Hypocrisy is running rampant out of the mouths and minds of Black America's gatekeepers. The trendsetters, the image promoters, the value teachers, the role models, and all the rest of the so-called American dream achievers. They have completely sold the masses out by exploiting them through multi-million dollar capitalist ventures at the expense of their low-incomes and lack of formal education.

Instead of providing the Black community with instructional direction, television station owners force reruns of Black 70s sitcoms, perverse sexual exploitation, high maintenance lifestyles, and Uncle Tom political pundits craving white media approval. Radio station owners flood the ears of our young with liberal public service announcements about birth/population control, AIDS [inflicted] awareness, urban morning rap and fragments of Black History month trivia.

University intellectuals downplay any radical concepts not taught from Western textbooks. They use frequent flyer miles on Ivy League credit and visit Black colleges and organizations to indoctrinate potential Black youth to the ways of individualism instead of Black communalism, and they negate theories of nationalism by downplaying self-independence and interactions with the motherland. They stand tall beside printed credentials honored by dead men devoid of wisdom but wise in the art of retention and recall.

The Black screen pumps images of stereotypes through Black whore actors paid to reflect the ways white America directs them to behave. These people shine like grease in Black hair to the pleasure of their white counterparts in an attempt to flatter Black viewers and entertain white ones. They speak about the struggle and where they came from but have neither knowledge nor time to pursue change. So what you were there, we still here.

The Black church leaders laugh at and mock the poor by proclaiming poverty as a spirit while basking in member earnings. They shuck and jive at the pulpit and swear God made them do it, then they turn to the government and smile like God told them to. All these things they do while Black children live below the poverty line, Black women struggle alone, Black men are targeted by a police state and while AIDS and homosexuality kill our people, and they pray for money to shower their dreams.

Black politicians know damn well they cannot make change, they just want publicity. Some may care, but they can only do so much against a system designed not for them but for their oppressors. Yet they look so damn good at that function, them and their wives and second husbands and third wives, while their kids do drugs, commit suicide, and suck each other down. These Black politicians - liberals and conservatives - are enemies of the Black community; realize this fact!

Black athletes play the white man's game for easy money and why not? There is no other way out of poverty and hard living so they take it and many squander it, squander it on women, dope, and evils unknown. They leave school setting a bad example for younger men and women who themselves believe they can do the same but know it is a million to one shot. But there is no other way out.

Not to mention the rappers who cannot answer a simple question about reality because "theys got they mind on theys money and theys…" They cannot rationalize what life is about in these United States or why the young brothers and sisters are the way they are because they have no knowledge of who their own selves are or why. Education? They may have some but what good is it if exploitation of the masses pays the bills?

Talk show host, Oscar winners, degree holders, media activist, C-E'HOES, championship ring bearers, have all that but cannot see what Black America needs. They have not the knowledge to come together and invest in the masses they always hollering at but left behind. They have no understanding of how the American system has played them against us; they have not realized how it is they who have caused the people to go astray, to believe in false images, history, and reports, because the leaders are ignorant, thus the people stay down.

To hell with white America and racism, we all know that is a reality, now we have to deal with the leaders of Black America and their psychological sicknesses, namely arrogance, indifference, lack of planning, leadership, and vision. The answer is to eliminate the government and all its involvement with the Black community and design a self-sufficient structure for Black America. Are there any Black leaders out there capable of this simple feat?

If there are none who can develop where they came from, then do not buy their music, spend your money at their movies, buy their products, support their television and radio stations by watching and listening, do not buy their books, go to their churches, march in their marches, vote for their pimps, give respect, speak their names, wave back at'em or kiss their asses. If they cannot give back, then do not give in.
