BLACKS DON'T READ THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES
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 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 endeavour 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 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 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!!!!'
