> BLACK PEOPLE, PLEASE, READ & HEED. POIGNANT.

The sad thing about this article is that the essence of it is true. The
truth hurts. I just hope this sets more Black people in motion towards making
real progress. Chris Rock, a Black comedian, even joked that Blacks don't
read.

Help prove them wrong! Read and pass on.

Please Note:

For those of you who heard it, this is the article Dee Lee was reading
this morning on a New York radio station. For those of you who didn't hear
it, this is very deep. This is a heavy piece and a Caucasian wrote it.

THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES We can continue to reap profits from the Blacks
without the effort of physical slavery Look at the current methods of containment
that they use on themselves: IGNORANCE, GREED, and SELFISHNESS.

Their IGNORANCE is the primary weapon of containment. A great man once said,
"The best way to hide something from Black people is to put it in a book." We
now live in the Information Age. They have gained the opportunity to read any
book on any subject through the efforts of their fight for freedom, yet they
refuse to read. There are numerous books readily available at Borders, Barnes &
Noble, and Amazon.com, not to mention their own Black Bookstores that provide
solid blueprints to reach economic equality (which should have been their
fight all along), but few read consistently, if at all.

GREED is another powerful weapon of containment. Blacks, since the abolition
of slavery, have had large amounts of money at their disposal. Last year they
spent 10 billion dollars during Christmas, out of their 450 billion dollars in
total yearly income (2.22%).

Any of us can use them as our target market, for any business venture we care
to dream up, no matter how outlandish, they will buy into it. Being primarily
a consumer people, they function totally by greed. They continually want
more, with little thought for saving or investing.

They would rather buy some new sneaker than invest in starting a
business. Some even neglect their children to have the latest Tommy or FUBU,
And they still think that having a Mercedes, and a big house gives them
"Status" or that they have achieved their Dream.

They are fools! The vast majority of their people are still in poverty
because their greed holds them back from collectively making better
communities.

With the help of BET, and the rest of their black media that often
broadcasts destructive images into their own homes, we will continue to see
huge profits like those of Tommy and Nike. (Tommy Hilfiger has even jeered
them, saying he doesn't want their money, and look at how the fools spend more
with him than ever before!). They'll continue to show off to each other while we
build solid communities with the profits from our businesses that we market to
them.

SELFISHNESS, ingrained in their minds through slavery, is one of the major
ways we can continue to contain them. One of their own, Dubois said that there
was an innate division in their culture. A "Talented Tenth" he called it. He
was correct in his deduction that there are segments of their culture that has
achieved some "form" of success.

However, that segment missed the fullness of his work. They didn't read that
the "Talented Tenth" was then responsible to aid The Non-Talented Ninety
Percent in achieving a better life. Instead, that segment has created another
class, a Buppie class that looks down on their people or aids them in a
condescending manner.

They will never achieve what we have. Their selfishness does not allow them
to be able to work together on any project or endeavor of substance. When they
do get together, their selfishness lets their egos get in the way of their
goal Their so-called help organizations seem to only want to promote their name
without making any real change in their community.

They are content to sit in conferences and conventions in our hotels, and
talk about what they will do, while they award plaques to the best speakers, not
to the best doers. Is there no end to their selfishness? They steadfastly
refuse to see that TOGETHER EACH ACHIEVES MORE (TEAM)

They do not understand that they are no better than each other because of
what they own, as a matter of fact, most of those Buppies are but one or two pay
checks away from poverty. All of which is under the control of our pens in our
offices and our rooms.

Yes, we will continue to contain them as long as they refuse to re ad,
continue to buy anything they want, and keep thinking they are "helping" their
communities by paying dues to organizations which do little other than hold lavish
conventions in our hotels. By the way, don't worry about any of them reading
this letter, remember, 'THEY DON'T READ!!!!
