Bloodless Political Revolution

What these local and national leaders failed to do was embrace the culture of youn African-Americans as 2004 saw the largest increase in voters. Instead of pumping more money into grassroots organizations that got out that vote they retreated. No longer will the grassroots be pawns in the political game, Operation From The Bottom has a machine in place which sole mission is to represent and fight for the poor. Young African-Americans shouldn't just register to vote, they should run for office. We need to turn more to the leaders that we have at the grassroots level. There and only there will we see the collective strength of our people as a whole. On the grassroots level when we unite behind a common cause it proves we're unstoppable. The only disappointing thing is the efforts are not sustaining because once our objective is complete we break apart retreating to our boxed in lives. I say this because we need eachother on the grassroots all the time day in and day out. The generation gap has caused our elder African-Americans to be blindsided by the creativeness in hip hop music and culture. They failed to see that it was birthed from an awkward time in our culture development and social freedom of expression. Hip hop has become an international culture complete with all the aspects of a society but many African-Americans are brainwashed to automactically reject it. As with all things there's some good and some bad. We got to take them both use it to uplift our people.
