THOUGHTS ABOUT WHY NO END TO BLACK STRUGGLE

THOUGHTS ABOUT WHY NO END TO BLACK STRUGGLE – no change until we change If you’re black and reading this please don’t anticipate some illuminating thought that will answer the Why question or give an ultimate answer as to How we must change. If you’re white and reading this please don’t look to what other black people have said for a comparison to what I will say about the Why and the How. It’s not that what I will say is any more important than what has been said; but the way I say it is created out of my experiences and, in that respect, it is unique. As always, I do not seek agreement with the thoughts I share – I frankly don’t give damn if you agree or not. After I give something, whether material or words, it no longer belong to me; when I give it is without expecting anything in return. We, black people, have been and still are the most beautiful, the most resilient human beings ever to come into existence. Our total being was designed and has adapted to meet all challenges in our immediate environment and will take us beyond. Nothing in all of existence has been able to stop our development, our evolution: and nothing or no one ever will. The rich and powerful white men that control this country’s political, economic systems also control our educational and research systems. Those systems have been use to fashion a negative universal image of black people and have created the environment in which that image takes on a life of its own; just as the world believes the false images of black people, we, black people also believe those images. When a lie is set in a fertile environment, beliefs can and do lead to reality. This may fall hard on tender ears, but we are behaving as we have been conditioned to behave. We are participating in a game designed by a white oppressor group (WOG). The aim of the WOG is to fragment our thinking, to splinter our beliefs, to reduce our collective resources so that we will never come to a consensus about what is most important for black survival and progress. The following may also be difficult for tender ears to hear; religion is a major tool of oppression used by the WOG; law is another, political affiliation another, gender bias another, class bias, skin color, and the list goes on. We must think outside the WOG’S game to develop our own game for survival and progress. We must find consensus among ourselves in order to build a new image of black people – first for ourselves and then for the world. Black people devoted to a particular religious group, or even a collective of such groups, cannot create a consensus for all black people; however, their faith can be a tool in developing one, as can the law, political affiliation, education, but no one or all together will bring us to the realization that we are a unique, a beautiful, a resilient people who have proven skills at meeting and overcoming the formidable challenges we have faced during the whole of our existence – and no WOG’S childish games will keep us slaves at the bottom of humanity.
