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.
Help prove them wrong! Read and pass on.
Please Note:
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. 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 menti! on 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 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 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 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 continue to contain them as long as they refuse to re ad, 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!!!!
