ISSUES OF MILLION MORE MOVEMENT!!!(78)
|
The Issues of
The Millions More Movement!!! 1. Unity We call, first, for the unity amongst Black peoples and organizations. We call for unity amongst all African peoples and peoples of African descent worldwide. We call for unity with our Brown, Red, disenfranchised and oppressed Brothers and Sisters in America, Caribbean, Central and South America, Asia and all over the world. “The Power of One” is the synthesis of men, women, youth and elders working in unity for our total liberation. 2. Spiritual Values We call for Atonement, Reconciliation and Responsibility. We organize in the name of our God (The One Creator) and on sound ethical, moral principles and values. Our Movement affirms the rich legacy and diversity of our spiritual traditions and calls for unity and understanding among our religious faiths and spiritual traditions. 3. Education We demand an end to substandard education in our community. The Millions More Movement advocates, and will develop, a new, independent educational paradigm for our people. We must have a knowledge of self, our history, and the best education in civilized society. We will build a skills bank, the talent of which will be used in the development of our people. 4. Economic Development We will establish a Black Economic Development Fund, with the support of millions, to aid in building an economic infrastructure. We will also offer housing ownership opportunities to check the adverse tide of gentrification. The Millions More Movement will produce and distribute its own products and supports “Buy Black” campaigns. 5. Political Power The Millions More Movement is the political voice of the poor and disenfranchised. We are resolved to take an independent political path in order to achieve political power. The Millions More Movement will be an organized political force of consequence in America and all over the world. 6. Reparations We demand full and complete Reparations for the descendants of slaves. We demand that America take the appropriate steps to help in the repair of the damage done from 300 years of slavery, 100 years of segregation, and 50 years of the misuse and abuse of governmental power to destroy Black organizations and leaders. 7. Prison Industrial Complex We demand freedom for all political prisoners held in U.S. prisons and detention facilities, both foreign and domestic. We demand an end to police brutality, mob attacks, racial profiling, the herding of our young men and women into prisons and the biological and chemical warfare perpetrated against our people.8. Health We demand an end to the lack of adequate health care in our community and we demand free health care for the descendants of slaves in this nation. The Millions More Movement will present a Preventive Health Care Plan to our people that will begin with a campaign to educate our people on healthy dietary, eating and exercise habits. 9. Artistic/ Cultural Development We demand a greater accountability and responsibility of our artists, entertainers, industry personnel and executives, for them to commit to the redevelopment and upliftment of our people. We demand an end to the exploitation of our talent by outside forces. We will make strides in obtaining greater control over the means of production and distribution of our immense artistic talent and creative genius. We advocate for cultural development, and for the knowledge of our original culture to be used as a model for future advancement. 10. Peace We call for the establishment of peace in the world. We demand an end to wars of foreign aggression waged by the United States Government against other sovereign nations and peoples. We demand an end to senseless violence, and advocate peace amongst street organizations (gangs) and youth. http://www.millionmanmarch.org/about.htm http://journals.aol.com/foxxgiavani/POLITICSUPCLOSEANDPERSONAL/ |

I hate to say you sound pessimistic, but you are telling the truth.
"A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy." Aldous Huxley |

He may be right, but I think there is hope. Always remember, there will always be house negroes and just plain stupid negroes who will never agree with us. Heck there were black folks that hated M. L. King, but he still accomplished alot. So it's up to us to start in our own communities and not to depend on black leaders to hold our hands. We have the outline, so lets roll with that.

The only response is MMM or some other fake azz rallying call. ((((chuckle))))....you sound like one of those fools who didn’t want slavery to end...tsk...tsk.....ironic how the losers like you are pretty much relegated to the sidelines....shouting that the sky is falling.....lol!!!!....now...I’ll leave you to your byching and moaning session..... |

No... although some Blacks are better off, a significant portion of Black America is worse off than say, 1950s America. Look around you. Those that are worst off are that way because of self motivational issues. There are no schools you cannot attend today, there are no restaurants you cannot eat at or public facilities you are barred from. That was what life was like for Blacks in the 50's. I was addressing your statement that the original civil rights movement was for the elite. Did Rosa Parks appear to be a part of the elite? Does anyone in Selma seem elite? The people mostly involved there rode the bus to work everyday, they didn't own cars. It really sounds like you should spend more time in research and less time reporting. |

Those that are worst off are that way because of self motivational issues. You would have to provide research and other facts to prove the above staement Did Rosa Parks appear to be a part of the elite? A pregnant unwed mother and a Black male who had trouble with the law, refused to give up their seats before Ms Parks. They were not the " proper Negroes" to represent the race at that time...Or more precisely, the " movement". Edited by raymaxz on October 19, 2005 07:37:56 PM

They were not the " proper Negroes" to represent the race at that time because of their personal history. These were not the people to be displayed on the national media at that time. (We still have this reaction when the worst kind of Blacks appear in the national media) today... Ms Parks was the secretary of the local NAACP. She was a seamstress and could've been a school teacher or whether Black people in the south was permitted to be that was'nt "uppity" that would allow middle-class status. This is what I mean by the Black elite. There were Blacks with middleclass income in the south at that time . Dr King lived in a middle-class White neighborhood as a child. |
