Free Jena 6
Dear friend please read this post below, cut and paste it onto your site and spread the word...
I just learned about a case of segregation-era oppression happening today in Jena, Louisiana. I signed onto ColorOfChange.org's campaign for justice in Jena, and wanted to invite you to do the same.
http://www.colorofchange.org/jena/?id=1975-364819
Last fall in Jena, the day after two Black high school students sat beneath the "white tree" on their campus, nooses were hung from the tree. When the superintendent dismissed the nooses as a "prank," more Black students sat under the tree in protest. The District Attorney then came to the school accompanied by the town's police and demanded that the students end their protest, telling them, "I can be your best friend or your worst enemy... I can take away your lives with a stroke of my pen."
A series of white-on-black incidents of violence followed, and the DA did nothing. But when a white student was beaten up in a schoolyard fight, the DA responded by charging six black students with attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
It's a story that reads like one from the Jim Crow era, when judges, lawyers and all-white juries used the justice system to keep blacks in "their place." But it's happening today. The families of these young men are fighting back, but the story has gotten minimal press. Together, we can make sure their story is told and that the Governor of Louisiana intervenes and provides justice for the Jena 6. It starts now. Please join me:
http://www.colorofchange.org/jena/?id=1975-364819
The noose-hanging incident and the DA's visit to the school set the stage for everything that followed. Racial tension escalated over the next couple of months, and on November 30, the main academic building of Jena High School was burned down in an unsolved fire. Later the same weekend, a black student was beaten up by white students at a party. The next day, black students at a convenience store were threatened by a young white man with a shotgun. They wrestled the gun from him and ran away. While no charges were filed against the white man, the students were later arrested for the theft of the gun.
That Monday at school, a white student, who had been a vocal supporter of the students who hung the nooses, taunted the black student who was beaten up at the off-campus party and allegedly called several black students "nigger." After lunch, he was knocked down, punched and kicked by black students. He was taken to the hospital, but was released and was well enough to go to a social event that evening.
Six Black Jena High students, Robert Bailey (17), Theo Shaw (17), Carwin Jones (18), Bryant Purvis (17), Mychal Bell (16) and an unidentified minor, were expelled from school, arrested and charged with second-degree attempted murder. The first trial ended last month, and Mychal Bell, who has been in prison since December, was convicted of aggravated battery and conspiracy to commit aggravated battery (both felonies) by an all-white jury in a trial where his public defender called no witnesses. During his trial, Mychal's parents were ordered not to speak to the media and the court prohibited protests from taking place near the courtroom or where the judge could see them.
Mychal is scheduled to be sentenced on July 31st, and could go to jail for 22 years. Theo Shaw's trial is next. He will finally make bail this week.
The Jena Six are lucky to have parents and loved ones who are fighting tooth and nail to free them. They have been threatened but they are standing strong. We know that if the families have to go it alone, their sons will be a long time coming home. But if we act now, we can make a difference.
Join me in demanding that Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco get involved to make sure that justice is served for Mychal Bell, and that DA Reed Walters drop the charges against the 5 boys who have not yet gone to trial.

Building Better Black Relationships
As I continue to develop the BlackMomsClub and connect with other Black Woman online on this is very clear to me - Black Women love to talk about Black Men. We talk about dead beat dads, we talk about single motherhood, black men with white women, down low brothers, and everything else in between. However there isn't very much focus on the real issue, the thing that we are all trying to figure out ... How do we, as Black Women, create and maintain healthy relationships with Black Men? Whether your a mom or not, if you have an interest in the opposite sex, I'm sure this question has crossed your mind, but it's not something we talk about as much as all the other stuff.
That being said, I thought it was high time I devoted a section of this blog to talking about Black Love and Black Relationships. I want to focus on the good moreso than the bad because we hardly ever talk about the good stuff like strong Black Couples, or Good Black Men. I also want to here from readers about their experiences with Black Love.
This is an important topic to me because if my son, or any black child is going to grow up and create strong black family structures, they need to be able to imitate the positive interactions they see between their parents.
So that being said, Black Love Lives! Let me show you how much it does...

The pains of a Black Father
Today I read a great post on izania, from one man who talks about his role as a strong Black Father and what he feels is missing in the Black Community as far as more black dads involved in the lives of their children.
Read the post: The pains of a Black Father
In response to his post, I thought it important to point out...
Although I am not a father, I am a mother, as one who does a great deal of research on the topic of Black Families I would like to share what I know...
However small it may seem, there is a growing number of black fathers who wish to not only be an active member of their children's lives but connect with other fathers who are on the same page.
I know we need to get more black dads on track, but as the same time we also need to demystify this belief that all black men run away from the responsibility of taking care of their children. After all, one way to fix the problem is to lead by positive example and we can't really do that if we don't acknowledge those do right dads.
That being said please take a look at some of these sites:
* African American Dad: www.fatherdad.com
* Proud Poppa: www.proudpoppa.net [A Magazine]
* The Million Father March Project: www.blackstarproject.org
* Black Marriage in America
These websites and many others, along with books, films and articles are featured in my eGuide: Proud Poppas and Phenomenal Black Fathers: a close look at African American Fathers and Father Figures who make the black community better for all of us.
Again, am just a lady but you know I had to had my 2 cents.

The Black Family
One of the most unique attributes of the American Black Family is the role of the Matriarchy. Whereas most of western culture is founded on the construction of a dominant patriarchal figure, the roots of Black culture are deeply embedded in the role of the mother. The dominant black matriarch emerged out of the system of slaver and fell into the restrictive social definitions of gender. In other words, throughout the days of slavery, black males had no control over the well being of his partner or children. Black women, however, were able to retain a maternal power derived from being both childbearings and managers of both their young and those of their master.
When slavery ended, blacks regained control over their bodies, but the mental chains of oppression were still visible. Segregation, miseducation, and poverty made it almost impossible for black men to acquire the patriarchal power common to their male counterparts. More over, black woman were accustomed to being dominant figures in the household, and have retained that role to this day. It is true that there are cases in which black fathers claim their title as man of the household, but for the most part the matriarchy lives on.
Could there possibly be anything wrong with that? What do you think?

Touched By Boys Loved By Men
A Collection of Poems by LaShanda Henry
It's a Father Daughter ThingAn Excerpt of Proud Poppas - Maghoany Momma Guide #10
No one will argue that sons need their fathers. Dads know how to teach their little boys to grow up and be men. They provide them with the type of discipline and insight that only a father can give. Words can not express how important it is for every boy to have a father, but what about every little girl? Is it equally important for our girls to have a father figure in their lives?
The truth is that every little girl needs her father. Fathers do a lot more for their daughters than simply serve as a source of protection. They can teach their daughters how to be just as strong as little boys. Moreover, fathers have the ability to show young girls what a healthy man-woman relationship should be through their interaction with their spouse, children, and others. Every woman looking for a good man should be able to find someone who reminds her of her father.
Gwyneth Paltrow expressed the impact her father had on her life in a very touching episode of Oprah. She spoke of the time her father took her on her first trip to Paris. Upon returning home from what could only be described as an amazing experiencing, Gwyneth’s dad asked her if she knew why the two of them took this trip without the rest of the family. When she replied no, he told her it was because he wanted her first trip to Paris to be with a man who would always love her. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every father could express such a sentiment to their daughter in their own way?
In short, both our boys and our girls need to have positive father figures around them so that they can visualize and hopefully recreate more healthy family structures within the black community.

Black Men Vs Black Women: Fixing Our Issues
“Between The Lines”: 50 Solutions To “The Black Dilemma” by: Anthony Asadullah Samad
Solution 13:
It is time for black men and black women to call a truce. All black men are not triflin’ and all black women are not mean and evil. The dysfunction of the family that now has the new “black family” being 59% single female-headed households stems from the dysfunction of the black male-female relationship. The black community has lost its balance because the black family has lost its balance. We have to restore the black family unit where both men and women are present. Black relationships don’t have to be traditional to be balanced, but every household must be covered. Whether they are men-women, gay-lesbian, man-sharing, women-sharing, whatever they are, black men and women cannot raise a community distrusting/fighting each other.

Million African-American households top $100,000 income in 2006
San Francisco, California, USA. (SANEPR.com) September 3, 2007 -- More than 1 million African-American households earned more than $100,000 last year, according to the latest edition of blackmoney.com, the online daily business newspaper, which cites new 2006 data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey.Two-thirds of those affluent households are concentrated in just eight of the 50 states -- New York, Maryland, California, Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Florida and New Jersey, according to executive editor John William Templeton.
blackmoney.com's special report on black income also analyzed 2006 income data for the three states most affected by Hurricane Katrina to note no significant impact on African-American households in Louisiana, Mississippi or Alabama from the $125 billion in hurricane recovery spending, additional evidence that funds are not reaching the families which need them. In 2006, 43 percent of the black households in the three states had income below $20,000.

In this revision of their acclaimed parenting manual Black Child Care: How To Bring Up a Healthy Black Child in America ( LJ 5/15/75), noted psychiatrists Comer ( Maggie's American Dream: The Life and Times of a Black Family , LJ 11/1/88) and Poussaint explore central psychological, social, and educational aspects of child development from infancy through adolescence. Using a question-and-answer format, they address problems and situations particular to raising an African American child in a predominantly white society. Topics discussed include how to cope with racism, the pros and cons of busing, and universal child - rearing concerns. Many issues overlooked in traditional parenting manuals, such as the absent parent, gang involvement, and teenage sexuality, are treated here with admirable candor and directness. The importance of developing a child's self-esteem, sense of security, and racial and personal pride is affirmed throughout. This is a necessary addition to all parenting and parent-teacher collections.
