Ignorance - A disease best inoculated with knowledge

Why Afro-Americans are relevant in America today We Afro-Americans are in another of our periods of occupation. Ours is a history of occupations, stretching back over the centuries – the Rothchild’s, the Lincolns, the Roosevelt’s, J. Edgar Hoover, the stock market crash, for a short period segregation, and again, the Bush’s. Yet, the African-Americans remain. The Blacks remain. Why you may ask? Because over the centuries we learned how to survive conquest. Sometimes by fighting back, but more often by adapting to the ways of the conqueror. You say we are supine, “a race of slaves”? Not so I say. Never forget our pride. We are large in numbers, and powerful enough to be dangerous to the conqueror. Why do we remain, why were we not decimated? The answer is that each succeeding wave of conquerors discovered that the enslaving of blacks, the hanging, and the pillaging, the raping, and the looting – all of this was only the first step in conquest. Someone had to rebuild the country. Someone was needed to till the fields, and bring in the harvest required to feed the conqueror. And someone else was needed to serve as the buffer, to protect the conquered from the conqueror. That is what the Blacks have done. Over the centuries we developed certain skills. Without selling ourselves to the victors, we learned how to blunt their assault. We learned how to lead without appearing to lead. When to move forward, and when to retreat. What you must understand is that for most conquerors “conquest” is an end in itself, but for us, for an African-American it’s only the beginning. But now, at this stage, what do we do? WE WAIT… But waiting does not mean we’re doing nothing. These Structures around the country are less than 500 years old. The oppressed, (be they slaves or natives) built Structures before these. Structures are perishable, buildings come down and skyscrapers go up. High-rise apartment buildings, another structure. The government insist on building them and we cannot stop them. They are the conquerors. But what we can do is make certain that African-American laborers are employed to put up those structures. BLACK masons Black plumbers and Black electricians, feeding their families on high government wages. Higher wages than we ever dreamt of in slavery. Let them build their skyscrapers, and while they build, we grow. In what sense, you ask? The answer is: That African Americans breed faster than they expect us too. Higher wages lead to larger families. In time we will be the majority then we will vote their asses into the ocean. Enter... “Barack Obama”.
