My point is that isn’t it very obvious as exemplified by just how successful the Black Wall Street was within the legal framework/fundamentally hostile status quo that it had to be destroyed by military force, underline exactly why it is still a valid template for the organisation of our...

:) No, Orisons, I don't feel emasculated. I'm a woman, bro:cheerleader: We *both* can have valid points about the history *and the people* who were the original Black Wall Streeters. Truth is, we seem to see the significance of the Greenwood folks and the tragedy that they lived through...

First, I guess mom's decided on this kind of response in lieu of a butt whuppin. I hope this works positively (for both of them), especially the part about facebook (even as it has also made it to youtube). Second, I suspect her daughter will think at least twice about acting up in class...

Funny you should wonder (in regards to what those wealthy and well-to-do people *did* with their wealth), Orisons. Funny. They INVESTED in the educations and businesses belonging to fellow Negroes STATEWIDE! They paid for full ride college educations for children that *were not* their own...

Yeah. The 'disappeared' white teacher that would PUSH for excellence (like in the then *old days*). Truth is, I had 2 of them--one in the 8th grade in Az, and one in the 10th grade in Kali. Mrs. Johnson in algebra/geometry/pre-trig/pre-calc--her stuff covered ALL of those areas and she very...

I'll tell you this much, KPITRL, I recall having only Black teachers, women AND men as teachers up until 1970. In 1970, *all of a sudden* I had more white women teachers than anything else! I'm saying, white women teachers *teaching* us Black kids in hood schools! Filling out the admin...

In my family, the *fight* was only worthwhile IF 'separate but equal' really would have turned out to be *separate* but EQUAL, with equality to mean more of the communities' tax dollars coming back into our communities. At that time, the largest segregated Negro community in Phoenix (known as...

Well, I can't honestly say that yt wouldn't have come a'huntin eventually, myself--mainly because *integration* nationwide pretty much shredded most all of our prior segregated communities, so why not Phoenix's communities, too--but I do remember the times I'm posting about--particularly here...

I should add: The Negro Phoenicians--the ones who actually encouraged the Greenwood exodus to Phoenix in the first place--they, too, took this same lesson to heart (no flashing in regards to wealth-building), and this is why yt NEVER came hunting to destroy segregated *Black Phoenix*. Thus...

Orisons, in the aftermath of the destruction of Black Wallstreet, quite a few families/businesses came *by invitation* to Phoenix, Arizona. Here, they were able to set themselves up, again, first as thriving families and as *experienced* business entrepreneurs, but within the socio-political...

Keita and Shikamaru: You both might find this interview interesting: http://www.intuition.org/txt/dawkins.htm Here's an excerpt: MISHLOVE: Is there anything more specific about Bacon's work -- we have about a minute left -- that addresses us today? You said he set things in...

Polyandry. Maybe 7-8 years ago, at a different site, I was posting to a member who was really strongly opposed to polyandry (the forum topic). He argued from the position that he couldn't imagine how any people could prosper under such a marriage system. Though against polygamy--he was a staunch...

Poets will be able to not only post their works, but they'll be able to include an audio reading of each poem, too? One Love, and PEACE
