If all of Black people's problems were solved right now I believe
certain among us wouldn't know how to handle it because it would expose
many as only being interested in "Black Pain" and not "Black Peace" or
solutions. If they don't have a conflict or "leader" then they become without purpose and irrelevant. All the inflammatory memes, videos, and posts they put online
would be meaningless. They will still try to be relevant by talking
about conspiracies and religious arguments with no end in sight to try
convincing folks to believe their minutia in order to control and
dominate them in a new type of "Black on Black" spiritual & mental
slavery. I believe these same folks would still be talking about what is
the "white man's religion" or who God's chosen people are. None of this
stuff has solved any of our issues but it has been highly successful
providing distraction from them and keeping us divided. We find more
reasons to fight each other than fight for one another which makes us
incapable of long term unity. Everybody isn't going to get on board with
any plan, and so to help the whole I'm going to stick with my "Focused Few" agenda which I liken to "Gideon's 300" to benefit the whole.
In
the Bible, out of what started as 32,000 men Gideon ended up with less
than 1% which was only 300 men to fight for Israel against their
oppressors. I would rather work with 1% instead of waste time fighting
the 99% who irrationally fight against those who truly love them and are
trying their best to look out for them. I'm not afraid of anyone or
white people at all and don't care about offending people even if they
are family members when I speak on Black issues, nor am I purposely
trying to offend anyone. I don't care what folks think when my people
are suffering so, but it is not white people giving me or others the
most trouble. It is my own Black People. We got a bunch of angry loud
Negroes fussing about the "symptoms" of our problems or causing them,
and undermining our collective agenda by fighting against those trying
to solve the roots of problems they don't understand. That's true
"agent" behavior by sabotaging your own out of insecurity, jealousy,
pettiness, selfishness, stubbornness, and just being a hater. Who does
that benefit? It doesn't benefit us, and their ignorance is used against
them.
They increase division without discernment or a real plan for rebuilding the Black
Community, and only try to deconstruct what we're trying to
build while parroting what someone else said who they like, but not
understanding or being sincere on how to implement it. They divide like
groupies & gang bangers who cling to charismatic personalities that
use our struggle for their own fame & gain as their true agenda. We
finally got our first Black President who used us to get into office and then abandoned us to put others ahead of us, but many don't care as long as he speaks & sings good or does other gimmicks to make us smile like these phony Black leaders. We further divide over
religion which makes uniting a fairy tale. Our people fought Malcolm
& Martin, and pulled the triggers on Malcolm while another one of us
stabbed Martin who in the end lost most of his Black supporters before
he was assassinated by white people. Like Israel killed the prophets and
didn't honor them until after their deaths but listened to the false
prophets more during their life so it is in the Black Community in many
of the same ways with its messengers.
I
was angry with Black folks for a long time because I blamed them for
killing my father. I saw how he literally worked himself to death for an
ungrateful obstinate people who were content on being nothing more than
proud "niggas" who won't hesitate to call themselves along with every Black person a "nigga" and you a "coon, agent, negropean" or
some other name, and who destroy everything anybody tries to build for
them while falsely accusing those who work for them as the enemy or a
sellout. We are paranoid and superstitious into schizophrenia but think
we're sane as a product of the "divide & conquer" strategy of white
supremacy. History vouches that White European & Asian groups have been
vicious against Black people without question. Every where in the world
where people were taken captive they had rights even as slaves and were
not to be enslaved for life. Their nations would fight for their freedom
if able. The only place this never happened was in Africa during the
Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. No Africans ever came to rescue us or make a
real effort to get us back.
True
history also tells an ugly truth I consider the most heartbreaking
about Black slavery most don't know or want to admit in that before
Europeans stole people from Africa by force the Arabs and other Africans
sold Black people in smaller numbers. Once Europeans saw how
Africans didn't care about their own people it became their
justification for enslaving us because they knew no African country
would ever come demanding us back or declare war to free us from enslavement.
With the exception of Haiti, every slave revolt was put down because a
Black person snitched to their oppressive White masters for a reward and
their approval. This character flaw is why I believe Black people were the primary
group enslaved among all peoples of the world, and the infamous white slaver of Jamaica known as "Willie Lynch" saw this and taught it to other slave owners. Even today we are the
most divided and most likely to betray one another, put each other
down, fight among ourselves, destroy our own communities, or prefer other groups over our own as seen in most inner city Black neighborhoods.
The
first mistake was made by ignorant Black Africans who didn't value
their own people enough to protect them or recognize their true value.
The white man saw this in us and took advantage of this weakness to
misuse and abuse countless millions of us for his gain for nearly 600
years in total while the Arab has done so for nearly 1300 years. With
all the folks we had on the African continent along with the wealth of
resources we could have driven away any foreign invaders, but instead we
wanted to show our power, prestige, and wealth to folks who wanted to
take it all from us by ignorantly turning on our own. The similarities
in mentalities are not much different from then until now. Many glorify
Africa as our "Motherland" but we are not only her stolen children but
also her aborted children practicing self genocide while
dwelling in division over the same things we're fighting for in
America. We have very serious psychological & sociological issues we need to admit and face so we can truly move forward.
We talk of "Black Power"
but have never in history been able to harness that power to unite and
accomplish anything that isn't being undone. How can you call yourself
my brother or sister when the main target of your vitriol, slander,
violence, and false accusations is me and not those of another group who
brutalize and discriminate against us on a regular basis? You're
selling me and yourself out by doing so. We're all we got so why come
for me or someone else like me? So you watched a few videos or
documentaries and read some books and think you're "conscious" or a
Black Revolutionary now? If you're still talking about "the streets"
then you are still thinking like a slave looking for the glamor &
glitz of a big personality who makes headlines to lead you rather than
teach you to develop your own leadership skills to lead your family or
local community at the grassroots level where the real work is done.
You
can't be stuck talking nonsense about the "streets" wanting to be
"street soldiers" like you're in a gang, or lost in the nostalgia of the
1960s & 70s in a new millennium. How can you boast of being a
gangster or thug while trying to be a Black Revolutionary? It will never
work. Thugs & gangsters are slaves who destroy everything they
touch as "agents" of the establishment themselves, and can never help
build a community. There are also many radical "pro-blacks" who don't
really study the issues for solutions but only to stir emotions by
talking about the problems with meaningless redundant rhetoric and
taking no action unless it is sterile symbolic actions that accomplish
nothing beyond promoting more division and themselves. Those trying hardest to be revolutionary are the most unaware and
gullible who run on emotion without rationale which makes them the
biggest traitors to the Black cause without realizing it.
At some point we have to change our thinking and lay aside
our pride to stop exchanging one set of "slave" chains for another that
keeps us in perpetual ignorance. Shalom. ~ I.J. West

and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other
people go every man unto his place."
