Mood:
energeticIt is time for a Revolution of the Black Mind.
No more rap and clap sessions from those who are supposed to be representing us. No mo lip service from arm chair revolutionaries who are paid and controlled by the system. It is time to assess our communities, our cities, our counties, our state and country and demand justice, truth, solutions, transparency and accountability. Then we must go to work! By that i mean we must pool our money, start collective businesses that provide for our basic needs of food, clothing, entertainment, housing, transportation and employment. We must identify people with the courage to stand up, speak truth to power and elect them to political office. But beware of the wolves in sheep suits. We must demand that our tax dollars be used equally to addess the needs of all those who pay taxes. We must get off our knees and stop begging for justice, fairness, equality and liberty. We must wage legal battles in the court sytem by suing the hell out of those who deny us and our people justice, fairness and equality. They can ignor a rally, letters, protest and phone calls, but you can't deny a Law Suit. We must create new organizations that seek to empower us and demand that those who we hire to lead them provide solutions to the problems affecting our community, city, county, state and country.
Enough of the political games from both political parties. We should all become independents and vote for leadership with the best ideas to solve our problems. We must demand that our religious leaders either fight for Black uplift and empowerment in t he areas of education, economic development, health care, recreation, social development, safe neighborhoods or be quite, sit down and teach their false non-empowering religions that keep the masses of Blacks Folks in a deep coma. We must start our own charter schools and vote for new public school board memebers who understand that we are in the 21st century and they have an elected duty to fire any teacher, administrator or superintendent who continues to fail our children. We must demand that teachers are given the resources, technology and freedom to educate our children with love and compassion. Their focus should be to produce compentent adults who can go to college, trade school and enter the world of work. They need to know how to read, proper nutrition, how to shop for healthy foods, purchase a home, car, understand contracts, how to developed a healthy relationship, the skills to love and raise children, love and respect for humanity and community, how to be engaged in their community, how to collaborate with others to develop ideas into products and services and how to get them to the market place. In addition to history, music, math, science, social studies, arts, physical fitness and technology.
Black People must embrace the Green Economy and collectively compete by creating urban farms in our backyards, selling what we grow at local farmer makets, providing services to Black Owned Churches, Nonprofits, Schools and businesses and starting renewable energy company. We must demand the ability to tax ourselves and used that money to do for ourselves. You would be amazed if you examine the budgets and salaries of church and nonprofit leaders in many Black Communities. What they spend on paper, food, supplies, lawn care, servicing vehicles and other budgeted line items. Because you are alseep or the walking dead, you have never been taught to ask the right questions or to demand answers and transparency. Try researching the tax records of nonprofits, for profits and property values of buildings in your community and see what it hidden in plain sight.
There will be people who look like you and me who benefit from the system the way it currently is and they will show to create confusion, disharmony and be fighting mad because their lies nolonger can control you, if you wake up. They will offer you bribes, stroke your ego by putting you in the paper, on TV or Radio, and even offer you a position on a board or a job to get you to go back to sleep. Where there is a WILL, there is a WAY, but where there is NO WILL, there are EXCUSES. Anytime someone truly doesn't want to do something, they will find or create an EXCUSE.
Please understand this: There a Black People benefiting from maintaining the conditions of Black Folks today and they will fight the hardest, because if your wake-up, they will lose control. They are only good to their masters, as their ability to control the minds and actions of Black People at every level. For some Black People who are sleeping comfortable, it maybe in our own interest to let them stay asleep, because they only awake to fight against any effort toward Black Uplift and Empowerment. They generally show up late to the fight, question our rational, call for calm, want to lead the negotiation, sell their people down the river and return back to their position of guard dog for their master's house.
One Black Man's Opinion! What's yours?
