Poverty Pimps and Black Suffering

WATTREE'S ACTUAL FACTUALS * ERIC L. WATTREE

Poverty Pimps and Black Suffering
.
Many Black people have bought into a philosophy that was introduced into our thinking by poverty pimps. They’ve convinced many Black people that we are impotent and can't do anything for ourselves. I know many people who suffer from that malady.
.
Poverty Pimps introduced that into our thinking so we would feel that we needed to hire them to the very lucrative job of Black Ambassador to the ‘White Man’ (the White establishment). That's been big business every since Martin and Malcolm died.
.
As Black people, we need to shake that conditioning and begin to understand that we don’t need one voice speaking for millions, we need millions speaking with one voice; and we don’t need one brain thinking for millions, we need millions of brains thinking in concert. We also need to RE-LEARN that the only thing we need from the White man is for him to stay the hell out of our way.
.
Yes, we want our piece of America's pie, but whinin' ain't the way to get it. The only way that we're EVER going to obtain justice, dignity, and all of the other things that we are due in this world, is to become strong enough to demand it, and competent enough to hold on to it. The Black community will NEVER be fully viable, until we embrace that clear and simple reality.
.
So we need to stop talking about what we CAN'T do, and start thinking about what we CAN do - and we can do any damn thing we put our minds to.

Religious bigotry: It's not that I hate everyone who doesn't look, think, and act like me - it's just that God does.
