Just a thought... peace, Villager If any of us are in or around Atlanta GA on April 20-21 there is a Bring Black Back conference that might be a place for the AfroSpear gathering mentioned earlier in these comments.

Create a private blog on something like word press in order to work on the 5 to 10 most important things negatively affecting the black community. Get smart, creative and interested folks to point thier intellectual energy in the direction of common sense solutions to problems holding us down. Once we have come up with some concrete ideas then I think we should identify the resources needed to bring change, and start making plans that can be adopted and configured for use in local models all over america. Lastly lets strive for a higher form of debate, lets try create a model that will progress and evolve as needed and remain revolutionary. Let me in! Let me in!

I recently heard him speaking on/updating his "Life out of Context" political mongraph and his latest idea was something around using the net to connect people around their top 5 political issues...hash them out...and build independently from there...something he's building for 2008... that's actually a horrible description, so don't take my explanation but you and Field had me thinking about it in your latest blogs... anyway. keep writing, i love what you have to say.

I love the idea of the Afro-Spear! I am down. I would that we OVERstand as this moves forward the UNITY doesn't mean UNIFORMITY. I feel we should have no fear of outside influences possibly attempting to co-opt the leadership. Maybe we as a hole will be a leadership. Maybe create a Blogger Caucus in the true sense of the word.
