THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES!

This article was published some years ago by an unknown author but it certainly tags some truths.

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 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 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 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!'
