As African Americans we DO need to buy from one another because in most cases, we are our only customers especially in our communities. Everyone else shops with their own and when we don't shop with OUR own, we undermine OUR economic stability. This is one reason we have such a high unemployment rate: No flourishing businesses equal no jobs or industry.

I am a travel agent as well, I sponsor trips in my local community at very affordable rates right, its like pulling teeth to get a dollar out of them.

The one thing I take issue with is your statement that dancing to this kind of music "can lead to rape". Women's behaviour does not lead to rape. Men's behaviour leads to rape. A woman can dance to whatever she wants to, shake whatever she wants to shake. It does not give a man a licence to attack her. Men have been using this kind of argument for millennia, rather than take responsibility for their own actions. It's time for women to stop taking the rap for rape.  less

Before that, they identified with their own heritage. You have clearly been brainwashed and you are trying to deny your heritage, but this can only harm you, it cannot help you or set you free.

They intentionally mixed them up together because they wanted them to LOSE their African identity. That was one of the main tactics they used to keep us enslaved. But African people from different groups and different parts of Africa worked together to free themselves from enslavement. This happened in Haiti and in Brazil, and probably in other places, too.

All so-called Africans are not the same nor are all so-called black people the same.

When I come across blatant spelling errors and speak up, the first thing that happens from others perspective is instantaneous anger. From my standpoint, how can you take a writer seriously if he or she can't seem to grasp or get a decent handle on the English language? Another erroneous error I am seeing are those who put a question mark at the end of a (period) ending statement. Where in the world did that mess ever come from? Why is it that we have a (very) hard time with constructive criticism? No harm, no foul. This is just my *humble* opinion.    less

    • cancer
    • mental health
    • general health
    • complementary therapies.

    I asked this question in my ebook Secrets of the Black Bloggers. Most of the bloggers interviewed said the main way they made money was through Google Adsense. Some described their strategies. If you want to know ways I make money online, go here: These are great ways to earn money as a writer/blogger. You can link to your articles via your blog, to generate more traffic and income. http://www.squidoo.com/fast-and-easy-ways-to-make-money-online

    in the topic How can we really stop the violence? in the forum What are the solutions?
    Monique, thanks for your comments and for sharing about your experience. Time was Black parents and teachers made sure the children in the community worked hard, and believed in ourselves. What has happened? How and why have we started to lose this? Standards be slippin' all over the place these days! I am so glad to hear you are still practicing those principles in your work.

    in the topic How can we really stop the violence? in the forum What are the solutions?
    I agree with you about Kwanzaa, Deborrah. Kwanzaa principles should be observed every day, not just for one week of the year. These are guidelines to live by. And Monique, I talked about Kwanzaa on my radio show. We do need to be talking about this more in our communities. Kwanzaa is now observed by people all over the world. http://ancestralenergies.blogspot.com/2011/12/black-talk-radio-kwanzaa-do-black.html

    B Ra, we each have enormous power and influence. The problem is we often do not use the influence we have.
