Black Love is In Need of Love Today

Black Love Is In Need of Love Today! (Stevie reminds us)
Family, our love is wounded. Daily, our loving ourselves is under attack. Constantly, we're reminded that we're not enough, that we don't deserve the best treatment, that - as Baba Clarke would say - we're "outside of God's grace." We're wounded, so our love is wounded, and wounding. Let's heal it. Let's nurture it. Let's defend it. Let's celebrate it. On Feb. 13th - Black Love Day we'll do just that, by kicking off a year of healing, defending, tasting and celebrating Black Love. Akoma Love. Healing and Building Love. (See Black Love Day - Akoma Love). Use the comment section to send some Love to Black Love. On Feb. 13th, over dinner, through games, interviews and dancing, this year's honorees will reveal how they loved their love - for our people, for themselves and each other. Who are they? Shh... coming soon. Last year's honorees here: web / FB They'll reveal how they healed it, how they nurtured it, how they defended it. Through them, we learn how to wrap the Romantic Love we have or that we seek in a healing container.
  • We honor Revolutionary Love
  • We honor Long Love
  • We honor Young Love
  • We honor Community Love

To honor less is escapist Hollywood fantasy, a pacifier. We don't need that. We need healing love that will touch us in ways that touch and heal deep down, that last for more than just one night, that will support us being better builders and better warriors. "Cause our love is wounded and under attack.

Join us cause love is in need of love today. Black Love Day - Akoma Love

White Images in the Black Mind - The Color of Christ and White Supremacy

By
Wekesa O. Madzimoyo Take a look at Roland Martin's take on the white Jesus issue. Here "To whom much is given....” This one is for my Christian family and friends who may have slipped back into the "color of Christ doesn't matter" thinking. I don't have this discussion much anymore. Dr. Yosef Ben Jochannan settled it for me 40 + years ago, and I've not looked back since. (Dr. Ben's link at the end of this post.) In fact, I've moved forward. But this post isn't about me or religion, per se, and it's certainly not about getting you to change your faith. It's more about "racial scripting" than scripture. It's about religion as a tool for white supremacy and the domination of our people - African people. It's about our believing that God's loves for us (and God's presence in us) is not dependent on us bowing to or ignoring images of white Jesus/God/angels. It's about us caring about the psycholo

But Dougan is no policeman. He's the assistant principal of this school in Arkansas, and when classes resume in August, he will walk the halls with a
