LETTER TO BLACK TUMBLR. VERY IMPORTANT. [If you’re BLACK please READ & REPOST].
Black Tumblr/ Black people. We need to do better man. I love all races and all forms of life and it’s important to realize that there a lot of White/Asian/Hispanic etc. people with good hearts. If you’re one of them reading this, it’s all love. I didn’t write this to promote hatred & cause division.
With that said, I strongly believe that we as black people are the original ‘man’ (original human race). There’s a lot evidence to support this, and it is an idea which definitely resonates with me. I feel the reason why we are so heavily persecuted and hated across the world is because other races fear our potential. It is God’s way of testing us, to prepare us for the new heaven. It always has, and always will begin with us, but, if we truly believe that we’re the Gods/Goddesses of this planet; it’s about time we start acting like it…
Change begins with self-image and the perception of self. I personally don’t like the term ‘black’ very much, it carries too many negative connotations. I prefer terms such as “Negus” (which means ‘emperor’ in the African language of Amharic) or “Nubian”. Regardless of what you decide to call yourself; DO NOT allow parents, teachers, other races, to compartmentalize your existence into this idea of slaves picking cotton; the history books in schools do not tell the full story and your past is much deeper than that. Personally, when I look in the mirror, I see the son of kings, queens and deities…not slaves. I may come across as arrogant for it; but sorry, I don’t care. No fucks shall be granted my friend. Those who judge me can take a seat, because you aren’t paying my car insurance and won’t be raising my kids. I get deeply offended when people of other races think it’s acceptable to talk down to me. Fuck outta here, I was here first. We as black people are royalty…
We’ve fallen off… For as long as this planet has existed, ancient empires, historical monuments, social and mathematical sciences, inventions, even the United States of America, were built off of the strength and collective life force of our black mothers and fathers. The very same blood, skin & melanin that flowed through them, is in us, but what do we as a generation have to show for ourselves? A couple rappers and basketball players? Fair enough we’re recovering from 200+ years of mental, physical and institutionalized slavery but I still very much feel that we have fallen off, especially when black people struggle to congregate in one area without there being some type of violence. We’ve fallen off a lot, and to me, it’s embarrassing…
Many of us are still slaves! Unless you wake up in the morning and do whatever you feel like doing, unfortunately, you are not a sovereign being; you are a slave (to the system/oppressor). I’m also in this category and I wake up pissed off every day, whereas many of us have accepted it because it’s been imposed on our brains as the ‘norm’. There’s not much that many of us can do to change this, but all of us can liberate our minds. Truth is, the majority of people who are living happily oppressed are mental slaves. Harriet Tubman said she ‘freed 1000 slaves, and could’ve freed 1000 more if they knew they were slaves’ which means, despite being raped, pillaged, whipped, and forced to pick cotton they still didn’t realize that they were slaves. Let that sink in. This goes to show how powerful a tool mental slavery is, and why your oppressor uses it against you.
The black race is the only collection of people on the planet that doesn’t have their own religion. I understand the white oppressor robbed our inherent spirituality from us, but on a common-sense level, I rarely see Asian people worshiping a white deity, and I definitely haven’t seen white people worshiping a deity who isn’t white, so why are black people so quick to worship images of Cesare Borgia (the Italian pope’s son that most people know as Jesus - google that). If we’re not worshiping white Jesus we’re worshiping celebrities who promote pure ignorance. ‘Get money’, ‘Fuck bitches’, ‘Kill that nigga’. It’s very easy to get caught up in these ideals even for myself, and it’s no wonder why these ideals have permeated our culture, our society, our minds, and collectively our reality. What kind of environment are we creating for our children? We no longer trust and support each other. We lack unity.
What you can do starting today is think about the effect these negative influences are having on your mind, and how they impact you every day.
No one person can fix an entire race on their own, but each of us can affect our two closest friends, with positive and constructive energy by discussing these issues and elevating our mind-set. It’s a bit idealistic, but if everyone did this on a small scale, you may eventually reach a whole community/town/city/state/coast/country/race.
Our parents had their time. It’s a new age, university degrees do not create as many opportunities as they once did and it’s difficult for black men to avoid incarceration, let alone survive off the minimum wage we’re expected to settle for. This is our world now. Change starts with us. It starts within our homes. We need to stop looking for handouts from the same people who enslaved us and accept that nobody wants us to win. They hate you, if you’re not profiting them in some way they want you dead. This system is engineered for you, as a black person, to lose. Remember that. We need to learn to start thinking for ourselves. We need to start thinking militantly, creatively and economically, for our survival.
Promote any positive information which uplifts us as a people. All of that ignorance and self-hate shit needs to be deleted, and we need to start checking people living in their blissful ignorance. Try to educate yourself. Question everything. Be skeptical of anything you hear/read, do your research, even this post could have distorted information.
If you get your hands on some money, don’t fuck it off on designer clothes, or popping bottles at the strip club. Invest in yourself, take an educational course, start a business, pool your money together and start a youth outreach program, a corner store which creates jobs. If you sell drugs; look to invest in commodities that will get you OUT the game, instead of a re-up. These are the things we should be thinking about.
I don’t have all the answers but if you take anything away from this, let it be the fact that our godly ancestors who sacrificed themselves for us must be ‘rolling in their graves’ watching us make a mockery of what they died for, and piss away our inheritance (the world).
They’re not pleased… It’s time to wake up.
God loves you and is with you…
