Dear BLACK PEOPLE, in the year of 2016...

Dear BLACK PEOPLE, in the year of 2016 please stop doing commercials or other publicity that makes you looks like happy slaves cooning and buck dancing for chicken, income tax refunds, hair care products, and anything from fast food restaurants that is bad for your health. Let's stop the violence, murder, abuse, parental neglect, male chauvinist misogyny of our women, ultra-feminist disrespect of our men, and crime against one another. Stop the incessant debates over religion that further divide us to try proving which is more "pro-black". You can research and decide for yourselves what you want to believe in without insulting everyone else because their freewill choice doesn't agree with yours. Religion, philosophy, and science aren't the problem but people are the problem regardless of their color or ethnicity. The Black Community too often deifies white supremacy, and sounds as if it suffers from an inferiority complex that is massaged by pro-black revolutionary tirades which are ultimately nothing more than venting.

UNITY IS THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY. Without it nothing else will work.

We as a people face the common challenges we do because we're Black, and not because we're religious or spiritual. "Masta" wasn't or is some almighty figure that makes you decide what to believe in, and neither were slave masters able to permanently or effectively force our ancestors to believe in anything the way they wanted them too. That is a lie meant to make our enslaved ancestors look weak and foolish which is a disrespect to their memory. They weren't stupid, and their ability to rebel to help free us to the degree we are today is proof of that. We've been telling the same lies to distance ourselves from what some falsely believe is the "white man's religion" to turn to other religions or philosophies that also enslaved us even among ourselves and didn't stop us from being enslaved by others. The doctrine of "white supremacy" exists as a fact and currently rules the world, but though all white people may benefit from it directly and indirectly it doesn't make them all powerful or that philosophy unable to be overcome.

UNITY IS THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY. Without it nothing else will work.

No religion or scientific philosophy is the "white man's" or any group's exclusively unless it is an explicitly stated racially prejudice doctrine such as those we actually have among ourselves which are similar to the twisted theology of the white supremacist in the Klu Klux Klan (KKK). How can you be better or rise above your oppressor if you teach the same as them from a pro-black perspective? Religion, philosophy, and science can be used for good or bad depending on who's using it and what their motives are. Black people aren't "divine" or superior, and all non-black people aren't devilish, inferior, or are anti-Black racist. Your religious choices are not why we're oppressed the world over, and all of your bantering against the choices of others hasn't improved our situation in any way. I'm not changing my faith over no foolishness. My faith is a personal matter that I share as I see fit, and is really none of your business nor does it effect you negatively. Stop majoring in the minors and being distracted from the bigger picture.  

UNITY IS THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY. Without it nothing else will work.

When the differences you fight over become arguments introduced to you and used by those who are against you then you are a fool for playing into their hands and thinking you are being "revolutionary" or will ever progress. The differences we waste time arguing about don't stop those who oppress us from working together to oppress you. Behind close doors they laugh at us with our kente cloths, ankhs, kufis, crescent moons, stars of David, Crosses, fezzes, dashikis, metaphysical philosophy, atheistic science, and pro-black Pan-African RBG rhetoric and chat rooms because they know we'll never unify and see the big picture because you are too small minded and emotionally blinded. You can have as much "Black Pride" as you want but without "Black Unity" it won't advance the community as a whole. Until we realize this we aren't going to accomplish anything more in 2016 than we have in all the years before going all the way back to our Trans-Saharan & Trans-Atlantic enslavement, exploitation, and colonization.

UNITY IS THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY. Without it nothing else will work, and we'll be talking loud but saying nothing perpetually.  ~ Brother Isaiah J. West
