hmmmm...good for her.

now maybe she can talk about the new album

rhondab, any news on how the missy/ludacris/badu show was this past weekend?

and Common...

yeah..there's some discussion about it on okayplayer.com

Its hard to believe that its been 10 years since the MMM. I remember watching it on tv like it was just a couple years ago. I was 16.

that soon!?? i coulda swore it was on the 25th! i wanna go sooooo bad

may i ask what the intent is?

i mean, the original million man march stood for atonement, right? it stood for a million men stepping up to the game, no? what exactly is this million family march standing for? what statement do they plan on making once they are there?

at first it was about men stepping up but now it also includes women. the point is to reinforce the importance of family within the black community. the statement is that people want to show is that they understand the importance of children having a mother and a father in their lives. they want to show that their are black families who do know the importance of this. the family structure in the black community is kinda jacked up and i don't want to go into why 'cause that'll take a full page of repetition.

Sassy....just go the millions more movement site. The issues within the black community didn't end with the million man march. Its necessary to revisit the original mission and set a new agenda for the family.

i shoulda just said that

brownsugar said:

you did.. I was only repeating what you said.

brownsugar said:

thanks for the insight. its funny this thread came up because we were just talking about the original million man march in one of my classes yesterday and i had not heard of this current march.

i'll check out the site, too, for additional info.

As long as Farrakhan doesn't resort to his usual Jew hate.
