ESPN's Stacey Dash: Sage Steele Claims Blacks Have Been Racist Towards Her...Even Though She's Black Herself...

Them doing it for "White validation" is simply your opinion.

As far as empowerment of Africans globally. It's really simple in theory but hard in practice.

Just do the same thing the europeans did to make the African the negro.

If you were to let free the very first generation of African Slaves, they would quickly assemble in their own group/tribe and act in the interest of each other. The 2nd Generation would run around like headless chickens, like the current negro today.

What I'm saying is, the next generation must be mass educated into a sense of nationhood, groupthink and group empowerment based on an African perspective.

That way, there is no possible way some koreans can come in their neighbourhood and sell to them. There would be no way they would see their hair and skin tone as inferior. There would be no way their kids kill themselves at such high rates.

The negro is the negro because of a passed on mentality. And anyone who has studied psychology to any degree knows that a mentality stays with you for the rest of your life no matter how much you tell him otherwise at an older age. That's why this whole "buy black", "support black", although cute, it really does little because if you look at any other ethnic groups, whether it be korean, chinese, indian, nigerian, they don't have to tell each other to buy from themselves, they don't have what amos calls a falsified mind.

Literally every single one of your critiquing post is about the mentality of the negro. "Buy black", "You don't have to light to be beautiful", "bed wenches" and the list goes on and on. You do realize that this mentality has been passed on since slavery time and it's passed on orally through parents, peers and cemented through media like tv?

Don't you think it's ridiculous that the way you try to combat it is by writing op-ed's and critiques and maybe like boyce does, make a video?

Don't you think a more appropriate way to change this mentality is to remove the source of it before it even becomes a part of the individuals personality? If tommy sotomayor was educated in a fully afro-centric curriculum he wouldn't be the negro he is today, so I don't direct my energy towards tommy, he's only the result of his past.

If people's mentality and subconscious thoughts shifted fluidly through adulthood, then I too would be a huge proponent of people like Boyce Watkins, Tariq, Claude Anderson. Unfortunately, that's not how the human brain works.

We have to be like Amos and Umar, we need to create institutions of aim to do so in order to educate the next generation from onset. A large reason why amos wrote so much is because he wanted to write all the books for a fully Afro-centric curriculum.

It is by education that we become prepared for our duties and responsibilities in life. If one is badly educated he must naturally fail in the proper assumption and practice of his duties and responsibilities, - Marcus Garvey
