“Take Back The Black Community Consciousness". It has been hijacked by embedded operatives who don't intend to develop the COMPETENCIES within. We once controlled this consciousness, focusing our activism directly upon our permanent interests. Today the "Malcolm X Political Football Game" has us as starters and some believe that this playing time translates into absolute progress for our people. My goal is to hold our permanent interests in their faces, forcing them to explain their actions.

Even In A Democrat On Democrat Campaign In SC - Some Blame The Electronic Voting Machines For Alvin Greene's Victory
Just once I would like to see one of the multitude of "Democrats who are Black" faces that stand behind the podium as their party leaders wage an attack upon Alvin Greene stand up and remind them that, absent proof of fraud - Alvin Greene won fair and square.
It is fully understood that Alvin Greene was not the candidate of choice for the South Carolina Democratic machine. We got this. I only ask the question - "At one point does this machine's notation that 'we did not plan to have this candidate as our representative' turn into the statement 'We can't have this Negro as our candidate and have to get rid of him by any means necessary'?"
I am not asking anyone to stand up for Alvin Greene because he is Black.
There is a point where the streams of attack that are put upon him, as they conjure up excuses as to why he 'cheated' in some underhanded way that they can't prove - becomes evidence that there is some other force involved that affords the party leaders to so fully repudiate this man who followed all of the rules and the "Democrats who are Black" that choose to be silent and 'take one for the party'.
Since the symbolic importance is so often the justification of a Black individual running for office - at what point will these 'Democrats who are Black' defend Mr Greene on these terms even if he was not the candidate of their choosing?
I wonder if any of them even met with him, coaching him along on his inevitable public debate with the Republican DeMint?
I am not expressing any personal support for Alvin Greene what so ever. I am only inspecting the machinations of certain forces that are swirling around this issue of his candidacy.
