Short Term Memory
So what are you saying? That we can't lead ourselves or we need to adopt a new strategy? Well brother if all was perfect we would be able to create our own nation "outside of the Untied State of course" where all would be paradise. We would make our products from our own resources and have our own currency. We would be a fair and compassionate, peace loving nation where everyone is happy. We would close our border to other nations and become totally self sufficient. Well brother if this is the nation you are proposing we need to become than who is operating by faith? Things we need to admit to ourselves; We will never regain what we had. We lost it for a reason and that reason is why we will never regain it. We don't want to regain what we had. We are unwilling to do what it takes to achieve greatness. We must clean up our own house before we worry about someone elses. In our current state we are in no position to wage an effective campaign against our enemy by a show of strength. We will remain defeated if we don't change. We give our power to everything accept ourselves. If the enemy sees our weaknesses then why are we in denial? What is the solution for African Americans? I believe own goals are the same as any other nation of people. We want quality of life for the majority of our people. Before we go to the table with the powers that be we must first say, I don't need your welfare that imprisons me in poverty. I don't need your morality that destroys my culture. I don't need your police that have become an occupying force in my neighborhood. I don't need your god with blue eyes and blonde hair that subjugates me. I don't need your alcohol and cigarette that you tax absorbadently that robs me of my health and wealth. We don't need your education that teaches me nothing about myself. This are things that we can control ourselves but we don't. So until that day comes when we are able to engage our enemy in a frontal assault we need to rely on deception as part of our strategy.

panafrica said:Study warfare from who Radical Faith? You? Your strategy seems to be supporting those who will work for the "enemy". You are implying that having blacks in all aspects of society will lull whites into a "false sense of security". Well I will say this, while I still fail to see anything "radical" about your views, you definately qualify as having "Faith"!
You must have faith to believe that these individuals will work for the betterment of the black community, and that whites will be fooled by their actions. However, this isn't the case with people like Dr. Rice, Clarence Thomas, and people of their ilk! It is apparent that they support policies that are detrimential to the African American community. Indeed take Clarence Thomas he is currently appointed to a lifetime position, and can only be removed if he dies or resigns. While it might have been necessary for him to "play" the role of anti-civil rights conservative to gain his position, it was not necessary to continue this role once he got in. He continues this position because that is what he believes! He is not "pretending" to be working with the enemy...he is the enemy (as much as a white man with his views would be the enemy). Your "war" strategy has been employed by Africans since the beginning of the Trans-Saharan trade, and the results have been the slavery & oppression of Africans. Your comparison about ineffective leaders in the black church (which I agree with), is a perfect example of how harmful it is to have people from our community is positions of power, if they are not working towards the betterment of the community as a whole (not the benefit of a handful of individuals).
