Ascertaining a new level of Black Consciousness!


TBR - Leighton Bradford, Editor-in-Chief
The argument for divine revelation, no matter the position with Jesus, moved his 
spirit and commentary to a different level of consciousness. A spirit that is akin to a righteous awakening. Biblical text described a true minister at the height of Greco-Roman decadence. To be aware of your culture or heritage is important in combating prejudice. You may draw similarities in regards to the contemporary issues that ensue.

 The bible enables every human beings existence. Another item of concern is the desire to not support homosexuality, predicated on a Christian belief.  “If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable.  They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads” (Leviticus, 20:15).  The more recent ban on same sex marriage by California; rescinds individuals with alternative life styles. The act seemingly aligns a cause with Black Consciousness. The feminizing of a young Black male becomes tragic. Heterosexual values must be protected.  The Black family structure is under attack, thus, an alignment with this burgeoning lifestyle is not productive.

Tavis Smiley mentions accountability within his broadcast. A light went off in my head! Tavis should hold PBS accountable; and we should hold Mr. Smiley accountable. Entrenched elitism and the lack of opportunities, allow for subtle oppression.  E. Franklin Frazier described these cats as the ultimate illusionist; their God is materialism, opportunity, and social status, once removed from their Blackness.  As long as there are enough crumbs, their cool like that. Education without the opportunity is useless.   If you noticed how awkward Clarence Thomas appeared during the inauguration.  It would seem that safe African-Americans benefit from the peaceful warriors and thinkers of their presumed race ;moreover, not having achieved the same ideal in kind.

 I offer the reader African-Americans who have sacrificed for Blacks and humanity in general; Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Ida B. Wells, so forth and so on.  Ida B. Wells published a newspaper denouncing the lynchings of that particular period. Several individuals have attempted to keep resources scarce.  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did not sacrifice his life so we could buy a “SUV”.  The African bourgeoisie must elevate their political activity.

 Europeans have sacrificed their lives and freedom for our benefit.  Wilber Force utilized discourse to influence a powerful British empire, eventually ending slavery.  A number of protestant denominations assisted African-Americans within the Underground Railroad. Various European led faiths such as the Presbyterian, Quakers, Rev. John Brown (Harper’s Ferry) and the like.   Many Europeans have died in an effort to promote the rights of individuals of African descent.   The civil war was fought to end chattel servitude.  The south must be resurrected from its past. Recognizing all aspects of humanity, becomes a crucial evolutionary step towards parity.
