Oct 25, 2007 | KYSHON WILSON | kyshonw@yahoo.comI think that its great what your organization is doing. I live in North Carolina and as you know, UNIONS are public enemy #1 for all the businesses here. As you also know, we do have a rich history in progressive movements (sit-in @ A&T university, Morningside Riots of 1979?, having an all black fireman team, etc. As a young educated ethnic-wearing, I have run into sooo much structural discrimination/institutionalized racism in the 5 years I've been in North Carolina and I HAVE NEVER met sooo many PASSIVE COMPLACENT RICH AFRICAN AMERICANS that are NOT involved in the betterment of the race as a whole. How can I get the issues that need to be addressed on a platform that ALL PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF THE CHALLENGES that systemically oppress? Thanks for your attention to this matter.
