 Anthony Asadullah Samad Colorblindness was a ploy to refuse to

Every year, radio/tv commentator Tavis Smiley holds a forum that brings
together "the best and the brightest" African-Americans from academia,
political, economic and health care, to hold panel discussions on
what's wrong with Black America, and how we Black Americans should go
about fixing it.
This is a good gesture, if we truly believe it will bear positive fruit
in the lives of African-Americans, to the point of where we will
actually be motivated to take action to improve and take back the
communities that serve to develop and nurture us. I cling to that hope,
for in many instances, the hope of a better future is all we, as
African-Americans, have left to sustain us.

 Jerry G. Watts ...Scholars of black politics need to begin asking questions
concerning the viability of urban electoral politics as a mechanism for
generating upward mobility of impoverished populations. We may discover
that electing black mayors has had a minute impact, if any impact at all, on the upward mobility of the poor.

 Anthony Asadullah Samad Rosa Parks was the original exemplification
that “no” means “NO.” One woman’s comments, “No, I’m not moving,” and
her subsequent arrest changed the way Blacks would see themselves and
their power to change “the status quo.”
