Yesterday I went to see Raoul Peck's film Academy Award nominated film I Am Not Your Negro which was based on Remember This House, an unfinished manuscript by James Baldwin. The documentary was very well done. Baldwin's work was to focus on his friends Malcolm X, Medgar Evers and Martin Luther King, Jr. “By the time each died, their positions had become virtually the same position. It can be said, indeed, that Martin picked up Malcolm’s burden, articulated the vision which Malcolm had begun to see, and for which he paid with his life. And that Malcolm was one of the people Martin saw on the mountaintop.” Baldwin's words and people like these men are sorely needed today. I believe there are people with the potential of Malcolm, Martin and Medgar among us today, but Black institutions are so fractured that these Brothers simply do have the platforms to emerge our of obscurity. If they do have a platform capable of reaching the masses it is owned by white folks more interested in revenue than uplifting Black people. This renders any impact of the magnitude of a Malcolm, Martin or Medgar impossible. It has been almost half a century since the American people have seen Black leaders and activists of any significance. Today they do not have to be gunned down they are just bought out.

Pioneer creation and evolutions are mutally exclusive, but based upon your response I gather you believe in evolution. There are people who believe man was created in his current form a few thousand years ago. Of course this is what we believe, for we have no way of knowing. We are trusting the people who tell us these things. Also why are you belaboring the point on thoughts being matter? The brain is matter. The energy produced by the brain's activity, which includes our thoughts are not.

Cynique that explains so much. For me everything is an idea theroy or subjective. I feel this helps with my mental fluidity. So i have difficulty with people who say they have an open mind or think critically. When they don't.
