I'm glad you decided to wake up in 2007 and post problems that blacks have been facing since the 1800s, yet not offer one solution.
Sloutions?!!!!? I got mad solutions!!!!! First stop leaving the hood to go to Whiteys malls and spend money-It takes the revenue out of the neighbor-"hoods", thats why our streets look like crap.
stop spending your hard earned or drug money on bullshit that the white devil creates to get your money- PS2-XBOX-$1200 spinners on $500 hoopties-clothes with white folks names on them-the don't brand niggas no more just the clothes niggas wear. Just stop spending stupidly. Save up and buy dirt (real estate for those that don't know). Jewelry and all that other bullspit don't do nothing but shine. Time is another factor start using time more productively-They have found ways to make you waste time playing games that are addictive-you will get lazy and fat (the warrior in you will die). Excercise and educate your mind.
Learn more about our true history and contributions to civilization, this will empower you in ways I cannot explain. Success is based on a concept of diligence, economics, awareness, and time management. I tell you what....I will post my paper on the keys to success and see if you agree that this is a solution:I now ask you in my final chapter to consider that every idea begins with a word which incubates a thought. This thought, when it is physically manifest, becomes your creation. The way you perceive the world decides the outcome of your creation. In other words perception dictates action.
There are many of us out there in the world who want to be successful, but just aren’t sure how to go about it. Black people are very talented and as such are potentially successful, meaning it is in you, you just have to reach within and pull it out. By the end of this chapter you should be able to do just that. The keys to success are just some basic guidelines that will help those who are truly seeking a method by which to prepare for success. You must see it to achieve it. The better you perceive success the more effective you will be towards its acquisition.
Let us begin with who we are. As Black people living in America, we are the descendants of a race of people from which all other races sprang. Africa was and is the richest country in the world. 86% of the world’s natural resources come out of Africa. History clearly shows that even with our identities stripped from us, our intellect and thirst for knowledge was still unbridled. Who and what we are can be found imprinted in our DNA and the melanin in us gives us power unmatched. We are without doubt a physically and spiritually powerful people.
Power is untapped potential and we have much of that. One of the biggest myths perpetuated is that claims black people are lazy and shiftless. To be lazy or shiftless one must enter a state of being “static” (non-moving). Black people are far removed from being this. The average black person has to work twice as hard as their less than average white counter part for the same pay. Even the street or homeless person in America has to be in a perpetual state of movement to avoid incarceration for loitering. And if that street vagrant were to stop hustling he’d starve to death. Black people are not lazy, but many of us are very uneducated consumers. This is the source of our economic powerlessness.
Economics is basically; the study of how money is distributed and controlled. And, as I said earlier, power in untapped potential. So economic powerlessness describes; the way that we distribute our untapped ability to others, rendering ourselves powerless. As black people our biggest problem is our indoctrination into a westernized way of life.
We have embraced a way of life that is counterproductive to who we are and where we want to be. Our people perish for a lack of knowledge; we have become an ignorant lot. Ignorant meaning; having no knowledge of. The Caucasian has trained us to be this way. But our genetics causes some of us to shake off the programming and overwrite it with information stored in our genes. This is how some of us can see through the bull the white man tries to hand us. As a poor righteous teacher I am here to tell you that you have the power. You just can’t see it because they (the whites) keep you so off balance, so off track and so misdirected that you are not getting the opportunity to clear your head and focus.
An educated clear black mind is the last thing the racist Caucasoid wants to see. Food for thought; what would happen if for just 24 hours (1 day) every person who considers themselves black or African refused to purchase any goods or services from non-black or non-African people? Just consider the repercussions of this event happening nationwide. Now move on towards those “keys”. True success requires careful planning and preparation. Tomorrow is promised to no man but it doesn’t hurt to be a little prepared if it happens to arrive.
A successful businessman never puts all his eggs in one basket. A successful businessman sets up multiple streams of income. Success requires discipline. Discipline is like setting a goal or plan and sticking to it. When faced with adversity or an obstacle it is important to build up momentum until you break through, even then do not slow down an become content or satisfied with the immediate success. You must be of and maintain a determined mindset. Do not take your present success for granted, plan on making it even better. At your earliest convenience be sure to bank 3-6 months of income in preparation for a rainy day. Your wealth is; money with a specific purpose, always stay focused on the purpose that you intend for your monies. As you get more and more payoffs from your investments be sure to reinvest the profits. It is often said, in wealthy circles, “the more you make the less you have to spend”. The reason this is so is because there is always something to invest your money in rather than squander it away on pop culture trash. Generally speaking if you are an adult with a job, food, clothing and shelter; then everything you “need” you already have.
Anything beyond this that you find yourself “desiring” is usually a “want” that is not required for survival. Spending $150 on tennis shoes that will not truly improve your game is an example of a poor investment, especially when the price drops to $39 after just a few months. A good example of a wise investment would be to purchase a piece of real estate in a small but growing town.. All pop culture businesses spend a fortune on advertising for their products just to trick you into feeling it is a necessity to purchase the advertised product. Businesses will even pay celebrities and their ilk to do testimonials that tug at your heart strings and get your money. These are all tactical methods used to keep black consumers broke. It is a known fact that black consumers love pretty pictures and are influenced by such. All enterprising business persons from foreign countries are taught that black people in America are very superficial and not economically bright. That is why all foreign people who come to America start their businesses in black neighborhoods with the black dollar as their goal.
How many small black businesses ever got started in a Chinese/Korean neighborhood in America? How about a Hindu or Pakistani neighborhood. Okay how about a white neighborhood? Have you ever considered this? I pose this question because they can be found doing great business in our neighborhoods while sucking us dry with a smile. To become successful we must stop being pimped. We must adopt wiser spending habits. Success is a science that just about anyone can learn.
You see learning success is easy, living it is the hard part. In order to achieve success you must be willing to convert to a disciplined lifestyle, ignoring the pull of popular culture and all its bad habits that keep a black person penny-less. The main rule of pop culture is; in order to stay in with the in crowd you must spend all your money all the time with reckless abandon. Look I know that our people have been down and oppressed for so long that there is an inner desperation for those with low self esteem to feel like some one important and to look like someone wealthy. The only problem with that is the truly wealthy don’t go around dressing flashy. Wealth shows itself in two places your mind and bank account.
Becoming successful takes a lot of work but you must work smart not hard. You have to use your head and flex your brain. Break out of the mind-code lockdown that the beast has you in. Free yourself!!!!
