Black power is dead.
It’s never the crime, it’s always the cover up.
Actually, “Black power committed suicide” is better.
maybe. but i’ll have to think about it a bit.
Well, the revolution will not be televised.
Black power is not someone standing at a podium defending his bad behavior.
Black power resides elseswhere, like between my (and your) ears.
Black power may not be dead just yet…however, ignorance and stupidity sure are alive and kickin’!!!!!
The embodiment of black power does not reside with one person but a collection of many,you give the Mayor to much credit.
No, black power is not dead. People just high Jack it sometimes and shrowd themselves in its rhetoric for their own ends.
gazelle, you hit the nail on the head.
but the question is why is it so “hijackable?”
i know the answer.
Doc lets start with a working definition,define “black power”
I’ll give it a shot … this is my first reply, by the way. Black Power is a movement of black people all over the world, especially those in the U.S. Perhaps most prominent in the late ’60s and early ’70s, Black Power places an emphasis on racial pride and the founding of black cultural and political institutions to support and promote black group interests, advance black ideals, and confirm black autonomy.
Perhaps Black Power is the only thing that needs to be dead. Im just saying!!!
Bygbaby
do tell Dr Spence, do tell,
to me it’s no different fom how other “power/solidarity” movements are hijacked
Black power is impatience. It is the bogard made manifest whether or not it is ready for primetime. It is a distinctly America sort of hubris ready to take over whatever world it desires.
Black power is hijackable because people hunger for a great and powerful Oz.
