Many times, I am asked why, more than 500 years after 1492 and the Christopher Columbus invasion, there is still racism in America.

The answer to this question is simple. Sometimes, when something’s right in front of your face and pointing at your nose, it can be difficult to see. America will give no more to the minority population than they demand of America. 

Firstly, people of color have to establish themselves as a nation within this nation, developing an initiative that promotes black nationalism. Blacks have already earned the right to be seen and treated as equal, if not greater, than the favored majority ruling class. Black nationalism is an attitude that makes you equal. Minority people should control the politics and politicians who govern their communities.

Secondly, minority communities should no longer allow citizens from outside communities to come into our communities and tell us what we can and cannot do.

Thirdly, we must build a program of politically-educated citizens. We cannot open up a black-owned business in a white-controlled neighborhood and expect to do well.

The slave labor of Black minority men and women built the wall that Wall Street gets its name from. Black New Yorkers who bought their freedom worked as craftsmen  who made copper and silverware to earn equal respect in the human race. 

We must create employment for our own race to make a better living. Self-help or do-it-yourself programs need to be started with a sense of black nationalism. Black people must create a new philosophy, a new attitude, a new behavioral pattern that eliminates self-hatred, and colonialism will end.

Meanwhile, education across the country in the urban communities has been revamped to dumb down the student body, feeding into  a rise in illiteracy. Music has been removed from  curricula in a major proportion.  Some studies have suggested that music positively affects students’ academic performance by increasing their reasoning skills. 

Minority people must re-educate themselves to become more self-sufficient and keep the dollars in their own neighborhoods. We must set up stores and form our own merchant associations that work for us “economically.” 
Alexander the Great was the greatest general who ever commanded an army. Alexander the Great was born in 365 B.C.E. in a small country in northern Greece called Macedonia, of which his father Philip was king since he was 13 to 16 years old. He was tutored by the philosopher Aristotle.

ome people have argued that Alexander the Great was Black. If that is so, it could explain why blacks are still used today as military might.

Why should we be 100 percent of a man on the battlefield and 50 percent of a citizen when we return to the homeland? So let’s create a government that works for “all” the people.

If we follow these steps, we will then build a program of politically-educated and economically-minded citizens. We must buy property instead of renting apartments and making other people wealthy. We have no equity to show in our passage through life, leaving nothing for our children to use as start-up money to blossom in the future generations to come. We are all one humankind in man’s inhumanity to man.

Racism would then die a natural death without one boycott, on civil rights march, or one bullet fired.
