THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT/BRO. HOWARD X
So-called African Americans talk real big about the Civil Rights Movement and all the gains Black America made in that struggle. So-called African Americans are walking around with their chest poked out talking about “Look how far we’ve come.”
Any good business man knows, in order to know the profit for that year, he must calculate the gains with the losses, before he can do any celebrating. This is something that so-called African Americans fail to do. They are too quick to pat themselves on the Back and give each other high fives with out calculating the losses!
The 2007 Blackman and woman are just as far behind the 2007 Whiteman and woman as the 1950’s and 60’s Black man and woman were behind the 1950’s and 60’s Whiteman and woman! We deceive our selves by still using the standards used in 1950, not understanding that the whole country has progressed since then and you must use today’s standards to get an accurate account of the progress that was or wasn’t made. Furthermore, who gives a damn about how many are going to college or how many are in corporate America! Did the field Niggah feel proud to see Chicken George move up the ranks? Did they get happy because one of their own moved from field hand to Overseer? We have completely lost our minds!
Most Uncle Toms would call how I evaluate the so-called success of “African Americans” as “The Crab in the Barrel” effect! I think that we disrespect the crabs when we compare our Uncle Toming to their struggle for freedom! The Crabs in the Barrel understand that the barrel (American society/system) is not their home. They are not silly enough to except the fact that they have been captured. They understand that the Ocean is their home and they have a natural yearning to be free. The only problem with the crabs is they don’t have the intelligence to make freedom a reality! We on the other hand don’t fight to get out of our barrel like the crabs. We fight each other for better positions in the Barrel. The crabs don’t try to rename themselves after the barrel like we do; they don’t say this is the best barrel in the shipping yard!
So, we shouldn’t confuse a struggle for freedom with a struggle to be accepted! “African Americans”, I believe, don’t really believe that the accomplishments they attach to the Civil Rights Movement were made by the
Movement alone! If we did in fact believe and we respected the sacrifices our Brothas and Sistahs made to attain all of this then why don’t we continue the fight now for something we can call our own? Why do we have the attitude that we can’t do anything in this white man’s society but submit to him? If you are a believer in the Civil Rights Movement, why aren’t we fighting hard like they fought? We believe they attained voting rights for us, desegregation, and the right to sit next to White folk on the bus. Why not fight just as hard now for something we can call our own?
Why not? Because we know, deep down in our hearts, that the so-called Civil Rights Movement was controlled by the Whiteman and every crumb gained in that movement was gained by his permission and his permission alone! African Americans are just happy to be able to pretend to be equal! Embracing any doctrine or philosophy that makes it okay to submit and makes it God’s will to love your enemy! I was once asked by a friend; “If Black people ever got a Land of their own and it was successful would I leave America and become a citizen of this Nation?” My response was yes I would definitely go. But, I would not forget what these devils did to our ancestors here in America! I said if I was a part of this New Black Nation, I would be with the men forming a Liberation Army and roll on this No Good Devil like they rolled on Saddam! I said, “we would tell them to give us what you owe us or else!” Our Liberation Army would make a name for our Nation by checking America and getting what she owes us, letting the whole world know that Slavery will never happen again.
