A MOVEMENT FOR THE PEOPLE

MINORITIES DEMANDING PROGRESS

The mission of this group is to provide a place to openly discuss issues of race and concerns of minorities...also to build a network of people with good intentions and desire for the advancement of colored minorities and human civilization.
All persons are welcome to state their opinions on issues affecting the country...The intention is to raise awareness and build a foundation on which minorities will start to come together and dictate the direction of colored minorities for years to come...Also to develop our ideas and bring about solutions that will make the world a better place...


I would like to elaborate on the term minority...minority is a way to quantify a particular part of a whole...minorities are a lot of people in many forms...The ultimate goal of our society should be to work together and enjoy equality and opportunity for all...A minority Is a black man, is a Latino, an Asian, even a White man. sexual orintation can make you a minority, religion can make you a minority...In this forum different issues affecting different types of minorities are discussed...

Given this interpretation of minority, that means together we form the majority...It is times we stop allowing ourselves to be divided and unite in the ongoing fight for true freedom and equality which result in equal opportunity for ALL....

This group will hopefully evolve into a collection of minorities that work together for the advancement and progress of this nation...

Hopefully leaders will develop and mature through productive conversation, and intense examination and evaluation of issues that affect us all...

The way to change the system is to use the system.

Revolution Is not something you learn...Its something you realize.

My selfish heart hates to love, for it brings on me a pain i cannot suppress. Forcing me to accept a battle that has yet to be won. A battle i am proud to lead, but a battle that will ultimately clog the arteries of my selfish heart, and lay to rest not a man that hates to love but a man that died for love.

The young whites, and blacks, too, are the only hope that America has, the rest of us have always been living in a lie.
Malcolm X

We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "when will you be satisfied?" we can never be satified......

I would rather die standing up, then live on my knees......

Patience, Humility, Manners, and Taste, common schools and kindergartens, industrial and technical schools, literature and tolerance,all these spring from knowledge and culture, the children of the university. So must men and nations build, not otherwise, not upside down.
Dubois

We continually set before us the successful rich man as more typical of what America means than the student or the philanthropist or the unselfish man of small income and simple tastes.
Dubois

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.
