Anh ah...wait. Stop.

Let me make it perfectly clear that you should not mistake what is said in the post.-To ALL BLACK YOUTH.

Ity does not matter where you are, where you were raised or brought up. That is the first big mistake we make, but just then you make a distinction between one of you 'here' and another of you 'there', and that is not unity, but division. That is not love of yourself , but bias against yourself, and that is what your oppressors have counted on you to do all this time-That is how they have taught you to think about one another, and you think that way because you cling to ideas and ideals and ideologies that have enothing to do with you. When you begin to open yourself up to more and more learning about yourself and your culture, your people and ultimately yourself, at some point, you will see through all those ways of thinking about yourself that are harmful-When I say, 'yourself', I mean, each and every one of US; Bootyprincess I thank you for your reply. I feel so good to know that I myself am not alone as well as you all do.

Again, I don't want you to think by this that what I am telling you is that you should be angry and hate white people-NO. What I am saying is that you must educate yourselves, one another, and ultimately everyone, no matter what ethnicity or race, about who we are as a people.YOu don't have to be angry or violent or protest-Just be who you kjnow you are and do your best to educate and learn. Don't make distinctions between yourselves.When you've listened to Malcolm in what he says you'll understand better, and later I will quote from one of his speeches on this point. I cannot at the moment as I am on a neighbors computer.

Nor does it mean that you should neglect to learn about other cultures and peoples as well. Knowing ou are important still does not cancel out everything and everyone else.

The more you know of who you are and your history, the better able you are to deal with any distractions or distortions, and also to educate others yourself.
