Allow me to make an alternative argument ... that race _is_ the holy grail
of what ails us.
There are four kinds of people in this world ... sheep, wolves, shepherds,
and hirelings:
John 10:[11-14]
"I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are
not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the
wolf
catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he
is
an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and
know
my sheep, and am known of mine."
American centers of education are intentionally designed, by white racists
and occasionally by their brain washed pupils of other races ... to turn
out
mostly sheep, a handful of hirelings, and, occasionally, even a few
wolves.
>From time to time, shepherds like Dr. King, Ghandi, and Leonard Jeffries
manage to come out of colleges with their Divine Spark un-muted and their
Afrikan brain fully in gear. But, these brothers are the exceptions.
Some examples are in order. I already mentioned a few shepherds.
Most people are sheep. They go through life with their heads down. They
rarely, if ever, bother to raise their head and figure out where they came
from, or even where they are going. They are too busy for that. They think
all they have time for in this life is to mate and figure out where their
next mouthful of grass is coming from. Most college graduates fit into
this
category. During graduation, they are applauded as the next generation of
leaders, but they were, in fact, trained to be followers, not leaders.
Almost all of them will go on to work _for_ other people, usually White
Folks.
Folks like W., Saddam Hussein, Hitler, and Osama bin Laden are obviously
the
wolves. (NOTE: Three of these four men hold college degrees. Hitler was
the
exception. He was, well, just flat out dumb. sort of like W., except
without
the wealth and family connections which can paint up a pig and call it a
rose). Wolves come in all races, have no particular loyalties beyond
themselves, and basically exist simply to prey on the sheep. They will
team
up together to fight against the shepherds, but otherwise they are most
definitely loners. They will kill another wolf in a heartbeat if they
think
there is profit in that. And, they are absolutely, positively, frightened
to
death of the shepherds.
The hirelings are, in my opinion, the worst of humanity. You might argue
that some of the wolves do the evil they do simply because they are wolves
and too dumb to know better. But, the hireling is extremely bright. He
deliberately chooses to commit evil. A hireling like Clarence Thomas has
no
honor, no personal dignity. This is why he could ***ually harass a black
woman, the Mother of humanity, then marry a white womam, take advantage of
affirmative action to advance his career, and then take a lifetime seat on
the highest court of the land and do all he can to prevent other blacks
from
benefiiting from the same breaks he sought all his life. He is the lowest
of
mankind and is beyond contempt. But, he is not dumb. The brother did
graduate from Yale. We often forget this because, well, he is too busy
following White Folks' orders to waste time demonstrating his own
intellect.
But, that is what he was formally trained to do and he learned his role
well.
Carter G. Woodson wrote of the dangers of "mis-education" before I was
born,
in his masterpiece, "The Mis-education of the Negro." To paraphase
Woodson's words, you don't have to tell Clarence Thomas to stay in his
place. He will find it on his own. And, then he will insist on sittiing
there and fight you to the death for that priviledge.
I disagree with Bill Cosby's perception that formal education within an
American institute of learning, even a HBCU, represents an adequate
education for an Afrikan. A college education is simply a tool, what is
im****tant is not so much the tool itself as it is how the tool is used.
Mis-educated Black Sheep have helped White Folks kill other people
throughout the history of Ameica. You wanna tick off a group of Black
Folks?
Say something bad about the Tuskegee Air Men. Now, at some level, we know
that these brothers' claim to fame is that they helped White Folks kill
people. But, what we choose to dwell on is that these brothers, who were
FORMALLY EDUCATED at a HBCU, chose to serve their community not by
fighting
the white racists who were oppressing their fathers, mothers, sisters, and
sons right here in the US, but rather by helping those same racists kill
other folks on the other side of the planet. And, the rest of us Black
Folks
are so proud of this. Why is it so difficult for Black Folks to recognize
how pathologically sick this is, bordering on the psychotic!
Why have we done such dumb things for our oppressors for so many cenuries?
Simply because we have been "mis-educated", in some cases formally
educated,
in other cases informally educated by the media, to do so.
