Warning - Chain Letter Circulation - Ignorance Part II
Personal Notes—http://www.leadershipaib.com/news3.html -- where u can see this online (one of the many places)
http://wjlbdetroit.com/reading.html -- rebuttal (sorta)
This is circulating again, came around in 2002 now it’s back. It’s meant more to inflame then enlighten and it should be taken with a grain of salt.
There is much more that we don’t do for each other. We have been known not to help, to give bad advice to sabotage or to sabotage decent, good friendships and relationships out of spite or jealousy.
We ignore each others in times of need and we turn a deaf ear, turn a cold shoulder, shut others out when we need a friend, an ear or whatever out of fear or to keep ourselves closed off from those who care about us. – (And that’s just what I’ve witnessed personally)
But I also know that it is not true, the majority while some may fit a few, why are those the ones people are judged by? And this isn't just in the african american race/culture/heritage but in many others as well.
I don't watch the news cause it is subjective, the camera has one lense and it points in one direction and shows one view, a bit like writing.
And on that token, as a writer, even before I started seriously writing, I read. Why did I start to read? because I wanted to see what intriqued my sister so much. She'd get so ingrossed in her books that she'd ignore me.
Why am I posting this? To open a discussion for one, to educate for two, and three, because ignorance in the form of intellegence really pisses me off. My question is why?

BLACKS DON'T READ THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES ===============================================================
I don't know if the article appeared in the news or was on a New York radio station or not but it is really a sad peice of work because much of it is so true. All is not true because some of us do read!!!! THIS OUGHT TO MAKE YOU MAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! READ AND WEEP! Please Note: For those of you who heard it, this is the article Dee Lee was reading This morning on a New York radio station. For those of you who didn't hear it, this is very deep and true! BLACKS DON'T READ. This is a heavy piece and a Caucasian wrote it. BLACKS DON'T READ! 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 the American 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 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. In fact, most of those Buppies are but one or two paychecks 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!!!!'
