A proposal sent to Black community leaders about a possible debate on political issues including race, ethnicity and gaining greater economic advantage for Black people and Black youth. __From Tracy Charles Gibson.
***************I would LOVe it if Ramona Africa and / or Pam Africa could arrange for, with my help if you need it, arrange to have a two-hour-long nationally televised debate with two Known Republicans about race, the treatment of Black youth by police, the Mumia case, MOVE and their abuse, economic development for small Black businesses, How to reach the proper education of Black children and Black youth, and Who really owns this great land that ( I feel ) was stolen from the Native Americans and should be called Turtle Island and given back to them over a ten-year period. (I heard from a little Gibson Bird that ABC is very interested. This would get great ratings in the current national climate in our land, which is heated politically and, strangely, opening a great deal of opportunity for Black People. Let me know what you say. Talk to some of MOVE's financial supporters. If you want to do this, I can help with PR and getting funding and sponsors. There would also have to be ground rules set up for the debate. ( You can use video images of President Ronald Reagan signing the King Holiday bill, Stevie Wonder singing Happy Birthday, Delbert Africa's beating, Mumia talking, the Black Panthers being stripped by Philadelphia police under Frank Rizzo, The massacre of 300 Black People at Black Wall Street in the 1920's & the destruction of Black Wall Street,, Black Lives Matter's demonstrations and their points of view, the views of Black preachers like Jeremiah Wright and Paul Washington, the murder of Black Panther Fred Hampton, James Baldwin and Arnold Jackson giving speeches or on Television, Black Gays and Black Lesbians at Black Prides ``wasting money'' at White-owned hotels in Atlanta, a Black citizen asking why we can't raise money for student salaries at Black colleges and Black universities, a preview of my new book ``The Re-Awakening of the African Diaspora'', Angela Davie, Ramona and Pam giving speeches, Rizzo with a black nightstick in his cummerbund, the beatings of Black school children by Philadelphia police, and the Frank Rizzo Statue demonstrations for starters. Meanwhile, I want you both, if you can find time, to watch ``The Great Debaters,'' starring and directed by Denzel Washington and ``Black Is, Black Ain't,'' and ``Tongues Untied,’’ by director Marlon Riggs .*****
*****(One of the things I do as a Black political activist& promoter of Black businesses is advocate for clean, pristine, clear water for Black Africa. Lack of clean water is at the root of many diseases on the continent of Africa, according to many reliable health sources.)
