Thanks to "Gateway Pundit" I learned today of the new African-American social network, "Move-On-Up.org" and their first annual conference in St. Louis, Mo. held August 12-14, 2011. From the MOU website:
We will connect the 10% of Black Americans who are voting conservatives, and together we will increase our numbers to affect positive, life affirming outcomes in the Black Community and our nation at large.
After a half a century of liberal control of Black communities and inner cities, we have rampant poverty; abysmal employment rates, poor educational outcomes and a negative birthrate. Many are looking to the Federal Government to accept blame for these problems and fix them. Move On Up says that we must look to ourselves. The break down of the Black family is the root of all of our societal ills, and if we repair and elevate the Black Family, every other issue becomes manageable, and will eventually be cured. . . .
Me: I love the name "Move-On-Up"! I wish the movement great success.
