do their research before following what they think is right…[/quote]
And on top of that the churches are not being used properly. I don’t identify with any one religion but I can appreciate the power of a congregation uplifting people. What I can’t understand is a preacher man telling you to live in God and not in the world but he drives a jag. Those churches should be our local headquarters our haven a place to nurture. I hate seeing trash and graffeti and shit on the street and a pristine church smack dab in the middle of it. They should take responsibility for the communities they’re in[/quote]
Yes! There is no reason that your congregation is taking the bus all over the world to come to your church, yet you flying around in a private jet. That’s a no! I remember when I used to go to this big church here in ATL when it was much smaller. If I had a problem or needed spiritual guidance I could just knock on the pastor’s door. When the church started to grow and exceeded 20,000 members, the pastor had bodyguards and was literally untouchable. That’s the kind of thing I can’t deal with. And people in the church idolizing these men as if they’re not only human…[/quote]
I AGREEEE!! Those mega church make my stomach hurt..! Its really a shame. JESUS did not drive a jag, fly a plane and Mary was wearing St.john’s suits with the matching wig.[/quote]
That is why one must really educate themselves on the word of God and not expect someone else to teach it to you. These megachurches are what God warns us about, false teachings and hyprocrisy. When I saw Bishop Eddie Long on the tv screen, I’m like WHoa?!?! Who are you? No doubt, his words touch me but his presence bothers me. Like with the platnium bracelets and all that..[/quote]
You’re not gonna find God in a building, You won’t find him any other place but your heart. Be still and listen to what’s inside you instead of trying to find something on the outside. We were given the ability to Love and that’s the key to heaven and you don’t have to donate to the building fund to get that.[/quote]
Then you can also say the same for Islam. There are tenements that each Church uses the word of God to establish. The house of God is used as a place to gather and share the grace of God with others. It is like a community center. And when some strangers see that, they will in turn come inside amd turn their lives to God. Not to the church. In Islam (I have family who practices), they come to the mosque for the same purpose. Bonding. Learning more about themselves in relation to the God they serve.[/quote]

More separation, those who “have” Jesus (like they know his cell number) and those who don’t. I don’t have to whoop and holler or respond with lord willing every time someone says something to have God. My spirituality is private and special to me. When I talk to whoever I’m talking to no one has to know it’s not public its personal[/quote]
OMG yes! It’s like when I go home visit my family and go to the church I used to go to, I look at things differently. I’m like is yall whoopin n hollerin for the preacher, because the drummers is hittin them cymbals, or because the spirit is truly moving in you. One time I saw this preacher start shouting like he had the spirit. He starts dancing and jumping around w/ the other preachers there, but his tooth flew out his mouth. I don’t think anyone noticed but I did cuz I was in the front pew. Man when I tell you he stopped shouting real quick and started looking for that tooth. When he found it he picked it up w/ his handkerchief and high-tailed it to the bathroom.[/quote]
LMAO! My cousins used to do that in chruch all the time. They used to take turns on who was gonna catch the holy ghost. They would sit around and say Girl I caught it last week its your turn..[/quote]
I tried to catch the holy ghost ONCE but I caught a beat down instead Moms was not amused

It wouldn’t need to be talked about if it was just called history it would be a class that you have to take and pass to graduate.

Didn’t Morgan Freeman say this years ago?? Seems like this story gets regurgitated every year about this time.
I agree with Morgan. Black history IS AMERICAN HISTORY. Our passage and slavery should be included as part of the American history curriculum in schools. I know its ugly and painful, but it should be mandatory. 28 days, once a year, is not enough. The whole, SHAMEFUL story needs to be told in schools. Until we start looking at slavery as American History and not just Black History, it will ALWAYS be the ELEPHNT IN THE ROOM.

IF Morgan really means what he says…in a positive way then, yes I respect his opinion. I don’t know him as a man to make that kind of judgment call about him personally. But why? Why was he on 60 minutes? Answer: Because what is happening his life of course. If you want to talk about Black history then you talk to someone like Dick Gregory. Why Morgan? But okay…I respect his opinion. Although…unfortunately America is not on that level yet especially our education system.

Good morning everyone! Can I just say how refreshing it is for someone to finally come out and say what I’ve been saying since I was old enough to really understand…I’m not a fan of “black history month” either! I’m Black 365 days of the year and I do not agree with celebrating my history once a year! I learned European history throughout the year but all of sudden you want to “celebrate” my history one month our the year?!? Get out of here…pisses me off…

[quote comment="370812"]He would say that since he’s with a white woman now. I usually ignore him because I feel like he plays the same role in every movie- either he is a servant to some white people or he is some sort of CIA/FBI/Cop, but this time he has gone too far.
Racism isn’t going to go away because we stop talking about it WTH? The only way racism is going to go away is if people acknowledge their bigotry, educate themselves and stop using their power to belittle people of different ethnic backgrounds.
We don’t need a white history month because every month is white history month. If he doesn’t get that as old as he is then I don’t know what to say about him.[/quote]

Anyways,since he left his wife, I stopped liking him as a person as much as I used to..still a good actor. But ye, I understand his point on black history month, I feel the same it should be taught everyday, every year as part of American history. However, I disagree on his take on “colorblind”, huh. That is a hot joke. And that pic makes him look crazy as hell lol. Oh boy, Hollywood.

Its true. African American history needs to be integrated into American history. After all that is what it is. Once we get to march we don’t need to just forget about it. Further more, It was innapropriate for you to mention his divorce and his new girlfriend Natasha. It had nothing to do with the rest of the post and out of all the stories you could link it with you choose the one about race? You don’t know what goes on between him and his wife or girlfriend. It may have been for the best. He is a grown man and has the right to be with who ever he wants. Would you rather him be unhappy with his wife than happy with his girlfriend? Her race shouldn’t even be a factor. It is 2009 not the 60’s. This is exactly what he is talking about. Things like this just further devide us!!!

I can appreciate Spike’s humility. Better than some fool screaming ‘IM GETTING ARAB MONEY!!!!!!!” in my damn face. And really, two homes and sending your kids to private school IMO doesn’t necessarily mean “rich”, it means “I’m well off” or “I’ve made sound investments.” But as Natasha rightly said, it’s all relative.

I may not be an African American…but i am an American,so maybe not me,but my ancestors were there,and apart of all of the Black History events…The USA is made up of so many different cultures,religions,and RACE..And every one of those different catagories has had struggles in the past,Which in my opinion is what makes the country so strong.We have all been through it,and we are still standing.United..SO i would have to aggree with Morgan Freeman on this one.MLK and every other person involved with trying to make this country more united is no doubt heroes in my heart.But finally..his dream is comming true,we have a “MIXED RACE” man in Office,and this country is more united today,than it was when he was still around..All morgan is trying to say,is that lets stop celebrating ONE race’s struggles and victories that this country has had.In just one month.Because this country is not made up of one race…Why cant we just celebrate the struggles and victories that this ENTIRE “U.S.A.” has had ..Not just in the bad years..Not just in the good years..Not just for struggles for one race…But for everything we have.For all the rights and freedoms that we all share today…Because in the end..With out the different races uniting,and fighting for us…There is no telling how bad off we would be today……
