Bay State Banner threatens to close after 44 years

Hi ALL,

ST: Have the Banner expand into the Values arena.
"I have a Dream" MLK

I agree with Adam, yet not Callie. I do understand Callie's point YET that point (we will always be Black, Negro, UncleTom) is dying it's natural death. There was a time that Callie was correct yet NOT now.

The Banner could expand to cover Catholic and Family issues in a more progressive conservative light. Many blacks understand the value of having a NORMAL, non homosexual man as an integral part of a family system that includes a wife and children and a man that doesn't go to Jail.

I am against several Black thinkers that think that only in framing issues as Black issues that the Negro/Black/Human community can move forward with a voice.

Welcome All, You to Callie

Well I just watched the end of Basic Black with Travis and CorrnelW as quests and I stand firm in my opinion that Black has to GO as a deciding factor in Black news coverage. Yes you still have to cover prejudice yet you can expand and Basic Black is still a good show.

Now I know this is a challenge to think that you and your experience is not unique and that others can also come and can go from the platform of differences in appearance, language, mob/leader rule, , , Sticking with an addiction is tough to crack so breaking the "I'm Black" mentality is going to be TOUGH.

What I want is for your opinions to be people and condition centric and not race centric. Use your life history to the advantage of all humans, except the Latinos. I would like to see them grow separately since they will create another great political and spiritual voice.

BTW, I like Travis and he has some great insights.
