Glenn I have a couple of special projects in mind that I believe may be of some interest to you. Will be in touch with you in the very near future.

“Respect the Sacrifices of your Ancestors -”

“Don’t use the “N” word” (Public Service Announcement)

If such large amounts of money was made, dealers could’ve stopped dealing drugs altogether. It was tax-free money they could’ve used to starta legit business, hire ppl from their own neighborhood, and create a safe work environment. That’s what I meant.

@H. Lewis Smith…I noticed at the bottom of your article it says you’re the author of a book: Bury That Sucka: A Scandalous Love Affair W/ The N-Word

I’m gonna use the “scandalous love affair” part instead of the “passionate relationship” phrase. Your words are much more accurate.

Your point is well taken. And yes a case can be made with your following comment: “If we are referring to sub-human bestial savages, then we can apply the word to KKK members, skin-heads, neo-nazis, Islamic Jihadists, New Black Panthers, wife beaters, gang bangers, all racists(white, and others)”

The fundamental difference between your aforementioned groups and slaves who the terms were applied to is that for the slaves being looked upon as sub-human, bestial savages and 3/5 a human being opened the door for them to be terrorized, traumatized, and stigmatized. The twisted rationale being applied was that since the slaves were so classified and as a result called n**gers allowed the so-called Christians to figure that in the eyesight of God by their supposedly being sub-human it was okay to commit any atrocious acts upon the slaves as they so deemed fit and it would not be considered a sin.

Thus with reckless abandon, millions of slaves were hung, boiled and burned alive, disemboweled, castrated, brutally raped, mutilated (eyes knocked out, teeth yanked out, toes, ears & fingers cut off), beaten so severely that the flesh would be hanging from the open wounds where in some cases kerosene would be poured onto the open wounds, and these are just some of the lurid details.

There are justifiable reasons why the word n**ger/n**ga is the most profane and infamous word in the English language, and why that word should not flow from the lips of ANYONE, especially from the descendants.

There is a major difference in how the Jewish people handles the Jewish Holocaust as opposed to how Black/African-Americans handles the African Holocaust. The Jewish people sees to it that they do not forget and they make damn sure that the rest of the world doesn’t forget. They cherish the precious memories of their victimized ancestors.

Black America on the other hand is the exact opposite they do not cherish the struggles and sacrifices made by their ascendants, they want to pretend the African Holocaust never happened, all to willing to throw the memories of their ancestors underneath the bus, wanting to have nothing to do with what happened to their ancestors, instead preferring to embrace the very word that brought fear, terror, death and bloodshed into the hearts, minds and souls of their ascendants…the n-word.

Back to the Chinese and Koreans. Black ppl wonder how other ppl of different races had the ability to open up a business.

1.) Unity. 2.) Respect. 3.) Discipline. 4.) Resources. 5.) Customers.

Resources would also include money.

Who’s fault is it that black ppl aren’t as business-minded as the Chinese and Koreans?

When I see ex-drug dealers or other criminals come on national television and confess that during the 70’s-80’s they had or knew that X amount of millions of dollars was floating thru the ghetto at that time, I don’t understand why they consider themselves poor or going without this or that. Shouldn’t the community benefit from those millions?

It’s just like what Bill Cosby stated should’ve been said a very long time ago. I agree that selfish, ignorant, freeloading, and greedy black ppl are excess baggage. They weigh down any good prgress that decent black ppl try to accomplish.

I understand what you’re saying. I’ve heard it a million times. You say that “we” are the only race who’s spending a trillion dollars in other communities except ours. That’s b/c “we” really have no choice. If “we” had to wait for the black man or woman to open up a decent grocery store then “we” would starve to death. If “we” had to wait for black men to actually build affordable housing then “we” would be homeless. I could go on and on with that but I won’t. I also want to say that black women are just as much to blame. It’s not only the black man’s fault.

Those civil rights activists were wrong for leading black ppl into situations where they got sprayed w/ water hoses, bitten by dogs, and beaten w/ billy clubs. And placed in jail just to sit at a white diner. There were more black-owned establishments back then than there are now. What, those establishment weren’t good enough for blacks. Apparently not b/c the customers of those black businesses started spending their money in white-owned stores. Everybody knows that a business needs customers. Civil rights activist set up black ppl to be put thru the wringer. Blacks couldn’t even maintain whatever kind of business they owned b/c so-called leaders convinced the majority of black ppl that that white-anything was better than black-something. I see it as black ppl had abandoned whatever they had worked for for themselves. Ya know, that something they called their own.

For some years now, black ppl have been giving the Koreans, Chinese, and other nationalities a rough time. These ppl have stores in the black community, in strip malls, and what have you. They provide shelves of items we need for everyday use. Yet, a lot of black ppl will disrespect them for no reason. They’ll want something free or at a discount, they are told no, they scream racism. And the act of being polite doesn’t cross their minds. That’s jealousy.

YOU are the coolest….. May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face. And may the wings of destiny carry YOU aloft to dance with the stars.

I meant no disrespect about what you said, but as Brother Lewis said, definitions can be changed to suit the one who’s changing them. I totally agree with you when you say the white man is not the problem now. Unfortunately, we are the problem now. But as I’ve said many times before, we are also the solution. As I said in my book, he created our problems, but we’ve continued to pass them on. You say that slavery and racism are excuses, but the mental effects of slavery are still with us to this day. A perfect example is the use of the n-word, which is it’s origin, and the many other examples that still exist between our people, which keeps us divided. But the biggest example is spending a trillion dollars of our hard earned money in every community but our own.

No other group does this but us, when we need that money the most. The physical chains of slavery are a thing of the past, but the mental affects are still with us. We haven’t got a clue about the mental affects because very few people are talking about it. But what they’ve produced are the very people you talk about. As far as racism, it keeps us focused on being dependent rather than independent, which is another mental disorder that dates back to slavery. What we fail to realize, they need us we don’t need them. We’re the largest consumer base of buying other peoples products and services, and by doing this, we’re paying for everybody’s children to go to school, while our children struggle to go or get into big debt, we’re helping to pass down wealth to every community, while we pass down debt to ours.

These are all side affects of the slave mind. When you talk about the Black organizations of the past, they tried to help put us on a more positive path then we were on. They weren’t perfect, but what organization is. At least they tried to show us how to do for ourselves, instead of our so called leaders now always keeping us begging the government for the crumbs they continue to give us. Lastly, the definition of a man is simple to me. It’s a Man who practices what he preaches, does the right thing, even when it’s easier to follow in step with his peers, takes care of his family, and looks out for his community. Didn’t mean to be so long winded but you covered a lot and I wanted to give you as much information as I could.

Black Unity means financial independence and happiness

Language is arbitrary and I see how the use of n**ger based on your article is offensive. As well as it should be, especially, in the black community. But, if you’re basing it on what I quoted you, it carries weight.

If we are referring to sub-human bestial savages, then we can apply the word to KKK members, skin-heads, neo-nazis, Islamic Jihadists, New Black Panthers, wife beaters, gang bangers, all racists(white, and others) and anyone who takes advantage of government assistance programs white, latino, black and others.

By labeling all listed above, and those who are scum I forgot to mention, we can take the power from the word. I love this site. Nice open forum where we can bring all people together with open discussion people are afraid to talk about.
