Don't be offended, Black People, this is so true!!!! Subject: FW: Statement Read On NYC Radio Station Regarding Black People 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. Dee Lee, CFP Harvard Financial Educators Dee Lee: 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!!!!

ah boi. the world isnt equal, we all know that. its time to stop turning things into black this or white that and lets just look on it as people. There is no stats there that can claim anything. Blacks arent the only people who dont read, are selfish etc etc. I dont know about unnu, but i'm tired of separating myself and joining a group. Blacks this or white that, it doesnt matter. I want to excel and none of what is written above pertains to me as an individual. We only have one life and its about time the grouping thing stop. Stop mek people live unnu life fi unnu. a di same thing this article doing, letting unnu look down on unnu self or other blacks to say, yes its true. Stop passing on this rubbish, if unnu know unnu self and know sey unnu can read and nuh selfish then stop encouraging it and doubting unnu self.

I Agree..that our ppl do not read... that we also fight against each other...but these i believe are mental hereditary traits...,as from our foundation, we have bin tarnished by the "whites", with enslavement... the recovery of our race from those have not materialised, note.. as a small plant, compared to us...is bent an had matured in that way..it will remain bent..an grow with that, the bend heere would be those characteristics that continue to undermine our development an growth as a ppl... put another thru this condition..an the same would occur . it cannot be wholely said that we r responsible for our enevitable enlightenment..i say enevitable..because this will occur, but in a timely manner. the "whites" continue to capitalise thru our stereotype, as they keep our minds occupied.... marketing soley against us.. yes, they know our weakness... an use it against us with full effect.

its not to say that we r looking down on our selves or an act of separation... as i tell u didnt read it wholey... but it is mentioned in the paragraph ...that the onl was towards our development an advancing (the world on a hole too) is the become one an work towards a common goal... so ur point of separation isnt valid... for us as a ppl, we need to accept our miscommings an learn from it... then look past it never to repeat..for i believe if we fail to forget the past...its boud to reapeat itself. the world on a whole needs to wise up..an awake from the open eyed sleep...the box that we r in.
