How can we distinguish between black thought and white thought? What are the differences between the two kinds of thought?

As all of the African Diaspora and homeland has come under sway by 'white thought' through colonization and expatriation (trans-atlantic slave trade), I don't know that black/african folk have a sense of what is and what isn't black or white thought?

that is the problem. that is why i posed the question. it was to be a tool to allow us to distinguish between them and us. they are not us. they are not good for us. they don't really like us.

a first step toward un brainwashing yourself is feeling that they are foreign to your soul.

Exclamation We Can Take Care of Our Selves if We Chose To

Hotep

Enough is enough! Simply put...we can care for our selves but we must organize because some of us have a problem with using the word "Unity". We should know by now that so-called white Amerikkka does not want to live, care, socialize, be concerned in any way with Black people!

We must sooner than later learn that we have no choice except to take a good look at our own situation and have a out right "Negative" attitude twords the domestic policies let alone the policies that white Amerikkka always uses to take Black youth and others into "War" to make them selves "Richer" at our expense.

What do we have to gain by continuing to think we are going to ever get a so-called "Fare-Shake" from any one other than ourselves...that is, if there is a such a thing as fare. What ever that means..."We" never got any of it unless we have taken it for ourselves. They (white Amerikkka) have never changed...they have never removed the 3/5ths of a human clasificasion out of the Consitution of the United States that does not include any thing about treating the Africans in Amerikkka even as fully...humans!

How can we even think to have any thing other than a "Negative" view of things in this country that only brought us here to work for nothing anyway in the first place? "Still" they don't really want to pay any of us but do it because they only are tolerating just being around us and at the same time working secretly to eliminate more and more of us ever day.

But look at the real situation!...85% prison population are Black. Jobless, poverty, crime, genocide, racial profiling etc...is at a all time high. Who among us can be positive about any of this even if we have a so-called good job for our selves?

"None can rise above the condition of THE people"...just a few of us to use to "trick"...as examples to show the rest of us...see how good we are to you people?! Keep Hope Alive! We must organize to liberate our condition of "Life" as we see fit with or mostly with out others help. "This planet does not belong to them"!!
Know your Self
Ase`


Note: We should know that our collective time would be better spent to "Take" ourselves out of the hands and control of "Whites" than continuing to try to get them to except Blacks/Africans in Amerikkka.

No, they used that as their belief as they ripped us out of Africa and divided our land amongst themselves into their own spheres of influence. We could only do for ourselves in this regard and save ourselves with the sciences which they stole and call theirs, as well as learn to do for our own and solve our own problems

Moorifus, where did you get your prison numbers? The current stats carried by the Department of Prisons states that Blacks are 46% while whites are 52% of the prison population.
