    tavis-smiley-335.jpgWe Count! The Black Agenda is the American Agenda will take place on Saturday, March 20, 2010, 8am (CT), on the campus of Chicago State University at the Emil and Patricia A. Jones Convocation Center.


    To read the full transcript, click here. (PDF)

    America has experienced its share of troubles this past year: the worst recession since World War I; the continuing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with doubts about the exit plans; rising poverty in our inner cities, suburbs and rural communities; and the disproportionate power of corporations and special interests in Congress. In this "post racial" era, the question needs to be asked: Is there a need for a Black Agenda? The conversation will be moderated by Tavis Smiley. Invited panelists include Cornel West, Valerie Jarrett, Michael Eric Dyson, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Barbara Lee, Tom Burrell, Marc Morial, Ben Jealous, Al Sharpton and others.

    The event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:30am (CT). All attendees must be registered for admittance. Registration ends Thursday, March 18, 2010, 2:00pm (CT).

                You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you... so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?

                You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day.*You have Black History Month.. *You have Cesar Chavez Day.*You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.*You have the NAACP. *You have BET... If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we'd be racists.

                *If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.*If we had White History Month, we'd be racists..

                If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists.

                We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. *Wonder who pays for that??

                A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships... You know we'd be racists.

                There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US . *Yet if there were 'White colleges', that would be a racist college...

                In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. *If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.

                You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. *But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.

                You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.

                I am proud .... But you call me a racist. Why is it that only whites can be racists??

                    I hope 'they' don't think like you.

                    BTW, I saw that Michael Eric Dyson was mentioned in Jordans 1st post; I've met the guy a couple of times, and he is one of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. He is also one of the smartest people I've met.

                        I would say because they are some of the poorest places to live.
