What happened to the Network? Please take me off the list

Hello, 
I just wanted to say helping to organize the Anti-racism summit was an 
experience. However as far as building the network, I am either out of 
the loop or it's not happening. Well what ever is going on I am sure 
you all will figure it out, I just got a new job that is demanding of 
my time and the people her in Western Mass has definately taught me a 
few things

1: Organizations are about draining resources, not making them 
available to the community
2: If you speak out the white liberals wont work with you,and Black 
capitalists will be the quiet poster negro for these white liberals, 
and or those who need to feel good by helping others, who really 
actually are only place to suck power from our communities. Well I say 
so what, I am still going to continue the work I do until I find that 
place that is actually here for Black poets like myself. I guess i was 
hoping things would be different this time with the "Anti-Racism" 
summit. That there would actually be a network built.
3: Althought I was at so many meetings, I feel so disempowered, because 
I feel it's mainly white people behind the curtains of the Anti-racsim 
network.
4: Never to take anything serious if it's about helping Black people.

Well I hope what ever network that does get built, someone earns from 
it. Much love and be well.
