WHY BLACK PEOPLE LOVE BEGGING AND CHEERLEADING FOR CAUCASIAN CAUSES

An unbiased study of history and culture will inform anyone of moderate intelligence that the Black American in the United States has been treated worse than any other ethnic group worldwide.

Not only were blacks stolen from their homeland and stripped of their culture, language, religion, economics, social independence, self-determination and our own institutions of justice, they were also worked like beasts of the field and treated as such.  The social construct of slavery was supported by the scientific community of the time, while  interwoven into the fabric of American societal development. The very creation of Capitalism, as an economic apparatus, is due to the exploitation of black slave labor.

Black slave labor started the stock market, with black bucks being the stock of trade and this slave labor is the foundation of Wall Street. Black inventions were stolen and the creators uncompensated. Black music and culture was appropriated by whites and redistributed as white-faced. Burgeoning black businesses with thriving neighborhoods were burned to the ground and black people wanting home ownership were turned away due to a discriminatory practice called redlining. Black churches of worship were bombed and terrorized. Blacks were and are demonized in the news and popular culture and are faced with bias and prejudice in hiring practice and situations of upward mobility and advancement in the workplace.

Due to enslavement and the mental and physical ramifications of the culture of slavery, poverty was the inheritance of the black community .  Without items to trade, sell or barter; no culture of people can have a thriving economy. Without land to build on, no community can organize effectively and collectively to create currency. The generation of currency is the foundation of POWER  worldwide.

Make no mistake, land and the control of resources is the key to generational wealth.  For example, the family that owns your local utilities,  I.e.  electric or gas companies, will be wealthy until the sun burns out. This wealth enables the utility owners to purchase more land and resources which in turn leads to more POWER.

So why are black people so determined to go hard and stick up for the causes of other races and cultures? Even though these same races and cultures rarely or minimally support black causes? The short answer is : POWER.

We are often taught that "money is the root of all evil" and that "rich people don't enter heaven" and all sorts of religious and psychological sorcery to keep us from obtaining the knowledge of economics, financial literacy and self-determination. The goal of big corporations, which are the 1% that control all the world's resources, is to keep you a consummate consumer until you die. Work and buy, work more and buy more.

Since wealthy Caucasians , through western cultures psychological and physical warfare, conquered and dominated the world's land and resources wielding almost unlimited POWER ; those with limited POWER worldwide basically just follow the leader. It goes back to the simple saying of "If you can't beat em,  join em".

Black people across the Diaspora have adopted a follow the leader, if you can't beat em, join em mentality. We see no value in our own creativity and cultural impact. We are complacent with western culture bullying us. We have developed Stockholm syndrome.

 

Despite various examples of black cultural appropriation by popular media, despite the fact that America's biggest and primary import is music and culture worldwide, despite blacks being the biggest consumers in America, despite the numerous black inventions that propelled America forward, despite the free labor that built the very foundation of American capitalism with black backs being the first currency, despite the black nanny's that STILL raise European families, despite our music influencing culture across ethnic boundaries, despite the resources and richness of ancient and indigenous African societies like Egypt, Timbuktu, Kush and Ghana, despite African spirituality being the mother of all world religions, Despite Henrietta Lacks cells saving millions of lives daily……
…..lots of black people STILL would rather be a sidekick Robin to the white man's Batman.

Due to mis-education , misinformation and plain old ignorance and apathy ; the black man in America sees his poverty and powerlessness as a source of pride. He revels in it and even makesstruggle soundtrack's to support this prideful poverty ideology.

He chooses not to upset the normalcy of white privilege for fear of no longer receiving the crumbs off the Caucasian table. Emotionally paralyzed by fear from seeing his leadership and fellow-man assassinated, incarcerated and police brutalized without recourse, he chooses to toe the line, smile and wave, stay humble, fit in, kiss ass and keep collecting his check for survival.

The unfortunate thing about this mentality is that Blacks are some of the most creative people on planet earth. We have the power to create and own our creations and the distribution of them. The game of shucking, jiving and living in fear is no longer necessary.

With the internet, you can go direct to consumer and capitalize without any middleman. The internet age and the access it gives is our way into financial POWER and the escape from poverty. Then, once capital has been acquired, the next step is land acquisition and then the purchase of political lobbyists and super pacs.

Dr. Claude Anderson has the answers.

Hip Hop was, and to some lesser degree still is, a model for how being creative can help blacks can employ their own. Hip hop started off as a force of black pride and was a means viable means of getting wealth. Many young men have saved themselves and their families by forming a music label, putting words over a beat and monetizing it. POWER.

We should become heroes (herus) for our own ethnicity and support our own causes and upliftment as passionately as we support others. As of this writing, the case of Sandra Bland, a black activist who was hung in her cell after a minor traffic dispute with an officer is making headlines. The LGBT community, who blacks support regularly, is silent. The overall women's liberation and feminist movement, ( besides the black women) is silent. Women's rights groups are silent.

 

We are taught to pray, march and look to white Jesus for a better afterlife. Either that, or we are advised that we have to "fit in" order to be successful. Black lives only seem to really matter to black people, while we passionately support other agendas in solidarity with other ethnic, civic and social groups that do token gestures (if that) to placate us.

It's time we retake our power and become producers and consumers of our own products and creativity. It's time that we use our wealth to buy land. It's time that we create and financially support our own institutions. It's time that we stop selling our brands that we create to people who don't look like us. It's time that we strategically boycott a specific company every time a Black person gets shot and killed by law enforcement unjustly. It's time that we step up out of the Caucasian shadow and use our own creations, wealth and mindsets to gain POWER.

We must create more. We must be fearless.
We must create more. We must be fearless
We must create more. We must be fearless.
We must create more. We must be fearless.

Let us fight for us. Let's own self and our creations.  As the hip hop group Onyx said:

"These evil streets is rough
Aint no one we can trust
Either roll to rush or get rushed
Cause all we got is us!!..
