From physical to psychological bondage did we graduate. Many Black-Americans are girded with blinders and therefore cannot, or will not, see the psychological ties that truly bind us. But Afromerica will reveal those shackles to you and offer solutions on breaking them. With a 7 phase agenda, studied and practiced sincerely by Black-America on individual and ultimately collective bases, in less than 5-years we will be completely psychologically emancipated, self-sufficient, and happy.

Each phase covers areas of attack that the war-counsel of Black-America past has mis-managed. Though their battles have brought victories in some areas, those victories were a result of indifference at the least. A better strategy is laid out before you, by appealing to the arrogance of white America instead of their legal and legislative system. Meaning, if we withdraw ourselves from their presence, (suburbs, educational facilities and such), they would be so elated that they could not help but undermine our efforts, which reveals jealousy, vindictiveness, and the desired reaction, racism.

Phase 1 | Family

The first phase begins where the foundation of any society begins and builds upward, (as all the other phases), which is the family structure. We know the current state of the Black family - as it is in total disarray - the goal is to rebuild. We first pinpoint where the destruction is coming from.

Is it the Black man who may be born to abandon his children? No, all men are born equally in potential, only their surroundings can dictate their future. Is it the Black woman? No, the same goes for her potential. Then what is the underlying factor that has thrown a bad brick in the building of the Black family?

Answer
America's governmental policies of family intrusion: from the legislation of divorce and alimony to the enforcement of child support (a system that can deny no one service), to the regulatory monitoring of child protective services. These systematic legalities drive a wedge in the modern family by the use of government paternalism, a practice not used since the dark ages of the Catholic Church.

Solution
Though this practice of paternalism effects all American families, the effects of it on Black families is twice as detrimental because we are a minority drawn into a mainstream majority culture; therefore, it does more damage to more of us. There is no real outcry from neither Black nor white leaders because it has yet to become an issue among whites themselves. As long as the issue affects Black families only and does not touch white ones, the problem will never be a real problem.

To combat this detrimental invasion on the Black family, Black men and women must avoid, by all cost, each of the above systems; the divorce courts, child support authorities, and the temptation to involve child protective services in any situation that cannot be handled by concerned locals.

To avoid divorce court, couples should first avoid the legal system of matrimony, which is nothing more than a variable of the Census process. It is to track marriages in relation to population, child birth, and general marketing information. No where in the world is marriage as diluted as it is here in the U.S.

Instead, couples should marry according to the laws of God and of nature, which is for love and not money or convenience. They should honor and respect the sanctity of marriage by practicing wholesome ways of abstinence and courtship through family ties. Parents of the Black communities throughout the country should attend marriage programs based on solid concepts written and designed by wise men and women.

The divorce rate in America alone equal that of the entire world. This is because the sanctity of marriage has lost its true meaning as a result of the alternative lifestyle trend sweeping through the country. Divorce leads to malice on the part of both husband and wife, in which afterward the woman decides to take advantage of the laws granted to her and to the destruction of men in general, such as child support and alimony. God forbid a man does not support his family, but it is possible to do without force from the government.

Once a man is drained of most of his earnings, he is no more a part of the American dream but of the dead-beat society that segregates him into a world of second hand everything. No one has yet to question the fairness of this system without the fear of being ostracized and condemned to hell for being a heartless bastard of a man.

Black America should recognize this for what it really is and deliberate alternatives to this system. America is not the only country in the world with families and by no means the brightest of minds where it pertains to judgment of family affairs, so why trust in a failing and destructive system, especially one that destroys the essence of Black culture.

Phase 1 Recap

To rebuild the structure of the Black family:

• Do not opt-in to the American legalities of marriage
• Do not destroy your family and relationships using the child support system
• Do not trust the courts to decide your future or the future of a Black child

Of course many questions and counterpoints arise when contemplating the above solutions, such as, "what if a man does not want to support his child or commit himself to his family?" The answer is simple. If the Black family begins as nature suggest, then separation of the couple and then need for these system would never arise.

If young men and women had respect for what life truly means then there would be no illegitimate children born into hard times. This knowledge - of how to respect life - must begin from the teachings of those with experience in love and family, and not from people who have degrees in such areas. The natural and spiritual is twice as powerful as the academic.

Phase 2 | Community

The next phase moves into a community build upon the structure of the first phase, families with strong foundations unblemished by societal trends. The Black community at current suffers from crime and drugs as a result of lack of economic resources. Aside from the many government programs that recruit urban Blacks, the closes thing to intervention in the Black community is the local churches and schools, which are the secondary mentors of our children besides the parents.

Are Blacks cursed to poverty from birth and eternally sentenced to life in the urban ghettos and communities by God? No. This is the result of a racist system and social structure. Are Blacks natural born criminals, drug dealers and sexually dysfunctional? No. This is the residue of generational conditions pre-proposed by a system once legal. If Black America wishes to shed the stigma of this social degradation, they must first renounce the white man's system of things; for it is by this same system that we are where we are.

The reason our communities suffer the way they do is because of neglect and obviously racism. No one should blind themselves to what is real. Black communities do not receive the treatment and resources white communities do. This is a fact and cannot be ignored. And it is not because Blacks destroy what they have, this is a blatant lie.

The Black communities are the way they are because the Blacks who are supposedly intellectual and resourceful enough to raise the standard, leave the Black communities and run to the white ones instead of investing in what we already have. The Black communities are the way they are because organizations like the NAACP whine constantly about not receiving enough government handouts thus driving an even deeper wedge in the push to liberation.

Solution
Stop running behind whites having the attitude that you must "get out of the ghetto and into the suburbs where it's safe," this is what the white man thinks. What a Black person does when they take on this mind-set is to demoralize their own people, and themselves. If the resources gained from education and success can be used inside the Black community, whereby Black pride is the standard, why take that success and give it to the white man and then turn and criticize your own people?

Whites will work with Blacks and they will eat lunch with Blacks and they will even invite you to their house and visit yours, but when it's time to go home at night, whites do not want to see you driving behind them on the interstate. The further they move out and we come behind, the further they move out.

Phase 2 Recap

To rebuild the Black community:

• Recycle your money back into the Black community (schools, business, etc.)
• Lay roots in the Black community and develop culture
• Use the education and knowledge from higher learning to strengthen the community
• Do not run behind the white man to integrate - HE DOES NOT WANT YOU!

Phase 3 | Resources

In order to have anything in this country one must have an education (which would place them into the workforce), talent and courage to earn from that talent, or money. Two out of 3 is on the Black person's side. The percentage of Blacks who do have money is not nearly enough to lay a foundation for our future, however, it would be if it was directed positively.

Phase three is the resources phase. Pooling resources, which includes, education, talent, and money, and structuring it wisely by proportioning it equally throughout the Black nation could lay a strong and sure foundation. This endeavor would take wise men and women who would only have Black America's future at heart. Once coordinated, Black America could cultivate their higher learning system down to their public schools.

In addition, capitalizing on the talent of our people brings in millions each year from both Black and white markets, and if directed accordingly, would lay up riches for further development of talent and for future generations of participants. This includes, music, dance, sports (our own teams and leagues), theater and radio and television medium. And not the medium structured by white design and concepts but by unique and creative Black minds.

Exploitation of Blacks in each the above areas is just that, because we, collectively, see none of the proceeds for benefit of our own welfare. Instead, Black entertainers and athletes are indoctrinated with the individualist mentality which supports and feeds into the white sector yet totally neglects the Black sector of society. They believe that they have succeeded with hard work and thrift yet they have only succeeded the white man's way. True success would mean returning to and supporting were you came from and never forgetting just what your own people are up against in this country.

Solution
As stated earlier, Blacks who have the resources and education, the fame and the fortune, through talent should remember that there is a struggle going on instead of turning and blaming underprivileged Blacks for their own problems - as the white man expects and encourages them to do. They soon forget that though they have succeeded in Hollywood and the NBA or NFL, or some government entity that regulates the destiny of underprivileged Blacks that we, (the underprivileged) remain in a struggle against the oppressor.

A forum should be held that invites as many so-called successful Blacks in America as possible to earnestly consider laying a foundation for the future of our children. If not, Black America will continue to receive nothing more than what white America allows them to have. This is not living in freedom and or a democracy; this is hardly living in an oppressive society under the foot stool of our enemies.

Phase 3 Recap

To avoid further exploitation of the Black population, individuals and renowned leaders of Black persuasion must:

• Pool our most precious resources
• Come together and talk
• Never forget the cradle and return it all to the people

We were promised forty acres and a mule upon freedom from the master, and tough we never received the actual substance from them; God brought forth the promise in His own way. We are blessed with entire communities of major cities and blossom with Black pride, power, and the possibility of unity. Why should we abandon what God has given us to chase after the one who broke his?
