* I have not had the time to digest or read this article sent my way. I know plenty of folk here will have an opinion on this, look forward to joining You. Have to run, take care*
The article starts here:
BLACKS DON'T READ.
For those of you who heard it, this is the article Dee Lee was reading
this morning on a New York radio station. For those of you who didn't
hear it, this is very deep and true! BLACKS DON'T READ. This is a heavy
piece and a Caucasian wrote it.
THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES 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,
and 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 now live 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 (2.22%). 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 is work. They didn't read
that the "Talented Tenth" was then responsible to aid the Non-Talented
Ninety Percent in achieving a better life, Inste! ad, 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 to work together
on any project or endeavor of substance. When they do get together,
their selfishness lets their egos get in the way of their 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, while they award plaques to the best speakers, not the
best doers. Is there no end to their selfishness? They steadfastly
refuse to see that TOGETHER EACH ACHIEVES MORE (TEAM)! They do not
understand that they are no better than each other 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 rooms. 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!!!! BLACKS DON'T READ"
