It doesn't do any good any more to say "united we stand and divided we fall, because too many of the Black people in Amerikkka today see stepping on each other, as the ONLY way to prosper. A negative few have tainted the whole. Many Black people in the U.S. have conceived the wrong concept of prosperity. The whole of a people cannot prosper if a negative few prey upon the whole. Division amongst the people weakens the whole. The whole cannot prosper if the few sacrifice, or make expendable the whole. The strength and the potential for prosperity of a group of people lay in the unity of the people acting on one accord. It has to become apparent to the Black man in U.S. that we are divided and have fallen and will continue to fall without a massive unification.
The Black youth today in Amerikkka buy into this nonsense that for the money, your brother's life becomes worthless. Too many of todays Black inner city youth in Amerikkka has learned to justify their violent activities in the drug game for the filthy lucre. The Black youth in the U.S. are practicing anything and everything all for the "all mighty dollar and this practice is the manifestation of the ultimate capitalistic philosophy. Total chaos amongst those who are oppressed and the lust for the filthy lucre creates a predatorily existence in the communities of the oppressed. The blood lust over money along with the status and the clout that it brings has altered the perception of reality in the minds of many of the Black youth in Amerikkkas oppressed inner cities. The value of life has been greatly diminished by the violence generated by the drug trade in the oppressed inner city urban communities of Amerikkka. For the false perception of what "hard" is, or the farce of being a "gangster", the unity has been broken amongst the Black youth in the Amerikkkan urban communities. Many young Black males in this country have died, or have been imprisoned as a result of the drug trade, but the cycle is never ending due to the strong appeal of the fast money that comes with the drug trade. This senseless conflict creates over occupied zones of thugs and police where innocent Black families are trying to live in and amongst the Black community. As a result this plagues the Black community and serves as a negative downward gravitational pull.
These young brothers aren't gangsters, or tough they are just confused, misguided, uninformed and lacking a whole lot of culture. Their will and their spirit has been broken and the young Black males in Amerikkka are full of self-hatred, to the point where they no longer value the life of their own brother and in many instances they dont value their own life. In essence what they [the Black youth in the U.S.] are saying by portraying this perceived concept of a gangsta is that they have given up. That the white man was right, we're [the Black people in the U.S.] too lazy to chase down freedom and liberation. And that Black people in Amerikkka are easily divided and misled and is continuously falling for the okey-doke. These so-called young Black gangstas have for the most part "thrown in the towel" and will play the white mans game so to speak. In the role of a gangsta the Black man in Amerikkka detours away from the liberation of the Black man as he brings detriment to the Black community.
Freedom and equality is an unachievable goal. That is the train of thought for too many of our Black youth in Amerikkka. It is too easy for Black people to fall for the trap that society has pitted against us in the oppressive inner city where opportunity is scarce. The lack of opportunity in the oppressed predominately Black neighborhoods in the U.S. leaves the Black children vulnerable to the crime of the inner city streets. Many young Black people in the U.S. do not possess the confidence, structure, nor the foundation to overcome these obstacles, due to the fact that so many of the youth dont know and havent been taught the accomplishments of their ancestors and their fore fathers. Many of the Black youth in Amerikkka are uninformed, uneducated and totally blind to the knowledge of self and lacking any cultural awareness. They have been mislead and are practicing and accepting the theories of this is nigga shit and this is what niggas do. When you hear young Black males in Amerikkka say that, "I'm a gangster"? What they are really saying is that "I'm a coward and the quest for freedom and equality is too overwhelming and I will prey upon my own for crumbs off the table.
This irrational behavior by the Black man in the U.S. displays our lack of unity. The detriment of these actions portrays our people as a whole in a negative light. Many profit from the drug trade the court systems, the lawyers, the prisons, the rehab centers, the clothing industry, the sneaker corporations, the music industry and the car industry. But it is the inner city that becomes the dumping ground and the inner city youth [predominately Black kids and Hispanics] who take the negative wrap. The situation is a catch-twenty-two; poverty and a life in squalor, or push genocide to your people. We all understand that the drug trade in the inner city is a trap, but the sad reality is that for some is that it is also necessary for survival. It is the glorification of the drug trade by the Black man in Amerikkkas culture that projects an ill logical self-destructive image of who we are as a people to the world.
