What Can We Do To Begin Unifying? (Revised)


Peace be unto you reader. Today, I would like to explore some possible ways we can begin healing ourselves and becoming unified as a nation of people inside of a nation. Black Nationalism is still nothing more than an ideology in this day and time, and I feel it is past due for black nationalism to materialize and no longer be just an idea. Just because I support and am for black nationalism, that does not make me a racist. I do not subscribe to the tenants of racism, but I do feel that we need unity amongst ourselves as blacks in America.

The first thing I believe we all need to do to begin to the  reversal of the brainwashing and begin the healing process is to read what is called the Willie Lynch Papers:The Making of a Slave. You can find the literature online at www.thetalkingdrum.com. Reading this address he made will give insight on to how and why we became, and still are so divided as a people. Understand that this was established during slavery, and you can still see the effects of this still happening today in 2013. This is where the black woman was originally placed as head of the black family instead of the black man. To read and comprehend the principles behind this subjective material is infuriating to me as a black person, as an African-American, as an Stolen-African living in America, and should be antagonizing to anyone else who is of the black race. We cannot undo history, but we can begin to unravel the psychological affliction that has been handed down from generation to generation. This is one reason I do not and cannot agree with those who say "Get over slavery! It was in the past." Yes, chattel slavery was in the past, but the psychological tactics that were used to control and manipulate the slave shows evince to this day. Furthermore, slavery still exists in this country today. Look up the definition of penal labor. If you are an employee and/or you pay taxes, then you are the new modern day slave: the tax slave.

I believe that this is a must read by every black person, young and old, to begin breaking free from the psychological chains that keeps us constrained to effects of slavery. We always keep in mind that they never wanted us Stolen-Africans to unite or have unity and it remains true to this day.

Secondly, I believe that we as a people need to take time and analyze our adversaries. We need to evaluate their teachings, their preachings, and their actions. They want to teach us history, but who's history can they teach us other their own history. They preach freedom and democracy, but they exercise slavery and hypocrisy. They preach peace and non-violence and fight wars against terrorism, but how much peace and non-violence and acts of terror have they exhibited on blacks right here in America. The poor black woman who shoplifts from the grocery store to feed her hungry belly and her starving children is thrown into jail, but who has been charged with stealing America from the natives? Who has been charged and held accountable for the millions of Africans stolen from Africa?  This so-called United States Constitution was written in the language that "All men are created equal...with freedom, liberty, and justice for all." Meanwhile, black men, black women, and black children were still being held and confined as slaves.

So in conclusion to this blog, I would like to say, yes we have come a long way since those days, but we still have so far to go. We have to stop being foolish and attacking each other, as if we do not have more than enough enemies as it is. It does not matter whether it is physically or verbally because both elicit damage to the victim and we, as a people, have been victimized more than and long enough in this, and by this, so-called land of the free.

As usual, I thank you for taking time to read this and I hope that we, as a people, can espouse and get on the track of unity. As I leave, I want to leave you the reader(s) with words of peace. So I say to you all, As-salamu-alaykumu!
