Honesty - looking at this panel....you could had pulled out a tape of the 1st State of the Black Union and would not know the differnece...This is getting tired. The same problems exist then as now..all talk and no action...the best thing that came out of this was the covenent books.or when the Honorable called out alll fo the ministers and left....He should had ended it with that...


Some of our people thrive on how bad we are being treated. This is no exception..other races get together and figure out ways to fix it...


Ever notice how there is no State of the Jewish Union....or Asian Union....

I am in the Convention Center right now, and I honestly believe black people are pissed at him to a high level, because this joint is not that full or as full as I have seen it in the past. Everyone watch this woman Angela Glover Blackwell though, she is smart and I have worked with her in the past.

We have to educate ourselves and not settle for the subprime loans. If you go looking for a home loan you must be educated about the process do some damn research

PolicyLink deals primarily with housing rights and she founded it so that is her strength.

I am not disputing her I am saying that we must know when we go looking for homes what kind of loan we should be getting these folks should know better than to have settled for subprime loans if they did not have to.

WOW!!!

THAT MESS WAS DEEEEEEEP!! !That man is bad! And he speaks the truth. I still don't appreciate that lady from Ohio who was cackling & smirking on the news when the Texas senator stumbled about Obama. I don't want her to have death threats, but she messed up

 

[Duece]

I wonder why Cleo didn't run for Governer this year.

 

[jedi517]

[followup]

It's getting much better. These people are.... Why is Tavis singing George Clinton music? This is some bullshit!!!

 

[jedi517]

Yep, they caught him on tape giving Edwards money. He didn't go to jail, but he can't run for statewide office... plus we just elected someone with some melanin in his skin so thats really pushing it.

They give solutions ...

The Covenant with Black America ... people just end up doing the same thing over and over again, so they got to say it over and over again ...

 

[Supernatural0981]

I only caught the end of the first session. Hope the afternoon session is better.

 

[34real]

I caught the end of it before it went into a break but it sounds like more rhetoric coming from people in high places.

Im not saying this is a bad thing but what I would love to see is these like minded black people go behind closed doors,talk about the problems,the sulotions and come out with a plan.
