What do White people do that Black people don't? What do Black people constantly ignore? Has anything actually changed? Black people are not "Black and Proud?" Are Black people really lousy at business? Black people are really scared of revolution? Once a nigger, always a nigger?
Let's recap.
1. "Elite," politically powerful and affluent White people, primarily White men, did and do this.
Multi-Media White Owned and Controlled
The Walt Disney Company is an American diversified multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios complex in Burbank, California. The company established itself as a leader in the American animation industry before diversifying into live-action film production, television, and theme parks. Disney is organized into three main segments: Disney Entertainment which includes the company's film and TV assets as well as streaming; ESPN (including ESPN+); and Disney Experiences. DISNEY owns all of this and much, much more: The Walt Disney Studios iWalt Disney Pictures Walt Disney Animation Studios Pixar Marvel Comics Marvel Studios Lucasfilm 20th Century Studios Searchlight Pictures Blue Sky Studios Disney Media Networks Buena Vista Disney Music Disney Parks (Disneyland, DisneyWorld, etc.) Walt Disney Direct-to-Consumer Disney International (Africa, Asia, Europe, India, Middle East, Latin America, etc.) ABC Television ABC Owned Television Stations 20th Television Freeform Hulu Disney+ Channel FX Networks National Geographic Network National Geographic Magazine A&E Networks (50% Joint venture with Hearst Corporation) ESPN (80% ownership; 20% owned by Heart Corporation) Disney Store Core Publishing Disney Cruise Line Disney Venture Capital Number of employees: 225,000 FY23 Revenue: US $89 billion FY23 Total Assets: US $206 billion	AT&T Inc. is an American multinational conglomerate holding company headquartered at Whitacre Tower in Downtown Dallas, Texas. It is the world's 4th-largest telecommunications company by revenue and the largest wireless carrier in the United States. Products include: Satellite television; Fixed-line telephones; Mobile telephones; and Internet services. AT&T also owns DirecTV (70% ownership; 30% owned by TPG, Inc.). In 2022, AT&T withdrew its equity stake in WarnerMedia and merged it with Discovery, Inc. to create Warner Bros. Discovery, divesting itself of its media arm. In 1984, the original AT&T (“Ma Bell”) was broken up because of its monopoly power over America’s telecommunications services and critical infrastructure. Known as “Divestiture”, the company controlled most of America’s wireline services as well as “long distance”, (calls that cross state lines). Nevertheless, "The Band is back Together," as the current AT&T reconstitutes most of the former Bell System, and includes four of the seven "Baby Bells" along with the original AT&T Corp., including the long-distance division.

Plus, keep in mind, throughout the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, White-owned and controlled mainstream media literally "banned" minorities from their advertising and program content; and even during and after the 1970s images of and content involving people of color was excluded from White-owned and controlled advertising content and reporting. The "standard of beauty," as iconically represented by Marilyn Monroe's blonde hair and blue eyes was determined by White-owned and controlled media - period. Today, due to changing racial demographics (as validated by the law of large numbers, and the Thucydides Trap), when the "minority population" evolves to become the "majority population" change is inevitable, and can no longer be easily ignored. Consequently, more "token" people of color are routinely included in content for both advertising and programming, but "ownership" remains in the control of "elite," politically powerful and affluent White people, primarily White men, and frequently Jewish men. Neal Gabler's book, "An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood," details how Harry Cohn, William Fox, Carl Laemmle, Louis B. Mayer, Jack and Harry Warner, and Adolph Zucker created Hollywood, and how even to this day, their assessment of "American values" greatly influenced or dictated social policy and politics. In "Hollywood" ultimate control has been and continues to be primarily dictated by White Jewish men. As published in the LA Times article, How deeply Jewish is Hollywood? C'mon - "When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish). If either of the (Jewish) Weinstein brothers had signed, this group would have not only the power to shut down all film production but to form a minyan with enough Fiji water on hand to fill a mikvah."

As displayed in the following graphic, which also applies to Paramount Global, Comcast, TimeWarner Discovery, this is how White folks do business:
Additionally, non-multimedia conglomerates include Boeing, General Electric, Sony, General Motors, Panasonic, etc.
Conversely, this is how Black folks do business:
Black Owned & Controlled Multimedia Conglomerate On White-owned and controlled media, Black people do not control the "look and feel" or the "narrative" of what it means to be Black. Just ask Denzel Washington     On White-owned and controlled media, Black people do not control the "look and feel" or the "narrative" of what it means to be Black. Just ask Dave Chappelle None! None! None!
QUESTION: If you don't own and/or control the print, photo, audio, and video images of yourself and your race how can you possibly control the character, scope, and accuracy of the "narrative" of what you say, and what people say about you? ANSWER: You don't.

Getty gives $30M to digitize Black life photo archive Although hosted by Black folks (DJ Envy, Charlamagne tha God and Jess Hilarious), White-owned and controlled iHeartMedia, Inc. does not broadcast The Breakfast Club to make money for Black people, or to promote an exclusive "pro-Black" agenda, but to make money to sustain White-ownership and control. Likewise, White-owned and controlled iHeartMedia, Inc. did NOT recently create its "Black Information Network" to make money for Black people. The newly established philanthropic business model for White-owned and controlled States Newsroom was not created to focus on the socio-economic status of Black people, but to focus solely on the "generic" status of state politics and policy, which was abandoned due to severe staffing cuts and business closures by traditional mainstream newspapers and broadcast media.
Ultimately, everything Black people say or do is controlled by "elite," politically powerful and affluent White people who control their Negroes!
2. Black people ignore multi-generational declarations for Black economic independence.
1852
You profess to believe “that, of one blood, God made all nations of men to dwell on the face of all the earth,” and hath commanded all men, everywhere to love one another; yet you notoriously hate, (and glory in your hatred), all men whose skins are not colored like your own. The existence of slavery in this country brands your republicanism as a sham, your humanity as a base pretence, and your Christianity as a lie.

"We have the power of numbers, the power of organization, and the power of spirit. Let me explain what I mean.

I don’t know if White Christians hate Negroes or not, but I know that we have a Christian church that is White, and we have a Christian church that is Black. I know as Malcolm X once put it, “It’s the most segregated hour in America life is high noon on Sunday!” It says a great deal to me about a Christian nation. It means I can’t afford to trust most White Christians, and I certainly can’t afford to trust the Christian church. I don’t know whether the labor unions and their bosses really hate me, that doesn’t matter, but I know I’m not in their unions. I don’t know if the real estate lobbyists have anything against Black people, but I know the real estate lobbyist keep me in the ghetto. I don’t know if the Board of Education hates Black people, but I know the text books they give my children to read, and the schools we have to go to. Now, this is the evidence. You want me to make an act of faith, risking myself, my wife, my woman, my sister, my children on some . . . idealism, which you assure me exists in America which I have never seen.”

Don’t ever confuse “Leading Blacks” with “Black Leaders!” Let me tell you why you don’t do that. One of the reasons you don’t confuse them . . . “Black Leaders” are chosen by YOU! They’re chosen by the people they are going to lead. They’re chosen by US; but let me tell you about the “Leading Blacks.” The “Leading Blacks” are chosen by the media. "Leading Blacks" are chose by ABC . . . “All Broadcasting Caucasians.” “Leading Blacks” are also chosen by NBC . . . “Nothing broadcasting But Caucasians.” And the rest are chosen by CBS . . . the “Caucasian Broadcasting System.”   Dr. Julia Hare at the "State of the Black America" in 2007

Source: http://blackdemographics.com/population/ It is estimated that of the 10-12 million Africans brought to the new world as slaves, approximately 500,000-700,000 of them came to the United States. This was only about 4.4%-5.4% of all who were shipped to the Americas. The majority, about 35% were sent to Brazil and the remainder to other South American and Caribbean colonies. The largest ports of entry for American slaves were Baltimore, Savannah, Charleston and New Orleans. According to the first United States census count 92% of the 757,208 African Americans were slaves. The last census count during slavery in 1860 counted 4,441,830 African Americans of which 89% were slaves. By the turn of the century (1900) the Black population grew to more than 8 million and more than doubled every 50 year period since reaching 42 million by 2010.

Despite the existence of Affirmative Action off-and-on in one form or another for 160 years, nevertheless, public sector EEO-4 demographics and private sector EEO-1 demographics have not significantly changed, and DEI programs, frequently launched in response to an erroneous application of "White Guilt," have primarily functioned as a fad, and currently are being abandoned or reduced throughout public and private sector employers: (November 4, 2008) (as lead by Ward Connerly and his visit to UNO) White people, who perpetually exist as the the overwhelming majority population in Nebraska, passed ballot Initiative 424, which eliminated the application of Affirmative Action for all state, county, and local government jobs in Nebraska, including public sector education at UNO, UNL, etc. So, it's ridiculous to expect educational institutions to hire minority staff and increase enrollment of minority students.

Nothing changes the status quo of "White flight" from "people of color."
The average White person in metropolitan American lives in a neighborhood that is 75% white. Despite a substantial shift of minorities from cities to suburbs, minorities have often not gained access to largely white neighborhoods. For example a typical Black person lives in a neighborhood that is only 35% white (not much different from 1940) and as much as 45% black. Diversity is experienced very differently in the daily lives of Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians. In 367 metropolitan areas across the U.S., the typical White person lives in a neighborhood that is 75% White, 8% Black, 11% Hispanic, and 5% Asian. This represents a notable change since 1980, when the average Whites’ neighborhood was 88% white, but it is very different from the makeup of the metropolis as a whole. The experience of minorities is very different. For example, the typical Black lives in a neighborhood that is 45% Black, 35% White, 15% Hispanic, and 4% Asian. The typical Hispanic lives in a neighborhood that is 46% Hispanic, 35% White, 11% Black and 7% Asian. The typical Asian lives in a neighborhood that is 22% Asian, 49% White, 9% Black, and 19% Hispanic. As documented by Brookings and Gallup in their 2018 report, "The Devaluation of Assets in Black Neighborhoods," in U.S. metropolitan areas, 10 percent of neighborhoods are majority Black, and they are home to 41 percent of the Black population living in metropolitan areas and 37 percent of the U.S. Black population. Property valuations and appraisals are overwhelmingly defined by White-controlled political, public, and commercial entities, and throughout the U.S., homes in neighborhoods where the share of the population is 50 percent Black are valued at roughly half the price as homes in neighborhoods with no Black residents. Metropolitan areas with greater devaluation of Black neighborhoods are more segregated (like Omaha, St. Louis, etc.) and produce less upward mobility for the Black children who grow up in those communities. QUESTION: CAN'T WE ALL LIVE TOGETHER? RESPONSE: BASE ON HISTORICAL FACTS, ONGOING VALIDATION OF PERPETUAL AND PRESENT SEGREGATION, AND ALL RELEVANT PROJECTIONS, IF WHITE PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED, ABSOLUTELY NOT.   As America becomes more and more racially diverse, Rich Benjamin noticed a phenomenon: Some communities were actually getting less multicultural. So he got out a map, found the whitest towns in the USA -- and moved in.

Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), originally formed in 1969, is a group of Black members of the United States Congress. Given that the wage and income gap between Black and White people existed before, during, and after President Obama's two-(2) terms as President of the United States, without a doubt, the CBC hasn't done a damn thing to improve the socio-economic status for the overwhelming majority of Black people. They never make any noise. Whether Democrat or Republican, at all levels (local, county, state, and federal), the perpetual failure of all Black elected officials to improve the socio-economic status of Black people is validated here.
Because statistically, the Black race is a dead race, and it's not going to change . . .
Given the perpetual demise of the Black male image, in 2002 this writer wrote, "HOW BLACK WOMEN ARE KILLING THE BLACK RACE...WITH THEIR HAIR (And Why Black Men Can’t Do A Damn Thing About It); BLACK AIN’T BEAUTIFUL!, and THE BAB REPORT," and asked: Can Black people turn the tide of “Gloom and Doom” and revitalize their race or should Black people roll with the punches and resign to a point in time when the cliché “all good things must end” becomes a reality? Here’s a good point to introduce another equation, one for determining the rate of extinction for a given population. FACT: The higher the degree of education and GDP per capita of a human population, subpopulation or social stratum, the fewer children are born in any industrialized country. Statistically, a replacement rate of 2.100 is necessary to "replinish" a racial/ethnic group. As reported by the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD), the United States of America has rarely (i.e., only twice) met this standard over the past thirty-three-(33) years (below): YEAR Total Fertility Rate (TFR) 1990 2.08 1991 2.06 1992 2.05 1993 2.02 1994 2.00 1995 1.98 1996 1.98 1997 1.97 1998 2.00 1999 2.01 2000 2.06 2001 2.03 2002 2.01 2003 2.04 2004 2.05 2005 2.06 2006 2.11 2007 2.12 2008 2.07 2009 2.00 2010 1.93 2011 1.89 2012 1.88 2013 1.86 2014 1.86 2015 1.84 2016 1.82 2017 1.77 2018 1.73 2019 1.71 2020 1.64 2021 1.66 2022   Average 1.95       The following equation represents the stochastic extinction model that predicts species extinction rates that depend on the distribution of species and rates of habitat conversion:         where E = number of extinct species; a = total number of species that occurs in the area being considered; bn = endemics (prevalent in or peculiar to a particular locality, region, or people) known to exist in multiple sites [a.k.a., the “distribution profile”]; C = land conversion factor (can either be the total proportion of land converted or a conversion rate per unit time); and y = maximum number of categories considered       Instead of applying this equation to floral and other species, why not adapt it to predict the evolution of the Black population? To do so, we need two important pieces of information: Question 1: Do we know the total number of species (distribution of species) that occurs in the area (The United States of America) being considered? Answer: Yes! This information is already available through the U.S. Census Bureau! In 1910, 90 percent of Blacks lived in the South. By 1940, Black migration to other parts of the U.S. reduced the percent of Blacks living in the South to 77 percent. By 1980, the percent of Blacks living in the South was reduced to 53 percent. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, 54 percent of the Black population lived in the South, 19 percent lived in the Midwest, 18 percent lived in the Northeast, and 10 percent lived in the West. In 2000, the ten largest places (cities) in total Black population were: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, Dallas, San Antonio, Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Washington, DC, and New Orleans; and Question 2: Do we know the rate of conversion (loss or gain) in total habitat (rates of habitat conversion)? Answer: Kinda! Before anyone, especially the U.S. Census Bureau, can determine total habitat conversion (loss or gain in population) the following problems must be eliminated from the current data collection methodology: 1. Base data from April 1, 1990 through January 1, 1999 cannot be used; 2. Projections must include the FACT that beginning with the 2000 census, U.S. citizens have the option of marking one or more of 14 boxes representing six races and subcategories or “some other race” for as many as 63 racial combinations [systems must first be established to measure expanded racial diversity before enabling]; 3. The prevailing methodology cannot categorize any racial “mixture” containing “Black” as “Black” because, well, it’s RACIST. The “once a nigger...always always a nigger,” and “any part of nigger makes you a nigger” racist methodology isn’t applied universally by the U.S. government. What is the joining of a Asian and Native American? Once a chink, always a chink? Or, once a savage redskin, always a savage redskin? Even the U.S. Food and Drug administration recognizes that after Dole mixes orange juice, with bananas, and pineapples it’s no longer orange juice, and it’s not banana juice, and it’s not pineapple juice and, most importantly, Dole can’t market and sell its combo drink as orange juice because IT AIN’T ORANGE JUICE; and 4. The discrepancy between how data is collected and reported must be corrected. So, yes, in the absence of any changes to the above “Gloom and Doom” or other contributing factors, it’s possible to actually project either the extinction or near extinction of the Black race. The Black fertility rate is dropping, miscegenation can’t be ignored, and the African “feeder” group is dying-off in great numbers due to disease, starvation, war, etc. Plus, as well-documented by the perpetually high incarceration, death rate, and "disappearance" of Black men, there's considerably less interest by White-owned and controlled law enforcement, judiciary, and mainstream White-owned and controlled media to prioritize the welfare of Black people.         In 2018, the Total Fertility Rate for the entire U.S. was only 1.765.5 - and the TFR for White people was only 1.640, which is the next to the lowest racial group TFR in the U.S. of Asians at 1.525. Like it or not, as White people become more "affluent" they have less children. The intentional genocide of Native Americans prohibits their consideration as a "fruitful" source. Equally important, as well-documented in the impeccably researched, “MAAFA 21: Black Genocide in 21st Century America 2nd Edition (2011), the intentional bias against Black people, and Black men in particular, is not ancient history, as the TFR for Black people has consistently declined since the end of slavery, coupled with more Black children being aborted (38.4%) than any other ethic group, and the perpetual decline of the traditional Black family unit from 1620 to Present: 250 years of slavery, 90 years of Jim Crow (lynching, racism, discrimination, incarceration, etc.), 60 years of separate but equal, 35 years of state-sanctioned red-lining. Therefore, to be "competitive" with the demographic changes in TFR worldwide, the United State of America must "replinish" its population from "fruitful" and logistically available external sources. Over the past 33 years, Canada's TFR average is 1.60, much less the the US average of 1.95 and therefore, not a "fruitful" source. China's TFR average is 1.65 but with historical birth controls to limit overpopulation. However, Mexico's TFR average is 2.55 and clearly, very fruitful! Clearly, in order to "replinish" its population and workforce the United State of America is going to become "darker," but with a noticeable reduction of Black people, spurred by: (1) perpetually decreasing fertility; (2) non-existence of the traditional heterosexual Black marriage; and (3) increased incarceration of Black men and Black women!         Total Fertility Rate keeps dropping Black people disappear Black people have low fertility CLICK ABOVE IMAGE TO ENLARGE CLICK ABOVE IMAGE TO ENLARGE CLICK ABOVE IMAGE TO ENLARGE       The traditional Black family no longer exists, and was destroyed in part by a so-called "war on drugs" that remains skewed to target, arrest, convict, and incarcerate more Black men than another other ethnic or racial group. "Marriage rates have fallen for all groups since the 1960s, but more sharply for blacks than for whites. In 1960, 74% of white adults were married, as were 61% of black adults. By 2011, the black marriage rate had fallen to 56% that of the white rate: 55% of whites were married, compared with 31% of blacks."

So, as illustrated below: > if Black fertility and Black marriages continue to decrease; > and if miscegenation (interracial marriages) and Black male mortality and high rates of incarceration continues to increase; > eventually the Black population will decrease.   It's basic math. Concurrent with the planned and successful genocide of Native Americans is the perpetual and successful destruction of the Black family. It's not an accident.
The demise of the traditional Black family functions as protracted genocide for future generations!
Because nothing is going to change. Again, it's basic math.
FACT: Except for the traditional token Black athletes, actors, and musicians, the overwhelming majority of Black women and Black men will NEVER prosper . . .

THE GREAT SELL-OUTS!
As robustly documented in the book, "A Separate Cinema: Fifty Years of Black-Cast Posters," concurrent with the dawn of the White film industry, Black people also produced original films, which were produced, directed, edited, distributed by and starring Black people. These Black produced films with all-Black casts included silent films, talkies, and color films. Just like White films, the genres included westerns, mysteries, dramas, romance, action, comedies, etc. Unlike White films that intentionally limited Black actors and actresses to menial service-oriented roles such as laborers, servants, maids, etc., the stories and roles in Black films mirrorred the self-sufficiency of the Black "segregated" community, which ranged from service to professional, including doctors, lawyers, pilots, newspapermen, politicians, business owners, and civic leaders. With every generation there has always been a "token negro" who's been "allowed" by "elite," politically powerful and affluent White people to do a little more, to have a little more success, etc., such as the first Black millionaire Madame C.J. Walker (1867-1919), Stepin Fetchit (1902-1985 who's "coonish" persona was not held in high regard by Black people), Sidney Poitier (1927-2022), Richard Pryor (1940-2005), Eddie Murphy (1961+), etc. Again, these "famous" people of color only functioned as "tokens," because they NEVER acquired or held the power or wealth of comparable White males and some White females. Plus, throughout U.S. history, whenever Black people appear to be too successful or perceived as arrogant, their careeers are ended (boxer Jack Johnson), or they are pushed out-of-business (Negro Baseball, Motown, Softsheen, etc.), or worse, literally burned out-of-business like the entire town of Tulsa, Oklahoma, the wealthiest Black community in the United States, known as "Black Wall Street." Stepin Fetchit Thomas Mitchell NET WORTH: $10 MILLION NET WORTH: $4 MILLION Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry (May 30, 1902 – November 19, 1985), better known by the stage name "Stepin Fetchit," was the first Black actor to have a successful film career who earned millions by playing stereotypical racist roles. His highest profile was during the 1930s in films and on stage, often without billing, or if billed, his persona of "Stepin Fetchit" was credited as, "The Laziest Man in the World." His popular films include "The Ghost Talks," "Big Timers," and "36 Hours to Kill," which are no longer in print or generally unavailable. CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE Thomas Mitchell was born on July 11, 1892 in Elizabeth, NJ. Mitchell was the first actor to win an Oscar, Emmy, and Tony Award. Mitchell, an accomplished character actor, "starred" in many legendary films, such as Gerald O'Hara (Scarlet's father) in "Gone with the Wind," Doc Boone in "Stagecoach," and Uncle Billy in "It's a Wonderful Life." His Academy Award win was for "Stagecoach," his Emmy for "The Doctor," and his Tony for the musical, "Hazel Flagg." Mitchell earned two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one for his work in television and one for his work in film. CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE So, why are successful Black stage and film directors, producers, actors, musicians, and music executives unable or unwilling to "pool" their collective creative and financial resources to create a Black owned and controlled theatrical enterprise comparable to Disney, Warner Bros., Columbia Pictures, MGM, etc.?   - Sheryl Lee Ralph on Film Industry Prejudice           Tim and Daphne Maxwell Reid built New Millennium Studios in 1997. Located in Petersburg, Virginia, the 57.4-acre site with its 14,850-square-foot sound studio was both the only Black-owned film studio in the United States since the 1930s, but also one of the largest independent film studios outside of Hollywood. New Millennium Studios was used in dozens of movie and television productions, including scenes from the 2001 film Hearts in Atlantis of the Stephen King book of the same name; parts of 2000's The Contender and elements of Steven Spielberg's 2012 film Lincoln were all shot there. The Reids also produced feature films of their own. Due to "a lack of incentives in the state" to bring film production to Virginia, and unable to "pool" the financial and creative support from Black investors, Black media, and Black film producers, Black directors, and Black creative arts professionals (actors, technicians, etc.) to create a Black owned and controlled multimedia theatrical enterprise, Reids sold the property in March 2015 for $1.475 million to Four Square Property Management LLC, a company formed by Four Square Industrial Constructors, based in Chester, Virginia. Source: Wikipedia.com       According to Forbes, Tyler Perry is worth $1.4 billion, primarily from his famous Madea movies, which have grossed more than $660 million in total, netting him $290 million in profits. Considering he stars in and produces them, Tyler Perry obviously keeps a huge percentage of the profits. In fact, Forbes notes that Tyler owns "100 percent of the content he's created" which means he keeps the lion's share of pretty much everything he touches. This reportedly includes more than 1,200 television episodes, two dozen stage plays, and 22 movies. Instead of "pooling" the financial and creative support from Black investors, Black media, and Black film producers, directors, and Black creative arts professionals (actors, technicians, etc.) to create a Black owned and controlled multimedia theatrical enterprise, Perry, acting as a "lone wolf," in 2019, celebrated the grand opening of his newest Atlanta studio location, having purchased 330 acres (130 ha) of the former Fort McPherson complex in 2015 to make it the new home of Tyler Perry Studios. Tyler Perry Studios is one of the largest film production studios in the United States, and established Perry as the first African-American to outright own a major film production studio (which is NOT true; see above Tim and Daphne Maxwell Reid's New Millennium Studios). Through 34th Street Films, a production arm of Tyler Perry Studios, Perry guides the work of other filmmakers. In 2018, Perry sold his previous studio location opened in 2008 to his former employee, Ozzie Areu, to create the Latino-owned Areu Bros. Studio film production company. The previous studio location occupied two former Delta Air Lines affiliated buildings in the Greenbriar area of southwest Atlanta, and included 200,000 square feet (19,000 m2) of sets and office space.       Before it was sold to White-owned Paramount, BET was the most dominate and successful Black-owned broadcast media. Yet again, instead of "pooling" the financial and creative support from Black investors, Black media, and Black film producers, directors, and Black creative arts professionals (actors, technicians, etc.) to create a Black owned and controlled multimedia theatrical enterprise, Robert Johnson, clearly didn't learn from Paramount's recent past on how to build, sustain, and grow his Black-owned businesses. As reported by David Sims in the Atlantic on August 19, 2019: The long history of CBS and Viacom merging, splitting up, and getting back together could be fodder for a juicy romance novel if it weren’t so dully corporate. Viacom (originally named CBS company by CBS in 1952 and spun off in 1971 because of a now-defunct law barring networks from owning syndicators. It grew so large on its own that Viacom, at one point, owned Paramount Pictures, Blockbuster Video, and, in 1999, CBS itself, merging back with its old corporate parent only to split apart again in 2005. Now the two companies are uniting again, but this time as an act of survival. This now official merger (announced last week) is about amassing enough capital to do battle with the giants of the media world, from old rivals Disney and WarnerMedia to tech juggernauts such as Netflix and Amazon. The newly monikered ViacomCBS will encompass CBS channels (including the Showtime network and The CW) and Viacom holdings such as Paramount, MTV, Nickelodeon, and Comedy Central. That’s big, but the CEO, Shari Redstone, has made it clear that she wants to get bigger. “My father once said, ‘Content is king,’ and never has that been more true than today,” Redstone said in a statement, referring to her father, Sumner Redstone, who once presided over the CBS/Viacom empire. “We will establish a worldclass, multiplatform media organization that is well positioned for growth in a rapidly transforming industry.” At one point, she had considered selling her empire to a larger company, according to Reuters, but is now looking to potentially acquire the Discovery network or part of Sony Entertainment.       Historically, there’s was no competition from White folks for the Black cosmetic products and hair care market. Absent well-financed White-owned and operated “big players,” Black people established and retained market dominance via promotional efforts essentially confined to a very limited network of Black-owned print (Jet and Ebony Magazines, etc.) and broadcast venues (BET television). Most importantly, as mandated by "elite," politically powerful and affluent White people, which included generations of genocide and oppression, the overwhelming majority of Black people were and remain brainwashed by White people NOT to be proud, NOT to have self-esteem, and to literally hate the way they look. Just how "White-like" can Black women make themselves?   As clearly documented (above) in advertisements for across-the-counter skin-bleaching creams containing hydroquinone, which is toxic and a potential carcinogen, directed at dark skinned Black people during the 1930s through the 1990s, it just wasn't "politically correct" to look too dark and nappy (the other "N" word). Unforunately, most Black people don't realize how they've been manipulated to straighten their hair, and to lighten their skin using chemicals or, as satirized in Spike Lee's 1988 movie, "School Daze, " by breading primarily with lighter-skinned "wannabe" Blacks (or White folks) instead of darker-skinned "jigaboo" Blacks in order to acquire god hair and good skin? Black women look like this! Arguably, they could be perceived as Latinas or White! Black and Proud?   Black men look like this! They can't be confused with any other males on the planet. Just ask any police officer!       In the landmark Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), educational psychologists Kenneth B. Clark and Mamie Phipps Clark used a "doll test" to successfully validate before the U.S. Supreme court how Black children have been brainwashed by White people to literally hate themselves. A Girl Like Me - Directed by Kiri Davis   Click the image above to read the film review for "12 Years A Slave."       Then, (Eureka!) White people discovered that Black women spend more money on cosmetics and hair care per capita than any other ethnic group in U.S., that the clear majority of Black females (who have naturally curly hair just like Black men), have their hair “done” or processed on average every three (3) to four (4) weeks - throughout their entire life span! It’s a built-in, captive, and very lucrative audience. Just add up the dollars signs!!! Well-financed White owned cosmetic companies and White owned trade publications like Sophisticate’s BLACK HAIR Styles and Care Guide Magazine aggressively sought and captured the Black cosmetics and hair care market.       OBJECTIVE: TO BE MORE "WHITE-LIKE"   NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, EVER TOUCH OR THINK ABOUT RUNNING YOUR FINGERS THROUGH A BLACK WOMAN'S HAIR!       The attempt by Pro-Line and other Black hair care vendors to make a bigger “revenue generating” foot print by marketing their products internationally is, ironically “colonial” and, unfortunately, to be successful L’Oreal and Revlon have deeper financial pockets and the shrewd and savvy business acumen not demonstrated by Black hair care vendors. Put another way, White companies don’t have any problem making money on the ethnicity of Black women and owning Black oriented companies that sell Black hair care products [hum, ethnicity + owning = slavery?]. You can easily find Soft Sheen’s advertisements throughout the world, like in the French magazine, “Miss Ebéne” [Translation: Miss Ebony]. Conversely, while Motown sold its artists under the banner “The Sound of Young America,” Black companies have not targeted the manufacture and sale of hair care products to and for White people. Why not? Are Black people afraid of making money off of White people? History continues to repeat itself. L’Oreal, owns and produces Dark & Lovely, StaSoftFro, Care Free Curl, Alternatives, Soft Sheen Optimum Care, Optimum, Wave Nouveau, Gentle Treatment, Ultra Sheen, Breakthru Revlon, owns and produces "African Pride" (ironic, huh? White people selling Black people a product called "African Pride") Alberto-Culver, owns and produces Pro-Line Comb-Thru, Soft & Beautiful, TCB Hair Relaxer, and Just For Me. After the big three Black owned and operated cosmetic companies (Soft Sheen, Johnson Products and Pro-Line) sold-out to White owned companies, the crumbs are left to the following much smaller Black owned companies: Bronner Bros., Luster Products, JM Products, Summit, Vitale and Dudley Products. As constantly promoted by Michael Jackson, the highly "evolved" Black "identity" requires Black people to look as White as possible!

Blige, third-Blonde on the right. Serena "Blondes Have More Fun" Williams         Black and Proud? You've got to be kidding! In trying to capture the evolving state of Black hair care where better to look than, of course, the legendary icon for Black identity, Jet Magazine. Frankly, it makes sense to review the aforementioned February 21, 2000 issue of Jet Magazine because the feature story is “The Hottest Females In Rap Music.” Rap, as I’m sure you’re aware, is yet another branch in the evolution of Black music and, given the backdrop of 1960s “Black Is Beautiful” movement, just how far have Black women come to embrace their ethnicity? The cover featured (at right): • Eve, her hair is dyed platinum blonde; • Lil’ Kim, appears to be wearing a platinum blonde wig; • Foxy Brown, has her hair processed and it looks greasy; and • Solé, either has her hair processed or, appears to have “good hair!” If Jet Magazine is a mirror of Black society, then surely it must be publishing a fair representation of contemporary Black America. Therefore, looking even closer at this issue, page by page, every article, every advertisement, should provide a snap shot to how we look and how Black people define themselves. Unfortunately, the images of Black women as presented by Jet magazine bear little resemblance to the prideful “Black Is Beautiful” spirit of the 1960s.         Black and Proud? Lead by example?     From ComicsTrip®, "It's a Bad Hair Day" Psst! As validated in Chris Rock's 2009 documentary, "Good Hair," here's a Black cultural fact and warning: Never, never ever try to run your fingers through a Black woman's hair!   Conversely . . . At the height of the civil rights movement, taken directly from the © December 1967 issue of Ebony Magazine, the overwheming majority of Black men wore their "Natural Hair," and did so proudly to define the Black male image! “Natural Hair” was recognized and accepted as “The New Symbol of Race Pride!” Notably, no women were featured - intentionally! As stated in the article, the (civil rights) phenomenon that caught on with thousands of Black men was not duplicated by Black women who have, “...not been free to doubt the pervasiveness of the blond-haired, blue-eyed White woman as a sex symbol.”     One might think the Black-owned, then White-owned, and now Black-owned again, Essence Magazine ("For Today's Black Woman") would proudly configure a robust assortment of Black-owned businesses to function as financial sponsors for its "Essence 2023 Festival of Culture," but as validated by their list of sponsors in the graphic below, one would be wrong to think Black-owned businesses, such as the Black Enterprise Top 100 Black Businesses, would collectively say, "Wait a minute, we got this! We don't need or want White-owned businesses to profit from the wonderful intelligence and beauty of our Black sisters! Again, we got this!"         Essence 2023 Festival of Culture As usual, the overwhelming majority of the most "inspiring" Black women have straight, processed hair.   White is right. Black get back.™         Again, not only do Black people not own and/or control the print, photo, audio, and video images of themselves, or the character, scope, and accuracy of the "narrative" of what is said about them via White-owned and controlled ABC news, NBC news, ABC news, AP News, MSNBC, CNN, etc.), but Black people don't control the marketing and advertising of their name, image, and likeness (NIL).

Ultimately, as "minority populations" evolve to become the "majority population" change "should" be inevitable as validated by: (1) the law of large numbers; and (2) the Thucydides Trap; BUT as validated by research published in the New York Times article of September 9, 2020, "Faces of Power: 80% Are White, Even as U.S. Becomes More Diverse," and as validated by the "30 Top Marketing Agencies" (at left) ultimate "ownership and control" over marketing the name, image, or likeness of Black people remains in the control of "elite," politically powerful and affluent White people, primarily White men.         In response to the changes in racial demographics, "elite," politically powerful and affluent White people routinely include more "token" people of color, and frequently interracial couples, in content for both advertising and programming, but "ownership and control" remains under the authority of "elite," politically powerful and affluent White people, primarily White men.       Negro Baseball League - Primarly between 1920 and 1950, the league featured Black athletes with athletic abilities equal to or greater than White leagues, and most importantly, the Black league created revenue streams that supported the Black community. Instead of building on this success, Black people progressively abandoned their support of the Negro Baseball League. With regard to being "brainwashed," the overwhelming majority of athletes in the NBA and the NFL are Black, but these Black millionaires are far more "content" to be "owned" by White men than to create their own professional leagues. Tis. Tis. Tis. Gone are the days of being, "Black and Proud."       Motown - The most successful Black owned and controlled music company in U.S. history, created many legendary and wealthy recording artists (Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, The Jackson 5, etc.) and robust revenue streams that supported many Black communities. Instead of "pooling" the financial and creative support from Black investors, Black media, and Black film producers, directors, and Black creative arts professionals (actors, technicians, etc.) to create a Black owned and controlled multimedia enterprise, Motown owner Berry Gordy lacked the guts or intelligence to merge with other successful Black entrepreneurs. So, he sold Motown to White-owned and controlled Universal Music Group.       Negro Ensemble Company - Formed in 1967 by Black people to showcase original theatrical works about the Black experience by Black writers such as August Wilson, Suzan-Lori Parks, and others, and featuring great Black actors including Kevin Hooks, Debbie Allen, Adolph Caesar, Louis Gossett, Jr. and so many, many more. So, why are successful Black stage and film directors, producers, and music executives unable or unwilling to "pool" their collective creative and financial resources to create a Black owned and controlled theatrical enterprise comparable to the "Broadway" theatrical experience in New York City?       As documented throughout U.S. history, Black businesses become extremely successful from revenue streams primarily targeting Black people. Then, in compliance with the principles of Willie Lynch-inspired brainwashing, eventually "affluent" Black people (Berry Gordy, Robert Johnson, etc.) frequently and voluntarily transfer "generational wealth" over to White people, or go out-of-business and succumb to White-ownership and control due to their failure to evolve Black-owned businesses.   If it's not broke, don't fix it! "LET'S MAKE A SLAVE" by Willie Lynch Let us make a slave. What do we Need? First of all we need a black nigger man, a pregnant nigger woman and her baby nigger boy. Second, we will use the same basic principle that we use in breaking a horse, combined with some more sustaining factors. We reduce them from their natural state in nature; whereas nature provides them with the natural capacity to take care of their needs and the needs of their offspring, we break that natural string of independence from them and thereby create a dependency state so that we maybe able to get from them useful production for our business and pleasure.   SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_states   CARDINAL PRINCIPLE FOR MAKING A SLAVE (NEGRO) For fear that our future generations may not understand the principle of breaking both horses and men, we lay down the art. For, if we are to sustain our basic economy we must break both of the beasts together, the nigger and the horse. We understand that short range planning in economics results in periodic economic chaos, so that, to avoid turmoil in the economy, it requires us to have breadth and depth in long range comprehensive planning, articulating both skill and sharp perception. We lay down the following principles for long range comprehensive economic planning: 1) Both horse and niggers are no good to the economy in the wild or natural state. 2) Both must be broken and tied together for orderly production. 3) For orderly futures, special and particular attention must be paid to the female and the youngest offspring. 4) Both must be crossbred to produce a variety and division of labor. 5) Both must taught to respond to a peculiar new language. 6) Psychological and physical instruction of containment must be created for both. We hold the above six cardinals as truths to be self-evident, based upon following discourse concerning the economics of breaking and tying the horse and nigger together...all inclusive of the six principles laid down above. NOTE: Neither principles alone will suffice for good economics. All principles must be employed for the orderly good of the nation. Accordingly, both a wild horse and a wild or natural nigger is dangerous even if captured, for they will have the tendency to seek their customary freedom, and, in doing so, might kill you in your sleep. You cannot rest. They sleep while you are awake and are awake while you are asleep. They are dangerous near the family house and it requires too much labor to watch them away from the house. Above all you cannot get them to work in this natural state. Hence, both the horse and the nigger must be broken, that is break them from one form of mental life to another, keep the body and take the mind. In other words, break the will to resist. Now the breaking process in the same for the horse and the nigger, only slightly varying in degrees. But as we said before, you must keep your eye focused on the female and the offspring of the horse and the nigger. A brief discourse in offspring development will shed light on the key to sound economic principle. Pay little attention to the generation of original breaking but concentrate on future generations. Therefore, if you break the female, she will break the offspring in its early years of development and, when the offspring is old enough to work, she will deliver it up to you. For her normal female protective tendencies will have been lost in the original breaking process. For example, take the case of the wild stud horse, a female horse and an already infant horse and compare the breaking process with two captured nigger males in their natural state, a pregnant nigger woman with her infant offspring. Take the stud horse, break him for limited containment. Completely break the female horse until she becomes very gentle whereas you or anybody can ride her in comfort. Breed the mare until you have the desired offspring. Then you can turn the stud to freedom until you need him again. Train the female horse whereby she will eat out of your hand, and she will train the infant horse to eat of your hand also. When it comes to breaking the uncivilized nigger, use the same process, but vary the degree and step up the pressure so as to do a complete reversal of the mind. Take the meanest and most restless nigger, strip him of his clothes in front of the remaining niggers, the female, and the nigger infant, tar and feather him, tie each leg to a different horse faced in opposite directions, set him a fire and beat both horses to pull him apart in front of the remaining niggers. The next step is to take a bullwhip and beat the remaining nigger male to the point of death in front of the female and the infant. Don't kill him. But put the fear of God in him, for he can be useful for future breeding.   THE BREAKING PROCESS OF THE AFRICAN WOMAN   Take the female and run a series of tests on her to see if she will submit to you desires willingly. Test her in every way, because she is the most important factor for good economic. If she shows any signs of resistance in submitting completely to your will, do not hesitate to use the bull whip on her to extract that last bit of bitch out of her. Take care not to kill her, for in doing so, you spoil good economics. When in complete submission, she will train her offspring in the early years to submit to labor when they become of age. Understanding is the best thing.   Therefore, we shall go deeper into this area of the subject matter concerning what we have produced here in this breaking of the female nigger. We have reversed the relationship. In her natural uncivilized state she would have a strong dependency on the uncivilized nigger male, and she would have a limited protective dependency toward her independent male offspring and would raise female offspring to be dependent like her. Nature had provided for this type of balance. We reversed nature by burning and dependent like her. Nature had provided for this type of balance. We reversed nature by burning and pulling one civilized nigger apart and bull whipping the other to the point of death--all in her presence. By her being left alone, unprotected, with male image destroyed, the ordeal cased her to move from her psychological dependent state to a frozen independent state. In this frozen psychological state of independence she will raise her male and female offspring in reversed roles. For fear of the young male's life she will psychologically train him to be mentally weak and dependent but physically strong. Because she has become psychologically independent, she will train her female offspring to be psychological independent as well. What have you got? You've got the nigger woman out front and the nigger man behind and scared. This is perfect situation for sound sleep and economics.     To combat the high rate of death among the enslaved, plantation owners demanded females start having children at 13. By 20, the enslaved women would be expected to have four or five children. As an inducement, plantation owners promised freedom for enslaved females once she bore 15 children, according to "Slavery in the United States," by John Simkin.   Before the breaking process, we had to be alert and on guard at all times. Now we can sleep soundly, for out of frozen fear, his woman stand guard for us. He cannot get past her early infant slave molding process. He is good tool, now ready to be tied to the horse at a tender age. By the time a nigger boy reaches the age of sixteen, he is soundly broken in and ready for a long life of sound and efficient work and the reproduction of a unit of good labor force. Continually, through the breaking of uncivilized savage niggers, by throwing the nigger female savage into a frozen psychological state of independence, by killing the protective male image, and by creating a submissive dependent mind of the nigger male slave, we have created an orbiting cycle that turns on its own axis forever, unless a phenomenon occurs and reshifts the positions of the male and female savages. We show what we mean by example. Take the case of two economic slave units and examine them closely.   THE SLAVE (NEGRO) MARRIAGE UNIT We breed two nigger males with two nigger females. Then we take the nigger males away from them and keep them moving and working. Say the one nigger female bears a nigger female and the other bears a nigger male. Both nigger females, being without the influence of the nigger male image, frozen with an independent psychology, will raise their offspring into reverse positions. The one with the female offspring will teach her to be like herself, independent and negotiable (we negotiate with her, through her, by her, and negotiate her will). The one with the nigger male offspring, she being frozen with a subconscious fear for his life, will raise him to be mentally dependent and weak, but physically strong -- in other words, body over mind. Now, in a few years when these two offspring become fertile for early reproduction, we will mate and breed them and continue the cycle. That is good, sound, and long range comprehensive planning.   WARNING: POSSIBLE INTERLOPING NEGATIVES Earlier, we talked about the non-economic good of the horse and the nigger in their wild or natural state; we talked out the principle of breaking and tying them together for orderly production, furthermore, we talked about paying particular attention to the female savage and her offspring for orderly future planning; then more recently we stated that, by reversing the positions of the male and female savages we had created an orbiting cycle that turns on its own axis forever, unless phenomenon occurred, and reshifted the positions of the male and female savages. Our experts warned us about the possibility of this phenomenon occurring, for they say that the mind has a strong drive to correct and recorrect itself over a period of time if it can touch some substantial original historical base; and they advised us that the best way to deal with phenomenon is to shave off the brute's mental history and create a multiplicity of phenomenon or illusions so that each illusion will twirl in its own orbit, something akin to floating balls in a vacuum. This creation of a multiplicity of phenomenon or illusions entails the principles of crossbreeding the nigger and the horse as we stated above, the purpose of which is to create a diversified division of labor. The result of which is severance of the points of original beginning's for each spherical illusion. Since we fell that the subject matter may get more complicated as we proceed in laying down our economic plan concerning the purpose, reason, and effect of cross-breeding horses and niggers, we shall lay down the following definitional terms for future generations. 1. Orbiting cycle means a thing turning in a given pattern. 2. Axis means upon which or around which a body turns. 3. Phenomenon means something beyond ordinary conception and inspires awe and wonder. 4. Multiplicity means a great number. 5. Sphere means a globe. 6. Cross-breeding a horse means taking a horse and breeding it with an ass and you get a dumb backward ass, longheaded mule that is not reproductive nor productive by itself. 7. Cross-breeding niggers means taking so many drops of good white blood and putting them into as many nigger women as possible, varying the drops by the various tone that you want, and then letting them breed with each other until cycle of colors appear as you desire. What this means is this: Put the niggers and the horse in the breeding pot, mix some asses and some good white blood and what do you get? You got a multiplicity of colors of ass backwards, unusual niggers, running, tied to backwards ass longheaded mules, the one productive of itself, the other sterile. (The one constant, the other dying -- we keep the nigger constant for we may replace the mule for another tool) both mule and nigger tied to each other, neither knowing where the other came from and neither productive for itself, nor without each other.   CONTROLLED LANGUAGE Cross-breeding completed, for further severance from their original beginning, we must completely annihilate the mother tongue of both the nigger and the new mule and institute a new language that involves the new life's work of both. You know, language is a peculiar institution. It leads to the heart of people. The more a foreigner knows about the language of another country the more he is able to move through all levels of that society. Therefore, if the foreigner is an enemy of the country, to the extent that he knows the body of the language, to that extent is the country vulnerable to attack or invasion of a foreign culture. For example, you take the slave, if you teach him all about your language, he will know all your secrets, and he is then no more a slave, for you can't fool him any longer and having a fool is one of the basic ingredients of and incidents to the making of the slavery system. For example, if you told a slave that he must perform in getting our "our crops" and he knows the language well, he would know that "our crops" didn't mean "our" crops, and the slavery system would breakdown, for he would relate on the basis of what "our crops" really meant. So you have to be careful in setting up the new language for the slave would soon be in your house, talking to you as "man to man" and that is death to our economic system. In addition, the definition of words and terms are only a minute part of the process. Values are created and transported by communication through the body of the language. A total society has many inconnected value systems. All these values in the society have bridges of language to connect them for orderly working in the society. But for these language bridges, these many value systems would sharply clash and cause internal strife or civil war, the degree of the conflict being determined by the magnitude of the issues or relative opposing strength in whatever form. For example, if you put a slave in a hog pen and train him to live there and incorporate in him to value it as a way of life completely, the biggest problem you would have out of him is that he would worry you about provisions to keep the hog pen clean, or partially clean or he might not worry you at all. On the other hand, if you put this same slave in the same hog pen and make a slip and incorporate something in his language whereby he comes to value a house more than he does his hog pen, you got a problem. He will soon be in your house.     If it's not broke, don't fix it! "A FOOL PROOF METHOD FOR CONTROLLING YOUR BLACK SLAVES" by Willie Lynch, 1712   I greet you here on the bank of the James River in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and twelve. First, I shall thank you, The Gentlemen of the Colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I am here to help you solve some of your problems with slaves. Your invitation reached me on my modest plantation in the West Indies where I have experimented with some of the newest and still the oldest methods for the control of slaves. Ancient Rome would envy us if my program was implemented. As our boat sailed south on the James River, named for our illustrious King, whose version of the Bible we cherish, I saw enough to know that your problem is not unique. While Rome used cords of wood as crosses for standing human bodies along its old highways, in great numbers you are here using the tree and the rope on occasion.   I caught the whiff of a dead slave hanging from a tree a couple of miles back. You are losing valuable stock by hangings, you are having uprisings, slaves are running away, your crops are sometimes left in the fields too long for maximum profit, you suffer occasional fires, your animals are killed off. Gentlemen, you know what your problems are: I do not need to elaborate. I am not here to enumerate your problems. I am here to introduce you to a method of solving them.   In my bag here, I have a fool proof method for controlling your Black slaves. I guarantee everyone of you that if installed correctly, it will control the slaves for at least 300 years. My method is simple, any member of your family or any overseer can use it.   I have outlined a number of differences among the slaves: and I take these differences and make them bigger. I use fear, distrust and envy for control purposes. These methods have worked on my modest plantation in the West Indies and it will work throughout the South for you also. Take this simple little list of differences, and think about them. On top of my list is "Age" but it is only there because it starts with an "A": the second is "Color" or shade, there is intelligence, size, sex size of plantations, status on plantation, attitude of owners, whether the slaves live in the valley, on a hill, East, West, North, South, have fine or coarse hair, or is tall or short. Now that you have a list of differences, I shall give you an outline of action -- but before that, I shall assure you that distrust is stronger than trust, and envy is stronger than adulation, respect or admiration. The Black Slave, after receiving this indoctrination shall carry on and will become self re-fueling and self-generating for hundreds of years, maybe thousands.   Don't forget you must pit the old Black male vs. the young Black male and the young Black male vs. the old Black male. You must use the dark skin slaves vs. the light skin slaves and the light skin slaves vs. the dark skin slaves. You must use the female vs. the male, and the male vs. the female. You must also have you Caucasian servants and overseers distrust all Blacks, but it is necessary that your Black slaves trust and depend on us. They must love, respect and trust only us.   Gentlemen, these kits are your keys to control. Use them. Have your wives and children use them. Never miss an opportunity. My plan is guaranteed, and the good thing about this plan is that if used intensely and properly for one year, the slaves themselves will remain perpetually distrustful. Thank you Gentlemen.     DISCLAIMER: Some people dispute the authenticity of the Willie Lynch letters; nevertheless, the principles defined in these letters accurately define and capture the perpetual character and scope of the "Black experience" in the United States of America.
5. "Elite," politically powerful and affluent Black people lack business acumen!
Back in the day, Berry Gordy, John H. Johnson, George E. Johnson, Robert L. Johnson, Earl G. Graves founder of Black Enterprise Magazine, and several other wealthy Black entrepreneurs could have coalesced their economic might and business acumen via: (1) friendly and hostile acquisitions; (2) leverage debt buyouts (LBO); (3) initial public offerings (IPO); partnerships; and other business development strategies to form a Black-owned and Black-controlled multimedia corporate giant, like Disney (225,000 employees, and owner of ABC-TV, ESPN, Marvel Comics, etc.); or Warner Bros. Discovery (35,300 employees and owner of TimeWarner, HBO/Max, DC Comics, Warner Bros., CNN, etc.); or Comcast (186,000 employees and owner of NBC-TV, Universal Films, USA Network, Bravo, etc.; and Paramount (21,900 employers and owner of CBS-TV, Paramount Films, Simon & Schuster publishing, etc.). But they didn't do it. In business, it's all about "exclusivity," and not "inclusiveness." A generation ago, due to the proprietary and "exclusive" Black consumer market developed and held by John Publishing's Jet and Ebony magazines, every major politician, White and Black, would intentionally include Jet and Ebony magazines for the strategic release and distribution of campaign and political information. Over the course of several decades, you'd literally see hundreds, thousands of photos and comments from White and Black politicians running for mayor, state legislatures, Congress, and the U.S. presidency. For Black people, publications like Jet, Ebony, and Black Stars (which focused only on Black musicians, actors, etc.) provided a great feeling of racial connection, belongingness, and continuity, because there were no nationally broadcast Black radio stations or Black television stations or internet social media (FaceBook.com, YouTube.com, etc.). BET came later. What might happen, if through mergers and acquisitions, a Black-owned multimedia was formed that included: Entertainment Studios, Inc. (Byron Allen) Urban One (Cathy Hughes) Aspire TV (Magic Johnson) Black Enterprise (Earl Graves, Jr.) Ebony (Eden Bridgman) OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) is primarily the property of White-owned Discovery, Inc., and minority owner Harpo Productions. Oprah Winfrey is contracted with the channel through at least 2025. Tyler Perry Studios (Tyler Perry) Bounce TV - Founded by Martin Luther King III, Andrew Young, and Andrew "Bo" Young III, is a property of White-owned E. W. Scripps Company. Plus, what if the "A-List" of Black musicians, actors, actresses, comedians, etc. (Denzel Washington, Viola Davis, Morgan Freeman, Oprah, Jamie Foxx, Halle Berry, Kevin Hart, Angela Bassett, Chris Rock, Phyllis Yvonne Stickney, Dave Chappelle, Beyoncé, Kanye West, Taraji P. Henson, Jay-Z, Gabrielle Union, Samuel L. Jackson, Wanda Sykes, Laurence Fishburne, Regina King, Will Smith, Sanaa Lathan, Eddie Murphy, Sommore, Katt Williams, Tiffany Haddish, Earthquake, Maya Rudolph, Godfrey, Yvonne Orji, etc.), were all signed to "exclusive" representation and performance to this Black-owned media conglomerate, but unlike the old "Hollywood" system, Black artist would actually own all or a percent of their content. Of course, Black people with pertinent business acumen should be added to the above list. But can Black people actually work together? Or, must "Willie Lynch" inspired brainwashing continue to define the stupidity and failure of Black people to work together? Again, keep in mind, throughout the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, White-owned and controlled mainstream media literally "banned" minorities from their advertising and program content; and even during and after the 1970s images of and content involving people of color was excluded from White-owned and controlled advertising content and reporting. The "standard of beauty," as iconically represented by Marilyn Monroe's blonde hair and blue eyes was determined by White-owned and controlled media - period. Today, due to changing racial demographics (as validated by the law of large numbers, and the Thucydides Trap), when the "minority population" evolves to become the "majority population" change is inevitable, and can no longer be easily ignored. Consequently, more "token" people of color are routinely included in content for both advertising and programming, but "ownership" remains in the control of "elite," politically powerful and affluent White people, primarily White men, and frequently Jewish men. Being legally prohibited from ownership and/or participation in mainstream White-owned and controlled media, Black people created their own media. The success of many Black musical acts and companies, especially at Motown, Solar Records (Soul Train), Philadelphia International Records, etc., was largely due to constant coverage of their careers in Jet, Ebony, Black Stars, and other Black publications. Additionally, Johnson Products Company, which was located in Chicago when the television program "Soul Train" was launched, became a longtime sponsor of the show "Soul Train" until its cancellation. The aforementioned companies were all started by Black people, and eventually all were sold to White people, except for Johnson Products, when in March 2009, a consortium of African-American investment firms bought the company from White-owned Proctor & Gamble to reestablish it as a Black-owned company.
Black Enterprise Magazine, launched in the 1970s, continues to publish content to showcase and hopefully build Black-owned businesses. Its biggest claim to fame is the annual Black Enterprise Top 100 Black Businesses.

Why hasn't Black Enterprise Magazine used its "business acumen" to increase the percent of Black-owned businesses? Companies Listed on BE's Top 100 None. Why hasn't Black Enterprise Magazine used its "business acumen" to increase the percent of Black-owned businesses?           Other than publishing very generic "how to" rhetoric on financial wealth building, emotional wellbeing, Black business "sisterhood," etc., Black Enterprise does not actually "build" Black businesses through cross-marketing of products and services, identifying and engaging strategic mergers and acquisitions, or "branding" or re-branding markets or industries to acquire, sustain, and increase the sovereignty of Black-owned business. With regard to "business expertise" to build, sustain, and grow businesses, Black Enterprise possesses nothing more than false bravo. During its watch, what happened? Motown; gone. Johnson Publications; gone. Tim Reid's New Millennium Studios; gone. Black Enterprise primarily reports business matters as the "tail" to the dominant "dog" of culture, lifestyles, sports, and entertainment; but it does not function to build, sustain, and grow Black-owned business enterprises. For example, given the notoriety established by Black Enterprise during the past fifty-(50) years, U.S. cities with the largest percent of Black residents, especially in the south (Jackson, Mississippi; Montgomery, Alabama; Augusta, Georgia, etc.), should be ripe to develop Black businesses. However, as validated by the U.S. Census, "elite," politically powerful and affluent White people, primarily White men, continue to rule all aspects of businesses in the south, and likewise, southern cities are not represented (ignored) by the Black Enterprise Top 100 Black Businesses.   As researched and reported by PEW Research, U.S. Census Bureau, and the National Science Foundation, in 2022, this is the "character" of Black business in the United States.   CLICK IMAGE ABOVE TO ENLARGE.

Likewise, without major advertising support from White companies, Black Enterprise cannot sustain itself, which puts its future at risk. Notably, when White people become a minority population due to changing demographics, White companies will likely transition their advertising dollars to give greater support to sustain White-owned companies. Black Enterprise "branded" itself as the pinnacle of expertise for Black business, but absent from its business model is . . . a robust and independent aggregate of Black advertisers to sustain its existence.
Johnson Publishing's Jet and Ebony magazines covered the same ground, but without the robust scope of business reporting, analysis, and use of business language vernacular, such as return-on-investment (ROI), leverage debt buyout (LBO), initial public offering (IPO), etc. However, despite these differences, both companies "branded" Black women and Black men with the same "look" of assimilation into White-owned, "mainstream" media. Do Black businesses market to Black people to spur generational wealth amongst Black people, or as documented throughout U.S. history, do Black businesses market to Black people only to eventually turn this wealth over to White people? Keep in mind, the demise of Johnson Publications did not occur overnight, and unfortunately, Johnson Publications opted-out of marketing efforts it could have used to monetize their content in both the short and long term. For example, data collection and management is extremely important in business, education, and entertainment, because there's always a need to access facts, photos, and to conduct and validate research. Recognizing the aforementioned, many content providers began releasing some or all of their content on CD-Roms, and eventually via their web sites, or "free downloads" via cloud-based proprietary access including YouTube.com, the Internet Archive, or SaaS (Software as a Service) platforms; and this writer has used all of the aforementioned. In addition to the CD-Roms pictured below, this writer also possesses: the entire National Geographic catalogue; Variety Newspaper Volume 1 through 4; Star Trek Omnipedia; and many other data resources. Johnson Publishing could have selectively: 1. released and/or licensed Volumes 1 through 20 or more; 2. targeted different audiences, from education to business to entertainment; and 3. schedule the release and/or license over a period of years. Doing the aforementioned while retaining its proprietary and very exclusive content as a vibrant revenue stream; but it did not do so. Where was the CD-Rom containing the "selected" digital library of JET, Ebony, and Black Stars magazines? Instead of building, sustaining, and growing Johnson Publishing's legendary Black-owned businesses: (a) In December 2008, Google announced that it was scanning back issues for Google Book Search, all issues from November 1959 to December 2008 were made available for free; and (b) Johnson Publishing sold the Ebony/Jet photo archives in July 2019 for a measly $30 million to a group of art and educational foundations. Licensing content is not an original idea; in fact, prior to being purchased by Disney, Marvel Comics licensed many of its characters to Sony, Fox, and Universal. However, in 2009 Disney purchased Marvel and subsequently purchased Fox, and now has ownership and total control of "all" Marvel properties. Keep in mind, just like China only "leased" Hong Kong to the United Kingdom for ninety-nine-(99) years, Marvel only "licensed" its content, it did not "sell" anything. Conversely, instead of sustaining ownership and providing generational wealth, Black-owned businesses frequently "give-a-way" their content or sell it, typically to "elite," politically powerful and affluent White people. Are Black people stupid? Note the graphic below (click to enlarge).
Presented below is a laundry list of "elite," politically powerful and affluent Black people who supposedly possess "business acumen" that made them billionaires.
In 2018, Forbes published its assessment of the richest Black and African (yes, there's a big difference) people in the world.

Clearly, there are extremely rich Black and African people who "appear" to possess expertise in diverse industries. So why don't these "elite," politically powerful and affluent Black and African billionaires form a multi-national business conglomerate (like Warner Bros. Discovery, Boeing, General Electric, Disney, Sony, General Motors, Panasonic, etc.). QUESTION: Are Black people as smart as the Chinese who, as documented via the graph below, use their collective wealth and business acumen to purchase and controll "prominent" U.S. businesses? CHINESE OWNED AND CONTROLLED Brooklyn Nets The Waldorf Astoria AMC Theatres Strategic Hotels & Resorts Smithfield Foods Riot Games Legendary Entertainment Group Ingram Micro GE Appliances Motorola Mobility ANSWER: No, Black people are not as smart. QUESTION: Are Black people as smart as the Japanese who, as documented via the graph below, literally captured nearly 50% of the U.S auto market?
ANSWER: No, Black people are not as smart.
WHY ARE BLACK PEOPLE TOO STUPID TO LEARN FROM "ELITE," POLITICALLY POWERFUL AND AFFLUENT WHITE PEOPLE?   United Artists Corporation (UA), an American production and distribution company, was founded in 1919 by legendary director D.W. Griffith and equally legendary filmmakers (actor, screenwriter, director, producer) Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks as a venture premised on allowing actors to control their own interests rather than being dependent upon commercial studios.     MGM, founded in 1924, was formed by Marcus Loew by combining Metro Pictures, Goldwyn Pictures and Louis B. Mayer Pictures into one company. MGM hired a number of well-known actors as contract players—its slogan was "more stars than there are in heaven"—and soon became Hollywood's most prestigious filmmaking company, producing popular musical films and winning many Academy Awards. MGM also owned film studios, movie lots, movie theaters and technical production facilities.     iHeartMedia, Inc., or CC Media Holdings, Inc., is an American mass media corporation, formerly known as Clear Channel Communications, Inc., which was founded by Lowry Mays and Red McCombs in 1972, and later taken private by Bain Capital and Thomas H. Lee Partners in a leveraged buyout in 2008. As a result of the 2008 buyout, Clear Channel Communications, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of CC Media Holdings, Inc. Through a constant and strategic series of radio station acquisitions and leverage buyouts the company owns more than 850 full-power AM and FM radio stations in the U.S., making it the country's largest owner of radio stations in the United States.     WHY DO "ELITE," POLITICALLY POWERFUL AND AFFLUENT BLACK PEOPLE REFUSE TO PARTNER WITH EACH OTHER TO CREATE AND GROW BLACK BUSINESSES, AND TO ESTABLISH AND SUSTAIN GENERATIONAL WEALTH WITHIN THE BLACK COMMUNITY?

You support Strategic Sports Group, which will make nearly $3 billion available to fight Saudis backed LIV Golf, which has continued to poach PGA Tour players. Conversely, the PGA has never provided such financial support to Black and Asian golfers. So, why haven't YOU unified the UBGA and the NNGA and create a Black Professional Golf Association (BPGA) with a "first-of-its-kind" program to allow Black golfers to become equity partners? Although you "brand" yourself as "Money," you've actually worked as an employee for sports promoters who've paid you.

Q1: Given the existence of "conservative principles" throughout U.S. history, at what point during your lifetime did the socio-economic status and access to education for the overwhelming majority of Black people improve to significantly reduce or eliminate the wealth gap between White people and Black people? When? Q2: People of color, and women, did NOT conceive, engineer, and execute acts of "inhumanity" to themselves, because people of color, and women, were not and have never held the power, control, or "privilege" to do so. So, as created and sustained by White men, if "systemic racism and system sexism" did not or does not exist, to whom exactly were laws to establish or prohibit racial and sexual discrimination directed? To whom? Q3: Except for a few tokens, the overall social and economic status (i.e., equal access to education, employment, housing, health care, and the political process) for the overwhelming majority of Black people, and other peole of color, did not change, without regard to Republican (or conservative) or Democratic (or liberal) administrations, during the 1870s, 1880s, 1890s, 1900s, 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and the 2010s.

Now, if the word "nigger" offends you, or if you feel it's inappropriate to label all "elite," politically powerful and affluent do-nothing Black people as "niggers," please keep in mind, "If it walks like duck, and talks like a duck . . . it's a duck."
QUESTION: Given the aforementioned, is it "fair" to perceive these "elite," politically powerful and affluent "niggers" as unimaginative, or too damn lazy, or "good for nuthin' buffoons" or narcissistic Uncle Tom's who are not only "indifferent to being Black and Proud," but as losers who lack or refused to acquire business acumen to build and sustain vibrant Black-owned businesses to create generational wealth for Black communities? RESPONSE: Yes, these "niggers" are, in fact, losers who lack or refused to acquire business acumen to build and sustain vibrant Black-owned businesses to create generational wealth for Black communities. QUESTION: Are these "elite," politically powerful and affluent "niggers" to blame for sustaining Black poverty, high unemployment, poor education, and for being sell-outs to sustain White privilege over all things involving Black people? RESPONSE: Yes, these "elite," politically powerful and affluent "niggers" must be blamed for sustaining Black poverty, high unemployment, poor education, and for sustaining White privilege over all things involving Black people.
Are Black people stupid? Hell, yes, because former slaves had better business acumen than Oprah Winfrey, or Michael Jordan, or Berry Gordy, or Robert Johnson and so many others. Here, watch this!
Again, when "Elite," politically powerful and affluent White make Black people as rich as Oprah Winfrey, or Michael Jordan, or Berry Gordy, or Robert Johnson and so many others, and these rich Black people fail to align themselves to create dynamic business enterprises to uniquely advance the socio-economic status of other Black people and create generational wealth, then yes, these Black people are not just Uncle Tom's, egotistical, stingy, and narcissistic, they are also stupid . . . and weak . . . cowards . . . and not deserving of any respect or idolatry. By the way, "Elite," politically powerful and affluent White people in Florida, mostly White men, recently passed a state law for public schools to teach slavery was a good thing, a benefit to slaves, because it taught slaves (before or while being raped, beaten, shot, hung, or eventually killed) various "skills," for which they were never compensated . . . because they were SLAVES! The "bigger problem," with what White men did in Florida, is the fact that Black people did NOT unite and take action against the entire state of Florida, and they should have done so. Case in point, back in the day, "prominant" Black men openly supported Muhammad Ali's refusal to kill Vietnamese. Conversely, many of those same "prominant" Black men who supported Muhammad Ali back in 1967 - Bill Russell, Jim Brown, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - did NOT unite in public support of Colin Kaepernick's refusal to stand for the National Anthem during NFL games. Yes, it absolutely mattered! Bill Russell took a knee in support of Colin Kaepernick's refusal to stand for the National Anthem during NFL games, but where, where, where was the robust, national media relations campaign from "prominant" Black men in support of Colin Kaepernick?         Where, where, where was (is) the national media relations campaign from "elite," politically powerful and affluent Black people encouraging Black people, strategically lead by a consolidation of legal acumen from Black attorneys, to legally empower Black people to boycott all businesses and schools in Florida or leave the State for "educating" students that "slavery" was a benefit to Black people?       In response to the State of Florida telling Black people their "enslavement" was a benefit, a good thing, "elite," politically powerful and affluent Black people should have: (1) formed a consortium; and (2) saturate all print, broadcast radio and television, and relevant social media with the following key points in a press release: A. Slavery was not a good thing, or a benefit to Black people who were taught "White christain skills" of how to rape, beat, castrate, shoot, LYNCH, and kill. B. Immediately rescind this asinine and racist educational mandate, and issue a public apology. C. Your asinine and racist educational mandate will be litigated by the federal Justice Department as: (1) a hate crime for supporting criminal acts against Black people, including creating "hostile" environments for both work and education; (2) the pursuit of fines and penalities against the State of Florida and the individual prosecution and incarceration of all individuals who initiated and approved this asinine and racist educational mandate to support criminal activity against Black people; and (3) the robust investigation of Florida's extremely robust history of hate crimes against Black people (see chart below). D. Our consortium will fund the relocation, employment, and housing of all 3,843,823 Black people from the State of Florida to U.S. states and territories that do not support such asinine and racist educational mandates. This is NOT a boycott, but a permanent removal of Black people from a state that retains a SLAVE MASTER mentality, and the ban of all economic activity, including college and professional sports and entertainment, that involve the recruitment or participation of Black people. FACT: Research confirms many victims of terror lynchings were murdered (frequently in Florida - see graph below) without being accused of any crime; they were killed for minor social transgressions or for demanding basic rights and fair treatment. Racial terror lynching was and is a tool to enforce Jim Crow laws and racial segregation - a tactic for maintaining racial control by victimizing the entire Black community, not merely punishment of an alleged perpetrator for a crime. These same controlling "tactics" are employed by police, the judiciary, and all aspects of law enforcement today!

We be so greatful of your kindness before you beat, raped, castrated, and lynched us!"     When the Israeli’s pick up guns, or the Pols, or the Irish, or any White man in the world, and says, “Give me liberty or give me death,” the entire White world applauds; but when a Black man says EXACTLY THE SAME THING, word for word, he is judged a criminal and treated like one, and everything possible is done to make an example of this bad nigger so there won’t be anymore like him. James Baldwin On the Dick Cavett Show 05/16/1969 As sustained by both political parties, are Black people really too stupid to grasp the "Bigger Picture"? In the absence of evidence to the contrary, yes, "elite," politically powerful and affluent Black people are stupid, and it's appropriate to blame these Black people for helping "elite," politically powerful and affluent White people to sustain the status quo! Face it, "elite," politically powerful and affluent Black people don't have the balls, political savvy, and business acumen to hold "elite," politically powerful and affluent White people responsible for their perpetual racism. . . .
