‎''black'' People Don't Read! – So Sad ( I Feel Like Crying For My Race, Is This Who We Are???) by Werehkpe: 2:01am On Mar 13, 2012
The information below is an observation read on the radio by DJ Dee Lee, an African-American radio personality and appears to be written by a Caucasian.

''Be warned that this is a very broad generalization, and that this is not my personal opinion''. Take a read and tell me what you think. Is it true? Do we avoid reading? Beyond that, is this who we are?

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 tog ether, 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!!!!

It’s sad, but for the most part true. It seems to be a ‘black’ thing true, most of the western blacks (who have little or nothing to do with Africa); have those traits of Selfishness and Greed ingrained within.

I however disagree with his comments about the talented tenth – I feel they behave this way as some form of defensive mechanism, as the system recognizes people who achieve success through sharp/dubious means.
Hence, they feel ostracized from society, as theirs was primarily through hard work, which is why (in my opinion), they segregate themselves, not because they do not want to help, but sincerely do not know how to change the system.

Where are the moderators? This topic should make the front page; we need to start thinking as a Team where we went wrong and what we can do to remedy this.

Long One:

Definitely not an excuse but you must realise that there were conscious efforts by the racist imperialists to dehumanise blacks.

Everything was done to wipe out our culture, traditions, substitute our language to theirs. Everything was done to reduce the blackman to tools of labour.

But that is the dialectic which liberal hypocrisy hides from them as regards the blackman and the loathsome idea derived from racist western culture that the blackman is impervious to logic.

The question is, is the blackman impervious to logic? Only a psychological analysis can prove this beyond reasonable doubt if any race could have done better in the same history of conditions.
