BLACK PEOPLE, PLEASE, READ & HEED - THIS VERY POIGNANT ARTICLE!
I received this brutally honest article this morning, from a beautifully minded sister, while I was contemplating what words would be effective in penetrating the barriers of indoctrination that have been cleverly instituted into our thinking, as is my custom to do so every Saturday as a final notice just before our weekly Webinar concerning the ‘Economic Development of the African American Economy’. After reading this article, I readily came to the conclusion that the Caucasian who wrote this article had really said all that there is to say.
BLACK PEOPLE, PLEASE, READ & HEED - THIS VERY POIGNANT ARTICLE!
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 < http://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 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!!!!
YOU ARE NOW ONLY FOUR CLICKS AWAY FROM PROVING THEM WRONG [AT LEAST TODAY] BY JOINING WITH US IN A REALISTIC SOLUTION, THAT HAS BEEN TEN YEARS IN THE MAKING, FOR ADDRESSING THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM TOWARD ACHIEVING PROGRESS WITHIN OUR COLLECTIVE COMMUNITIES.
