How The "We Need To Build And Support Black Owned Businesses" Meme Is Undercut By The Consumerized Consciousness That The Black Racial Services Machine Promotes

I get it.
I listen to "you all" all of the time.   Radio.  Television.  Opinion articles.  The web.
Who is "you all"?

The elements of the "Black Racial Services Machine" that are constantly plotting out the trajectory of the salvation of the Black community.

Yesterday the local "Black-wing Talk Radio Station" had an episode specifically focused on "FUBU":

  • Having a sufficient quantity Black Owned Businesses for people to go to in the first place
  • Mentoring small Black owned businesses to make strategic business and management decisions that will allow them not only to endure but to expand - remaining in line with their customer's demands, being an attractive and competitive alternative to the retail line up that is available within the Black community today.
  • Finally working on the conscious outlook of THE BLACK CONSUMER.  With the gap between the alternative retail (or service) outlets sufficiently closed - it is their CONSCIOUSNESS that provides the "Faith" which spans this gap.  They understand that any small sacrifice today will provide the means for a better tomorrow.
A tomorrow where the desired Economic Independence and/or Leverage is contained in the natural conduct and flow of commercial and consumer behavior WITHIN the Black community.

For those of you who are given to misunderstand my taunts as "hateration" - motivated by nothing more than "ideological resentment" - please understand that I AGREE with the majority of what was said.

My issue is when you look at the aggregate messages that are propagated by this same "master mind" group.

Indeed the names of the "Civil Rights Pharisee" preachers that are constantly on local television were heavily represented in this same discussion as their "business development efforts" into the Black community were announced.

The point that they fail to tie into is the fact that they also are guilty of propagating the "Consumer Mentality" that the presently infects the Black community that other people profit from.

We often hear how during "Segregation" we were all forced to live in one concentrated area and the "glass ceiling" compacted the "class distinctions" among Black people artificially.  Today this external force of compaction is functionally gone.  In its absence the Black consumer has abundant choices of where to invest.  Only a prioritized mental notion will cause this consumer to drive past where he is NOW WELCOMED and chose to invest as part of a larger effort, beyond his marginal individual interests.

Ironically - this same group that has successfully promoted "Racism Chasing" as the means de-constructive means of distorting Black people's native support of our "Permanent Interests" (ie: by disposing of "failed policies" and the individuals who sold them to us regardless of their ideology but sold as "racial unity") are now faced with doing the same but for CONSTRUCTIVE ends.   

I believe that they fully understand that placing Black people into a 'racially defensive' posture as they "Invest In Our Fears" is far, far more difficult than compelling the Black community to proactively invest for the future.

Likewise, those who have placed our people in a TRANSACTIONAL consciousness has us "congregationally agreeing" to not recall the promises that were made to compel our investments in the past as we are convinced that the NEXT THREAT that is in front of us is both for "defense against a racial attack" and provides OPPORTUNITY for the prevailing ideology.

Their challenge is to flip all of this on its head - IF they want to obtain their longitudinal goal of economic self-sufficiency.   The proceeds that are built up in the store house today provide a cushion for that migration in the future.

The real threat that Black America faces today, in aggregate, is the future insolvency of this $15,000,000,000,000 debtor nation.   You need not shun capitalism for ideological purposes.  You are one now based on this hearty some which affords you your present standard of living. The cocoon within which you are encased, protected from the global elements.

As the nations that we have been conditioned to call "Third World" continue to ramp up their own ORGANIC COMPETENCIES - the "peace dividends" of good governance, educational investments and domestic production will increasingly leave the United States with the task of having to service its own expanding debt bubble.  At some point it will not be IDEOLOGICAL differences which trigger the cuts in redistributive public policy.  The dry river bed will define the resources that are available.

If you are going to "scare Black people into doing something YOU want them to" why not redeploy your system of propaganda that produces a "domestic community-level" set of benefits?  

.The "Organic Competency Development Movement's" message must be:  "We MUST Invest Our Money Here As The Necessary Pretext Of Creating Jobs And Economic Prosperity For Our People".

The "Christian Preachers" that have the attention of the people are at fault here.  They had the opportunity to turn the anger and resentment of our people's treatment into an "organic resolve" to affirm our dignity and then our EQUALITY.   The "least of these message" which is indeed found in the Christian dogma has grown far beyond its original purpose.  "The Least Of These" is ONLY EVER a message to the "Non-Least Of These" - asking them to express their Christian charity to some other soul.  In our world of politics it has been hijacked to compel "Caesar" to alter his policies so the church folks can affirm themselves as having voted to compel someone else to fill up "the offering plate", the IRS as the "ushers".  They then stand up on April 16th right as the Post Office closes and bless the offering.

But What Is Your Message To "The Least Of These"?

These People In The Video Ain't Trying To Hear Anything About A Strategic Plan Of The Future. In Their Present Desperation They Need To Find Sufficient Shelter. THE QUESTION FOR YOU Is "Will Tomorrow Be A Net Decrease In Their Desperation After They Loyally Followed YOUR 'Development Plan'? OR Do You Understand That In This State They Are Open To Purchase What You Sell Them In The Way Of More Promises?

If YOU owned the "Water Company" that was owed nearly $60,000 could YOU retain a business in which the "Social Justice Advocates" constantly demanded that YOU show "human compassion" by forgiving the bill while THEY took credit as being "Close To Jesus" while failing to show that "The Least Of These" who were made in "God's Form" were meant to be more prosperous?   
As you would have it IF someone suggested that they arm themselves with shovels and FIND THE LEAKY WATER PIPE that is running up the water bill - YOU would lead the protest against such an offensive statement as your "honor" was defended by the suggestion.


I hope that we are coming to the end of the notion that we are going to VOTE OUR WAY INTO SALVATION.  Only the weak and cowardly among us are going to feign going against the establishment powers that sold us this message that defines our present stagnation.

The only rational course of action is to work within "The Rank & File", compelling them that their investments of the one thing they have permanent control over is the only thing that matters - "The Community Development Consciousness".   With this they must be compelled to carefully guard these funds - insuring that they grow as promised - or they choose a new "investment adviser",even if it including asking the "bishop" to send them a new preacher.
