The oppressor is smarter than we attempt to perceive. We are not thinking clearly as to how far ahead he thinks about his strategies against our people. We were sleep while the HIV/AIDS epidemic was in the making in the early nineties, us enjoying the so-called "first Black president" While we basked in the glory of an Arkansas trailer boy, the minds of the oppressor were plotting our death via HIV/AIDS.

What today, is he working on that will affect us in the future? He is working on a plan to induce us to believe everything is alright pertaining to racial equality while he and his underlings, school superintendents, judges, police officers, and other government workers, enforce stipulated laws, policies and procedures that has a trail of red tape behind it as long as Texas.

He will reflect back on the past to remind us that there has been Grammy winners, Secretary of States, Congress people, and other high-ranking officials and offices held by Black Americans. That way, we will look back and think twice before we cry racism. Only the weak mind will allow this trick to work without looking at the situation right before their eyes and in the here and now.

The red tape tangles up Black progress simply because it is loop-holes based on his rules and regulations; his concepts, his plans, his visions of what America should be, with little concern for the entire population of Black Americas. Not the entire population because there is a clique he has chosen to fulfill his agenda, which are a team of tokenized brothers and sisters who have inconspicuously agreed - with greed - with his agenda and plans.

This team enforces laws, policies, curriculum, and other institutional stigmas that divide opportunity along racial lines, even without knowledge. This team does not realize that it is they who help to hold back struggling and striving Black brothers and sisters trying to better themselves. If we had our own schema, we would have more, but we operate under the schema of his mind.

We have to first realize that without a plan for own future, we will always be subject to ingenious oppression. Then we must organize and decide to create and implement our own future through the use of independent structures, written constitution and laws, curricula, and policies and procedures that regulate our own lives.

Those Blacks who have the so-called Western education and school of thought must realize that with that knowledge and an understanding of the way their own people think and live, we can write the destiny of our own future and give hope and direction to our children.

We will not have to abide by their standards of learning, abide by their concepts and practices of psychological childrearing and family planning, obey the biased laws enforced by a racially driven justice system, banking, health, or political systems. We can reach out to learn our people and write the expectations of ourselves according to whom we are and what we want to do.

As long as we are tokenized and indoctrinated by his plan to infiltrate on our own people, we will never get ahead in a society and world that is regulated by the definitions of what life is according to him. We must break free and do what we know is right; become independent, self-sufficient, and free from the concept of tokenism.
