According to Francis Cress Welsing, there are nine specific points by which white weakness can identified. They are:
1. Economics
2. Education
3. Entertainment
4. Labor
5. Law
6. Politics
7. Religion
8. Sex
9. War
Basically, white weakness has infected these specific areas of PEOPLE ACTIVITY.. white weakness is a weapon that when detonated, destroys only the human being, leaving solid inanimate objects intact, also, leaving no trace of its detonation such as chemical properties, biological or radiological; thus making it a highly effective and efficient weapon.
Take a look at the nine areas of activity and then think about of which of these areas does people THAT LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE OWNERSHIP⦠you couldnât find one.. #3, we may dominate it, but we donât have ownership of it. We also dominated the slave institution, but we didnât own itâ¦
What I am bringing to the table is a viable solution to a common problem we all share. As a RESPONSIBLE BLACK MAN and a MEMBER OF THE HUMAN RACE I am bound by divine law to do what I can despite the opposition. This essay is designed to do one thing⦠Identify the problem⦠Identifying the problem is the second step in an apparent long journey on the road to healing = liberation.
In a lifetime, no one person could effectively mount a defense against the nine strains of white weakness. It is necessary to say this because if you are one who wants to do your part in this problem solving campaign, you will want to attack the problem as a whole.. this is not possible, not efficient, not effective and certainly not intelligent. Of each of these activities, each one of us can find one that we have knowledge about, experience in, or can effect influence in. For most of us, we fit in Activity #2 & #3 simply because of our correlation to poetry and the various discussions we share.
Each of these Activities have sub-categories which means, even the Activity itself cannot be dealt with effectively in its entirety.
At this point, hopefully, you are starting to see the enormity of the problem. And the complexity of the solution.
You have to take this problem solving process in small chunks⦠otherwise you will be unsuccessful in your effortsâ¦
âIf you do not understand white supremacy (weakness)(racism) â what it is, and how it works â everything else that you understand, will only confuse you.â
Neely Fuller, Jr. (1971)
The United Independent Compensatory Code/System/Concept
You see, Poetry is much more than rhymes and open mics⦠Black Poetry IS the mother of politics, religion, and in fact all nine people activities.. so as poets, you have assumed responsibility to uphold the nature of this craftâ¦.
If you havenât already chosen a particular activity to operate in, you should do so now⦠After you do that, this solution is globally fundamental.
1. Forget all you think you know about whatever activity you choose. Chances are that thought is infected with white weakness. That thought has clouded your judgement and you need to have a fresh clean install of thinking⦠which brings me to the second step in the problem solving solution:
2. Trust those who know what they are talking about or at least who know more than you. internalize all the information you can about the problem you understand to be white weakness and how it applies to your field of attack. If you do not TRUST ME, or someone else who speak of this, then chances are, you know someone in your personal real life who talks about this global problem⦠ask them questions and more questions, and talk to people who âsense a problemâ but donât understand how to put a name to it.. talk to everyone about white weakness and learn all you canâ¦
3. Just because you are learning about white weakness, nothing has to change about you as far as profession, socialization, fashion, etc. most people reject taking responsibility for taking a stand on this issue, because they donât want to have to grow dreadlocks, or stop perming their hair, or they donât want to have to start going to the mosque or associate with âpan africansâ none of this is necessary for you to learn the necessary problem solving skills needed to heal=liberate.
4. Find books that are identified on the back as âAfrican or African-American Studiesâ, or one of the people activities that you will be working on changing. I particularly like Half Price Bookstores.. I donât know if you guys have this chain of bookstores in your area, but If you have to buy a book for full price, if you read it and learn from it, itâll be worth it. (Mark posted a list of suggested reading the other day.. hopefully he will attach it to this threadâ¦) if not, I will find it and attach itâ¦
5. Entertainment, such as movies, and music have a two-fold purpose⦠first of all, its not called programming for nothing⦠TV is a form of hypnosis which makes it so understandable that it is the most common electronic component in the house.. so common, that some of us have the hypnotic box in EVERY ROOM including the bathroom.. Continue to watch the TV, only now, instead of watching it for its entertainment value, watch it for its educational value. Meaning, take notice of how people that look like you and me are being exploited in every single program⦠we play certain roles in movies. The reason for this exploitation is simple. If you see this dramatic experience played out onscreen, your brain tells you this is real.. even though you know it is acting⦠if it can make you laugh or cry, get angry, or inspire you to happiness, this is your brain saying this is real⦠thus⦠when you see Black people being exploited on television, your brain is telling you this is acceptable and in your everyday life you ALLOW this occur and even defend it as if it your own thoughtâ¦. But its not, you are being programmed to think this wayâ¦.
6. in order to counter the effects of white weakness, you must learn to defend against it. There is a reason why you see âytâ in the woods with guns and playing war games.. they are actively training for what they believe is coming⦠a great civil war. This war will be race-based so the enemy will be relatively simple to identify with the exception of the few uncle-toms, sell-out fools who think if they work for the otherside they will somehow survive.
Learn how to survive outside, learn the properties of plant life in your area, it may become your next meal for weeks at a time⦠learn how to fight with and without weapons, learn the basics of another language, preferably an African language.. Swahili would be an excellent language to learn and share it with your family certain words that has emergency meaningâ¦
I know that you donât want to live like this; you want to live your life in ignorant bliss, thinking that if you donât know, it doesnât effect you, but you donât have to believe in white weakness, itâs a real thing and it has real effects and consequences for not protecting yourself and those you love against it..
I didnât complete the problem solving part, because honestly, who is going to read this but those who already know what to doâ¦.??
If you DO read this in its entirety, and would like to know the last four lessons⦠feel free to respond to this thread and I will post themâ¦
