Some of your points are valid. I gotta admit. I myself don't like the folks who come in the hood for show. So I follow you on that part.

I wish Tavis Smiley well when he publishes the memoirs of R Kelly. Can't wait for that book to come out.

It’s seems like the only language you speak is bitch. I THOUGHT I was talking to an intelligent man who had the mental capacity to discuss topics without anger and name calling. But you have proven me wrong time after time.
Your 300 scholarships are cute, keep up the good work. But son don’t ever try and challenge me on what I have done for the community. Last year alone I raised close to 175,000 to help fund scholarships and training programs in “our†communities. Do you need a check? My “tired ass†is done having these pointless conversations with you. You can continue your verbal masturbation on why everyone else is not doing shit by you damn self.
deuces!

Listen up maggots! And that's an order!
As the daddy from the movie "Taken" said to his daughter's stepfather at the beginning of the movie.
"Now is not the time for d__k measuring!"
People, can we stop throwing what we do to help our communities around like its the socially-graceful version of saying "Dis my block, punk," or "I run this social advocacy shat right chea, podnuh."
Y'all starting to sound like Tony Montana hopped off on coke in a bubble bath smoking a cigar saying "Who put this shat together? Me! That's who!"
IMO, I'd rather not know who's doing the work to help our communities. In my line of work, ironically, when folk start beating their chests about what they do, that's when the increased scrutiny occurs and sometimes there are let's say....discrepancies, dig. And those "discrepancies" do more to hurt their particular case more than the work they're doing.
I always applaud people that do good works in their communities. However, don't beat your own chest—show a little humility and let someone else do your PR for you.

American Politics are very minor compared to the rest of the world. We argue behind computer screens. They shoot people in the streets.

Come on people. This thread is a prime example as to why we aren't making any MAJOR progress right now. We can't come together and come up with SOLUTIONS. We down each other and turn things into a pissing contest. We gotta come together folks. This is a serious issue.
Back to the topic. I enjoyed the State of the Black Union and I think we need more things on that level to address the issues in our communities. If we don't do then who will?

I went to the one in New Orleans at the Convention Center, I enjoyed it quite well. Dick Gregory was going off.

It ain't about no "pissing" contest.. the young lady asked a question and I gave her an honest answer.
I didn't even address her.. I stated my opinion and asked a valid question that didn't put "her" on the spot.
I guess I can't comprehend what some of you in here are saying about how great/good the SOBU was/is when I'm in the hoods here in New Orleans and outside of the music after school programs me and a few others are involved with, I 'm seeing a difference in those communities.
The only question I was asking and still is asking is:
What notible changes did the "SOBU" make in "any" urban community?
I would honestly like to know... Because outside of the meeting I have not seen nor heard of any issues being attacked here in New Orleans and lawd knows it's many issues that could be attacked by such large groups like this "SOBU"

I think you are failing to understand what the State of the Black Union was. In my understanding and what I got from the ones that I watched, was situations like what you mentioned. Your ideas/program was a byproduct of the SOBU. Now I'm not saying that the SOBU gave you your idea, but it was a symposioum of people who talked about the issues facing Black America and offered possible solutions. It was up to us as individuals to take their suggestions, marinate on them, tweak them and to come up with ways to serve and better our individual communites, as you did with your program. That was the true meaning, IMO of the SOBU conference. It is not for the panels of speakers collectively to go out into the cities and do good. So technically, the SOBU could do nothing. The same with the Million Man March, it wasn't Farakhan and his organizers duty to go out to every city and effect change. It was up to the attendees that were there, those watching on TV and others to go back into their homes and communities and to try and make a difference. Some did, some didn't and most we will never see. The Hoodie Awards that you mentioned, are the same deal. Now I don't know head nor tail of what businesses won the awards. Haven't seen any national recognition, (so I disagree with your national exposure theory) but if it inspires my barber shop or my hole in the wall fish stand to be a little cleaner because now they want to compete for the award or if it helps someone to open a shop in a depressed community to help out the community, then it works. And these are things that I may never see or realize as I drive by on my way to the burbs.
So basically what I'm saying is, I get where you are coming from, but honestly my problem is more with Tavis than the SOBU, and we have to realize just exactly what these things are; vehicles/avenues to come together exchange ideas, celebrate others and to leave inspired to do more. They're not the agent of change, we are.
