Re: Dominican Papi:Greg s no match for me
greg,
TW said Cabrini Green AND the South Side...How come I get the feeling that you are one of those who thrive on the Civil Rights movement. Like Al Sharpton and Jesse. Neither is an effective agent of change nor in my opinion want to be. If all of a sudden everyone was treated equal, they would have no source of income or publicity. The true civil rights movement is being fought by those who go to work every day and help bring about change, one small step at a time. They are not begging to be recognized, not begging for handouts, not asking for reparations. They are hard working people who make change happen by being good representatives of the community.
My heroes of the Black movement are men like Vernon Johns, Ralph Abernathy, Malcolm X. These men preached about Blacks pulling themselves up, not depending on being given something. The so called Leaders of the Black Movement today seem to want everything given to them. They preach victiminization (probably misspelled that one). Whats sad is that so many beieve in them and follow them. Where has it gotten them? The true leaders of the Black movement are the pastors of local churches, the teachers at the local schools, the businessman who struggled but made good, especially those who did it in the neighborhood, and most important the mothers and fathers (all too often the single mother where the father took off) who insist on their children doing well in school and living right. If you are one of these then I believe you are part of the solution, if you are in the mold of the "leaders", part of the problem.
You accuse TW of trying to act worldly, then you turn around and do the same thing. We are all the result of our experiences and worldliness doesn't mean a hill of beans when you get down to it.
