Ask
them . . .
Ask
who?
Ask
them . . . any of them.
Ask
them what?
Ask
them if they know the meaning of:
“When
lions write history hunters will cease to be heroes.”
They
will say they do
but
they do not they cannot or else they would not
have
watched CNN presents Black in America
and
expected to see the lions’ stories.
Which
fill in the blank corporation was the sponsor or advertised
a
cause of your demise
in
the breaks between blaming and defaming you?
When
poor people’s choices are asserted as the primary cause of the
their
problems
then
you know it is a
Misleading
miseducating machination manipulating mental mindsets
and
yet
you
look to CNN to present your story?
Why
watch Roots when Sankofa is the Truth?
In
movies Alex Haley is no Haile Gerima
and
in
journalism Soledad is no Mumia.
Sure
Alex and Soledad receive more of the hunters money
but
that is not the proper measure of right best or correctness
hunters
always pay there scouts guides and servants.
So
Ask them . . . ask them if they know the meaning of:
“When
lions write history hunters will cease to be heroes.”
They
do not . . . they cannot
not
if they want to give credit for good intentions or CNN credit for
trying.
Credit
for trying what?
Black
America is the secondary target audience
it
is for whites that they are broadcasting ad nauseam
a
false picture of your plight
and
you want to thank them for trying
when
the mission was accomplished?
I’d
rather see you crying.
For
tears may heal your hurt heart that has hardened to the point
that
you inhale
the
theories and lessons well
of
the Chicago School of Economics
and
blame Blacks for pathology produced in all groups
living
in the U.S.A.
One
must be stoned to entertain
that
pathology is something innate in Blacks.
Perhaps
the problem is in the first grade
you
didn’t listen to your teacher
when
you were told to put on your thinking cap.
Strike
that – no put it back
the
first grade is a problem right through a terminal Harvard degree
a
better beneficial use of the broadcast beam would be
to
encourage all and only Black people to educate black children
that’s
revolutionary
in
independent CIBI schools
at
least then the next generation of lions will know
Advanced
levels of Reading Writing Arithmetic and the meaning of:
“When
lions write history hunters will cease to be heroes.”
