Should Black Americans Demand Gatekeepers

Should Black America Demand Gatekeepers? A discussion surrounding whether or not The Boule (Sigma Pi Phi) gatekeeps Black Americans. The late, Steve Cokely, a staunch critic of the Boule insisted that it does. During his lifetime, he gave a number of lectures on the subject. But Lady Boule doesn't believe that there are gatekeepers in the black community. And the question is should there be.

W/S is global and needs a "Buffer class", here in the U.S. and Internationally, it's the Boule... in "Economics, Education, Entertainment, Labor, Law, Politics, Religion, Sex & War".

Gate keeper are, and at one point in time counselors to those that are in control .

No one wants to talk about how self hating mixed race people's disrupt black progress just as much as racists non blacks...

No way would I want the boule representing us. And Dubois is was not a Pan Africanist.

You remind me of my Mother so much (who also was a public school teacher of 40 years), just not as socially or historically aware.
Have you read the book "Our Kind of People by Otis Lawrence Graham"? I'd love a review, Thanks.🖤🎩

I agree!! And I'm a mason(PHA). I been saying this for years. We just accept trash instead of treasure.

Lady Boule…I love you… We’re very like minded. People look at me like I’m crazy when I said I loved segregation. I, too, grew up in a white flight community that became predominantly black. I loved it. Our neighbors were wonderful…kind…beautiful people. We helped and supported each other. I think of my neighbors and how greatful I am to have grown up with them. I live in a predominantly white community, now. I interact with no one.

I, absolutely, agree with you. Many people don't maintain a postive standard. Our people were God fearing but that group has been reduced drastically.

Gate keeper direct our attention in blaming us for the problem, instead of. finding solutions

[barbaragremaud]

I hope some gatekeepers emerge and have some power to change things here in St. Louis. Things are not getting better and it's very sad.

I don't believe we have a gatekeeper in my neighborhood. I just think people need to learn how to encourage yourself. Also parents need to encourage their children to finish high school, go to college, or get a job. So that they can be a productive person in society.
The reason why black people move out of the neighborhood is for safety issues and because people don't keep up there property. The neighborhood l live in l hear guns shots sometimes.

Lol @ "brag about working at a factory or the post office." It was that bad for black people that working in those places was something to brag about.
