@Troy you argue that black people forgot or lost sight of ourselves with the push to integrate as equals to whites, but who was ourselves? Your words suggest a unity or communal organization that did not exist. Remember, Frederick douglass/nat turner/web dubois/booker t washington were in each others lifetime; they did not have similar minds about various questions to the black individual or community. Do most black people want better for black people? yes. But the definition of what that means has never been agreed upon in our community. Sequentially, what you say was a mistake was what many black people wanted. Not all black people, not me, not you or cynique, but in a population of tens of millions, many.

@Troy Can you name a financially successful paper magazine today, in the usa?
-
@Troy thank you, I said all forms, I meant all forms of paper based books, pbooks:: magazines on the rack, newspapers, retail paper books similar. Audiobooks/ebooks are always upward. and libraries are in heavy or growing use. So I misspoke:)

Two questions to any print magazine or emagazine are equal to each other while primary, how do you turn a profit and what is your goal?
From what I have read I see little that convinces me they will turn a profit or have a long term sustainable goal. But I can be wrong.
and I mentioned it, maybe I have more information than you know at the moment

@nels I can be wrong but the following comment from you may have been meant for this post
QuoteI'll be brief. As a generalization:
The (Far) Left | historically not Democrats - Political groups who support liberal or socialist policies and the attainment of big government and asset sharing and equality by any means necessary.
The (Far) Right | historically not Republicans - Political groups who support conservative or nationalist policies and the attainment of limited government, individualism and national sovereignty by any means available.
The (Center) Left and (Center) Right - Political groups who support reasonable compromise to promote and achieve goals that are in the best interest of all of the nation's citizens, sans full consensus.
The (True) Right and (True) Left - Political groups who do not support the ultra-polarization of the nation through extremist views that undermine national sovereignty and a level playing field for all legal citizens.
At the moment, black America seems too fragmented and dispersed into factions that have competing interests that do not serve the ultimate vision and goals of the black community, as a whole.
I argue, that historically, barring legal slavery times anywhere in the american continent or haiti between jean jacques dessalines to henri christophe, the black community in the usa or the american continent , canada to argentina, has never been whole or over 90% alike in a deep way. You said at the moment? when was Black America not fragmented with many factions, barring the times I mentioned?

Many black people online tend to have media where they are knockers. It is the way of the internet in itself. But while this post has a title and I began my prose referring to the culture of communication. M agenda is other.
My agenda is the following, a question.
If you had the ability to place a tool to improve communication online, online only, what will it be?
The video below is abou a case between two black entertainers, mostly for entertainment but a warning to any of you who may one day be truly large epersonalities, if you are not already

@Mzuri I see. I hope you have a pedal powered cycle, get a three wheel , you can get two wheels in the front or back, that will help your back stay strong. and you don't have to worry about falling with a three wheel and ... you can do similar tricks with the wheels like on the roller derby after a little practice

@Mzuri conditioning is the key, athletes play in thier 30s , near 40s some after 40s all based on conditioning, not age, find the time and slowly build yourself up and you can do those moves, it takes time, it takes time, but you can get there...now you may have to take time off your crypto analysis so:) ... get out there and dance on the roller skates
in terms of rollerskating, I like skateboarding plus roller derby. IN NYC many rollerskating rinks exists and I have been to a few, but that dancing on rollerskates or congenial activity on rollerskates never clicked for me

@nels in your opinion when was black america not mostly fragmented, post war between the states? pre war between the states doesn't count cause most black people were enslaved to someone white. so even though a sameness existed it was in total impotency

Define pro black. I think little consensus exists in the black community to how a black person exhibits a pro black stance?
Many parents throughout history are shocked when children's culture do not reflect their own, in the future martians will be shocked their children marry ioans.
From frederick douglass to barack obama, most but not all <not all>, black leaders have emphasized peaceful coexistence with whites. What sign of peaceful coexistence is greater than when romeo marries juliet?

NYC's real estate model is near perfect. The engine of the real estate value is a set of globally rich people who have statistic proof that in five years anything bought in NYC will yield a large profit aside a set of evaluation schemes that can only go up. Sequentially, this drives all real estate value in NYC up. The real estate industry in NYC though dominated by white jews, has people of all phenotypical/linguistic/geographic/age races making money off of it. LAstly, many if not most people in NYC, have never been able to gather in an effort to end the real estate industry's control of the city and thus the relationship to rent.

@nels the most blunt insensitive or unhopeful answer to your question is no. Black America is a community, of at least tens of millions, made up of many tribes. It has no central organization. All those factors means it is not prepared to do anything.

@Delano good question, the following is my answer

@nels I just want to know your definition of the left? who is in it? who is not in it? IF you want you can give your definition of the right... who is in it, who is not in it. YOu can also add if you think a center or not left-right exists and how do you define that?

@Troy I will ask you what I asked the poster...
Can you please describe in your view the goal of pan africanism, not pan africanism itself just the goal? The global community of African Descent, which does not include only black people, or the global community of Black people, which does not include only africans, does not have a consensus on the definition or the goal of Pan Africanism. So I ask you to define the goal of Pan Africanism in your opinion.

Ebony Magazine's September 1963 Issue Was Great!
in Black Literature
Posted
@Troy each one of those men had many black people who aligned to their philosophy. Is that true or not? If it is not true, then as you say, their philosophical variance is merely individual. If true, then it is a communal issue.
Unity is not organization, they are not the same thing. In the comments sections in this forum most black people , you+ me+ mzuri+cynique, all are unified. we all support this black owned website, but are we organized? no. The key here is the difference between unity or organization. If unity is organization to you then you are correct.
The word agree means to like. The word accept is to take something, whether you like it or not. For this phase in my response. I will use the word accept , in place of your word agreement. Why? Agreement isn't about organization, a thing of the body. Organization is about acceptance. When the irish mob relented to the italian mob in NYC, it wasn't agreed it was accepted. Getting all in a group to like a thing is near impossible. But getting all in a group to accept a thing is mandatory if it is to function positively. To your point, black people whether we liked it or not accepted, the situation under white power. Thus we collated into towns and , proving my point, the second white people allowed blacks in their towns, the exodus of many blacks from our towns. Those blacks never liked or agreed to living side other black people, but they accepted it, under white power. But a strong organization isn't when the body is formed under pressure from outside but when it is formed from balance within, ala the irish mob and italian mob in NYC.
And that leads to my point. You question if enough unity exists. I know enough unity exists. Most black people want better for black people, ala this website's mere existence. But unity is not organization. And that was why I said the better stratagem for Ebony is to focus on fiscally wealthy blacks, all throughout humanity. Yes, most black people, including me and I think you, are not part of the fiscally wealthy black group. But, that group's members have a lot in common. All are fiscally wealthy, thus absent the difficulties being fiscally poor brings. Most, over 90%, have a positive relationship to some whites. Now they do not all speak english, are not all african, but the Ebony magazine can bridge those bounds. My original comment suggested ebony can succeed. But not by catering to the entire village, it must cater to a tribe in it. And why? cause the village in the usa or beyond it is not organized. And never was.
Fair enough, we had a solidarity in the past, but that was under white duress. The future goal, is to see what kind of solidarity we can make without pregnant black women being hanged, without black children being electrocuted for living, without formerly enslaved illiterate black men signing their lives away for bread, without black towns at the mercy of the white towns next to them. Black people being forced side other black people cause all of them are afriad of whites is a solid thing, but I rather black people want to be side other black people cause we want to be. And we have yet to prove that, in the usa at least.
