http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/Na... There are some outstanding speakers. The brilliant Dr.Michael Eric Dyson, clarified the confusion that Black Americans have about the office of President and man, all the speakers weighed in on understanding how Black people are viewing the President. I agree with self sovereignty which several speaker elucidated. We are the ones who demand what we need. The problem is that we keep talking about a Black agenda, a Hispanic Agenda , a Jewish Agenda...I disagree. To insist on distribution of goods and services based on a flawed concept created by white (British) anthropologists is to buy into the exact premise of oppression and self directed superiority.
I was watching Valerie Jarrett closely . President Obama's close confidant was born in Persia. (Iran) and speaks farsi, fluently. Now what I am observing is how much there needs to be an issue around that we can bond as one.
We all need to come together against those who use exaggerated wealth to control those of us who have less or prefer to gain our billions in spiritual wisdom and power. Yes there is a power that those on a higher vibration possess.
(Chicago, IL.) - Moderated by Tavis Smiley, the discussion, We Count! The Black Agenda is the American Agenda took take place on Saturday, March 20, 2010, on the campus of Chicago State University at the Emil and Patricia A. Jones Convocation Center.
(TavisTalks.com) - America has experienced its share of troubles this past year: the worst recession since World War I; the continuing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with doubts about the exit plans; rising poverty in our inner cities, suburbs and rural communities; and the disproportionate power of corporations and special interests in Congress.
In this “post racial” era, the question needs to be asked: Is there a need for a Black Agenda? The conversation was moderated by Tavis Smiley. Invited panelists included Cornel West, Valerie Jarrett, Michael Eric Dyson, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Barbara Lee, Tom Burrell, Marc Morial, Ben Jealous, Al Sharpton and others.
