(ThyBlackMan.com) No, they do not. Apparently some black people simply do not know how to handle matters respectfully. At a recent political even for Bernie Sanders two ignorant, angry black women and one ignorant young black man stormed the stage, started yelling and attempted to take over the microphone. That is NOT how you handle things. That is how you get arrested. That does not represent mature African Americans and such behavior plays right into the hands of racists. And because the ignorance is spreading amongst our people, the bandwagon is full of fools.

Such ignorant and deplorable behavior is not activism, it is chaotic anarchy. I am ashamed of ignorant black who make it harder on all of us. As the son of parents who marched with King, the friend of people who knew Malcolm X and a long time activist all over this country, I have never said we should bow down to any man or badge. But I have always advocated ways that work instead of methods that are certain to fail. That’s just wisdom.
There are many intelligent African Americans who battle for justice every day. But then there are the
“niggers” – black people who act just like the oppressor expects them to, proving they are programmed slaves. Ironically, they think they are the real activists, when all the while they are falling into the trap and giving the racist a reason to stereotype us all. Don’t be a nigger nor a nigga. 
You don’t fight racism with ignorance. You don’t fight police brutality by giving them a foolish reason to lock you up. Battling from a jail cell while facing charges weakens your impact. And I have never seen anyone battle from the morgue. You don’t fight bigotry by proving exactly what they are saying about you is true. You don’t set a bad example then make excuses to justify it. When I make these arguments, ignorant black people (not mature, intelligent ones) try to say I don’t want to fight. Not true at all, I want to fight on every legal front but in ways we are likely to gain ground and win. As a whole, black people do not understand the art of war. You do not fight your adversary without a strategy. You do not fight your enemy when you are outmatched. There is another day, another time and a time to walk away – for now, just for now. There is a time and a season for all things and as a strategist, I tell people how to win.
Black people acting ignorant does not change police policies and procedures. Acting ignorant only gives the very people you may despise justification to make new policies, pass new laws and enact present laws all the way to martial law. Ignorant black people therefore actually help the oppressor meet his objectives. STOP FALLING INTO THE TRAP!
This does not mean you give up. This means you battle with wisdom, discretion and a plan where you have a chance of winning. Our battles must use everything legally possible and we have not yet exhausted those methods. Too many black people act as if all we have left to do is riot and act ignorant. No we should not tolerate cavity searches of our women at traffic stops like in Houston, police brutality anywhere, unarmed black people being shot down in the streets or worse. But ignorant actions and the lack of knowing how to battle will lead to more profiling, more tension and more unarmed black people being shot down. Don’t you see things escalating? Are you seeing how black people handling things the wrong way are contributing to the problem? Let’s wake up out of denial.
What ethnic group in this country has used ignorance with violence but achieved their goals?
Older and wiser people know what I am saying is true and I could care less about the negative comments of others who are ignorant, violent or foolish. This needs to be said and if we do not learn how to battle, we can expect to lose and lose big. Sandra Bland, Eric Garner, Samuel Dubose and Trayvon Martin did not know how to battle, when to battle and when not to. READ THE ART OF WAR and you will then understand.
Our battles must be launched politically, economically (boycotts worked), spiritually and sociologically (protests, rallies and marches – not riots that destroy our own communities). They must be strategic, selective and widespread. Our battles must utilize the mainstream media, social media and every legal, lawful outlet that can amplify or echo our call for justice. I do not agree with the homosexual community but the African American community can learn alot from their techniques, strategies and the spread of their ideology. The African American community can also learn alot from People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), an animal rights organization so powerful that they can shut down corporations.
Ignorant black people are setting the wrong examples, sending the wrong messages and taking the wrong approach. And instead of listening to the wisdom of what works, these ignorant black people insult me, counterfeit my name all over this website, misstate my points, devalue my solutions, direct their misguided anger towards me and those other wise people who agree with me and totally ignore that there is a way to fight, a time to fight and a place to fight for justice. Apparently ignorant black people do not want to listen to anybody who is not also ignorant or ready to cause destruction.
There are times when standing up for what you believe may place you in harm’s way and maybe even in jail. King went to jail. Mandela went to jail. Christ went to jail. Malcom X went to jail etc. And no I am not contradicting my earlier argument. I am saying that we have many other legal and lawful options that have not been exhausted. The options that I speak of should be used strategically and in a unified, collaborative effort before our people resort to measures that place themselves directly harm’s way. That is caring about our people. And for those of you who would go to jail unnecessarily or get killed unnecessarily when there are other ways to “fight the power”, you have only made it harder on yourself and your people. And there is a big difference between the activist and the angry, misguided anarchist.
I make no apologies for addressing this matter with the use of a verbal sledge hammer. That is what is needed. There are factions in the government just waiting for us to riot and we are neither unified enough nor equipped to take on what they have in store. I suggest you look up REX 84 or the King Alfred Plan and get a glimpse of what some official are just waiting for an excuse to launch. Our people must wake up, wise up and learn to use the legalities of the law to work for us. Until we do, we are simply working against ourselves and making it harder for all African Americans. And a house divided against itself cannot stand.
One more thing, there are ignorant black people online who have been counterfeiting my name and faking comments as if they came from me. They offer no solutions and simply spread anger and deception. They insult me and call me “coon” but ironically, they are doing exactly what the slave master expects of black people – offering nothing, denying the real problems and causing deception and division. Undoubtedly they will fake comments on this article as well, so be advised. If you read a comment that has my name on it but the comment is very different from the positions I take in this article, IT IS NOT FROM ME.
