Sisters and Brothers, if you knew w hat was in the pipeline now , it w ou ld blow your m inds. This beast in hum an form is believed to be c o m m ittin g genocide against us Bku k people a'«' given the belie! th a t they are citizens o f the U S Yet the reality is that Black people are slaves in this co un try. Never theless, m any Black people believe th a t they are actually first class citizens in "NIGGER bating Am er ika I sic I. Our collective m ind has been raped, violated and penetrated w ith caucasoid perceptions and cauca soid belief systems. Our behavior c a n 't help but be caucasoid inspired. W h a t o the r w ay do w e know as a people? Unless Black people change their th inking , w e w ill be phased o u t o f existence, like obso lete equipm ent. Remember w e are not needed or w an te d by the society at large. M achines provide the labor Black people used to do. M achines and co m p ute rs are cheaper and less troublesom e than people. The c ri minal controllers o f this society made use o f psychological warfare to erode and destroy the w ill and rights now I'm inclined to believe m ust reject the society's values. Only then can minimize the effects o f the victim s culture and the victim s m entacide. The victim s m ust develop a new consciousness, based on tru th , to replace the negative consciousness o f the victim izer. The victim s m ust seize and develop their ow n in s titu tions m order to reinforce and en courage their belief system and be havior The key is victim s m ust create a new generation o f m inds w hich have been b ro ug ht into the new consciousness, to the point it is a part o f them . M any o f you w ill say these items are n ot possible, but I say to you, if w e don t dare to challenge the im possible, then we w ill die like dogs.
