About Me

Recovering NEGRO. Still Working on it...But sometimes I Slip.I want to build with you. What is our 5 year plan towards getting political power? What is the 25 year plan? Let's do it. Let's learn the skills, raise the money and build the institutions. Let's provide jobs and build leadership in our communities.This journey is open for everyone if you dare...NO FEAR. ALL LOVE. COMMITTED, SINCERE and willing to SWEAT NOW - so there will be no blood and tears later.

My Interests

Political Education. Skills Sharing.Raising resources for people making change.Very interested, sincerely in Black People - It's a collective love on a large scale for real. I want to be family with all of yall.

I'd like to meet:

People that are not confused on the task at hand. We inherit a struggle to betray or fulfill. With the understanding that social change becomes competitive under capitalism - not interested in indiviuals self-promoting their individual shyt. Build & support organization and movement. We can support each other's culture and economics.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Assata Shakur
