IS TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT KILLING BLACKS?
Upcoming Conference Co-Sponsored by BOND and The Heritage Foundation to Address Crisis in Black America
Los Angeles- In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and just days before Louis Farrakhan’s Millions More Movement event (October 14-16), BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny and The Heritage Foundation will host “The New Black Vanguard Conference II: Reclaiming Our Destiny” on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 1-4 p.m. EST at The Heritage Foundation’s Allison Auditorium (214 Massachusetts Avenue, NE, Washington, DC).
Building on last February’s successful conference (The New Black Vanguard Conference: Responding to The Call), the best and brightest Black conservatives from across America will gather on one stage to address critical issues confronting Black Americans and the country at large.
Participants include: Dr. Shelby Steele, Senior Fellow, The Hoover Institution; Peter Kirsanow, Member U.S. Civil Rights Commission; Linda Porter, Hurricane Katrina Survivor and Founder of Jochebed Education Project; Joseph Phillips, Actor and Columnist; and Moderator, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Founder and President of BOND.
The following topics will be addressed at the conference:
-Is too much government dependency destroying Black families?
-Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina: did racism play a role?
-Is Louis Farrakhan’s Millions More Movement a scam to fleece Black Americans?
-Why aren’t Black churches addressing the moral crisis in urban America?
-How can Black Americans achieve true success?

Ping for all you east coasters....
The answer's easy. The process is not. Get an education, and vote the Democrats out of office.
"How can Black Americans achieve true success?"
- Easy. Stop sucking at the Governments tit. And two, take pride in themselves, their work and their property.
Dump all their leaders who preach only "woe is me, give me more, whaaaaaa!"
Yes! and quit listening to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and all those others so called spokesman for you all.
Sounds great. They should sell tapes, for those of us stuck at home with babies.
This thread is going to get ugly fast.
This would be great, if anyone in the Black community listened to Peterson.

Jusy by the book, they tell you how in every post.
Talk proper english for one....no more "hood" talk.
So agree....Rush had a guy form BOND on his show and this group wants left blacks up not keep them down.....I hope more start paying attention to them
Thank you for your service to this country!!!
Yep, then after they learn to 'talk' proper English they can learn to speak it.
There are many among you who have. Have the good sense to ask, listen and give consideration to what they have to say.
They could always try listening to Bill Cosby's advice.
About a week or so ago, one of our local radio talkers had an interview with Rev. Peterson. Alas, I tuned in almost at the end, but from what I heard, this man is good. He's the kind of leader African-Americans need...not Jessie, Al or Louis. But unfortunately, you won't hear of Rev. Peterson in the mainstream media.
Education is the key. I also think that black americans need positive role models not Rev Al, Jesse Jackson, or 50 cent.
I have Rev. Peterson's book, and I think it's very good, but there are a variety of speakers at this event whom I'd like to hear, if I had the opportunity.
