*******Im very transparent in my reasoning. I'm working for the 'man' now...an International development agency. We train youth in vocational skills, so they can be employable or start their own business.*******
And "the man" is just so loving and generous of you beautiful black people or is he investing LONG-TERM in his outlook and his own agenda?
Once the youth are trained and developed, they definitely wouldn't bite the hand that fed them as they grow older, would they?
I commend your efforts. They are more than noble. But please do not be naive to the strategy.
Neo-colonialism is using today's western trinklets (materialism/ego/capitalism) in contrast to the missionaries' approach (salvation/cultural deconstruction) of a few centuries back.
Why, rasi, do you think 'the man' is being so benevolent nowadays?
Brother, you cannot train THE MASSES to run their own businesses. You need indians to work for chiefs, so you can only have so many chiefs.
It is but an indoctrination of capitalistic and democratic CLASS STRATIFICATION. Its the textbook blueprint of what Marx identified.
Have you read any of Franz Fanon, particularly "The Wretched of the Earth"? If so, would you see any relevance.
There is a difference between education for liberation and education for development.
Development is a code-word for psychological and economic softening up for benefit by elites/controllers.
Development is a pyramid scheme. The first step is the rationalization via the manipulated starvation of the people that would cause ones to lean towards ANY apparent solution laid out before them. You would take mouth-to-mouth resuscitation from a skinhead before you would allow yourself to die.
I still give you word/power to your endeavors. But please don't sell me cocaine and call it baby powder.
"The man" has a 50 year plan. It may look rosy but even when the pedals fall off there remains nothing but thorns.
