Please Read If You Are An African American
IF YOU ARE BLACK YOU NEED TO READ THIS!
BLACK PEOPLE, PLEASE, READ & HEED. POIGNANT.
The sad thing about this article is that the essence of it is true. The
truth hurts. I just hope this sets more Black people in motion towards
making real progress. Chris Rock, a Black comedian, even joked that Blacks
don't read.
For those of you who did not hear it on the radio, this is the article Dee
Lee was reading this
morning on a New York radio station. 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 marke t, 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 their 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 bef ore!). 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 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 to 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 because of
what they own, as a matter of fact, most of those Buppies are but one or
two
pay checks away from poverty. All of which is under the control of our pens
in our offices and our rooms.
Yes, we will cont inue 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! After Reading it..)
Lets prove the person that wrote this article wrong. Make your dreams come true and dont just do it for the money, clothes, or BIG house. Do it for all of your ancestors who fight and died for you to have the right to become successful.
Remember that knowledge is POWER!!!
Let's break the cycle today.
