Where do we go from here? This question has been asked several times. In a time of great stress and divide our thoughts (as a people) are divided, as well. One mind, one body (people) is needed.
Changing our circumstance requires knowledge of self, understanding law (your position in it), a common goal (direction) and strategy. This is about
far more than boycotts, marches, being in the media's view and reacting to current events. It has been proven that these methods are not effective.
Knowing who you are is extremely important! When I say this....I am speaking of how you identify yourself. Examine what it means to call yourself "black". Define it (dictionary) and recognize how invalid it is to identify with a label.
Secondly, understanding law and how labels change your position in the eyes of the law.
Next, there must be a defined common goal and something to work towards for effective change.
Finally, a strategy or method must be in place to reach the goal.
Watching the turn of events plays on emotions. Learning to control emotions is critical in war....for clear thinking.
