ProfD "tribes"???? I see all of those richardmurray posts are having an impact....lol.

Heavyweight boxing champ and businessman George Foreman has passed away yesterday March 21st. I'm more proud of him eventually becoming a successful businessman than a successful boxer. May our good and beloved brother rest in peace and power.

richardmurray Namaste back to you! That's northern Indian, but would you like me to give you a south Indian (Dravidian) greeting? Vanakum I don't know if I'd consider Wayne County a "white" county. Not only is it half Black. But it also has a very large non-White Latino population and a large Arab population. Don't forget that Dearborn is in Wayne County. Although Arabs are often counted as White, many of them are mixed and actually African/Black. Especially the ones from Yemen who live in a section of Detroit called Hamtramck.

@Pioneer1 when people start throwing around the word populace then you’ll know the influence is complete 😉 I think it is great that Jim Crow laws have been repealed. “Segregation” where people were forced to drink from different fountains could not stay in public hotels use public pools were forced into crappy schools could not get meaningful employment. All those things were bad. however, in desperation to integrate we effectively destroyed many black communities as the professionals and working middle class abandoned “separate” black neighborhoods in favor of white ones. This has been bad too. There have been a bunch of books written on this subject. Disintegration: The Splintering of Black America by Eugene Robinsonis one that I read recently another that I just added to the site is, Black Ghost of Empire: The Long Death of Slavery and the Failure of Emancipation by Kris Manjapra.

There's a difference between SEGREGATION and SEPARATION. Segregation is when a dominant power forces you to live separately from them and THEY maintain the power and control over both their society and yours. Separation....on the other hand...is when YOU control your own community and resources while other groups control theirs. One of the beautiful things about America is that there isn't just ONE set standard or culture enforced by the government forcing everyone to act and think the same and engage in the same rituals and behavior. We still have the liberty to stray off from the dominant society and do our own thing and find out what works FOR US. I think for AfroAmericans a certain amount of SEPARATION from the White community and other non-FBA communities for that matter is not only healthy for us but will lead to much greater prosperity for OUR community in the future. That Separation doesn't necessarily mean chopping up the country and living in separate states; but it does mean: -building and securing our own SEPARATE neighborhoods -building our own SEPARATE hospitals with our own doctors and nurses and developing our own medicines and medical practices -building our own SEPARATE schools with our own teachers and education curriculum Understand....... When I say Separate, that doesn't mean we ban others from living in OUR neighborhoods, going to OUR schools, or OUR hospitals. But it does mean that WE own and control these institutions, so when people do come around...they must play by OUR rules or leave.

ProfD Neely Fuller came and dropped knowledge and guidance for us for over 60 years. Some of us heeded it, some of us didn't....but he certainly did his job. He raised up out of here before the other shoe dropped....lol
