Opportunity for Activism

I see a great opportunity to educate people during the release of Denzel Washington's new move American Gangster. When it is released on Nov. 2nd, I am going to hand out LEAP promotional DVDs. I am hoping their are others interested in doing so. I am hoping there will not be any permit issues. I spoke with Jack Cole Sunday morning about it. Fifty DVDs will be $75 dollars. Anyone else who is interested please get in touch with LEAP.


I have posted some stuff on that very topic

I have been having a discussion with Cliff Thornton on the subject. Read Bought and Paid For.

Basically the government is paying black ministers for "rehab programs" . Which is why they love enforcement of prohibition. They are more than willing to destroy their own communities to keep the money coming. There are always more than enough Good Germans.

Getting the people most affected to care

I have found time and again that blacks and minorities can't see past the drug dealer on the street. Until we are able to get people to see past that, it will be hard to motivate them to want change.

When people lose family members in the street, the last thing they are going to be is rational.
