The lack of response to globalization by Black America is frightening and troubling. While much of the world has adapted to the new-world economy and new-world standards of existence, most of Black America is still operating much the same way it did in the 1950s and 1960s. But now, throughout Black communities in America, there is a whisper campaign by Black people who don't know each other and Black people who live in different parts of the country, saying to each other, "We are in trouble!" We know it and the rest of the world knows it! Black America, as we know it, is in danger of not surviving globalization.

      I agree we are in trouble. Our religion has taught us that despite the inequities and pain we may suffer on earth, we will get ours in heaven. As Carter G.
      Woodson said,"When you control a man's thinking, you don't have to worry about his actions...He further says...those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others, never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning." We are the only nationality who worships a God that doesn't look like us.
      Nothing will change for us until
      this changes.

        It is incredible how we respond or the lack of it...to crisis thats clearly vital to our life and or quality of life.
        There is a litany of historical voices that echoes to us from our past.. such as Carter G. Woodson, Dubois, Garvey and many more, but only few of us are able or capable to respond in a RIGHT and TIMELY MANNER, Our community have been devastated by conscious and unconscious attacks and frontal assaults ,the lack of institutions and or collective strategic planning in our self-determined interest..
        BUT STILL THERE IS A VANGUARD OF SAINTS who reach out and feed one another with inspiration as the previous commentor has done, and the author of this GLOBAL observation...
