Hello All:
Well, we're now officially out of Aquarius and into Pisces - and things are starting off with a BANG!
First,
Today is Sir Sidney Poitier's 94th Birthday!! He's just as handsome and erudite as ever. Please wish our trailblazing brother HAPPY BIRTHDAY and thank him for all he's done and tried to do using his talent, craft and love for Black people.
Secondly
FEBRUARY 20 IS A DAY OF ACTION FOR BLACK PEOPLE - IN PERSON OR VIRTUALLY - WE ALL HAVE A PART TO PLAY!!
CEMOTAP - One of my favorite organizations on the planet, under the leadership of the great Dr. James McIntosh, is always in the forefront of activities to keep Black people active, alert, aware, informed, empowered, educated, and free! So whenever they send me info, I try to make sure I post it in its entirety - with just a few personal embellishments.
1 A. Quotation Food For Thought •The overwhelming power of the
white power structure and swift over-reactive tendency to punish Black
aggression, its control over resources, its sustained degrading of Black
self-confidence has produced in a very
large percentage of Blacks what is referred to as Learned Helplessness. The
very strong and largely negative control that the white establishment has over Black lives has produced among many Blacks such a degree of lack of self-confidence that a large
number of them do not believe that their personal and group status can be
improved, save through the help of whites. The utter dependence of Blacks on
whites for their social economic, political, educational, cognitive existence.
This type of apathy has helped to maintain black subjugation, ignorance, lack
of self knowledge, self love, self-confidence, self assertiveness, self
education. The situation has been such that when barriers are down many blacks
continue to respond as if the barriers still exist." Amos Wilson, “The
Developmental Psychology of The Black Child” 1. UNIA BLACK HISTORY EVENT Zoom Meeting

Activist Kwabena Sadiki Jijaga Rasouli of the Clear the Airways Project says that the issue of Black youth murdering each other is at an all time high. He feels that rap music which promotes murder, disrespect and misogyny are not helping the issue and maybe encouraging the values that exacerbate the issue.
