Instill responsibility within our people for our people Increase respect and sensitivity for each other Document known challenges facing our communities Document the impact of these challenges Document solutions Document possible implementations of solutions Shed light on government responsibility to its civilians Charles Rey is on point. Even if Obama himself is elected to the White House, it is still the White House. Do not expect your nation to support you (Katrina) This is not our nation.

Black folks discussing the issues that face not only us but the world at large! Thanks for doing it in such a profound and intelligent way. This is why the national media is so afraid.

This blog and others like it are finally offering those of us in the information age our own unique way to deal with self determination in a way that our parents and grandparents never thought possible. We can effect change offline through marches and protests but it feels as though we can do more through the exchange of ideas...all without ever having to meet one another face to face.

I commend the author on his conflict resolution approach, and I like his Bruce Lee analogy (I probably would have put it more simply: "don't start nothing, won't be nothing". But the author's express is more strategically evocative). Also for Phil, I checked out Afronary and my feedback is that the black background is hard on the eyes. What about using the red/black/green colors in your blog header on a white or lighter background)? Cheers all Greetings all,
