BLACK PEOPLE DON’T READ!!
For those of you who heard it, this is the article Dee Lee, Harvard educator, was reading on a New York radio station. For those who didn't hear it, this is what she said:
THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES. We can continue to reap profits through the blacks without the effort of physical slavery. Look at the current methods of containment that they use on themselves: IGNORANCE, GREED, and SELFISHNESS.


Their IGNORANCE is the primary weapon of containment. A great man once said, "The best way to hide something from Black people is to put it in a book." We now live in the information age. They have gained the opportunity to read any book on any subject through the efforts as their fight for freedom, yet they refuse to read. There are numerous books readily available at Borders, Barned & Noble, and Amazon.com, not to mention their Black Bookstores that provide solid blueprints to reach economic equality (which should have been their fight all along), but few read consistently, if at all.


GREED is another powerful weapon of containment, Blacks, since the abolition of slavery, have had large amounts of money at their disposal. Last year, they spent 10 billion dollars during Christmas, out of their 450 billion dollars in total yearly income (2.22%).
Any of us can use them as our target market, for any business venture we care to dream up, no matter how outlandish, they will buy into it. Being primarily a consumer people, they function totally by greed. They continually want more, with little thought for saving or investing. They would rather buy some new sneaker than invest in starting a business. Some even neglect their children to have the latest Tommy or FUBU, and they still think that having a Mercedes, and a big house gives them 'Status' or that they have achieved their dreams. They are fools! The vast majority of their people are still in poverty because their greed holds them back from collectively making better communities. With the help of BET, and the rest of their black media that often broadcast destructive images into their own homes, we will continue to see huge profits like those of Tommy and Kike. (Tommy Hilfiger has even jeered them, saying he doesn't want their money, and look at how the fools spend more with him than ever before!) They’ll continue to show off to each other while we build solid communities with the profits from the business communities that we market them.


SELFISHNESS, ingrained in their minds through slavery, is one of the major ways we can continue to contain them. One of their own, Dubois said that there was an innate division in their culture, A 'Talented Tenth' he called it. He was correct in his deduction that there are segments of their culture that has achieved some form of success. However, that segments missed the fullness of his work. They didn't read that 'Talented Tenth' was then responsible to aid the Non-Talented Ninety Percent in achieving a better life. Instead, that segment has created another class, a Buppie class that looks down on their people or aids them in a condescending manner. They will never achieve what we have. Their selfness doesn’t allow them to be able to work together on any project or endeavor of substance. When they do get together, their selfishness lets their egos get in the way of their goals.


Their so-called help organizations seem to only want to promote their names without making any real change community. They are content to sit in conferences and conventions in our hotels, and talk about what they will do, while they award plaques to the best doers. Is there no end to their selfishness? They steadfastly refuse to see that TOGETHER EACH ACHIEVES MORE (TEAM). They do not understand that they are no better than each other because of what they own, as a matter of fact, most of those Buppies are but one or two pay checks away from poverty. All of which is under the control of our pens in our offices and our rooms. YES, WE WILL CONTINUE TO CONTROLL THEM as long as they refuse to read, continue to buy anything they want, and keep thinking they are 'helping' their communities by paying dues in organizations which do little other hold lavish conventions in our hotels. By the way, don't worry about any of them reading this letter, remember, THEY DON'T READ!!!

Why is it a good read? Its based on stereotypes and group mentality. Which hotels are these that the author is referring to as "we" own? Newsflash, not all white people are rich, the author is just trying to compensate for his/her individual inadequacies by using stereotypes to lump groups of people. And the end is quite condescending too, why does the author assume that I need to prove to society that I read by passing it on. Opinions are like assholes, every one has one, so if this author is of the opinion that blacks don't read, and it makes him/her feel better about themselves, why should I spoil the party by passing it on to prove her wrong. Wouldn't my passing this on justify his/her initial claim that blacks don't read?! So I will unread the crap I just read, NKT!!

pure hate nothing of substance. How many black professors, engineers, pilots, doctors and other professionals are in this world? How many white people are on the streets of kina @kiash begging for a dollar? reminds me of some racist James Watson.

Truth is, most of us don't read nearly enough as we should. How many times have you written down something and people still ask about it?
Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Perhaps also, there's very little to be read. Who wants to read much only to end up a white, and more alienated from himself?

Maybe blacks need to write more of their Ntuology.
