This is an anecdotal story. I grew up in Fort Worth TX and graduated from HS in 1986. FW was (and still is) very mixed between white, black, hispanic and a sprinkling of other backgrounds. My entire education experience was post segregation my schools were very, very mixed. At times I was bussed and at other times other students were bussed. No one, except a few cowboys that hated everyone, gave a damn what color anyone was. All the teams were mixed. There were many mixed couples. Desegregation was WORKING and we were becoming the first generation to live in a post racist world. We have taken MANY steps backwards and it pains my heart that race baiting and dialectic poison has ruined the amazing strides that the previous generations worked so hard to build.

Sure he's a nice person. But he's in the vain of Clarence Thomas. He thinks his education gives him the right to revise/rewrite black intellectual history. And is often intellectually dishonest about the reality of black social and political life. He thinks black men should live vicariously through his achievements. And he constantly undermines the impact of racism on the progress of other black people. He's overrated.

This is interesting as a white man born in Illinois in 1961, and grew up In NC, Alabama and Tennessee. As a child I saw MLK and Lewis as good honest men, doing the will of God. I saw Farrakhan and Carmichael as lost men. Men who did not know God, men who did not know the Love of Christ, men filled with hatred, and I saw them as a huge danger. I later saw Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton as false teachers, lost men claiming to be men of God while their speech betrayed them! And it’s continued to worsen with men like Kendi. Now I want to comment on John,s statement about the 1970s. I actually saw the 1970s as a great time at my Junior High School in Riverton Alabama and my High School in Grand Bay Alabama because it seemed to us that Racism was over. Of course there were individuals who were racisist but on the whole it was good. My schools weee integrated roughly 50/50, and we all loved one another. We went to school together’ played on the same sports teams, worked on the same farms picking watermelons, tomatoes, okra, pecans and cotton. White and black living among one another in harmony, peace, love and mutual respect. We traded horses together, raced horses together, blacks, whites, and Cajuns. Same thing when I went to college in Tennessee and Grad school in Rochester NY. But, but… I was shocked in Rochester in the 1980s and 1990s that it was very segregated and definitely more racist than my upbringing in Alabama. Gentleman I must say that the reason for Racism is that we have forgotten God and turned away from Christ. No person who is filled with and led by the Holy Spirit of God can hate anyone because of race. It’s literally not possible. Instead the spirit filled Christian loves their neighbor!

A friend's father and mother immigrated to the US from Russia (escaped) in the 70's. Their son always thought of himself as Russian. In his mid 20's he had the opportunity to study for one summer on Moscow. He quickly realized he was NOT Russian but completely American. It is popular to claim America has no culture but we, in fact, do have a common culture and then many sub-cultures based on region and ethnicity but we do share a common culture here in the US which is distinct from even Canada.

You must be kidding . . . those guys need to get ahold of themselves. Their ignorance in dismissing the progress made in the 60s, 70s, and beyond due to those figures they named is atrocious. Why Glenn, and especially John, both were able to go to college based upon the pressure those very activists put on society. I know I got a full scholarship to the University of Illinois - Champaign-Urbana for four years just two weeks after Fred Hampton was murdered in Chicago. Why, . . . I learned to read and debate because of the Black Arts Movement. And graduated and went on for a long career in Silicon Valley as a programmer. As we used to say back in Chicago at the time, "How do you sound, check yourself before you wreck yourself. To say that the Stockleys, Panthers and all those others accomplished nothing is absurd. If they accomplished nothing, Glenn and John have accomplished even less, and that certainly is not true. This off the cuff talking about hardcore history is not the thing. It makes Glenn and John appear very stupid; I'm sorry. QED

Furthermore, BPP ran candidates for municipal offices which were a precursor for successful Black candidates in Oakland,, Richmond and San Francisco.

Whereas other closed off communities would not.

To make the “big meal” better in aftermath, then make sure you stay around the table to converse. NOT about issues, but about memories. In my family, we use small candy (candy corn or M&M, etc) to go around the table to share 1 thing they are thankful for, either about the family or from their year. Do that the number of times you have candy (usually no more than 3). Or do one thankful thing, one hopeful thing of the coming months (limited to self or family, not national stuff), and one good memory from the family or from those around the table. This year, in my wife’s family this year, we were also celebrating the 90th of the Patriarch, so we told some stories about his life. Good family memories with laughter and happy tears. Oh..and then go for a good walk.❤

Just one little correction (plus some context): Stokely Carmichael went to Guinea (ex-French colony), not to Guinea-Bissau (at that time still officially Portuguese). Guinea was ruled by Sekou Toure then, no nice regime indeed. Here, Glenn's memory is to the point. But Guinea was also the place where Kwame Nkrumah spent his last years in exile after a military coup (in compliance with the CIA) ousted him from the presidency of Ghana in 1966. Carmichael who renamed himself Kwame Ture at the time, served Nkrumah as a secretary. This to his credit...

Glenn, please add the Atlantan John Wesley Dobbs to your pantheon of heroic and unheralded black stars of olde who understood and revered the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The grandfather of Maynard Jackson Jr., a pal of Martin Luther King Sr., a great orator, a self-taught and lifelong 'race man,' he was a major black political and social leader in Atlanta in the 1930s to 1960. Even less known, Dobbs also enthusiastically risked his life in 1948 by helping a superstar white journalist from Pittsburgh, Ray Sprigle, undertake a 30-day undercover journalism mission across the Jim Crow South. Sprigle and Dobbs' unique collaboration resulted in a pioneering and powerful 21-part nationally syndicated newspaper series that shocked the white North with details of the oppression and humiliation 10 million blacks endured every day under Jim Crow apartheid. Dobbs, among other things, took several of his six Spelman-educated girls to the Statue of Liberty and made them walk up the stairs inside it so they'd never forget the experience -- or the reason for it. Denzel should be playing Dobbs in a movie, but until that fine day, you can read all about Dobbs, Sprigle and the significant (but forgotten) impact their undercover journalism had on the shamefully segregated America of 1948. clips.substack.com/p/spike-lee-still-hasnt-discovered
