There has never been a better time in recent history to finally do something. This morning, millions are waking up to what could be the United States of the KKK as Donald Trump defied polls and swiped the Presidency from Hilary Clinton.
Now, Hilary Clinton wouldn’t exactly be amazing for the black community but this Trump mess is unthinkable. This is a man who wants to build a wall with Mexico, incitis violence, refers to black supporters as “My African American” (Yes, that sounds like plantation language!) and encourages grabbing women by the pussy!
And this man is now the puppet representing the country.
Basically, it’s absolutely clear, the black community won’t get a damn thing from this guy. Infact he is more likely to be taking away some freedoms, some advancements and some liberties.
Waiting around for a better day is no longer an option, the Obama smokescreen has been cleared and the landscape before us all is hazier and bleaker than most of us cared to believe it would be.
There really is only one option to this. Mass protests won’t change a thing, in my opinion, it will just end up in more lives lost.
Jumping to Twitter and complaining will do sweet FA!
The black community needs to organise, get together and talk, co-operate and build self sufficiency.
Here are just a few things I think are needed.
Self education – READ, READ, READ, TALK, SHARE and know your history, black and white, local and world! Know your business, know your governing structures.
Self sustenance – gardens, learning to make products, rotating money in black neigborhoods.
Establish community and direct local democracy – Basically consensus and group decisions, people taking care to vote for each other, to debate and talk, this is how black communities need to make decisions.
What do you think needs to be done?
