Wright Press by Natalie http://naacpoc.org/2008/03/31/ame-church-responds-to-rev-wright-press/#comment-464 Natalie Mon, 30 Jun 2008 05:15:10 +0000 http://naacpoc.org/2008/03/31/ame-church-responds-to-rev-wright-press/#comment-464 As a daughter of a retired AME minister, I am appalled that the AMEC would support Jeremiah Wright's racially divisive rhetoric. Shame on the AMEC for supporting a man who subscribes to the radical, Marxist based Black liberation theology accredited to James Cone. The AMEC is clearly moving towards the apostasy that is spoken of in the New Testament.

Johnson Tue, 29 Apr 2008 12:43:55 +0000 http://naacpoc.org/2008/03/27/why-are-1-in-9-young-black-men-in-prison/#comment-443 I really respect this movement, but I encourage readers, especially the black men, to also become more proactively engaged in preventing our young men from getting involved in this risky activity in the first place by being mentors, school teachers, and fathers. We must be more proactive and less reactive because the fact is that we can be much more effective at reducing jail time, when we keep them from going to jail in the first place. The huge number of black males in prison reduces our power and influence in American Society. Influence is what we need to change the laws that are locking our young men up at alarming rates. Influence can be obtained through wealth, votes, real property, and concerted effort (such as this form). But votes, real property, and concerted effort needs the support of the masses. Substantial wealth can be quite influential in its own right. If we ingrain in our culture an educate first mentality, we can obtain wealth and real property and then utilize our influence to push change, much like the Jewish community. That's just a thought...

At this time we pick up trash every three or four months - not as fast as the litterers do their work, however. At the moment we are busy preparing for the NAACP State Conference to be held here in Alamogordo, October 19-21. We will have another pick-up drive shortly thereafter.
