When will we learn?

The following is for mature self-respecting black people who are tired of others getting away with unjustly mistreating us.

"there's more of us then them"
TUPAC SHAKUR

" Any police officer can shoot and kill any member of our community with impunity. They don’t mind doing it because they get a paid vacation when they do so. We have to create a security force with our own weapons, our own strategies and tactics, our own internal protection against any group of men who unfairly assaults any member of our group."

James Tubman


Comment i made from 7 Responsibilities Every Man Has To Fulfill In Life. Am I wrong about this?


Normally i don't talk about issues in the news because i don't let the media focus my attention on what they think i should be thinking about. But unfortunately this story got to me not necessarily because of the heinous nature of the crime (which we shouldn't be surprised about) but because of the typical response of our leadership (click here to read an account of the trial)


Everyday police officers unlawfully assault or murder members of our community. And almost everytime there is a major murder or assault committed against a member of our community, and the officers are prosecuted for their crimes, they are acquitted.


The local, state and federal governments have ignored or instigated the unjust treatment of our black men in the inner cities by policemen. They have turned a deaf ear to the cries, moans and harangues of the women crying in the streets after a police man has murdered their unarmed child in cold blood.


What do you do when the governement that you pledge allegiance to, that you travel to far away places to kill and labor for, that you swear to uphold and defend with your very life wants you dead? Sounds like an exaggeration right lol?


If you look at the census for a given year and look at the race of men that have been most frequently assaulted and killed by the police, you will find that the men that were killed were over 95% black. How do you explain this?


You mean white people never try to assault a cop or resist arrest? Do you watch cops lol? It happens all the time. Why don't you hear about white men being killed as frequently as black men by policemen?


How do you make a government that fails to see your humanity listen to you when you are being mistreated by them and they have basically gave a segment of the community a free pass to kill you if they want?

Please answer this question in the best way you possibly can.

Who is the celebrity, athlete, musician, actor, politician, activist, scholar you look up to the most?


We can tell a lot about ourselves based on the people we look up to. My favorite guy of all time is a man that many of you have never even heard of.

AMOS WILSON

Within the last 5 years of my life no other human being on earth has had more of a profound influence on my thinking than Dr. Amos Wilson. An afrocentric psychologists who analyzes european racism and how it still affects us today. He basically postulates that the problems that we have today in education, in our relationships, in the slums of the inner city, in the criminal justice system are due in part to racism and in part to the economic changes that are going on in the world with the rise of the asian world.






He believes that Afrikans from all over the continent are the same and should have the same goals in mind because the same plan the powers that be have for afrikan americans is the same plan they have for afrikans all over the world.






I won't go on and on about him. He has written lectures about everything under the sun from what real Afrikan manhood is, to understanding black male/female relationships in america.






He is one of the greatest Pan-Afrikanists the world ever produced and he wrote the masterpiece
BLUEPRINT FOR BLACK POWER






an 856 page description on how we can attain educational, political and economic power in the world (and after a year and a half I read every single one of those pages).

here's a sample of his work (I want the guys to look at this)

disclaimer: WARNING views are extreeeeeeemly controversial. View at your own risk of WAKING UP!



LOL
Extreemly controversial isn't it.
But anyway, let me know who your favorite is. I don't want you to be influeced by this at all lol (impossible).
Just please, do your best!

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?


Tough question because we are so used to thinking in the present. It's a question we need to ask ourselves though because what we do now will have an effect on where we are in 5 years, in 50 years and where our children are in 500 years. We often don't think about how what we do now has an impact on what happens to us later. But it is very important that we consider this sometimes. So do you want to be married with kids. Do you want to be make more and have more money to spend. Wuz up family, let a brother know!
