Here we go again!, This is absolutely fantastic. No. 1, I had no idea that the ALP did this! And to be the 14th Annual event, well, I'm so embarrassed but glad to finally be in the loop!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that with efforts such as this, the passing of the marriage equality issue, and Bed-Stuy & Harlem Pride we (black SGL's) can coalesce and be a great force for good in this town. So much bad shit is happening right now not just in NYC but in the world as a whole that it gives one a reason to pause and feel hopeless. We all, are literally observing the decline of the American empire. However, if we as SGL individuals can act like a 'mighty hand' and close those individual fingers and form a tight fist, then we can have the power, exercise it and be a power in this town the likes of which no one ever expected to happen. We could exercise so much influence & power that folks will want to sue us to be among us, thats how fabulous we can become. A power to be reckoned with. We have so much to offer the world. So this picnic, Bed Stuy Pride and Harlem Pride are good things.
Next stop, take this energy to the elected officials and make them earn our votes and be a community that they (the elected officials) must come to and recognize in order to be able to get into office.
We are living out a scene from "A Tale of Two Cities" "...the best of times and the worse of times." It certainly is an exciting time to be a Black SGL man but a dark time being a Black man in general.
OK Rod help me down off this cross! LOL!!!
LOL! I'm glad Nubian Knights Network can help and serve as an instrument to inform you, Greg.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad ALP's Chillin' and Grillin' is of interest to you. I have done it many times in past years, and it's always a great day to chill out.
Be qool as always!
