The Plight of the Black and the World Community

We humans in exception to the ones that live under a rock should be cognizant of the wars going on across the world. It is evident to see that there is depression, oppression, suppression, genocide, violence and recession(s) concurrently happening in the world's panorama. The United States is wrongfully and deplorably using its tenaciously earned tax dollars to destroy infrastructures and infiltrate the governments of nations for its insatiable desire(s) to obtain the natural resources and land of other countries.

The motive is to globalize, democratize, Americanize, capitalize and conglomerize the world so that this world could become plutocratic meaning that a microcosm or a small population of people could control the majority of the world's income, distribution, production, exchange(s), "education", goods and services while the majority of the world could remain physically and intellectually impoverished. Meaning that all of the actions of the majority of the mainstream or first world governments and super powers is to use the means of financial imperialism to maximize their profits, and control the minds of others by inadequate educational systems, limit the availability of room on the top floor of prosperity, and intricately and efficaciously dividing third world people against one another to conquer their limited means of power like land, money and trade.

Statistics shows that 1% of the nation's population controls 66-67% of the nation's wealth, 60% of the world's population receives 6% of the world's wealth and the remaining 40% of the people has accessibility to the remaining 94% of the world's wealth. Meaning that the rest of the world that is impoverished and financially stabilized and controlled are competing with one another economically through coercion, entrepreneurship, money racketeering, gang violence, the distribution of opium and other drugs, robberies, corruption, oppression, tribal and cultural warfare, etc. In the competition against the majority of the world who are impoverished and for the most part thoroughly miseducated and naive, the end result(s) are imprisonment, murders, the ramification of diseases, gang violence, destruction and negative stability of society in which the rich becomes richer and the poorer becomes poorer.


America is at war with other countries because of the coherent and vitalized nationalism occurring in the Middle Eastern countries. Also while the Somalian pirates who are the victims of modern-day materialism and financial imperialism are unfortunately robbing the Americans and Europeans for their ships for the means of survival, power and personal gain(s), while we celebrate, recognize and acclimate the United States' first African American President, President Barack Obama, Black America is still in trouble or should I say deep manure. We annually make $800 billion and only retain less then 5% of our earnings, 70-80% of the homes in Black America do not have a father or father figure present, African Americans/ Afro Latinos make up 85-90% of the United States prison system and every time we see the news, we learn about another incident of black on black crime. African Americans are inflicted with sexually transmitted diseases, rapes, gang violence, suicides, drug and alcohol abuse, police brutality, cancer, poor education, limited health care, poor housing, early pregnancy, crisis in the family, religion, etc.

One could make the argument or postulation that either African Americans are innately unprivileged and miseducated or that we should forget about oppression, racism and slavery because it is a thing of the past. I honestly say that both of these false assumptions are indeed contentious, inaccurate and have no place in being the practical solution or conclusion(s) about our community. History is the clock that tells our political and social time in antiquity and history is like a parent to a child to a cultural group of people and in saying all of this, history is best qualified to prove the merits, accomplishments, achievements, capabilities and potentialities of the Black man and woman. If we were the masters of our community, were the brainchildren of architecture, literature, law, science, agriculture, social structure, religion, astronomy, astrology, art, mining, and civilization in general, then we could repeat history except for not making the same mistakes we made in our antiquity. Our merits in history basically eradicates the notion of Black people being innately incompetent and incapable of success and we can’t forget about oppression and the African holocaust (which was the worst holocaust to ever be imposed and inflicted upon man) because the after affects and repercussions of the oppression is still in continuity and is still reverberating within the pan-African community. The worst way to enslave a man is through mental enslavement because once you control a man's thinking, you control their actions, if you control the history of a people, then you control their destiny and if you control their land then you control their means of living. In closing we as a people are controlled and have been taught to disregard our history, our name, culture, unity, accessibility to education, land and everything associated to our history.

The solution for our people to survive in Black America and for everyone of African descent to collectively survive is written on the walls in Egypt from our ancestors who mastered the arts and the sciences. The answer is "Know Thyself." We as a people have a lack of self identity to the point that we don't even recognize ourselves in the mirror. When you look in the mirror and you recognize someone with a European name, a gangster, a pimp, a thug, a hoe, a bitch, a clown, a mobster or any other negative or connotation given to us by the West, then you are thoroughly miseducated. Once we gain a self-identity through re-education, then we would be obligated to unify socially, economically, politically, spiritually, intellectually, physically and in all means possible. Once we as a people unify because of the precious African blood flowing within our bodies and because of our precious history then we would live a life in unity and harmony to the highest capability of human decency. Us African(s) across the world not only should have a knowledge of self but a knowledge of what is dividing us as a people and a knowledge of what led to our downfall. The reason why is if we don't learn from our mistakes, then we are liable to repeat them and suffer more catastrophic repercussions. What caused our downfall was that Africa did not have a centralized and unified continental government, various religions and ideologies coming from different nations in Asia and Europe further divided us, financial imperialism and trade for natural resources and our fellow Africans led to our downfall and most importantly, our lack of Continental unity led to our complacency.

What we all should do today is become self reliant, educate ourselves, look out for ourselves first and form nations within nations so in time, diligence, effort, blood, sweat and tears, Africa could be redeemed and African people all over the world could be freed from neo-colonialism and the negative effects of capitalism and contemporary materialism. We need to start businesses for the purpose of maximizing profits but meeting the needs that are affecting our communities. We need to start African-centered learning institutions so that we could mentally repatriate to the culture of our African mothers and fathers, we need our own political party which would genuinely look out for the political needs of our community and we spiritually and religiously need to unite do to the fact that we all believe in one God and because all of the predominant and popular western religions had their inevitable influence from Ancient Egypt (which was an African civilization). African people of the world need to unify so that we could control our own means of wealth and education if the world community were to be a better place for us as a people. In closing, before we were to consulate any warfare between our brothers and sisters we need to appease the warfare within our minds. We cannot change the world until we change ourselves and once we appease the warfare within our minds, from our natural, innate and creative geniuses, the world will be ours.
