POST LITERATE SOCIETY

We are living in a post literate society. This mean that the masses of the people no longer aspire to be literate. To be literate is to be able to read symbols called letters and words with comprehension. This society has decided to communicate visually and through audio works. This is why video logs and talk radio has over taken the written blog. We never had a hundred percent literacy rate, but to be literate was to be a person who was admired. The readers were expected to be the thinkers and were sought out for advice. Readers and thinkers are ignored now. People even criticize us for reading too much. This is a sad new paradigm that we find ourselves in. I try to make videos where I read to people and give them analysis of literary works. I also read from my journal to share ideas. This is all in jeopardy because it does not provide enough resources for me sustain myself. Survival for my kind may not be possible. In a post literate society writers are expendable. If I am to be extinct I have made my peace with the world and face my death with the same courage that I faced my birth.

 

NELSON MANDELA SPEAKS

Nelson Mandela speaks to me. He says to make sure that everyone knows how his life exposed western philosophy. The western way of life is a survival of the fittest way of life. If anyone tries to introduce a higher level of civilization to western cultures that person is punished. This happens especially when the western world is benefiting physically from a situation. The way of the west is the way of the five physical senses. Mandela was tortured, living behind the walls of a western prison in his homeland watching his brothers and sisters suffer for almost three decades. If the west ever allows the humanitarian to sit in the seat of power they never let that person exercise power in a way that will help anyone on the ground. The west likes to show the symbolism of humanity without the principles. Mandela was freed and became president, but never had the strength to undo the horrors of South African apartheid. Nelson Mandela proved that the western way is not the human way, the sane way, or the conscious way. When everyone is speaking niceties about Mandela, we should remember what the grand message of his life was.

MALCOLM X SPEAKS

Malcolm X speaks to me. He tells me that thinking of the whole of systems in terms of analysis is good no matter what these well adjusted main streamers say. We talk about how a mind on money is a twisted mind not looking to be straightened. We laugh about all the people claim to know Malcolm when they have not studied him at all. Spike Lee's movie was good, but watching it does not mean you know Malcolm X. You have to study the speeches. It is an exciting time because you can watch Malcolm on You Tube. You do not have to work through the texts of his like us old timers. Malcolm X is still so relevant today that I know that many are talking to him. Malcolm X will keep speaking and at least some of us will listen.

SOPHISTICATED SAVAGERY

We now have the ability to communicate around the world in seconds, but we still enforce border controls with weapons of mass destruction if necessary. We have the ability to build high speed rail from shore to shore, but we still use planes that burn enormous amounts of fuel to travel and dumps fuel on who ever lives near airports when it lands. We can print objects in our homes, but we still have factories and wages. We have the ability to expand our consciousness to realize our cosmic natures, but we still inflict ethnic cleansing on each other. We have the most sophisticated possibilities in one of the most savage societies ever.

WILLIAM BLAKE SPEAKS

William Blake speaks to me. We talk about how New York City is declining the way Blake's London Regressed. We have soldiers coming home broken or dead. New York City's children are exploited every day. The most hopeless are ignored at best and killed at worse. Violence and corruption run wild. Blake and I also discuss the condition of the Black Boy. When a black boy dies before its time we rejoice because we know the energy inside him has ascended. The ascended black boy no longer has to live in a community that embraces a knock out game. I know because I was a black boy and I wish to ascend every day.  Until my moment comes I will continue to speak to William Blake across time and space.

THE KNOCKOUT GAME

The knockout game is a game where a group of young men will coax one member to punch an unsuspecting person to see if they can knock that person out with one punch. This game is played mostly by young men of color. I do not know where the game originated, but it is popular now. It does not matter who introduced the game to our fractured community, our young people are insane enough to play. The knock out game lays the last lambs out for slaughter. Now anyone can kill a group of young men and say I was afraid that they were going to try to knock me out. Maybe young men in this community want to die. Maybe we are too ancient of a people to continue to exist here. Maybe we are old souls driven mad by our imprisonment in third dimension. Sometimes when you are exhausted you give up and our young men have given up on humanity with games like The Knockout Game.

AMERICAN NEGRO MUST DIE

This planet can no longer embrace the American Negro. The Negro must die out. Our minds have been fed stupidity through the American school system for too long. It seems that we have become cozy in the stupid state of being. We are highest on all of the bad lists and low on all of the high lists. With this reality our young men are taking part in more violence. They are so violent now that there games are to harm other people. Our young ladies are twerking, stripping, or creating porn sites. Even the so called best of the Negro is looking away while our brothers and sisters sink into despair. The Negro organizations that are supposed to be dealing with these problems are too busy  having fund raising dinners. They spend millions of dollars to give out scholarships worth thousands of dollars for students to attend school that are not controlled by Negros. These organizations beg for help from violators as the violators destroy our neighbors. The organizations then tell the rest of us that they are doing a good job and we are not interested in doing what is necessary for living, to think actively. It is a shame because so much  potential is going to die with us.
