#BlackUnity

[renegadeurbanmediasource]

In a memo dated March 4, 1968, the FBI outlined its goals regarding Black nationalist groups, explicitly stating the need to prevent the rise of a leader who could unify and electrify the Black nationalist movement. The exact words were:

"Prevent the rise of a 'messiah' who could unify and electrify the militant black nationalist movement. Malcolm X might have been such a 'messiah'; he is the martyr of the movement today. Martin Luther King, Stokely Carmichael, and Elijah Muhammad all aspire to this position."

Why Black People Are Not a Serious People: A Garveyite Perspective

Introduction: The Crisis of Black Priorities

Marcus Garvey believed that Black people must take their destiny into their own hands to achieve true liberation. He famously stated:

“If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life.”

Yet today, Black communities around the world remain politically weak, economically dependent, and socially disorganized. Despite having the talent, numbers, and resources to be a dominant global force, Black people:

Prioritize entertainment over education.

Focus on social integration rather than self-determination.

Spend wealth on consumer goods instead of wealth-building assets.

React emotionally to oppression rather than plan strategically for power.

From a Garveyite perspective, this lack of seriousness is not just an accident—it is the result of centuries of mental conditioning, systemic sabotage, and poor leadership. Until Black people take their future as seriously as other racial groups do, they will continue to be at the bottom of the global power structure.

1. Lack of Long-Term Vision and Strategic Thinking

A. Failure to Build Multi-Generational Wealth & Power

Black people often focus on short-term survival rather than long-term economic independence.

Other groups—Jews, Chinese, Indians—prioritize generational wealth, business ownership, and financial education, while Black people largely remain consumers.

Instead of buying land, businesses, and industries, Black communities spend billions on fashion, entertainment, and temporary luxuries.

If Black people were serious, they would invest in economic infrastructure rather than fueling white-owned corporations.

B. Emotional Reactions vs. Strategic Action

Black people often react to oppression with anger, protests, and hashtags rather than economic and political strategy.

Instead of organizing systematic boycotts, building independent political movements, or funding Pan-African initiatives, Black people wait for white approval and corporate sympathy.

Other groups use political lobbies, financial power, and institutional control to influence policies—Black people rely on moral arguments and symbolic victories.

Serious people understand that power is taken, not begged for.

2. Prioritization of Entertainment Over Education

A. Worship of Athletes & Entertainers Over Intellectuals & Business Leaders

Black people idolize rappers, athletes, and comedians while ignoring scientists, engineers, and economists.

Young Black children aspire to be entertainers rather than business owners or industrialists.

When entertainers do speak on serious issues, they are often uninformed and controlled by corporate sponsors.

If Black people were serious, they would celebrate intellectuals, inventors, and nation-builders as much as they do celebrities.

B. Disregard for Intellectual Development & Self-Improvement

Reading, studying, and research are not prioritized in many Black communities.

Schools in Black neighbourhoods are chronically underfunded, yet there is little organized effort to build independent schools.

Instead of spending time learning wealth strategies, global economics, or political science, Black people spend countless hours on gossip, social media debates, and entertainment.

Serious people master knowledge, control education, and build institutions.

3. Economic Irresponsibility & Consumer Mentality

A. Black Dollars Do Not Circulate in Black Communities

Black buying power exceeds $1.7 trillion in the U.S. alone, yet less than 5% of that money stays in Black businesses.

Many Black businesses struggle because Black people would rather shop at white-owned luxury brands than support their own.

Other groups—Asians, Jews, Arabs—spend money within their own communities before going outside.

If Black people were serious, they would circulate wealth among themselves rather than enriching other races.

B. Focus on Materialism Instead of Wealth-Building

Black people spend billions on designer clothing, jewellery, and foreign-owned liquor brands but fail to invest in stocks, real estate, or technology.

The hip-hop culture promotes flashy spending rather than financial discipline.

Many Black people believe that “looking rich” is more important than actually being rich.

Serious people build financial power before displaying wealth.

4. Political Naivety & Dependency on White Validation

A. Waiting for White Approval Instead of Building Independent Power

Black people rely on white politicians, celebrities, and corporations to fix their problems instead of organizing their own solutions.

Many believe that voting alone will solve oppression, despite history showing that political independence requires economic and institutional backing.

Black people celebrate token representation (Black faces in white spaces) rather than demanding systemic change.

If Black people were serious, they would fund their own political movements and demand real power, not just symbolic inclusion.

B. Divided by Ideology Instead of United by Common Interests

Black people remain divided by religion, nationality, skin tone, and political affiliations, while other races unite around shared interests.

African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, and Africans often fail to collaborate for collective progress.

The media encourages gender wars, generational conflicts, and social divisions that prevent Black people from forming a united front.

Serious people put their differences aside and work toward collective empowerment.

5. Cultural and Spiritual Disconnection from African Roots

A. Worship of White Religious Imagery & Submission to Foreign Beliefs

Many Black churches still display white Jesus, reinforcing subconscious racial inferiority.

Black Muslims often prioritize Arab culture over African identity.

Traditional African spiritual systems, which empowered revolutions like the Haitian Revolution, are demonized as "pagan" or "evil."

Serious people embrace their own cultural and spiritual heritage, not that of their oppressors.

B. Lack of Pan-African Unity & Cooperation

Instead of building economic and political alliances between Africa and the diaspora, Black people remain disconnected.

Many Africans look down on Black Americans, while many Black Americans see Africa as irrelevant.

Other racial groups—such as the Chinese and Indians—build global economic networks, while Black people remain scattered and isolated.

Serious people unite globally and control their own destiny.

The Garveyite Solution: How Black People Can Become a Serious Race

1. Develop Long-Term Vision & Strategy

Shift from short-term gratification to long-term wealth-building.

Build institutions that will last generations.

Teach children about business, politics, and global strategy.

2. Prioritize Education & Intellectual Development

Fund independent Black schools and universities.

Encourage STEM fields, economics, and entrepreneurship.

Read, study, and master global power structures.

3. Control Black Wealth & Economic Power

Stop unnecessary spending on non-Black businesses.

Invest in land, technology, and industrial production.

Establish global trade networks between Africa and the diaspora.

4. Build Independent Political & Military Power

Create Black-funded political parties and candidates.

Support Pan-African leadership over Western-backed politicians.

Establish Black-controlled security forces to protect Black communities.

5. Reconnect with African Culture & Spirituality

Reject white supremacist religious imagery.

Restore African-centered faith systems that promote self-reliance.

Strengthen cultural pride and identity.

Conclusion: It’s Time to Get Serious or Stay Enslaved

Garvey warned us that Black liberation requires discipline, organization, and self-reliance. If Black people continue to:

Ignore financial responsibility.

Prioritize entertainment over education.

Wait for white approval.

Remain divided.

They will stay at the bottom of the global hierarchy.

However, if Black people get serious about their future, reclaim their wealth, and unite globally, they will achieve true power.

Garvey’s call remains: “Up, you mighty race, accomplish what you will!”

My meditation in the morning is what can I do today to be of service to Africans. My meditation in the evening is what I did today to be of service to Africans. White supremacy ends with me.
