THEY
ARE STILL OUR SLAVES
A VIEW FROM A WHITE MAN'S EYES :
We can continue to reap profits from the Blacks without the effort
of physical slavery. Look at the current methods
of containment that they use on themselves: IGNORANCE, GREED,
SELFISHNESS.
Their IGNORANCE is the primary weapon of containment. A great man
once said, "The best way to hide something from
black people is to put it in a book."
We live now in the Information
Age. They have gained the opportunity to read any book on any subject,
through the efforts of
their fight for freedom, yet they refuse to
read.
There are numerous books readily available at Borders, Barnes &
Noble and Amazon.com, not to mention their own Black
bookstores, that provide solid blueprints to reach economic equality
(which should have been their fight all along), but few read
consistently, if at all.
GREED is another powerful weapon of containment. Blacks, since the
abolition of slavery, have had large amounts of
money at their disposal.
Last year they spent 10 billion dollars during Christmas, out of
their 450 billion dollars in total yearly income. Any
of us can use them as our target market, for any business venture we
care to dream up, no matter how outlandish. They will buy into it.
Being primarily a consumer people, they function totally by greed.
They continually want more, with little thought for
saving or investing. They would rather buy some new sneaker than invest
in starting a
business. Some even neglect their children to have the
latest Tommy or FUBU.
And
they still think that having a Mercedes, and a
big house, gives them "status" or that they have achieved
the American dream.
They are fools! The vast majority of their people are still in
poverty because their greed holds them back from
collectively making better communities. With the help of BET, and the rest
of their black
media, that often broadcasts destructive images into
their own homes, we will continue to see huge profits like those of
Tommy and Nike. (Tommy Hilfiger has even jeered them, saying he doesn't want their
money. And look at
how the fools spend more with him than ever
before!) They'll continue to show off to each other while we build solid
communities with the
profits from our businesses that we market to them.
SELFISHNESS, ingrained in their minds through slavery, is one of the
major ways we can continue to contain them. One
of their own, Dubois, said that there was an innate division in their
culture. A "Talented Tenth" he called it. He was correct in his
deduction that there are segments of their culture that has achieved
some "form" of success. However, that segment missed the fullness of
his work, they didn't read that the Talented Tenth was then responsible to
aid the Non-Talented Ninety Percent in achieving a better life.
Instead, that segment has created another class, a buppie class that
looks down on their
people
or aids them in a condescending manner.
They will never achieve what we have. Their selfishness does not
allow them to be able work together on any project or endeavor of
substance. When they do get together, their selfishness
lets their egos get in
the way of the goal. Their so-called help organizations
seem to only want to promote their name without making any real
change in their
community. They are content to sit in conferences and
conventions, in our
hotels, and talk about what they will do, and award
plaques to the best speakers, not the best doers. Is their no end
to their selfishness?
They
steadfastly refuse to see that TOGETHER EACH
ACHIEVES MORE!
They do not understand that they are no better than each other
because of what they own. In fact, most of those buppies
are but one or two paychecks away from poverty. All of which is
under the control of our pens in our offices and our boardrooms.
Yes, we will continue to contain them as long as they refuse to
read, continue to buy anything they want, and keep
thinking they are "helping" their communities by paying dues to
organizations which do little other than hold lavish conventions in our hotels. By the way, don't
worry about
any of them reading this letter, remember, THEY
DON'T READ!!
(Prove them
wrong. Please pass this on!)
