I do not need to link to anything. You proved by you bringing Imus up. You are the person who brought he and the other entertainers into the conversation.
To address what you say was the overall point of your posts. Some people opinions are a detriment to the community, some aren't just a disagreement but dangerous. To ignore these things to seem inclusive is self defeatist. So they may need to be cast out. So yes some people do disagree because they are coming from different perspectives, culture is apart of that. If one has a sense of culture his/her opinion will be different than ones who isn't(again not speaking of you personally).

No need for the sarcasm. I'm not old nor very wise. I'll acknowledge I'm a student have not reached the level of teacher. What would better our communities? That easy; education, a sense of history of accomplishment, self reliance and ownership all from an Afrocentric perspective. Now implementation is the problem. Whining, following the latest celebrity whims and the other various trends does little or nothing for us.
Afrosaxon, Sorry for the sarcasm. But now we are getting somewhere, finally (sorry - last bit of sarcasm). That's easy you say that all we need to do is educate, get a sense of history, self reliance/ownership, etc. and that implementation is the problem. How do you propose we go about implementing these facets into our communities so that we can flourish as a culture?
