I was wondering the other day does, anyone think it would be a good idea of all the commuinty station DJ/HOSTS i.e. Galaxy FM , Genesis, Powerjam, Juice fm, Bassline fm, Flames fm etc met up with with....
1. hosts from other statuions, in particular Angie le mar, Henry Bonsu, Dotun Adebayio, Miss P, Amina Taylor, Angie Greaves, Jenny Francis
2. Other Black Institutuions like Blacknet, Black Professionals, Black in Britain, Black Information Link, Society of Black Lawyers etc
3. well known black figures in the community like Ben Zappenhiah, Kwame Kwei Armah, Blacker Dredd, Joyce Ohahjah
to try and formulate solutions to deal with the variopus problems facing blacks in this country. I know that some of them may have beefs for whatever reason reason but the time has come for us to put them to aside because what is happening to blacks espacially the yopuths is bigger than all of the petty squabbles that have been taking place amongst people i.e Dr X vs Every other radio station

This is the most progressive post I have seen on this forum. Imagine all these forces working as one entity. Like the muslims have their uk organisation we should form the Unified African Council of the UK. (UACUK).
And even if thoses organisations dont want to band together we should get together in this forum to work out a way how we can make this happen.
I propose we come up with a 10 point plan of action in this thread to trash out a way of bringing all those who are intersted in this Idea together. We could all meet on a monthly basis to formulate a Strategy to band these organisations together.
What do you all think, also suggestions on the ten point plan would be a start.
UNITY IS THE FOUNDATION OF SURVIVAL

I am glad that I am not the only person who feels this way. I actually made this suggestion a number of times on various shows....
1. During JUICY ISSUES hosted by Macca C and Destiny Thursdays 8pm -10pm Juice FM 102.5FM. they preety much felt the same way, and even suggested people should exchange numbers. HOWEVER THEY DID REITERATE THAT DUE TO VARIOUS EGOS AMONGST VARIOUS HOSTS IT WOULD BE VERY HARD TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, AS SOME PEOPLE DO NOT GET ALONG. but they generally support the idea.
2. I texted in my suggestion about two weeks ago during Bongo Tetteh, and Brother Omowale 12pm -3pm DE BRAIN WASHING SHOW, but got no reply.
3. I texted in the same suggestion to Brother Kwakus show on Powerjam about a month ago. He read it out, and asked me to ring in to explain further, HOWEVER STUPIDLY I HAD NO CREDIT, THEREFORE i was not able to reply. Also for a few weeks I have not been able to transmit his show on my radio.
4. I even texted the same suggestion to Amina Taylor in July during her sunday evening show on BBC Radio 94.9 on Sunday evenings. I GOT NO REPLY. I might try her again by emailing her instead.
AS FOR THE 10 POINT PLAN. IM STILL THINGING ABOUT THAT. THE ONLY IDEA I HAVE SO FAR WOULD BE JUST TO RING UP/EMAIL ETC, THESE RADIO HOSTS, AND EXPLAIN TO THEM WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE HAPPEN. DOES ANYONE NEED ANY PHONE NUMBERS OF ANY STATIONS IF NOT I MAY POST SOME ON THE SIGHT. I HAVE A HELL OF A LOT.

Is there any particular reason for "texting" radio talk shows?

| I am, not too sure what you mean MGL. I text talk show usually because I do not have enough credit for a call on my phone, or when the phoene lines are too busy

I think the first thing we do is find the personal email address of all the dj we belive to be concerned about our community.
10 Point Action plan
Point 1
I propose we ask as many people on the board to send an email or text with your suggestion of a dj forum where they gather and agree on an agenda or a message. Even if they were to meet online it would be a start.
What do you think its a start, add to the plan if you think you have a way forward.
ps
I still think this is a good Idea these brothers and sisters reach so many people.

If you want to participate in radio phone-ins, it may be sensible to get access to a telephone that can be used for speech.

... before getting together "in unity" with Dotun Adebayo and Amina Taylor, perhaps you would like to read this
http://www.blackchat.co.uk/theblackforum/forum32/13666.html
... and before you "unify" with Angie Le Mar, I suggest that you read this ...
or this

To an extent MGL I can see your point. I myself did not even know abouit the shooting of Azel Johnson. I am suprised that Angie Le Mar did not say anything about it, but am not suprised that Amina and Dotun didn't.
WHAT WOULD YOU SYA WOULD BE A MORE FITTING SOLUTION . DO YOU THINK I SHOUD FOCUS JUST ON THE COMMUNITY RADIO HOSTS

Mr Rodney was surrounded by up to 25 police officers and shot dead nearly 4 months ago. This happened in London. Mr Rodney was a member of the community at whom Ms Le Mar's broadcasts are aimed. Ms Le Mar hosts a talk show where she claims to seek "your opinions".
Ms Le Mar has not said a single word about this serious incident after 4 months.
How would anyone listening to Ms Le Mar know anything about anything as a result of listening to her?
(A link to a related discussion on The EPN messageboard has been deleted by the moderators, or else you could read about the activities of some of the other people mentioned).
I suggest that you spend your time trying to find people who want to work for the betterment of the African community, rather than the betterment of their bank balances.
Alternatively, phone them up and ask them to explain themselves. Let us know how you get on.

"I was wondering the other day does, anyone think it would be a good idea of all the commuinty station DJ/HOSTS i.e. Galaxy FM , Genesis, Powerjam, Juice fm, Bassline fm, Flames fm etc met up with with.... "
This question was posed years ago, without a satisfactory answer. For too long we have been searching for answers to the problems in our community.
I for one value our community radio stations. I also value the contributions/time and didication these presenters/DJ take to bring us our own sound/views on a daily basis, without gaining a regular income from them. (excluding advertisement revenue).
It goes without saying that if our stations come together they would be formidible, groundbreaking force and more importantly extremely powerful. How many of them see this though?
Here I beleive will come the answers to many of our questions and this is where we will be able to clearly see the different mindset in action.
However, before all of these egos can come together, we and them need to address our own business. Clear the clutter from our minds. Know exactly what it is that we want from the above. Heal the wounds within our immediate and extended families, (if there are any) and extend our knowledge about self.
Forget wants. Lets deal with need first. What is it black people, what do you really need.

Just out of interest MGL i noticed in another forum, you kept on posting a picture which to my disbelief looked like Dr X sitting with Lee Jasper, and two other white guys at some sort of conference, could you elaborate on what took place at that meeting. Also I will try and pose some questions to some of these radio hosts. However I might have to leave out the BBC HOSTS (or email them instead). On one occassion I rang up Amina during her show, and some bbc radio moderator picked it up. Before I got to even speak to her they asked me what was the purpose of my call, and when I told them they took my phone number, then rang me back, then allowed me to speak to her. What disappointed me the most is that when I made my point to her I got no real feedback, she did not make any retaliation to my comment, she just thanked me for contributing then the show went to an advertisement break.
Maybe if I email them instead without the interference of the BBC moderators they will reply

I suggest that you ask them precisely what they were doing and how the African community has benefitted ...
Counter-insurgents Reunited?
... "Black Community leaders" protest ...?

I done some quick reserach on the interent and found out that the picture is taken from a Metropolitan Police Authority meeting that was open to the pubic on the 28th Febuaray 2003.Hosts consisted of the Metropolitan Police Service, Home Office, and KEY COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES. The issue of debate was gun crime, and members of the general public where allowed to share their experiences with these figure heads.
More details about what happened are at the Metropolitan Website http://www.icsouthlondonheadlines/page.cfm?objectid=12711022&method=full&site

Whats going on moderators. Why was the number I gave for Genesis fm deleted?
Anyways.I put my question to the following people and this is what they had to say
DJ Kool Breeze of Flames 94.4fm
He siad it was a good idea but siad it it would be very hard to organise.
Doctah X
He basically said its very impractical. He said its stupid for a person to believe that we can all unite on the onus of colour. He also said that their are too many different personalities, and egos for this to ever happen. He also reiterated that somthing like this would need years of planning.
ILL SOON POST UP A THREAD WITH ALL THE CONTACT NUMBERS,EMAILS ETC

Judge J..I removed the details for Genesis...sorry but after certain incident and Dr x views about Blacknet and its users..i have absolutely no compunction in not promoting or colluding with anything connected to that station here...
I will say that your initative does have some merit and it would be good if an effective alliance were formed, to attack some of the most prominent issues facing our community today in coordinated way..
However I will give dr X, his due he is totally correct when he say it will never happen because of 'egos' on that he has hit the nail on the head...and he also identifies why in my view we have been so so ineffective to date...
However that said ...I still wish you luck on your endevours because maybe you might be the catylst for change that is needed..

I am totally against blacknet uniting with other radio stations that dont have the same outview like Blacknet
Before we move on with this grand project about uniting with other radio stations first I thik there is aneed to review the the intention and objectives of blacknet because with all the banner ads I see here looks like its making some profits and blacknet need to restructure itself in a way it can make profit as well as be a platform for a future media power house
so hard choices should made such as tonning down some of opinions here so advertisere would advertise more .......I hate this but i feel blacknet will eventually sell its self out to some CAPITALISTS through a back door merger ...just like BET and of course those are the harsh realities of FREE MARKET ECONOMY
we have to understand that this business is EGO driven so dont expect much
what makes you we can do something while we couldnt even agree on writing a letter to BIWATER at times when it was clearly on gun ho on privatizing water services in Ghana?unless I am missing something but we didnt do much either when Hurricane hit Jamaica ...
Maybe its time for us all to re evaluate our priorities right and come up with something that would separate us from other web sites
so lets be more careful when we want unity with organisations and individuals that want nothing but sell their souls

i know it won't be easy
but i'm sure we are all willin to put the effort into something as worthwile as this.
you know sometimes i think that all this chat here is so futile, that this whole online community is little more that a gossip forum... this is our chance to show that something really tangible can manifest from this ere place.

I made contact with Mike T yesterday who is one of the "Three Wise Men"( along with DJ Yardi, and DJ Smash) who does a general talkshow on Bassline 97.9fm every Wednesday from 11.30pm to 3am. I asked him the same question. He said back in the day he use to attend those kind of meetings, he liked the idea, but after a while he saw it as pointless because of the following reasons
1. TOO MANY EGOS-He would not name any names of the DJ's/Hosts, but said that it got to a point where people where trying to out do each other.
2. Lack of Dedication-He went on to say that too many of these DJ/HOSTS (WHO HE WOULD NOT NAME)were all talk about helping the community,but when push came to shov they would fall back. He also said they failed to reach out to people who really needed the help, that they kept on preaching to people who were need.
Ill now try to contact Amina Taylor, Angie Lemar, Dotun, Galaxy fm and see what they say. I know I have been saying for a while that I will contact them but time has not been on my side because of University.ALSO THE PHONE NUMBERS, AND EMAIL ADDRESSES ARE COMING SOON TRUST ME.
