What are you thoughts on this article about BLACKS???

Question

For those of you who heard it, this is the article Dee Lee, CFP of Harvard Financial Educators, was reading one morning on a New York radio station. For those of you who didn’t hear it, this is very deep. This is a heavy piece and a Caucasian wrote it.

“THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES We can continue to reap profits from the Blacks without the effort of physical slavery. Look at the current methods of containment that they use on themselves: IGNORANCE, GREED, and SELFISHNESS.

Their IGNORANCE is the primary weapon of containment. A great man once said, “The best way to hide something from Black people is to put it in a book.” We now live in the Information Age. They have gained the opportunity to read any book on any subject through the efforts of their fight for freedom, yet they refuse to read. There are numerous books readily available at Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com, not to mention their own Black Bookstores that provide solid blueprints to reach economic equality (which should have been their fight all along), but few read consistently, if at all.

GREED is another powerful weapon of containment. Blacks, since the abolition of slavery, have had large amounts of money at their disposal. Last year they spent 10 billion dollars during Christmas, out of their 450 billion dollars in total yearly income (2.22%).

Any of us can use them as our target market, for any business venture we care to dream up, no matter how outlandish, they will buy into it. Being primarily a consumer people, they function totally by greed. They continually want more, with little thought for saving or investing.

They would rather buy some new sneaker than invest in starting a business. Some even neglect their children to have the latest Tommy or FUBU, And they still think that having a Mercedes, and a big house gives them “Status” or that they have achieved their Dream.

They are fools! The vast majority of their people are still in poverty because their greed holds them back from collectively making better communities.

With the help of BET, and the rest of their black media that often broadcasts destructive images into their own homes, we will continue to see huge profits like those of Tommy and Nike. (Tommy Hilfiger has even jeered them, saying he doesn’t want their money, and look at how the fools spend more with him than ever before!). They’ll continue to show off to each other while we build solid communities with the profits from our businesses that we market to them.

SELFISHNESS, ingrained in their minds through slavery, is one of the major ways we can continue to contain them. One of their own, Dubois said that there was an innate division in their culture. A “Talented Tenth” he called it. He was correct in his deduction that there are segments of their culture that has achieved some “form” of success.

However, that segment missed the fullness of his work. They didn’t read that the “Talented Tenth” was then responsible to aid The Non-Talented Ninety Percent in achieving a better life. Instead, that segment has created another class, a Buppie class that looks down on their people or aids them in a condescending manner.

They will never achieve what we have. Their selfishness does not allow them to be able to work together on any project or endeavor of substance. When they do get together, their selfishness lets their egos get in the way of their goal. Their so-called help organizations seem to only want to promote their name without making any real change in their community.

They are content to sit in conferences and conventions in our hotels, and talk about what they will do, while they award plaques to the best speakers, not to the best doers. Is there no end to their selfishness? They steadfastly refuse to see that TOGETHER EACH ACHIEVES MORE (TEAM).

They do not understand that they are no better than each other because of what they own, as a matter of fact, most of those Buppies are but one or two pay checks away from poverty. All of which is under the control of our pens in our offices and our rooms.

Yes, we will continue to contain them as long as they refuse to read, continue to buy anything they want, and keep thinking they are “helping” their communities by paying dues to organizations which do little other than hold lavish conventions in our hotels. By the way, don’t worry about any of them reading this letter, remember, ‘THEY DON’T READ!!!!”

Answer 1

I'd be cautious and hesitant in dismissing the text as fake.
There are many racist wolves in sheep's clothing who still embrace such anachronistic essentialist thoughts. But who is black and who white?
Ordinarily, the concept of race is based on the assumption of racial purity as the binary oppositions: us/them, black/white. However, black and white racial categories are not distinct and mutually exclusive. “Black” is essentially a political and culturally constructed category.
Within the American multiracial system, cases of mixed race whereby individuals have both black and white forebears, are automatically designated as cases of black race. Think about Senator Barrack Obama and read Judy Scales-Trent book (1995), Ishmael Reed's autobiography, Distant Cousins, and Albert Murray's The Omni-Americans.
At this point in time and age when we are soon making contact with beings from outer space, anyone, fake or genuine, still a traumatized prisoner of such archaic racial categories, needs to be saved from their demented state of neurosis!!
Just ignore them, and move on.

good luck

Answer 2

"To sing the 'black country wide anthem' indicates that black individuals are separatist and wish to have their possess country," Askew stated. "This signifies that the whole thing Martin Luther King Jr. believed approximately being one country will get thrown out the window." - From the creator of the guide that's mentioned to your article. Bible verses have been generally pointed out as an excuse for slavery. You fail.

Answer 3

My thoughts are that it sounds fake (probably some African American trying to make some points through an imaginary bigit), but there are legit points expressed therein.

Answer 4

sounds fake...like someone is just trying to get a rise out of people silly enough to believe it.
