[b]Blacks?" Six thousand years of their history has answered : Unite or

perish . The tragedy that bloodied the pages in every period of their

history because of disunity should be warning enough for the Blacks of

Africa, the Caribbean, and elsewhere . But, being the one people who

are generally ignorant of their history, it may well be that many will not

see unity as a question of life or death . However, there has been so

much history during the time of those now living that the precarious

situation of the black race should be obvious to all . Only a largely united

people can successfully confront oppressors and, without praying on

bended knees, or even pleading, secure the removal of all shackling

chains. The choice is between unity of action in calm, careful thinking

and planning the courses of action through one vast organization of

millions-either this or ultimate damnation . If the race is incapable of

unity, it is incapable of survival as a free and equal people, and will

deserve all the iniquities imposed upon it, for it will have proved

beyond all question that it is indeed unfit to survive as a people free and

equal in every respect whatsoever with the other peoples of the earth .

What is proposed here is a moratorium on futile rhetoric and the

beginning of real racial unity through an action program never attempted

before . Therefore, black leadership obstacles will still be with us, and for

the same ancient reasons . A mass organization expressly planned to

enrich the lives of the people on all fronts, and directly through the

peoples' ownership of, and profit-sharing in all economic enterprisesthis

will be too much for many leaders to adopt, except "in principle ."

And any such all-Africa race movement in the United States will

certainly be bitterly opposed by all Negro integrationists because no

whites would be in it . This, in their skewed minds, means "black
separatism ."

BLACK SEPARATISTSWHO
ARE THEY?

The simple truth is that the African people in the United States and

throughout the world are not, and never have been, separatists in fact .

Perhaps this has been their weakness . They have never really hated the

whites, and they do not really hate whites now . What is taken for

"hatred," when applied to Blacks, is their reaction against being hated,

rejected and oppressed . And the thinking whites know this very well .[/b]

[b]disunity and, therefore, the utter helplessness of a race whose liberation

from oppression can be achieved only by united initiatives of its own .

They, the so-called criminals and their youthful followers, expect nothing

beneficial from the white world, and see no reason for hope in their

own. Hence, like caged animals, they strike at what is nearest them-their

own people. They are actually trying to kill a situation they hate,

unaware that even in this, they are serving the white man well. For the

whites need not go all out for "genocide" schemes, for which they are

often charged, when Blacks are killing themselves off daily on such a

large scale .

This brings us directly to the second reason why most crimes by

Blacks are against Blacks and not, as even the whites would expect,

against whites . The unequal justice system of white America encourages

Blacks to commit crimes against Blacks, and even rewards them with

lighter sentences if convicted . Black life is cheap . Black womanhood is

not honored. One may destroy either with both ease and relative

protection . All this could be radically changed by a nation-wide

organization of the race with a new outlook program of a new kind of

educational system, training when needed and, above all, enterprises as

a job-creating system-the very first moves toward the creation of the

kind of society that will give both pride and inspiration to black youth,

and the kind of society that will have positive alternatives to crimes, and

one to which every prisoner can return with hope . In such a society the

very expression "ex con" or "ex" anything else would be rigorously

banned. This would be a part of the new education about which I have

spoken . All talk about "reform" and "rehabilitation" is just so much

nonsense until society itself is reformed, for you can never rehabilitate

men and women who have never been habilitated in the first place .

You can never re-form those who have never been allowed to be

formed. Black society still has the spiritual qualities for the task. What is

needed now is an honest, and unselfish collective leadership .

I have gone into some details in both outlining the most disturbing

spots cast by the darkening shadows of history and also trying to

pinpoint what the possible signs of promise are . For the black world,

history's Watchman could see no sign of promise, no sign of hope

outside of a position of strength which unity alone can provide . But

there will never be a real unity without a plan and a program to sustain

it. Petty power struggles, bickering and attacking each other are all signs

of a death wish as a race . "Which way, then, you still enshackled[/b]

[b]These offenders do not know that they are enlisted in the white man's

army to slowly destroy the race. The War takes many unsuspecting

forms, including the big and increasingly widespread use of narcotics

among Blacks ; and an armed surrounding suburbia, trained by "Sportsmen"

gun and target "clubs" ; nation-wide "task forces," specially trained

for inner-city operations, the list goes on and on .

The community must be made safe for people to live and work,

happily and without fears for themselves or their children . Therefore,

the Blacks themselves must have a program . Here is where "community

control," about which we hear so much, should begin . First, anti-crime

steps might be widespread information (which is education) about the

true meaning of Blacks' crimes almost exclusively against Blacks, and

secondly, community development plans are designed to create more

opportunities for all . There are other possible programs that could

radically reduce crime, programs short of the final step . For, if all else

fails, the community, each community, should open an all-out war

along lines determined by the community . No such final course will be

necessary, however, if the black community becomes a truly functioning

community in fact . For then there would be so much work to be done in

an overall race movement that the so-called criminal, in jail or out,

would have a society not only to return to, but one that welcomes him

warmly and needs him (or her) urgently .

As things now stand all this talk about "returning to society" is sheer

idiocy . What society? The only society I know about is as criminal and

oppressive outside of the penal institutions as are its representatives

inside of them . The big difference is only in the bigness of society in

general, the bigness of crime "off the street" and up in high places, and

the bigness of the hostility to, and rejection of the men coming out of

prisons by the very same society to which they are expected to return

and adjust!

We are, whether we realize it or not, imprisoned inseparably with our

confined prisoners, ex-prisoners and those who are headed for places

behind walls . We are together. Who is going to be murdered, then?

Raped? Robbed? The whites? Of course not, and for several clear-cut
reasons.

The first may not seem obvious . But Blacks who so readily make

criminal attacks on their own people are, unconsciously, striking out

against the unbearable situation of what appears to be permanent[/b]

[b]enterprise for just about everything, even in all-black neighborhoods

before the whites left their own exclusive sections . But the shock did not

affect their dependent mentality . In an all-black community of 100,000

people there were only 3 black-owned grocery stores-and very small

ones at that, compared with 75 white-operated stores . Not a single

black-owned hardware store (7 white) or laundry (15 white-owned

laundramats), etc . In a city of nearly a million Blacks there is not a single

black-owned department store or any other important enterprise . We

have left it all to the whites, just as though they alone can create jobs

and job opportunities .

The perpetual hat-in-hand cry of poverty must end . What we have

too much of is the poverty of spirit . Nor will the lack-of-finance alibi

stand, for in spite of our lower incomes, we waste millions in luxuries .

What we lack is the chain-store vision and the enterprising spirit that

organizes groups fully able to launch large-scale community-financed
undertakings.

The white withdrawal created city-wide black communities . Most of

the first class services went to the suburbs . The Blacks must now fill the

gaps on all fronts, must prove their worth . The time for big talking is

over . The time for big action is here . That is why a nation-wide

movement for unity in one vast organization of millions is the road to

constructive action through the various black communities of the
country .

WANTED: ALL
PRISONERS TO ENLIST!

Organizing the race for action must include a carefully developed

plan for tapping and drawing on some unused and rejected sources of

sources of strength . These are our prisoners and former prisoners . For

among the many problems which the Blacks themselves must solve is

crime, and primarily because almost all crimes committed by Blacks are

against Blacks, not whites . There must be some program of action in

sheer self-defense . Both crime and the fears for safety it breeds will

begin to disappear in the black community only when some such

programs for unity, for opportunities, and public education as outlined

in this work gets underway .[/b]

[b]The obstacles to unity are so great that the outlook is both discouraging

and frightening to all but the strong with the will to both survive and

overcome . The very first major obstacle to be overcome involves a

mental revolution out of which Black America faces up to the stark

reality that white America as a whole is its enemy, that Blacks will be

recognized only in a subordinate role, that the scattering of black officeholders,

high and low, really means nothing to the race as a whole, that

there are actually two sets of laws as administered-one for whites and

one for Blacks, just as there are two sets of wages and prices ; and finally,

that the Blacks' loyalty and devotion to the whites, in spite of all they

have done and still do against them, mystifies the whites themselves and

confirms anew their belief that such humble-dog attitudes indicate

inferiority independently of everything else .

Until Afro-Americans are quite clear in their own minds about their

real situation in this country, all talk about unity and achieving equal

justice will be just that-useless talk. But with a clear understanding of

reality, the specific studies and planning for a broad program for

securing racial unity and progress can begin .

No one would propose that 35 million Blacks be brought under a

single umbrella of leadership . Nor is that necessary . But an organizing

national conference should develop a program designed to form

hundreds of organizations into one vast national body of millions, with

each society carrying on its own functions as before except in matters

concerning the whole race, or organize by families and individuals,

community by community and state by state . Where the matter concerns

the whole race, affiliated groups would speak in one voice through the

overall organization of the race.' But since the overall Race Organization

will be directly involved in promoting definite Action programs on all

fronts, the members of all affiliated groups will also be members of the

overall Race Organization .

The separatist movement of whites gave Negro integrationists another

shock, showing them how utterly dependent they had been on white

[b]Organizing
A Race for Action

JUST AS IT IS IN THE CASE OF AFRICA AND BLACK PEOPLE

everywhere, the central problem of over 35 million Blacks in the

United States is unity . Nothing will ever be achieved by such a

minority group in white America, nothing that leads to real adjustment

for progress, until a powerful unity movement among Blacks develops

throughout the United States . This must be done to achieve full

recognition even as men and women, not to mention full citizenship .

As a larger and larger measure of nation-wide unity is achieved, the

next two steps should be in the direction of charting a practical line of

advance and of action, once the courses of action are carefully and

sensibly planned . The picture of several thousand black organizations,

each independent and vying for leadership, is substantially the same

picture of fragmentation and disunity in Africa that led to the downfall

of the whole race . We have also seen that even in earliest times very

often all that was involved was that somebody wanted to be the

"head," was not getting there fast enough and, therefore, organized his

own little state . Most of them perished, picked off' one by one . The

same thing will happen to any black organizations, standing alone, that

disturbs the white mind .[/b]

[b]the white man has mingled his blood with non-white peoples from

times immemorial, in no other people was the outcome a hostile "race"

within a race . No other non-white people with Caucasian blood,

whether Indian, Japanese or Chinese, feel any compelling reason for

integration (a code word for amalgamation) with the whites . Quite the

contrary, they resist it as a policy or an acceptable general practice .

The only hope for the kind of racial unity that will really liberate the

Blacks in America and command the respect of the world will be a new

kind of mass organization on a scale with an action program never

before attempted . This will require a new kind of leadership, a leadership

with the single purpose of helping the masses up towards a better life .

We are noted for our countless organizations, large and small . Each is an

independent kingdom, struggling to become an empire under a Great

Chief. This is inevitable in the circumstances . But as the history of

Africa, not one of these, standing alone, can meet the mounting crisis of

the race . If they will not unite, the race need not continue in despair

because of the unyielding pride of individual leaders . A people's mass

organization movement can override all obstacles . But will this be done?

The subtitle of this book, Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B .C. to

2000 A.D., has puzzled some readers . 2000 A.D.? That is the end of this

century, and we are not there yet! This subtitle, however, not only

reflects the author's conviction that the main obstacles which confronted

us in the past and are with us today will still be with us in the year 2000

and after, but also that for the rest of this century it is very likely that the

Blacks will still be meeting, listening to and applauding fiery, soul-stirring

speeches, protesting and denouncing injustices or happily relying

on politics as the ultimate solution of our problems . The frustrations,

confusion of goals, and a sense of helplessness are likely to continue into

the next century . What black. youth began as the foundation for a new

and mighty advance may be, and, indeed is being, defeated .

But whether the task of what must be done is undertaken by this

generation or left to the next, one thing is certain : It can never be said

again that the black race does not know exactly what to do, or that not a

single member of the race ever carefully studied and then presented a

Comprehensive Plan as one way out . For the final pages of this work

offer such a PLAN . It is not THE PLAN, but A PLAN - a comprehensive

basis for beginning and improving -but beginning .[/b]

[b]destroy even at its inception by forcing the black youth of America more

directly under white education, direction and control-a vengeful striking

back at black youth for starting a revolt against their mental enslavement

in the first place .

In a panel discussion with three other university presidents, the head

of one major white university said, "Integration is a very misleading

term. Our black students are as separate from the white students as they

are in the general society . And they know it. They come because of the

vast number of special scholarships offered to them . This is a wise

program from our point of view . It brings more of the future black

leaders into a more traditionally American environment . . . We are not

disturbed by their demand for black studies, for these, of course, will be

gradually phased out as their emotions cool . . . "

That same month (May, 1971), a Negro professor declared, "Black

studies are ridiculous in any university . I am not black, and I will not

join in this new hypocrisy . I am a Negro; yet outside the United States I

am considered white ."

On a recent TV program, the head of a "militant" "black" movement

went even further . In response to a question, he said, "Look at me! I am

neither Black, Negro, nor African . I am a Moor. My roots are in Asia!

(He was born in Mississippi .) "But," the moderator pressed, "you call

your movement a black movement?" "Ah!" the great "Moorish" leader

replied, "That's strategy," apparently satisfied that the black masses did

not hear him or, if they did, would not understand .

Quite relevant to all this, I have made several points above . One was

that, notwithstanding the white man's well developed system of maintaining

disunity within the African race, he is still disturbed by any signs

of a movement towards unity among Blacks, and goes into action in

many subtle ways to offset it . The important point is the most disheartening

. This is the fact that the white man really has nothing to fear from

any effective unity among Blacks for a long, long time because he

himself installs and backs most of the key leaders of the race, two of

which I have just quoted above, and the number is legion . We still have

in the closing years of the 20th century, therefore, exactly the same

unique problem that confronted Africans in Egypt over six thousand

years ago . And we challenge any student of history to point out any

other people who are or have been saddled with a perpetually

disunifying and progress-checking problem of this magnitude . For while[/b]

[b]black organizational movement either as financially supporting members,

or as "advisors," observers or reporters . To bar them from any exclusively

all-black conference is regarded as something a little less than treason or

as some kind of black conspiracy in the making . On the other hand, no

Blacks are ever present at all-white conferences where the fate of Blacks

everywhere is discussed and decided .

Unity among the Blacks has been prevented for so many centuries

that the various mechanisms to keep Blacks disorganized have been

perfected in the Western system of race control . The white man is

keenly aware of the tremendous power of any well organized groups .

But an organization of Blacks on a scope that would represent the voice

of Black America would be a threat and a challenge not only to

continued white domination of Blacks in the United States, but also

foreign policies and practices that affect the lives of African people

elsewhere over the world .

But the apprehension of whites about the possibility of real black

unity appears to be quite as needless now as in the past . For we are still

in the "meeting and talking" stage of our history, and appear not to be

ready even to begin the attack on the obviously built-in obstacles . These

have been pointed out over and over again in this study . They had to be

emphasized and could not possibly be overemphasized, because, in

addition to the historic reasons for our own self-generated disunity, no

other non-white people on earth are in the dangerous situation of

having so many of their leaders selected, appointed, sponsored or

financed by the white ruling classes . In the case of Blacks in the United

States, and the same is true of Blacks elsewhere, these Negro heads of

important institutions and organizations represent the white man's

"indirect rule" over the black community . It is the voice of these

"leaders" that is accepted as the voice of the race . They do indeed have a

great following, drawn almost entirely from the traditional "Negro elite"

or "upper middle class" lawyers, government officials, doctors, professors,

school administrators, scientists, engineers, heads of integrationist

organizations, etc . They are essentially anti-black, anti-African and,

therefore, anti-black studies . Hence their frantic drive for "integration"

which of course, will effectively check the "alarming" development of

pride in race, a sense of cultural identity with one's own blood line, and

a growing knowledge of being members of a race with a record of

achievements unsurpassed by any other people, despite the conversion

of so much that was black to white . This the Negro leadership would[/b]

[b]In this capitalism vs . communism connection, the immediate trouble

confronting the Blacks is that so many millions of them have been made

so wholly dependent on the white race for so many generations that

they have become mentally lazy . For these, dependence has become

comfortable ; it frees them from the initiative, responsibility and planning

required of independent free men and women . "Leave it to the white

folks" has become their unspoken creed . They have not yet come to

realize that this attitude of dependence by so many is responsible for the

whole race being characterized as "children," and men being called

"boys ." To be recognized as men, they seem not to know, they must

aggressively assume the real role of men . And this is why so many black

leaders expect the solution to the so-called "race problem" to be handed

to them on the silver platters of white ideologies . This excuses them

from both the mental tasks of working out their own, and the labor

required for actually carrying through a united action program, first

nation-wide and then world-wide .

It is needless to say what elementary common sense dictates, which is

that when the African people achieve enough unity to develop the

ideological guidelines for their own advancement, they will draw what is

best for them from any or all existing systems as a simple matter of

course. For whatever an African organized way of life might be, they

would not hesitate any more than Stalin and the Soviet leaders when

they brought in capitalists from the United States, Germany and

England-not to adopt capitalism-but to learn those capitalistic skills,

techniques and methods which would be useful in building a great

Soviet Union . The emerging communist states drew heavily on capitalism

when it served their purpose, openly and without apology . Hence,

they became equal with the greatest powers without changing their own

ideology . These observations are addressed only to those who seem not

to know that one may extract what he needs from capitalism and

communism without becoming capitalist or communist .

THE BLACK UNITY THREAT

No one seems to have noticed or understood the signals from the

white world, signals which tell how tremendously important the whites

regard any movement toward unity among the Blacks . Nothing racial

seems to upset them more . That is why they insist on being "in on" any[/b]

[b]Soviet version of communism not only could not serve the interests and

aspirations of the black masses but they do not serve the interest of the

white masses-neither of them . Of course, there would be a much

larger class and a more powerful class of black commissars and black

"Central Committees" if communism should spread over the black

world and more black capitalists if capitalism becomes the prevailing

way of life . In each case we have not a theory or a speculation, but a

plain operating fact that even a fool can see : Both capitalism and

communism have ruling classes that suppress and exploit the people .

The masses of people, like so many masses of puppets, are fed and filled

with the "ideals and principles" of both systems . For these they fight and

die, screaming these ideals as though they were drugged . Voting creates

an illusion of power that does not exist in fact . It works wonderfully well

for the rulers, the real decision-makers, because the people in capitalistic

democracies actually believe they are deciding and running things . One

surprising difference between capitalistic and communistic countries is

that the people in the latter countries know they are powerless .

When the United States assumed the leadership role of holding the

line of white Western power throughout the world, Russia took over a

similar role for the white East European states . The Hammer and Sickle

flag is different than the Stars and Stripes, but each now represents the

same objective : communism seeks to bring the various peoples of the

world under the white supremacy of white communist states under

Russian domination ; our capitalistic democracy aims at doing the same

thing-white rule under American domination . Hence the "Cold War"-

which has nothing to do with Communism itself . The so-called "Cold

War" is, in fact, a contest between two of the strongest white powers for

world domination. Because communism is not the real issue (as capitalism

is not the real issue on the communist side), the United States will

form alliances and give all-out aid and support to a communist country

just as quickly (some say more quickly) as to a non-communist countryanything

to weaken, not communism, but Russia, the chief white challenge

for world rule .

As between these two giants the choice of the Blacks can only be a

choice between two groups of white masters, although the yoke and

shackles of one are attractively painted red . Nor will the Blacks find

their salvation in Mao's China or any "Third World" in which they will

still be in a subordinate position . To be equal they must first stand on

their own feet.[/b]

AND AN AFRICAN IDEOLOGY

The black people of the world have, therefore, come at last to

destiny's crossroads . They must make some fundamental decisions as a

single people. The one hopeful sign is that .they are slowly and painfully

coming to their hitherto beclouded senses, coming to realize that they

are one people with a common destiny and that, no matter how

scattered over the world, the treatment suffered by one black group is

suffered by all . But there is a terrible crisis of leadership at the crossroads.

There is no united leadership group or any real effort to create

one. The great difficulty is that black leaders, again, unlike the Jews, do

not know what their own heritage is . They are almost wholly ignorant of

their own cultural source from which independent, original thinking

springs and progress is inspired . The "Negro" leaders who spearhead

and carry on the campaigns for integration (amalgamation being the

aim) not only do not know the great heritage of the Blacks, they do not

want to know it . They wish to draw on the Caucasian heritage and

become identified with it . They are totally rejected by the whites, but no

matter; they keep on trying, because the white "liberals" do encourage

them to hope by mixing with them from time to time . Other leaders,

equally ignorant of their heritage, simply do not know which. way to

lead . They, too, feel compelled to adopt and follow Caucasian ideologies

because they do not feel free, equal and competent enough to develop

an ideology of their own, an African oriented ideology .

Hence, many, including some black youth leaders from whom so

much was expected, are jumping out of white capitalistic democracy's

frying pan straight into white communism's fire . Neither system was

designed for the black world, yet each is only too anxious to use the

Blacks as they have always been used : A numerical power base for

[b]The first line of action should center around the study and development

of nationwide, people-involved, self-help cooperative programs,

village by village, town by town and block by block . Each community

would do its own development planning, the government's principal

role being to provide advisors, training, technical assistance and loans

when and where these are needed . For people with little or no money,

barter and exchange are the first steps toward economic salvation, the

bases for capital formation . Increased food production should be seen as

for both wealth and health . The main emphasis would be intercommunity

relations between the various language groups in all development

programs . This means agreement plans for each area to specialize

in producing goods needed but not produced in the other regions . This

is the direct route to national unity through cooperation in order to

reach the goals desired in common by all language groups in each

African state . This calls for thinking, planning and hard work . Now it is

just here within the race where integration is not only needed, but it is

mandatory. We shall remain a weak people until we begin the drive for

integration of Blacks first of all, instead of battling to integrate with

other peoples .

The second great task of government calls for furthering the home

front economic development by aggressively working for African

economic unity on a scale never before attempted . Interstate trade and

other economic programs designed to deal with Asia and Europe must

begin with unity of action in Africa itself, region by region, and then

inter-regional or continental efforts, if Black Africa is ever to free itself

from the present economic, morass . Nor will we be able to cover our

failures by endlessly sweating and fumbling over South Africa . Black

Africa can never deal effectively with white-ruled areas until it deals

with Black Africa itself first . The foundation for everything we do or

wish to do is economic-a word that simply means wealth enough to be

really independent and having the means to do what must be done .

If we have not noticed that every one of the great black nations

studied rose as the result of a variety of wealth-producing activities

which enabled them to achieve set goals, if we missed this fact, then we

missed the most important lesson they left us in this book . Another significant

fact was the widespread trade between the early African states .

Somehow they overrode the "communications barriers" about which

we now hear so much . The crying first need throughout the African

world, however, is dedicated leaders, not just office-holding bureau-[/b]

[b]other citizens, and without any exceptions whatsoever. This obviously

includes the right of every individual to attend the school or college of

his choice, rent or buy a home wherever he pleases, marry whom he

pleases, white or black, and to freely use all places of public accommodation-

all of which is a far, far cry from the doctrine that all of this

must necessarily include a white presence to be valid, or a mass

movement by the race toward amalgamation . The presence of whites in

any given situation should be incidental, if considered at all . What the

"Negroes" referred to above seem incapable of grasping is the difference

between a "good school" and a "white school," a "good community" in

which to live and a "white community ." To them they are necessarily

the same-continuing evidence of the Caucasian success in capturing

the minds of Blacks .

THE MOTHERLAND
AT THE CROSSROADS

The problem is essentially the same in our African homeland . There,

too, "white" is still the standard of excellence, of what is right, wise and

best . I personally know a number of African presidents and ministers

who will not dare to make important decisions without the guidance of

white advisors, men who often know far less about the questions at

hand than the presidents and their ministers . But they all feel the need

for a white seal of approval.

The Blacks, therefore, still have a long way to go in order to achieve

absolute equality as free men among free men . They have a long way to

go in the United States and the numerous other areas in which they live

all over the world .

In Africa, at this writing, Tanzania leads in the first hard-headed,

masses-oriented, socio-economic program that is expressly designed to

raise the level of life of the whole people, beginning with those lowest

down. It is a truly African program, drawing heavily on African cultural

traditions . It was, from its very inception, too much for those of the

"Elite" who think of independence as a mere transfer of power from a

white ruling class to a black ruling upper class, leaving the masses no

better off than they had been under colonialism . These are the kind of

smug and cocksure leaders who are preparing the ground not for

military coups, but mass uprisings such as Africa has not yet witnessed .[/b]

[b]them that there can be no bigger farce than the "integration" of hated

and oppressed Blacks with the very white enemies who oppress them .

Both the farce of integration and the "everlasting" white enemy are

regularly highlighted in the world's press : race riots in integrated U .S.

armies in Europe and even at war in Indo-China; race riots in camps in

U.S.A . ; race riots on battle ships of integrated U .S . Navy and, in short,

open combat between Blacks and whites when they are forced together

as equals . There is peace and harmony, of course, when the Blacks

humbly "stay in their place"-their subordinate place .

Using the courts to force whites to accept Blacks as equals is quite

futile even when and if all the thousands of court battles are won . White

America is overwhelmingly against "integration ." And white Americans

are no different than other whites throughout the world . The only

instances in their history when integration was welcomed were when

the outcome would put them in a more dominating position, or one of

personal security, money and a prestige they could never otherwise

achieve . Hence, because of the high premium many Negroes give to a

white skin, the most ordinary whites will eagerly marry any black star or

any other Blacks, if they have money . But in no period in history, and

this point is important, have the masses of Blacks sought integration and

general amalgamation with the whites . During all of their travails, their

pride in race was steadfast. Much of the so-called "self-hatred" actually

reflects a sense of futility and despair over lack of leadership and unity

for action . They, the black masses, rejected general integration as a

movement to obliterate the black race as such . The black masses still

reject it . I have pointed out blind alleys into which we are being led by

leaders whose aims and objectives are quite personal and not those of

the black masses .' These black masses demand absolute equality on all

fronts, precisely the same rights, privileges and responsibilities as all

1 . No one should presume to say what the attitude of any large group

of people is without learning what it is directly from the people

concerned . Our "study of viewpoints" began in 1955 . The survey

started at Tuskegee with 52 school supervisors, principals, teachers and

graduate students from 12 states. They were to conduct polls from time

to time in their respective states over a period of years .- No formalities .

No rush. Just two simple questions : "Do you want integration? (3) Why?

(for either "yes" or "no."[/b]

[b]Facing this reality does not call for increasing hatred or screaming and

utterly futile denunciations . Far from it. For all these shouting emotional

outbursts by Blacks are in themselves indications of weakness, because

they becloud the mind and prevent the calm and clear thinking that is

absolutely required for planning if the race is to be saved from final destruction.

"Destruction" is not too strong a term here . Only fools will be

unable to see that the race is again being hemmed in, surrounded by its

enemies, and cannot survive forever under what might be called a state

of gradual siege . Those "Negroes" who are still pleading with the whites

for brotherhood through "integration" are so deaf and blind that they

are unable to get the white enemy's reply to these frantic pleas for

acceptance through integration .

The reply of whites was so loud and clear that it was heard around

the world : When segregation in schools and residences was outlawed

throughout the United States, whites fled from the cities to the suburbs

just as though a plague had struck, or some deadly disease was spreading .

The Blacks were left alone in the cities, now called ghettoes or the "inner

city." This was rejection, total, complete . The black youth of America

got this message from the whites first, and they got it -quickly . They

formed new battle lines . Several millions of "Middle Class" Negroes and

their leaders have not received the message yet, and probably never

will. For them the white man is the ship and all else is the sea . They

themselves do not feel competent to develop the highest standards of

life in the all-black communities created by the very whites they so

much worship . For them, there can be no "quality education" unless, by

hook or crook, some white faces, any kind of white faces, are in the

classrooms . Their main drive is to force the fleeing whites to accept

them or, "Please, 0 you superior people, allow us to bus some of our

children to your schools!" As they achieve these hollow victories on the

integration front, they add a new cry : "Give us racial balance!"

These Negroes have neither the ethnic pride nor the self-respect that

is so characteristic of the American Indians, Japanese and Chinese ; and

they seem utterly insensitive to being openly rejected by the whites, and

battle on with the fantastic idea that they can force the whites to accept

them socially .

One major reason why young Black America understood the white

position so quickly was that by some happy circumstance in history they

were more closely attuned to the great common people and, therefore,

shared their common aspirations and common sense No one has to tell[/b]

how the black people of the world stand today after a summary review

of at least 6,000 years of their history . And, whether the focus is on

Africa, the Caribbeans, the Americas or elsewhere, they are now seen

standing at the Crossroads of history, and confused .

The Black World
at the Crossroads

ONE OF THE MOST TROUBLESOME FACTS IN THE STUDY OF

history over very long periods of times, such as several centuries, is that

a truth may slowly emerge, period after period, until it clearly forms

itself into a truth impregnable, a fact nowhere explicitly stated as such in

the mass of data covered . As one continues to move on down through

the centuries, countless events and situations may continue to make

supporting additions to what has already -been established as an unassailable

fact . Yet that truth may be so repugnant, so utterly void of any

rational or intelligent reason for its existence, that hardly any historian

would wish to state it in his work .

Yet I did just that when I wrote that "the whites are the implacable

foe, the traditional and everlasting enemy of the Blacks ." The compelling

reason for publicly putting this declaration in its historical context is

clear : The necessary re-education of Blacks and a possible solution of

racial crises can begin, strangely enough, only when Blacks fully realize

this central fact in their lives : The white man is their Bitter Enemy . For

this is not the ranting of wild-eyed militancy, but the calm and unmistakable

verdict of several thousand years of documented history . Even

the sample case-study of ten black states in this work shows that each

and every one of those states was destroyed by whites[/b]

[b]supposed Communist threat . Rich European nations no longer need to

maintain their`usual armies for defense, for their Great White Brother,

Uncle Sam, will gladly draft men to keep American forces there .

American armed might is everywhere, ready to rush in to play the selfassigned

role . This new world mission of the United States replaces, as

far as it can, the more direct rule of the Western powers over the nonwhite

peoples . The threat to Black Africa and black people everywhere

should be obvious .

From the very beginning, for example, the American secret policy was

to give little or no assistance to Africa . Outright grants, such as the

billions poured into Europe, were never expected by the black nations .

The Africans had sense enough to know that such free gifts were for

whites only . But they did expect to secure loans on reasonable terms of

repayment. The American attitude on loans to African states turned out

to be about the same as it would have been if they had been begging for

free grants . There was a very definite African policy, however . The

policy was not to announce the policy . There was a public announcement

of what was intended as a "policy" early in the 1960s . It is said to Africa,

in effect, that the United States would continue its friendly interest and,

as always, said little or nothing in the matter of loans . Other friendly

advice included the well-known information that they could apply to

the World Bank . The big American air and military base in Ethiopia

made it a favored African state like Libya . American investments in two

other African states enabled them to secure loans .

Black nations that might overcome the foreign economic stranglehold

within their countries by increased production and exports for foreign

exchange find their export trade blocked by the tariff walls of the same

United States and the same European powers whose industrial machines

would be crippled without the wealth, mineral resources and basic

strategic materials they still control and ship out of Africa . In a word, the

Blacks neither own nor control the wealth of their own land . Supposedly

free again, they are unable to rebuild even as well as their migrating

forefathers did before the Arab and European conquests . As shown in

previous chapters, freed of the white man's control, a control from

whichh most of them were fleeing,'they were overriding all obstacles and

successfully building and rebuilding new states until they were finally

overtaken in the 19th and as late as the beginning of the 20th century .

The overall View from the Bridge, then, is simply the view of where and [/b]

[b]public and private, does this not reassure them every day that they are,

indeed, members of the supreme ruling race?

The "View from the Bridge" had to focus first on the United States'

because so much points to this land as the place where the first major

racial explosion is likely to occur . One would think that South Africa

feels more secure with huge American investments and military backing

than America itself is .

A VIEW OF THE MOTHERLAND

This brings us to the main reason for the focus on America . It quickly

assumed the role of the whole white west as the various powers were

forced from their imperial rule in Asia and Africa-forced, that is to say,

from direct political rule, or the political functions of colonialism. The

world at large, in the greatest misconception of modern times ; took this

to mean African independence at last, African freedom and the end of

European colonialism . The plain truth is that the African states today

are not even half free and independent, for colonialism was from the

beginning exactly what it is today, an economic system for the control

and exploitation of the wealth of other peoples .

It was and it is a private enterprise system . Colonial government was

initially company government . When the political task got too big

because of the increasing rivalries between the great powers, the mother

countries would appoint colonial governors and other administrators . In

other words, government by the home country came in as a protecting

umbrella for the main objective : economic exploitation . That economic

control still prevails all over Africa . It is not "neo-colonialism," but the

old colonialism itself, still carrying on under the beautiful and high

flying flags of "independent" African nations . The various mineral

resources are so vast and involve so many billions of dollars that

individual Africans, called upon to decide whom they will serve -their

people or the masters of the country's wealth-often decide to serve the

latter . The fact that Africa is still in economic bondage to her former

political masters brings us back to our point of departure .

As the more political colonialism disappeared, the United States

rushed in to fill the breach, to take up the banner as the "Leader of the

Free World" (the Atlantic or Western powers), The American military

bases scattered all over the world have meaning far beyond any[/b]

[b]in relatively few hands . When these poor whites secure the kind of jobs

that move them up in that gloryland called "Middle Class," they get the

most concrete evidence of their innate superiority . They find that the

economic system is so structured that, (1) to secure better jobs and

advancement, the number one qualification is to be white ; (2) that even

where only a token number of non-whites are employed, they may be

required to have college degrees (and sometimes the Master's) while the

higher salaried whites, including the supervisors, may not have a high

school education . These are not merely "may" and "may not" theories .

In the United States the official statistics show that, nation-wide, black

college graduates not only earn $1,040 a year less than white high school

graduates, but they earn less than a white 10th grader . The white

college graduates averages $3,095 more than the black college graduate ;

(3) Blacks must pay more to live than whites . The lower wages they

receive and the higher prices they must pay are built-in guarantees that

they will always occupy an inferior place in the society . Merchants now

generally have two prices for the same goods, one "black" and one

"white." With the uneducated Blacks they are having a field day . They

are equally successful in robbing the educated black "middle class"

because of its abiding faith and status-striving complex . These are the

"Negroes" who readily pay $225 a month for a house just vacated by

whites who rented it for only $125, and "Negroes" who buy $25,000

homes listed to whites for from $5,000 to $10,000 less-provided, of

course, that "white folks previously lived there ." And the "Inner City"

food markets charge higher prices for cheaper brands of canned goods

and equally high prices for leftovers from their first class stores in surrounding

white suburbia ; and (4) the insurance companies face this

economic war on the Blacks boldly and actuarially . They simply charge

Blacks more for less benefits . Blacks must pay much higher premiums

than whites for life insurance, for example, because it has been

determined that their life expectancy is 10 years less than that of the

whites. For the insurance industry it is strictly a matter of business . They

know that the total economic system is so structured against the Blacks

that it is impossible for them to maintain proper health standards . Being

Black, they must die first-by 10 years .

All this gives comfort and assurance to the poor and once-poor "silent

majority ." They feel that they have every reason to be silent, for does

not this silent and secret war against the Blacks, carried on every hour of

their existence and deeply structured in the very fabric of national life,[/b]

[b]Something different developed in Black America for, whereas, in

most other parts of the world the Mulattoes form an elite caste, this is

true only of certain groups in the United States-such as the Wezots of

Maryland and Virginia (also known by other names) and their spill-over

in Washington, D .C . In general, the divided loyalties split them as anti-

African and pro-African, which is the way it always has been .

The "view of the bridge" thus far has been a refocus on the futility of

our continuing and child-like faith in the white man's justice, and belief

that our protests, marching demonstrations, singing and praying will

change his six thousand years of hostility to us; and that the Negroes

who frantically battle for admission to white surburbia, and to its

private clubs, golf courses, swimming pools, etc ., will never be welcomed

even though they many be "near-white" in color . The final focal point in

this connection is that the masses, from the blackest of the Blacks to the

lightest of the lights, do not care at all about socially mixing with the
whites.

They, the whites, on their part, have no reason or inclination to do

more than make token concessions from time to time, thus quieting

noisy "leaders," but never changing the inferior situation of the masses .

They still own and control the wealth of Africa, directly and indirectly,

and from it, along with that from other areas of the world, they have

developed technologies and a world commerce-all fully protected by

governments, also under their control, that assure them of continued

white supremacy. This phenomenal success, this unquestionable

"position of strength," derived from their conquests of other peoples

and their wealth, has led them to believe that they are, as a matter of

fact, the superior people and, therefore, the rightful rulers of this planet .

Why, then, should they be expected to yield? "Human Rights?" "Equal

Justice?" What are these but narcotic slogans for the masses, even the

white masses, which are quickly conceded as "ideals" and "principles"
everywhere?

The masses of poor whites also live on these slogans and ideals of

equal justice. They are a pitiful people, often half-starved themselves,

yet living and having their being in the happy thought that they are

members of the white conquering race, and that the once enslaved

Blacks among them are living evidence of their own superiority . They

enjoy the glory reflected from the domination and power achieved by

the ruling minority of their race, too ignorant to realize that they are

used as the tools of hate to support their wealth and power concentrated[/b]

[b]the very idea of "community control" because it presents the possibility

that irate parents might demand the removal of the merely jobholding

and indifferent principals and teachers .

8. The millions of Africans of mixed blood who have always been

steadfast and devoted to the race know that when the white man gives

them a preferential status above the "unmixed," but always below

himself, he does so to maintain the myth of superior "white blood ."

Their redemption from the sin of African blood is proportionate to the

amount of "white blood" in their veins . Indeed, if one is light enough, or

near-white, he may even be appointed Secretary of a Department of the

U.S. Government, and a member of the President's Cabinet-and still

not equal.

Furthermore, white America has found that their purposes were

served best by classifying as "Negro" all persons with any amount of

African blood, no matter how small. This obvious injustice has never

been openly challenged even by those directly affected and who bitterly

resent being so classified .

But the United States refused to follow either the South African

system of making their Afro-Dutch offsprings a separate ethnic group

by law and calling them "Coloureds," or the ancient practice of Egypt

and the Arab world of classifying mixed breeds as "white ." This fact has

had a tremendous impact on integrationist Negroes in the United

States, leading many to identify with the Arab world, rather than

Africa ; and even to adopt Arabic names, rather than African names . In

fact, because of their powerful hold on Africa through the religion of

Islam, and the vast Coloured population in many Arab states, many

white Arabs will publicly state (for African ears) that they are a nonwhite
people .

However, even if the United States did attempt to reclassify this

group as either white or coloured, the millions who are bound to the

African race by unbreakable ties of love would fight such a move to its

death . These have no desire to be either white or "coloured ." For like

the late Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, who could have passed for

"white" anywhere in the world, they would say, "Call me Black!"-knowing

full well that "Black" refers not to anyone's color (for which none is

responsible), but "Black" defines one's attitude towards the homeland

of his ancestors which from times immemorial was called "The Land of

the Blacks ."[/b]

[b]African in spirit and are as devoted to the race as anyone else, the

crucial question is how long will this other white oriented group be

allowed to block the real progress of the race?

5. Those who seek and hope for admittance into white society should

not be criticized or condemned . As previously stated, it is an individual

matter of choice, and it is both natural and right if their "blood-call" is to

the white race rather than to the Black . But they cannot be allowed to

use their imposed leadership positions to brow-beat all Black Americans

into the line of march toward white society per se, and thus towards the

ultimate extinction of Blacks as such in this country : It is along this line

against their benign genocide that the real battle for survival as a distinct

people must be fought.

6. The drive for "integration" is most damnable on one score alone : It

is a deliberate and stepped-up attack on the most significant aspects of

the Black Revolution of the Sixties . That Revolt was the reversal in the

psychology of the race, a quest for its lost manhood by first emancipating

the mind from the bondage of over-Caucasianization, and to establish

forever .the real basis for equality with the rest of mankind from the

rediscovered pages of a history that was supposed to be "lost" because it

reveals a long line of giants unsurpassed by any people on earth .

The Negro integrationists are hostile to the Black Revolution, and aim

to defeat its main aims by forcing the black children and youth of the

nation more directly under "white education ." Once again, as in slavery,

they will be cut off not only from the history of their race, but they will

also be cut off from a knowledge of all the other fields in which Blacks

have excelled, and from which comes the inspiration to "go-forth and do

likewise ." The great mental revolution among the Blacks that eventuates

in more and more self-respect and a new sense of manhood and self

worth, all this alarms the Negro integrationists, and they are resolved to .

defeat it by keeping the Blacks firmly under the mind control of white

institutions.

7 . They are absolutely right about the general lack of "quality education"

in black schools, the very schools in which they are the principal

supervisors and teachers . But their minds and interests are elsewhere .

"Ghetto" children are unteachable, they assure themselves . And they

and their equally misguided principals and teachers of all kinds will

fight to the death a Clark or any other plan that is expressly designed to

improve the teaching and learning processes in black schools . They fear[/b]

They are proclaiming to all the world that, regardless of general desegregation,

in any all-black or predominantly black population, the Blacks

themselves are utterly incapable of achieving or maintaining high standards

of excellence in education or, indeed, anything else . Here we

have, Within the race, the intolerable situation of an anti-black group

proclaiming the race's inherent inferiority more effectively than the

whites ever could, precisely because this group is regarded as "black ."

Furthermore, and even of greater importance, the amalgamationist

Negroes generally hold most of the administrative and key teaching

posts in the educational system . Through sheer indifference, therefore,

they can block the development of the quality education in black

schools while, at the same time, sending their own children to white

private schools . Their remaining interest in the black schools is the

money derived from their supervisory and teaching positions .

Meanwhile, black students in the so-called integrated schools and

colleges throughout the United States continue to tell the world that

they are as segregated within as they were without. Far from being

accepted, daily insults of various kinds occur inside the classrooms, in

the halls, and on the outside . When fights break out, as they inevitably

do, and the police are called in, -they generally arrest the black students,

not the white students, no matter who started the trouble . A press

report, September 15, 1972, simply read : "During. the recess hour a

black male student was called an offensive name by two white boys and

pushed against the wall . A general fight broke out between black and

white students . Police were called . Thirteen black students were arrested

and jailed ."

Now, of course, all this is public information, and is news to no one .

But some of the salient facts that seem to stand out clearly are as follows :

1 . White America is definitely and unalterably opposed to the integration

and amalgamation of the two races .

2 , Black America, the masses, are equally opposed to the integration

and amalgamation of the races .

3 . The drive for more and more amalgamation is, and always has

been spearheaded by those "coloureds" who maintain a separatist

society within the black race, and who are not, and never have been,

identified with the black masses .

[b]A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE

What, then, is "the view from the bridge"? The outlook is grim . For

the black people of the world there is no bright tomorrow . The Blacks

may continue to live in their dream world of singing, dancing, marching,

praying and hoping, because of the deluding signs of what looks like

victories-still trusting in the ultimate justice of the white man ; but a

thousand years hence their descendants will be substantially where the

race was a thousand years before . For the white people, still masters of

the world, do not have to yield . They have never changed their real

attitude toward black people during all the passing centuries, and there

is absolutely nothing upon which to base the belief that they will change

in the centuries to come . Concessions on some demands, yes . Expediency

dictates this . Noting that the black masses accept as leaders any

and all "Negroes" who hold important positions, the whites, who

control these positions directly or indirectly, actually determine who the

leaders of Blacks shall be as independent black organizations emerge .

The dangling attractions of government and foundation grants are there

to quiet the outspoken but money-hungry "leaders ." Indeed, some of

these leaders were quick in discovering that the most certin route to a

handsome grant or "loan" is pretended outrage and shouting "militancy ."

The whites know this all too well . They are quite willing to pour

millions of dollars into all kinds of black community projects precisely

because they know that these phony leaders will do nothing that will

really improve the conditions under which the black masses live .

Blacks are still hopelessly naive if they do not yet understand that the

whites never did, and do not now, intend to include Blacks in the

doctrine of human equality, equal justice or anything else that means

real equality . The white determination to keep Blacks in an inferior

position is so deep that they will battle against the enactment of civil

rights laws even when they know there will be no real enforcement . The

opposition is to the very idea of equality .

Those Negroes who are so frantically fighting to escape from the

African race by way of "integration" and amalgamation will continue to

meet everlasting and universal opposition from the whites . The Negro

drive to be with whites in every situation is equalled by the white determination

to prevent it . Yet the whites must truly feel a deep sense of

pride in seeing this Negro leadership so clearly validating their own

[b]The worst outcome from the forced migrations all over Africa in the

long search for places of refuge and freedom were the endless splintering

off of societies into countless little isolated states . Overall, it is difficult to

see how it could have been otherwise . They had to split up . Unity, in

terms of keeping a very large group together, was impossible . Seldom

could 10,000 people move en masse, not to mention 100,000 . And

100,000 would be a small number if it was a great state that was being

disorganized and destroyed . If they were being attacked by invaders,

not only expediency but life itself dictated that they split up into small

groups, each under an elected leader . In this way both the chances of

escape from the enemy and of finding food and water somewhere were

better than would be the case if they moved in one vast body . Some of

these separated groups did indeed meet again by chance before they

had become total strangers to each other. These often settled in the

same general region and near enough to each other to maintain the

same language . Others met again, generations after the original segmentations,

as strangers speaking in different tongues and with different

patterns of culture- "strangers," yet all descendants from the same

society . Worse still, the Blacks have been so busy being "different"

through all these years that they have been unable to see that underlying

all of their cultural varieties is the compelling evidence that they are all

members of the same race and have the same common origin .

The most remarkable outcome of the migrations, with their fragmentations,

disunities and interminable turmoil and crises is that they held

on, tenaciously, to the same democratic and political systems and the

same social institutions maintained from one end of Africa to the other,

just as though they were still members of one and the same vast African

society . This fact was immediately reflected in the institutions and

political structure of every new state that emerged during all those

centuries of migrations . Just as the Council told Ethiopian kings what

they could and could not do, the same remained true throughout the

continent where black rule prevailed according to tradition . This was

why, 3,000 years later and 3,000 miles farther south, a Shaka could

complain bitterly because the Zulu Council of "yes men" failed to check

him in his excesses . Finding himself an absolute autocrat, he was

surprised to find that he had been allowed to get away with it .[/b]

[b]from without, fears of betrayals by unknown followers from within,

fears of attacks by other migrating Blacks who were themselves fleeing

from danger, fears of hunger, ever-mounting disease and of the alarming

number of deaths . These fears of all kinds were a disease-.all producing

an alarming source of mutual suspicions and distrust . Centuries of this

produced the amazing outcome : Blacks became their own worst enemies

and, therefore, increasingly a helpless people .

The migrations were the moving phenomena in the tragedy . For

while we have seen that many of them ended with the rebirth of new

states from one end of the continent to the other, states that stood until

Arabs and Europeans delivered the final deathblows, millions of other

Blacks were unable to achieve this temporary glory . These were the

Africans whose daily task was sheer survival-nothing less, nothing

more. Every one of their communities had four to six months of each

year which everyone knew as "Starving Times"-the period when

children ate dirt and the bark from trees ; when it was a great occasion if

food enough could be found for two or three meals a week ; when to

find a water hole or a little stream that had not completely dried up was

even more joyful than finding something to eat, and a time, when some

mothers would steal away into the bush with their little skeleton-like

children with swollen bellies to die quietly in the shade-this was

"Starving Times ." During this awful period of hell on earth even the

better-off cattle-raising groups outside of the tsetse fly regions suffered

great losses in herds as they wandered far and wide in the frantic search

of unparched grassland and water .

In none of this are we dealing with the merely unusual misfortunes

which are occasionally visited upon almost every people . No . We are

dealing here with the unusual, something quite different in the general

experience of mankind, for we are reviewing here a permanent situation

which, in combination with the forces outlined in foregoing pages,

destroyed the civilization of an entire race, checked progress, and forced

countless thousands into barbarism . These were the people who sought

freedom and security in the forests, swamps and caves . Some, unable to

advance under these conditions, nevertheless battled against sinking to

the level of savages ; some rebuilt their states even in the vast forests and

still others, famine-crazed, became savages or semi-barbarians . Many of

the groups that descended to this lowest state of existence were isolated

in areas where "Starving Times" was not a period of months but of
years .[/b]

[b]resistance to slavery continued while the continent was being depopulated

by it with the active participation of many black chiefs and kings seeking

wealth and the white man's promise of security from all of their black
fores .

The third battle lines for survival were, therefore, internal, and points

up one of the main contributions they made towards their domination

by other peoples . As time went on they became so preoccupied with

warring against each other that they seemed to regard the whites as

friends by comparison . This seeming contradiction is baffling . For while

there is nothing new about a people fighting among themselves, they

generally stop if outsiders attack, forget their differences and join united

ranks against the common foes . Caucasians will wage frightful wars

against other Caucasians, but will quickly unite, as though by instinct,

against non-whites, not only in wars but in international policies . They

have developed a kind of built-in solidarity in their relations with non-

Caucasian peoples . This fact, as much as anything else, helps to explain

their position as masters of the world .

On the other hand, and in glaring contrast, disunity and noncooperation

have been characteristic of black societies . And this fact, more than

anything else, helps in the understanding not only why the Blacks

eventually lost in their battles against the whites, but also why even

today they are still unable to deal with the white world . This situation of

antagonism, self-hatred and attending disunity in the race is a matter of

such grave concern that I have returned to it again and again throughout

these discussions .

The only reason for dealing with the role played by the Mulattoes in

black history, for example, was to show how baffling and complex the

problem is . For they were used not only to help disguise the most significant

achievements of Blacks, but they were also effectively used to

further enhance and perpetuate the already existing conflicts and divisions

among them . Now they had just as much right to be classified as white

as they did to be classified as black . But they found it expedient to

operate in both worlds, exploiting the Blacks while serving the interests

of the whites . There could never be any clear-cut judgment or defense

against internal subversion along anv color line, because in almost every

black society it was possible to find any Mulattoes who were as loyal to

the race as anyone could be, and, as well, pure Blacks who might be

paid agents of the Arabs or Europeans . The state of Black Africa, then,

was a state of perpetual fears, fears of being hunted down and attacked[/b]

[b]The most important fact here, is that the Greeks were the first Europeans

to know that the most advanced civilization of the ancient world

was in Africa, the first Europeans to study and be directly influenced by

it, and to proclaim it to the world boldly and without reservations .

Indeed, it is from Greek history, including their myths and legends, that

we get some of the best insights into the early history of the Blacks . They

drew upon the Land of the Blacks for architectural designs, city planning,

sculpture, science and even religion . These they reshaped and made

Greek . The Greeks were the best traveling students in the world . In

their relations with Africa, they exemplified, as no other people had, the

eclectic process of civilization and progress-the readiness to borrow

from other peoples the best in their culture, to be reshaped or made

over to suit one's own ideals and needs . Having lost most of our own

written records through destruction, endless displacement, and the

gradual loss of African scribes, the black world owes the debt of

everlasting thanks to those early Greek and Roman writers, but mostly

Greek, who had included much of our ancient history with their own

and passed it down through the centuries . We salute them!

The early disruption of African civilization, as we have seen, was

followed by a long series of absolute blockades to progress . These

included the combined forces of nature : Ever expanding deserts, scarity

of water, hostile climate and the ravages of disease arising largely from

conditions of famine . And yet while the primary causes of disaster had,

from the earliest times, set in motion the dispersions of peoples searching

for survival sites, through it all kingdoms and empires were built,

destroyed, and built again . These were the slow-moving voluntary

migrations from which so many of the small and large societies developed

with different languages and dialects .

The invaders raiding into the continent from Asia and Europe

formed the second centuries-long battlefronts against which the Blacks

had to fight for survival . These wars spanned several thousand years,

and in an earlier chapter I "wondered out loud," and still wonder, how

any people, weakened by perpetual hunger and disease, could possibly

carry on wars of resistance to the white invaders for over 5,000 years .

This they did, and this their descendants must know and remember

with pride : that black resistance to white domination covered over

5,000 years . When the enslavers pressed in upon them from the north,

the east, the west and from the south, they continued the fight ; the[/b]

[b]white slavery ended, after the murderous revolt of white slaves in the

13th century, white slavery ended and thereafter the concentration was

on Blacks, alone . The Jews, being white, and tenaciously clinging to

their own heritage, were able to find escape routes not open to Blacks

anywhere: business, finance and science . They were free to study, and

study they did, surpassing almost all other peoples in the resulting

intellectual supremacy . Learning became a second religion . They had

seen that two of the certain ways to overcome their oppressors were the

mastery of wealth and intellectual excellence . They, therefore, became

moneylenders to emperors, kings and popes . Meanwhile, the Blacks

were still being hunted down and enslaved and, when free, they were

kept as close to the status of slaves as such efforts could achieve . Yet

today we are beginning, just beginning, to learn about the heights from

which they were , driven. One of the highly important things this study

revealed was how the very color of black came to mean "slave," and,

therefore equated with bad luck, inferiority and shame .

We have dared to go beyond the limits and the guidelines set for us by

the czars of history and geography to discover that Ancient Ethiopia

covered North Africa to the Mediterranean Sea, that Egypt was the

northeastern division of that empire, and that even as late as 3100 B .C .

when white Asians held Lower Egypt, Ethiopians still held most of their

homeland in Upper Egypt . In short, almost all of Egypt was as black as

late as 3100 B .C . I say "as late as 3100 B .C ." to emphasize the fact again

that all this is well known to white historians concerned with Africa .

They know because when the earliest Greek and Roman writers studied

in the land, Egypt was still Black Egypt, they knew what the history was

and they left the records . Even when Herodotus arrived, black civilization

was known to be so ancient that its beginning was lost in a distant past

beyond memory . But when he arrived he found a very mixed Egyptian

population of whites, browns, yellows and blacks ; the first three groups

now drawing a line between themselves as Egyptians while giving to the

Blacks the lowest class status along with their original name of Ethiopians

(original as Greek term) . There may have been some justice in this since

when Herodotus was in Egypt, the masses of non-integrating Blacks had

themselves rejected both Egypt and the Egyptian names as the Asians

and Afro-Asians became the majority, and they had concentrated

below a new borderline as Ethiopians in an Ethiopian empire that no

longer included Egypt .[/b]

[b]against the Arabs, now predominantly "Coloured"-and for the same

ancient reasons .

Does anyone wonder why this all-important white-created color

factor is skipped over by white historians? If they were scientific in their

approach and objective in their methods, they would deal with the

Mulatto role in black history, even though it was a major source of white

power and the white man's most effective agent in helping to destroy

black civilizations everywhere they were found . White historians would

really grown in stature if they themselves wrote the story-wrote it as it

was. This will never happen, of course . For they would be recording

how the increasing number of "Coloureds" after each white invasion

made it easy to credit them with all the great advances the Blacks

themselves had made . They, the white writers, would be telling how

these half-Blacks came to be classified as "Caucasoids" and how helpful

this was in obliterating Black Egypt from the pages of history . By this

master stroke, through their own sexual creations, they were able to

erase the Blacks as the first builders of a great civilization and deliberately

rob them of that honor .

The long-drawn out process by which all this was accomplished has

been detailed in this work . It had to be dealt with along with other

factors and forces, because the inferior status of black people throughout

the world today tends to confirm the white man's doctrine that they are

inferior in fact . His whole system, universally applied, was designed to

make them inferior and keep them so . Who, then, in the 20th century,

would believe that these same Blacks were of the race that had built

great cities, developed writing, the arts and sciences when the whites of

Europe were still roaming tribes of barbarian warriors? This being a

well-known (though not publicized) fact of history, how, then, explain

the descent of the Blacks from the heights reached by their forefathers

to the depths in which they find themselves today? This was the central

question in all of our research . Most of the important answers are given

in preceding chapters .

Future research, especially field research, will reveal an even more

amazing story . A study of the general history of mankind reveals no

people who have suffered so much in every area of life and survived .

One thinks immediately of the Jews and the systematic oppression

which they have encountered in every land . But they were not

enslaved-not since the days when whites were generally enslaved

everywhere and slavery had nothing to do with race . We have seen that[/b]

[b]Perhaps the highlights in the hisory of the Blacks-which is all this

work claims to be-would be even more clearly understood if I had

written backward, beginning with the present . For one thing, less

documentation would be required, for by focusing on predominantly

black South Africa, Zimbabwe anc the presentday Sudan, the whole

world could see, almost at a glance, exactly what happened to Black

Egypt many centuries ago . The s:ript of the play, "Whites against

Blacks," is the same . The eternal drive glorifying "white blood" is the

same, finding direct expression in ill Caucasian controlled social and

economic systems: In South Africa the Dutch offsprings by black

women are classified "Coloureds" and ranked as a separate ethnic group

below the Dutch in social and economic status, but far above the

Africans . In Egypt the "Coloureds' gradually became the majority as

more and more whites came in aid more and more Blacks moved

southward . The name "Egyptian" was taken over by the whites and

their northern "Coloureds" as applyng to themselves alone . The Blacks

who were the original Egyptians were no longer called Egyptians, just as

the Blacks in Africa today are no bnger called South Africans there,

only the whites are South Africans .

Both in Egypt and South Africa the scheme was to make the Mulattoes

a separate ethnic group, superior tt the Blacks because of Caucasian

blood, thus creating mutual hatred, that would make unity difficult if

not impossible . By giving all Mukttoes privileges and opportunities

denied to Blacks, the scheme wor':ed not only in South Africa and

ancient Egypt, but it was successful throughout the world and still

operates in the closing years of the 20th century. The white man has

every reason to proudly view his handiwork in managing people and

pronounce it good . In the Sudan thewhite Arabs were so successful that

their "Coloureds" there consider tlemselves Arabs, not Africans, and

look down contemptuously on the Blacks in the Southern Sudan

exactly the same as the Egyptian Cobureds regarded this same once all-

Black region (Ethiopia) centuries ,go . The picture in the Northern

Sudan today, then, is exactly the sane as the picture was in Northern

Ethiopia (Egypt) after it became predominantly Afro-Asian and Afro-

European; and the picture in the Southern Sudan today is the same all-

Black picture Southern Ethiopia (the Sudan itself) presented over two

thousand years ago . And just as their ancient forefathers battled then

against the Egyptian Coloureds, the Blacks in the Southern Sudan at the

very hour these lines were being vritten were still arrayed in battle[/b]
