Apparently they have never been taught who it was who they were supposed to be pointing their guns and aggressions at.

They have not been taught when to fight and when to walk away; What to fight for in the first place. They are successfully used as pawns because of these reasons.

The question is, why aren't our warriors being taught any better?

With all of our technological adancements, our Blackfaces in high places and our 700 billion, we still approach our united problems or the attacks o the race on a proverbial level rather then a perrenial one.
The OVERSEER is a chess player.
We still are checker players,
by and large;
and have not yet learned to play chess,
and beat them at thier game;
since it is we, that is, our ancestors,
who taught them to play it!

Perhaps if we create an entirely NEW "game", we can eliminate the need to include them at all...our rules, our strategy and our survival above all.

Yeah we must change the game (chess anlogy) Every one wants to play the Queen (most powerful piece) but if every one wants to be the Queen who's going to be the pawns the rook the knights Basically WHO'S GOING TO BE OUT DOING THE WORK?

We all need to let loss a bit of our ego's for the better good of the people only then can we have unity and get something done. Otherwise, Our FUTURE'S ARE F***ED

My point was not the game of chess itself, bt the need to use a more analytical strategy, then just marching, that is why I made the comparison of chess and checkers.
In chess one wins by analyzing ones opponents methods and habits in order to put them in check.
Alotta times when one marches and protests little actually changes(Jena)
and in the case of police brutality, one winds up making overtime for the ones being protested.
