THOUGHTS ABOUT A BLACK POLITICAL AGENDA

THOUGHTS ABOUT A BLACK POLITICAL AGENDA – goals and objectives held in common by all black people – please share Considering culture as activities held in common by a group that is not genetic: activities as religion, art, rituals, beliefs, social practice, and so on. Black culture, in my view, is still in its adolescent stages; adulthood is not yet in sight. Individuals and small groups have attained an adult cultural mind, but the whole of black life here in America and around the globe is without a mature culture. Taking on cultural elements of past civilizations enriches ones cultural development but might do nothing for others in a group. Black people are a beautiful, intelligent, and resilient people; the best that evolution has seen. There is at least one common belief shared by all in our adolescent culture – that is the will to survive and prosper. However, the ability to employ this will does well for some individuals and small groups but not for all others – they simply do not have the skills. Black people do quite well as individuals but fail miserably to translate that success in larger groups. Our cultural development falters because we have failed to communicate with each other across religious beliefs, social class, and political ideology. In order to develop a black political agenda, one that moves all blacks toward a full grown culture, blacks must agree on what must exist for all black people to develop the skills and opportunity for a desired quality of life. A BLACK POLITICAL AGENDA must transcend religious beliefs, social class, and political ideology. MY EBOOKS ON AMAZON http://www.amazon.com/Adolphus-A.-Ward/e/B00OSDSSRC
