Why Are We Still Allowing The Enemy To Teach Our Children?


Malcolm said that only a fool would let his enemy teach his children, and why do we continue to allow this? For us to continue this menticide means that, somehow, we do not view the public education system as our enemy.

If you're still not convinced of what our brother said, may I suggest that you take time to read Race and Education: The Roles Of History In Educating African American Students by William H. Watkins, James H. Lewis & Victoria Chou and The Conspiracy Of Ignorance by Martin L. Gross




Our great ancestor, Amos Wilson asked us:"How different would our education be if we went to school to learn to create jobs for ourselves?" Surely, we've pondered that and came to a common sense conclusion that it would much different than what our children are receiving today.



Amos Wilson taught that must take the power away from the Europeans when it comes to teaching our children. We must
redefine it and restructure it to suit the needs of African people.

Interesting quote from Julian Bond;




We should be grateful and supportive of people such as Geoffrey Canada, who became fed up with the disastrous public school system. So much so that he founded his own charter school called Harlem Children's Zone.



Is it a perfect cure-all? No. Has it not been met with some obstacles and controversy? Yes. However, it had still proven to be a step forward in this very difficult battle of properly educating the Black child.



Geoffrey Canada discusses, in grave details, the many perils of our public school system in a profound documentary titled 'Waiting for Superman'. Check it out.

Ficticious Leaders Umar Johnson

When one places them self in a position of leadership, they must be able to implement and follow a code of conduct. I ask, what code of conduct has Umar Johnson created, and implemented (let alone followed)? None! Okay, now let’s continue. Many Black men, in leadership roles, have not mastered this extremely essential skill. The biggest problem with so many of our “Black leaders” is that they, themselves, for hundreds of years, have not been allowed to be men, under European rule. Because of this suppression, a huge number of Black men feel a need to constantly prove themselves as being a man. This crucial need to prove oneself as a man has created much competition, misplaced aggression, and mistreatment, not only towards one another, but also towards Black women. Whenever a Black man achieves enough level of success that will allow him to behave in an arrogant manner, he will predictably exhibit a larger than life ego and his arrogance will thrive. But guess who will suff

The Burning Hut

Image
The only survivor of a shipwreck washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stung with grief and anger. "God, how could you do this to me!" he cried. Early the next day, however, he was wakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
