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?

If you have to ask, you aren't going to be successful in life.

1. Get over the racism thing (The Man's not after you)

2. Put down that crack pipe ( and any other drugs)

3. Keep family unit intact (in other words don't mess around and stay out of jail)

4. Work hard and get the best education you can.( There are lots of opportunities out there)

I'll put his NEW Book, next to Then Darkness Fled, a story of Booker T. Washington. Good stuff not only for blacks, but poor whites, some Native Americans, Aztlan crowd, and the hippies, beach combers and welfare moms. Let's translate it into 18 different languages. I tip my hat today, and hope that Hurricane Rita doesn't blow this post off of Free Republic, but that it goes around and around.

Male blacks should start taking responsibility for their children or keep it zipped less they plan to stay in a long term relationship so they have a part in raising wholesome black children with two role models.

There are no real role models for family values in the U.S. - only the big "dons" like the extortionists, Jackson, Sharpton and Farrakhan who make a good living off the black male's arrogance and extorting the government to look after all the "babies created" instead of focussing on the males who created them.

The females aren't much better seeming to believe if they make a baby, it will mean permanent protectorship. HAH!

Walter Williams (I think) summarizes all this by saying:

1. Finish high school.
2. Get a job, any job.
3. Get married before having children, and stay married.

It doesn't matter what race a person is, or how poor they were to begin with. If they follow these rules, they will almost never be in poverty.

This problem is NOT a race issue. I know just as many poor white folk that get government handouts.

They too need to get an education, speak correct English, save money, take pride in their selves, their work and their homes.

Poverty is a catch 22. They don't know any different than to be on the receiving end of big government. You have to break the cycle by mentoring and tutoring these folk on a 1 on 1 basis.

Black people have the same road to success as you or me. The important thing is that once you get there, you've only started. Success is a continuous journey spurred on by the pain of even small failure, and the ultimate triumph of God-given will, intellect and especially persistence over circumstance.

They are front groups for the DemoCrap Party.

The same way everybody else did. Hard work, schooling, and by stop having kids before they are educated, employed and earning and income.

Exactly.  Success can only come from within.  It's not always easy but it can be done if you try ... we are all proof of that.  How many of us were born into money and a guaranteed life of leisure?  I sure wasn't.

"Talk proper english for one....no more "hood" talk."

Would the same apply the white southerners with a thick accent who use colloquialisms?

I believe it should be "speak" proper English---since we're on the subject.

The link and the title of this do not match. Do you have a working link for this?

I like your tagline about facts. So I'd like to ask if you know the following:

- the percentage of African Americans on government assistance, and the average income of those who are not
- the percentage of black mothers who have multiple babies by multiple fathers

Any help would be appreciated.

Great point -- you're one of the few people willing to apply the "speak properly" test to whites as well as blacks. Kudos.

They could always try listening to Bill Cosby's advice.

A lot of people, black, white, whatever race or ethnicity, would do well to listen to Dr. Cosby.
