CULTURAL SLAVES
Unlike The Human Body Parts
Such As The Legs, Feet, Arms, And Hands
That Are Naturally Attached
To Same Physical Structure
The Individual Members Of An Association
May Be Artificially Connected
To The Despised Group
They Have Been Assigned By Society

Individuals Who Allow Themselves To Be Labeled
Coloreds, Negroes, African-Americans, Or Blacks
Represent An Informal Grouping Of People
Who Have Been Told That They Are Brothers
In A Family That Has Been Forsaken
By The Majority Of White-Americans

Whenever A Group Of Individuals
Acknowledges And Readily Accepts
An Identity Invented By Their Enemies
They Become The Willing Partners
In A Continuing Conspiracy
To Deny Them Their Individuality

Any Group Of Non-White Americans
That Is Prone To Act Immaturely
Against Its Important Interests
Will Find No Good Favor For Itself
In An Economical And Political System
Within Which Being White
Is A Privilege And An Advantage

People Who Find Themselves Passively Resting
At The Bottom Of The Socio-Economic Order
Are The Same Complainants
Who Allow Their Personal Agendas
To Be Set And Managed
By A Pastiche Of Racial Bigots
Who Assume That They Are Superior
To The Subjects They Once Enslaved

A Person Who Is Unwilling
To Independently Establish
His Own Set Of Priorities
Without The Prior Approval
From His Ethnic Peers
Lacks The Self-Confidence
He Needs To Succeed

Anytime The Credentials Of Competence
Are Essential To Individual Advancement
And A Person Living In Mental Poverty
Refuses To Seek The New Skills
That Are Necessary For His Survival
He Must Learn To Live Frugally
Without The Essential Assets
To Which He Is Entitled

In A World Within Which
Being A Dark-Skinned Ghetto Dweller
Is Both A Scandal And A Crime
A Poor Person Of Color
Who Is Emotionally And Intellectually Immature
Is Unlikely To Become An Achiever
Or The Best That One Can Be
Unless He Constructively Asserts Himself

Living In Mental Poverty
Without The Support Of Intellectual Assets
In A Cultural Climate
Within Which Skin Color Is King
The Uneducated African-American Citizen
Who Submissively Accepts His Status
As A Human Who Has No Hope
Will Remain A Passive Captive
In The Cage He Has Chosen
To Live Out His Lowly Life

Constantly Complaining About A Burden
That One Has To Bare
From The Day That He Was Born
Is An Unsatisfactory Solution
For A Self-Development Problem

One Who Enthusiastically Exploits
Every Available Opportunity
To Feel Sorry For Himself
And Who Blames His White Brother
For His Undeveloped Life
Will Never Completely See
The Best Side Of Himself

A Partisan Whose Thoughts
Are Permanently Attached
To A Feel-Good-Philosophy
And Who Is A Professional Player
In The Blame-The-White-Man Game
Is Unable To See That His Suffering
May Be A Product Of His Own Failure
To Fully Accentuate The Assets
That The Individual Owns

Embracing Similar Thoughts With Individuals
Who Are Arbitrarily Assigned To A Group
Is A Common Occurrence
In A Racist Culture
But Group-Thinking
Is A Convoluted Concept
That Is Persistently Advanced
By The Agents Of Ignorance

People Who Voluntarily Accept
The Ethnic Role
Scripted By Their Enemies
On The Stage For Slaves
That Has Been Set For Themselves
By The Directors And Producers Of Prejudice
Are The Victims Of Their Own Actions

An Uninspired Individual
Who Deeply Believes
That His Individual Efforts And Initiatives
Are Less Important To His Success
Than The Collective Advancement Of His Clan
May Never Achieve
His Most Intimate Dreams

Individuals Who Are Bound To Believe
That Their Outer Garments
And Their Body Ornaments
Are Real Replacements
For Their Lack Of Marketable Skills
Constantly Change Their Physical Appearances
But Their Status Remains The Same

In A Political, Economical, And Social System
Where Individual Competence Is Encouraged
And Rational Thinking Is Rewarded
An Incompetent Individual
Is A Liability To Himself
