BLACK MINDLESSNESS

Beneath the Spin*Eric L. Wattree
EFFICIENT THOUGHT IS THE KEY TO BLACK EQUALITY

BLACK MINDLESSNESS

FREE YOUR MIND
AND YOUR ASS WILL FOLLOW
Whenever I hear Black people flo-showin’, talkin’ militant, and trying to prove how down they are for the cause, it not only frustrates me, but it amazes me at how efficient the White man has been in promoting White supremacy. He’s indoctrinated many of us into thinking just like he does without their even knowing it. He’s taught them to hate everyone who doesn’t look, think, and act like themselves, and that’s one of the strongest weapons in the White supremacist arsenal, because it keeps his enemies divided and fighting among themselves. So, while they may think of themselves as strong, Black warriors that’s down for the cause, what they actually are, are valued lieutenants in the White supremacist brigade. White supremacy wouldn’t be able to survive without them.
.
People like that fail to recognize that Black liberation involves more than just talking militant and poking their lips out. They’ve got to realize that the only way that Black people are going to achieve true equality in this society is by out-thinking the White man, and by utilizing the Black man’s most valuable resource, his Black intellectual creativity. The very same intellectual creativity that went into the creation of a John Coltrane, Marvin Gaye and Aretha Franklin can be applied to any other endeavor in society.
.
So, it’s not the White man that’s holding Black people down, he’s incapable of that, it’s our propensity for running our mouths and telling him everything that’s on our mind. And while we're running our mouths and trying to impress one another, the White man is whispering in one another's ear about ways to undermined us. We also tend to be more interested in Twerkin' and flo-showin’ than we are in the pursuit of knowledge and making our intellectual development the new “soul”. As individuals, many of us are not interested in Black equality, our primary interest is in impressing one another and being perceived as being above other Black people. That's why if we're fortunate enough to stumble upon a dollar, the first thing we do is go out and buy a Mercedes and move as far away from the Black community as we can get.

But Donald Trump is a signal - it's time to put away our playthings and get serious. If we don't, we're gonna find ourselves in cages on the border as well. – Eric L. Wattree
