WOW!!!! This was shared with me.

This is a statement that was read on a NYC Radio Station this morning.

BLACK PEOPLE, PLEASE, READ & HEED. POIGNANT.

The sad thing about this article is that the essence of it is true. The
truth hurts. I just hope this sets more Black people in motion towards
making real progress. Chris Rock, a Black comedian, even joked that
Blacks don't read.

Help prove them wrong! Read and pass on.

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. 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 e
      ven
      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!!!!

      (Prove them wrong. Please pass this on! After Reading it..)
PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS!!!
