Knowledge is Contagious

"Power is the ability to define reality and to have others respond as if that definition were their own." A professor of linguistics said this on a program I was watching today and it really impacted me. I was watching a documentary about the riots in Watts of the 60's and the 90's. This program related the two and talked the origins of them both, the connection, and the future since then. Pardon me while I have a philisophical moment but I was amazed. I love to feed my brain and this program really gave me some food for thought. There was a portion where they talked about the destruction of the Black Panthers by the government and how all these youth were left feeling militant and aroused now with no leadership. Suddenly we saw the emergence of gangs and street violence as a means to direct this frustration. It was amazing how they noted that the government could disintegrate an entire party nationally and couldnt monitor and abolish these two local gangs in their early emergence. There was actually a meeting where a local figure tried to call a peace treaty between the bloods and the crips. They were actually about to shake hands when just then LAPD planted a fight and broke up the meeting. QUESTION? Who had called the police? ANSWER: No one, they were waiting for a reason to break it up. REVELATION! They didn't want to end gang violence because it diverted the youth's attention from the fact that they were being ignored and it allowed for a suicide of the African-American Race.
Another insightful moment was when they talked about how the guns were imported into the inner cities. Many always think ok they just setup gun shops with little to no regulation. REVELATION #2! They were literally handing them out. They would have a random van sitting in the middle of the projects full of guns and ammunition and an hour later it would be empty and have vanished. Also the trains would stop on the tracks and have boxcars full of oozies and anything imaginable open for the taking. I found this to be amazing. If we can't see the plan to anihilate us then we need to WAKE UP! I think this program was awesome and is food for thought. If you're reading this let's spread the knowledge we have to all young people about how to challenge the plans for blacks in this country. Own that business, have that house and happy marriage, be financially prosperous, live the American dream that is really the "White American Dream" we must claim for ourselves. SUCCESS IS THE BEST REVENGE!
