    We as Black people need to solve OUR problems. When that’s done, then and only then should we help others issues.

    7/24/2012 ~ This was a great video by Sister Elaine Brown. She covered a lot of territory and brought up a lot of key issues that we need to keep in mind in our daily activities. Let us get rid of all forms of racism and our false illusions of superiority. People are dying now. All of us should get involved and have the courage of our convictions. Be united, not divided. Venceremos Unidos! We Will Win United! Peter S. López AKA @Peta_de_Aztlan ~
