Greetings and Salutations to my sweet, lovely Sorors. Hello to my sisterfriends, fellow greek members and guests!!! I have been very, very busy at work
And I am Blaaa-ck....
Anyhow, 1 woman: What you have been saying is very interesting to me. It appears you have a "corporate economic" foundation and must be a professional in this field!!!
To ALL: sorry this is long... I might not get another chance to write in awhile. Don't read if you don't want enlightenment...
My question is this, why do we even
want the Black dollar to stay in the Black community? More importantly, why isn't our dollars INVESTING in the black community? (What happened to Atlanta Life? or better yet that back over dere?) Why do you think that all we do when we get money is purchase goods and services from outsiders? There is a historical reason for that, right... Can you say, Black Wall Street in Oklahoma? Basically, for us negros, what is wrong with others economically profitting from us? "They've" been doing this to us for over 500 years, and we choose to stay in amerikkklan (don't leave massa), ... Do we think it's ever gonna change?
Also, the Pan Afrikannists believe there is an actual "government" sponsored discrimination act for the TOTAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT of an Afrikan centered community anywhere in this world... The "powers that be" bombed the coastline so that the former Afrikan slaves and their descendants could be repatriated in Liberia... Yet, they wanted us NOT to go for reasons I will not go into and because we were not allowed to build ships... Moreover that is why Marcus Garvey started his movement, and why WEB DuBois renounced his citizenship to become a Ghanian.
Presidents Jomo Kenyatta and Kwame Nkrumah actively sought fellow Afrikans stuck in amerikkklan to become a citizens of their countries, but the National Security Council along with the CIA and the United Nations squashed that idea, IMMEDIATELY!!! Calling them Communists. Only Kwame Ture and a few other families have conducted full repatriation or Re-Afrikanization...
What does this have to do with the price of tea in China?
We, the descendants of Afrikan slaves, do not have an identifiable "land" which we can call our own to provide CAPITAL for the Internationa Monetary Fund (IMF) and contract PROJECTS, like building shopping centers, freeways and basically FUND a building for CITY GOVERNMENTS!!! Like "Dey, gon' let us make a Co' hawse..." ALL other ethnic groups, including relocated continental Africans have that ability...
We are basing our economies on the concept of Ujamaa, cooperative econcomics, where in amerikkklan Capitalism, kill or be killed, the rat race, the survival of the fittest, the whatever you wanna call it, just name it Yurugu's money--- is name of the game. Better yet, "Give back to Caesar, what is Caesar's!!!"
I suggest some of you survey your dollar bills and try to understand where those symbols came from and why those symbols were put there... Uh, like there are no pyramids in the United States--and that chit in Vegas don't count 'cuz since it's been built its jacked up the weather and weird chit goes on in there... Ummm, like on that pyramid, the 3rd eye is present... Why?
It seems to me, IMO, that a lot of us are very ignorant about the functional usage of economic systems in the Europee-on (New ) world (order) view. WE negroes are consumers, they (Massas) are Investors...
But we can become investors! Just not under capitalism... Oh yeah, sure, there are many of us black folx who profit under capitalism--no system is perfect. And our complete economic freedom in a Yurugian world? Okay...
And if you don't think that this happens in the 21st century, you try contracting the purchase of building permits, override city zoning based on redistricting, eviction of "undesirables" with police help and having RUNNING water, no rolling blackout with your own generator electricity and no Ma.bell.com without capital investors and the Mayor's office in a Black neighborhood to help African Americans go on an exchange program in dance and drumming in Ghana... And the Black Neighborhood has yet to be gentrified!!! 'Cuz I tell ya', mines has been cut up real bad, and these cap. investors are snatchin' up land like it ain' t no tomorrow... And there are OCEANVIEWS and a rail line that will be very, very close to the NEW Baseball Ballpark being built and close enuf, nicely, to the active upscale downtown SoCal lifestyle... I sho do wish I had me dem $$$...
Nuff sed...
