As you all know, Farrakhan coordinated the Million Man March back in 1995. Spike Lee directed an excellent movie called "Get on the bus" based on that event. Anyway, today on The National Mall, Farrakhan hosted the "Million More March" to address pertinent issues withing the black community on this the 10th anniversary of the original march. Well, I went to CNN's web site to read about it but saw their #1 news story, "PLANNED Neo-Nazi march spawns violence." WTF...They are reporting about a PLANNED march instead of covering an ACTUAL march that went on today.


What's the reasoning behind this shit.


Actually, I'm disappointed that they didn't advertise the Million More March more than they did. I didn't even know it was today and I wanted to attend.

Well..as it was in 1995, it's a gathering on the NATIONAL MALL (u know, where Martin Luther King gave his famous speech) for blacks (and everyone) to address issues within the black community...There were also performers present as well...



I just can't believe that a march that large on the NATIONAL MALL isn't "FRONT PAGE" news...I had to "search" CNN's web site for coverage. They have it under the "MORE NEWS" section.

that = ridiculous to me

^^^^Neo-Nazi March? The fuck is up wit that?

CNN is being wierd these days.... Even tho this off subject, A reporter on the Missing girl from the Skool trip in Aruba asked if it was "Another Run away bride attempt?" WTF....

But yeah, i agree that they shoulda advertised it more.

yeh its pretty fucked but there you go

we meant to be in the 21st century in an intergrated society but we still have pricks believing it to be more significant to mention neo-nazi's than a positive black march.

it's almost as if they think that society would rather know about it's downfalls than its achievements

^^^^^^^^^ YEA...CNn would rather cover blacks RIOTING than Blacks gathering Peacefully on the NATIONAL MALL...I'm sorry, but Fuck the KKK and Neo-nazis...And, I'm sorry to say, The NATIONAL MALL is more relevant than Toledo Ohio or where ever they are


classic example...and I'm sure Farrakhan will have something to say about it

there's a lot to ur question...but Im going to eat so I can't give you the full answer. I'll tell you this much though. Blacks didn't start off on equal footing in the country--i.e., slavery and then Jim Crow. So, we're still playing catch up in a sense economically and socially. There are issues unique to the black community that require dialogue and communication to solve. Therefore, meetings and gatherings address these, as well as continue our tradition of "meeting" and "gathering" as it was during slave days.

You mean, the whites were seen as superior until the 1960s.. not inferior.

But, the United States wasn't really THE powerhouse until the 19th century, when we passed up Britain with our capitalist domination. When discussing whether or not we are "ahead" of any countries, it's talking about the economy. Nobody rates racial issues and ranks countries around it.

Well on some real shit the black community is fucked up. Its ourselves too. Shit aint gon' get better from some march. People takin' pride in self destruction and its gon' take alot to block out some of these rappers fuckin us up more.

word...and what's even worse is this "crab" mentality among black people...

that's why I've started making friends with entrepreneurs and people who are doing things so maybe I can learn something

and then maybe I can pull someone else out the "barrel" not down back in it



but seriously...i dun see why The Million More March isn't Cnns top story considering they are covering the Nazi riot
