Black people and Power


Black people have been conditioned to suppress their own power. They have been tricked into viewing useless things as useful, and symbolism as advancement. They believe knowledge is power when it is actually potential. Without action or application, knowledge is powerless, like a loaded gun that is never fired. It is power waiting to be used aka potential. Learn all you want but if you aren't moving, you aren't changing anything!

We were the most intelligent people before slavery and during slavery, they precluded us from as much knowledge as they could. Now many of us overcompensate by learning, more learning... and only learning! We are hesitant and resistant to act with newfound knowledge to change our circumstances as a community. 

We erroneously think knowledge is all we need but it's not! We need action! I believe fear is holding us back, as well as insecurities, personal relationships outside of our communities, and ironically a lack of knowledge because many of us do act when we gain knowledge, we just aren't backed enough by the rest of you who choose not to act. Backing up your brothers and sisters, defending your people, supporting your community, and teaching our children are actions you can take! There are many roles to take action in!


Many of us fear power, another conditioning tactic to be honest. That old phrase "power corrupts" is a specious narrative to keep the powerless, powerless, by scaring you off. Pushing the ideology that weakness and meekness are good. You're just doing what you're told by people that aren't your own. It's been past time for us to not only wake up but act up, in a meaningful, united way to improve and advance our collective, and truly become a community because there is truly no community without unity; and we need unity among ourselves, not among the world. 


We worry so much about every other race of people while our brothers and sisters are dying all around us, are being kidnapped,  taken, sex trafficked, raped, drugged,  robbed, beaten, shot, buck broken, and so much more... ALL AROUND US. This is because of our spiritual destitution. We have been spiritually depleted by our dehumanizing conditioning over the centuries. Why do we care about everyone else then? Because you lack love and respect for yourselves and have to compensate in some ways, not to mention more conditioning. The energy and focus meant to go towards ourselves and our people have been redirected to go to our oppressors, our conditioners, our terrorizers, and colonizers. It's all a part of the plan.

There's nothing spiritually righteous, conducive, positive, or beneficial to support,  feed, defend, and sacrifice for the races of mankind... while you, your family, and your people deteriorate away. NOTHING! They glamorize this in music, entertainment,  religion, and more but it's just not true. You're meant to fight back, not love while you're getting pummeled. That's actually not even love, it's submission to violence and that's not love, it's an abusive, parasitic relationship. We must have a clear understanding of what things mean before we operate,  by doing individual research and communicating with one another. we need, commitment, dedication, and communication to US! It may seem hard or onerous at first but I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT! I know WE can do it. RISE UP BLACK!
