Land, what does it mean for Black Americans?

Land, what does it mean for Black Americans?

This blog is a spin off from Jamal’s hypothetical philanthropist offer to a Black man coming out a prison. Since the Jamal deleted Clark’s comment, which is typical of Jamal to do, it would seem rational to offer my views overriding the threat of being deleted by Jamal as well in my own blog. It is typical that Negroes has a mentality of never doing the right thing by his own people.

Firstly, I believe the bigger picture that Jamal was trying to convey and get the audiences opinions has to do with the sovereignty of Black Americans on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders using a micro-example of this Black fellow coming out of prison in an overtly way. Therefore, the philanthropist would be acting as God to correct and compensate for the wrongful conviction of this Black fellow. In addition, the wrongful conviction would be the equivalent of Black Americans coming out of slavery. That is, without an education or without 40 acres and a mule, if you will. Consequentially, the playing field is not level. Dr. King achieving affirmative action was to make the playing field level for Black Americans.

Now, how I just explained what I believe the perceptive and sophisticated scenario that Jamal was trying to throw out there made you all wrongfully think inferior or as slaves without wisdom and insight of life would.

For example, Clark fell back on White America’s labor statistics. He does not have it in his mind yet that we need to think and do things for ourselves.

Mr. Amos is thinking about working so he would choose the car rather than thinking about building and manufacturing cars on the land.

Mr. Washington is somewhat confused since he does not realize that any and all tools originally came from the land along with brainpower that he should naturally possess. I would ask him where did the first tool that man held in his hand came from, if it was not from the land and the know-how from his own brain.

Ms. Shields thinking is entirely irrational.

Ms. Jen’s rationale is 100% correct providing that the land is equivalent to a country and the Black fellow is equivalent to the entire population of Black Americans.

Robert is just plain silly.

Cynthia agreed with Clark and she of course does not understand being mentally proactive.

The fundamentals of the question is, what would we, as a people do should God offers us a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with nothing else. Could we go from there? So why should a car or a hooker be chosen unless we are some ignorant people? Have I made any sense?

Tell me what you think.

Hello Clark,

It saddens me that you would think that I am dishonest when I have been more than opening with all of you. Anyhow, all genuine prophets have been trashed out by their own people, it goes with the territory.

Okay, you asked me three questions.

As to the first question, it does not matter why you fell back on labor statistics of the employment status of Black Americans. My point was that we as a people would not need to rely on White America’s statistics tracking us if we were thinking, as we should and desiring to be a sovereign people. However, I welcome your explanation anyhow.

As to your second question, I do not see where chose any one of the three choices. What I see is your exception to Jamal stats.

As to your third question, Cynthia was agreeing with your thoughts that Black Americans are lazy and your exceptions to Jamal stats.

However, I believe the focus concerning this land analogy of Jamal’s is based on Black Americans as a people. Do we want to be free and to be free means to have a country, which is land, am I right.

So instead of nitpicking at each other let us take the bull by the horns, okay. Therefore, the question is would sovereignty be a permanent solution to our problems and simultaneously elevate us to real people in the world with other real people.

Tell me what you think.

Hello Cynthia and Siebra,

I am never able to understand where you two women are coming from. Simply saying to me to be serious without any further explanation of what you are talking about how am I to know what you mean?

Please help me to understand what you are trying to say about me, okay.

One of the things that most Negroes falls short in is extensively thinking. Being able to rationalize beyond a White ninth grader. When I express myself, I want to be understood.

Tell me what you think.
