THE GREAT WHITE LIE

By: Robin Jones
We have been beholden to a venomous fabrication of our embellished lives that has started with those little unscrupulous lies that drip dry droppings of seeded untruths while planting those in between lies lined and covered with a stale stench of muck and manure leaving open the cracks and crevices for those oppressive lies that we keep slipping and sliding in while continuing to fertilize all other lies that create the great white lie

that strong ascending lie that consciously rises itself above the lowly field from which it sprang leaping high

into the mouths of fevered mountains bursting its malevolent manifestation into an explosion of bubbling hot lava on a meandrous path saturating its infernal roots by slowly and skillfully penetrating and piercing burning and blistering the souls of Black folk killing our kindred spirits as we lay buried beneath its blanket of boiling devastation amidst the hidden identity of its bottomless base

that already powerful lie that has muscled its way into the center core of our condensed celestrial region causing clouds shaped like mushrooms to materialize into a deformed seething steam of angry vapors spawning hot acidic rains descending pure hellish pain while scalding and searing singeing and scorching the souls of Black folks

eliminating the true essence of our existence as we continuously disappear into its whirlpool and are immersed in the turbulent clutches of its eternal deception

And as it beckons to you to lay your mind gently upon its lore remember its only purpose is to perpetrate the growth of itself while stripping you of your solidity bleaching the bareness of your being and dissolving you into its damnation for it truly fears that those among us who have escaped its wrath and are free from its falseness will one day filter the fertility of veracity unleasing unspoken tremors of truth steadily freeing its prisoners from their bondage and releasing those unknowing of The Great White Lie!

...SINCERE INTENT...
This work is designed to end the development of people like W. Wilson Goode, Colin Powell, Ralph Bunche, Joseph Mubutu, Jonas Savimbi, Roy Ennis, Carl T. Rowan, Tom Adams, Eric Williams, Gene Roberts, Anwar Sadat, Sammy Davis, Jr., Eugenia Charles, and Thomas Hayer, among us. It is designed to decrease the possibility of collaborators infiltrating our just struggle for liberation and the unification of our people under revolutionary Pan-Afrikanism!
THE WAR CORRESPONDENT 94

INTRODUCTION
In Culture Bandits Vol. 1 we journeyed into the white supremacists rape of our musical culture. We also explained how they have to subvert our culture to continue to subjugate us. I also, explained that these interruptions damage our progress, confuse our direction and destroy our mental and social equilibrium. They have an excellent understanding of our culture and how it impacts on our attempts to rebuild our Afrikan minds. Even after their enslavement and terrorism created a mental mutant called Nigger, we have always battled back to achieve our natural status as the original man...the Afrikan.

It is a race against time, it is, and we must collect ourselves and put our consciousness at the foundation of our efforts to fend off the genocidal programs of our enemies. Culture is the mothers milk of this growth, this development, and this re-birth of our strong race.

That makes culture a critical war zone where the life and death struggle of our race will be played out. In this corner armed with economic and political power which includes: a. Print (the colonization of scholarship) b. Radio (electronic propaganda) c. Television (image enslavement) d. Movies (revisionist historical distortions & image manufacturing) e. Satellite communication (global information control) f. Educational institutions (Negro creating factories) g. Military terrorism (domestic big stickism) h. Employment coercion (neo-slavery) i. Prisons (concentration camps for male youth n adults) j. Police culture (the pig is your friend propaganda) k. Hunger (homelessness and food stamp life line) 8

Facing all of this and In this corner is the champion, the Afrikan: bloody, beaten, raped and terrorized. Historically, more than a survivor, a proud veteran with a Pan-Afrikan knockout punch he refuses to use.

We are armed with only a minority of Afrikan centered brothers n sisters and we are disorganized and disjointed. Our biggest weapon is the will to be free, yet we carry the repressed hatred of our tormentors so deep in our bosoms, we cant reach the needed adrenaline producing documentation of why we hate them. And we do hate them, even if only a few will admit their powerless hatred.

The common dominator is not truth and justice, it is sheer power... political, military and global economic power that can only be delivered, to us, through Pan-Afrikanism.

The total liberation and unification of Afrika and Afrikan people globally is the only solution to international white supremacy. One global configuration against another will be the final comedown... it is unavoidable.

Culture Bandits II: The Annihilation of Afrikan Images is designed to clarify the mass medias role in developing in us a political backwardness, internal and external image assassination, an artificial affection for our enemies and a self-hatred of our own race, as these white supremacist tools drown our aspiration in a foul fiction designed to continue our victimization and final destruction. This is the first book that requires a VCR to travel through it thoroughly as we cut through the readers resistance to the damning truth about our relationship with our captors. I intend to leave doubters no where to run and no where to hide as I strike down the white lies that traps our tomorrows in its filthy bowels.

The Black Holocaust Final Phase: Clinton and Pacification is now in effect and his Negro allies are lined up to serve in the death of the Afrikan race. The need to understand Culture Bandits Vol. I, The Black Holocaust: Global Genocide and Culture Bandits II: Annihilation of Afrikan Images is ever present. 9

Lack of understanding of our Afrikan reality will leave us defenseless as the Afrikan Holocaust continues unchecked and misunderstood.

Pan-Afrikanism vs. Global White Supremacy, these two configurations are headed for the Final Comedown... It is unavoidable. We must nourish our minds and aim all our energies at the liquidation of our enemies power bases for good. This is not the time for half stepping, punkish liberalism, or fear... Our battle cry should be... Race First!

RADIO (MUSIC N TALK N REVOLUTION)

In dealing with Black imagery and stereotyping, it is interesting to note, you must deal with radio before film and television. Because the ground work for what the other two media do was established by audio broadcasting. In fact, I believe the audio images were even more pronounced because the expertise of the propagandist was challenged more. To slap the resistance of Afrikan people down, the audio assholes had to deliver tighter scripts, more pronounced stereotyped language and deeper racist rantings.

The development of radio was a boom to global white supremacy. It was more than a method of communication or an entertainment toy. It became an excellent propaganda tool; One that would advance the exportation of their decadent culture, and at the same time they could misrepresent themselves to the world.

Faking a projected higher form of civilization, religious superiority, and the self-proclaimed white mans burden, they hid the viciousness and anti-human instrument of imperialism from view. They stereotyped people of color and their culture, thus excusing themselves for their excesses. They sold the notion that the worst of white society was better than the best of any other. In short, their print propaganda got a pitiful partner as the lying machine spit nonsense onto the world. Also, locked into entertainment radio broadcasts were their backwards cultural, moral, and religious ideas that crippled the listeners and poisoned their minds for under-development. In addition, their racist one sided news broadcasts delivered the white supremacist perspective as the norm. 12

All of these components trapped our peoples consciousness in a vice of ignorance and sent their energies and aspirations off into the wrong

direction. We went tramping off after an integrated reality, even though all the evidence shouted loudly that someday we would have to rumble these people to cool them out.

The death blow to our intellectual development was delivered by their educational institutions which legitimatized the lie.

Radio allowed them to zero in on our musical culture as the filthy Culture Bandits decided that they could not let us use our culture as a liberating tool. They understood that controlling the musical component of our culture was of life and death importance. Further, they thought it would deliver pleasure to them and they also knew it would be extremely profitable. They were right. Its called cultural imperialism, it was executed with ruthlessness and demonic glee. Earlier, they segregated the music hoping our music wouldnt influence their tired sounds, but their people were slipping uptown and across the tracks to take Afrikan musical baths. From the blues, to gospel, and through jazz their music rotted in this Black sunshine.

In the forties and early fifties they use to sell our music under the counter, in plain wrappers like bootlegged culture coming from the heavens, but illegal because of its potency.

In different locations across this country, Black music was played on the radio at certain times in a block of Black sound. Finally, the development of radio stations that played Black oriented music sprang up. None owned by Black people. Still it pushed into the corners of Babylon, our culture began to bleed into the simple-minded vulture like mainstream. The real thing, the original peoples products were alive, organic, reeking with reality, not some malt shop vanilla porridge of the rhythmless ones. Radio communications was a great advancement in western society, it also has always been a deadly weapon against people of color. It gave this society socialization consistency and a broad reach. Everyone could now be reached as the propaganda climbed on polluted winds. 13

Connecting the dots, the white supremacist culture now rode on the shameless currents reaching villages, hamlets, mountains and into the deep forest planting hatred deeper into their own social fabric.

Programming beamed from slimy studios of racist stupidity as the information diet of the people was now in the firm grip of the mind managers. Corporate ownership and sponsorship blew open untouched markets for exploitation.

Dallas Smyte calls the mass media The Consciousness Industry. They now had the tool to attack and identify new markets, propagate old racist ideas, and perpetuate the socially backward system of capitalism.

Smyte, the Canadian media critic, also defines the mass medias role correctly when he proclaims that they deliver audiences to advertisers. I will add from an Afrikan perspective, that the mass media in general and radio in particular also brainwashes its consumers, perpetuates stereotypes, assassinates Black peoples culture, misrepresents issues, manages, and dominates the information we digest.

Historically, white culture was the only product shipped through the air into our living spaces. At the same time, it reinforced racial oppression, Afrikan lynchings, forced segregation, economic and academic terrorism. We must always remember the largest Afrikan movement developed was by the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). The modern communication weapon of the enemy was radio and it could not stop the formation of the UNIA. It could only snip at their Black heels and counter attack from pitiful vestibules of hate. On the other hand, Marcus Garvey the UNIA leader, did not have the advantage of radio. He fought them off with his journalistic skills, oral dynamics and with a generation of brothers and sisters who were ready to rumble. They were ready for a positive program, a 14

revolutionary program, a program that was both the salvation and the weapon.

The will of a people to be free will always override whatever mechanism is put in the way of their righteous goal. History teaches us that technology is annoying, but it can be dealt with if the mental chains of slavery are broken.

This is not to under estimate the technology of the enemy but to put it in its proper perspective. They hurt the UNIA with their anti-Afrikan and anti-UNIA propaganda. Had it not been for their vicious attack on the unconscious minds of the masses, millions more would have joined the legions of Black folk who were on the move.

In any case, Garvey was kicking ass and only with cowardly infiltration, governmental frame-ups, economic revenge and traitorous opportunism was victory stolen from us. And yes, it was the radio and print media that preached the lies, that justified governmental oppression and covered up truth with the drippy sores of white lies and the scabby terror of cowardly lynchings.

The role of radio hasnt changed, only now many Black radio personalities have joined the lynch mob. Radio for revolutionary purposes doesnt exist. There are individuals who contribute to our informational diet in a positive way, but they are few and far between. Among them are charlatans hiding under the cover of nationalism, but they are mere buffers for white supremacy. We must understand that most are audio Ebony/Jet Magazine like reactionary fluff. Packaged illusions dripping with misrepresented reality designed to tunnel our dreams and aspiration under white supremacys faggity diseased ass.

Like Ebony/Jet, Black Enterprise and Essence Magazine, they participate in camouflaging our collective misery as they front legitimacy. They are the bridge for the Culture Bandits, they flop down in the mud and allow the enemy to travel across their backs to steal our culture and misrepresent reality. 15

In that position the collaborators can only get screwed, a lesson they will learn before the year 2,000. Yeah, these broadcasters must control the peoples thoughts and information, they must perpetuate a false leadership, misrepresent issues and deliver us to the enemy naked and afraid.

The new key in every city now is Talk Radio, which is more their vehicle then ours. Daily the most reactionary garbage is kicked out to a frustrated people who are attempting to become informed. Most of the time the host is a manager and legitimatizer of middle class values that are not only unrealistic but a close kin to white supremacy and culture. We must realize that information is the key ingredient to progress as we struggle to develop the strategy and tactics to dismantle their evil hold on our vision. There are three levels of information presently: First: There is the great white lie that attacks from white media strongholds with a demonic energy that is slapped into our consciousness as the real shit, the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. On this level the lie is dressed up in suits and ties, gowns and phony made up smiles tumbling out of the communication caves of the damned.

Thus, the legitimatizing agents of societys truth, political correctness and healthy lies work from golden arches across Black aspirations. Spinning from the centers of hell they manufacture, hide, destroy, and work the color out of the truth. Holding it hostage, they damage all who hear their tales. They fracture our direction, they embellish the lie and assassinate any who dare counter their shameless falsehoods. Information delivery is not their gig, they sell perspective, culture, and a multitude of misery destined to travel into our reality replacing it with a Disney fantasy that we will never 16

That first tier of lies has become the worlds truth and almost every educational system, communication system, religious group and political/economic configuration must deal with their shitty lies.

survive. Local, regional and national professional liars that are so good at their craft that they fool themselves into believing they are not the snow demons from the land of the mutated misfits. Their works circle the globe and imprison it as their military moves in for the slaughter.

They beam their falsehoods across the galaxies and amongst the stars, they bounce them off satellites and into our brains while articulating in every language. The message? White supremacy is the only game in town, whites are Gods and the rest of the world (people of color) aint shit, never done shit and will never be shit! Their code word is democracy. Nigerian musician Fela Anikulapo Kuti breaks the word down and says what they really mean is dem-are-crazy or demonstration of craze. The second level is a tricky one: This level includes campus radio, alternative radio, and socalled Black Talk Radio. On this level those who slipped through the trap of stage one land here thinking their consciousness is safe as they nestle under the mostly useless conversations of confusion. 95% of the endless chatter is more confusing than the focused racist information slipping out of the slimy mouths of our enemies. Aint no joke!

Those who are growing toward free thought escape to this level. However, they soon find this is not a sanctuary because it is the same garbage packaged in loonie liberalism and rolled toward the people like a green hot dog. You know, red dye #2 creates the illusion that the meat is less than foul. But we know it will kill whether it is red or green. In fact, if you escape the rotten meat the red dye will deliver a deadly cancerous blow. 17

Some alternative stations are the only place you can find liberating information. Alternative views and news are propagated, however much of it is snowed under mounds of interest group banter that turns off many listeners. Black talk shows are usually soap boxes for traitorous politicians, backward entertainers, and assorted religious sell outs. They also serve as an open microphone for the community; giving the impression that a village meeting is taking place when in fact its a controlled situation faking free speech just to cool us out.

For example, establishment types like Mary Mason in Philadelphia openly cried for racist former Police Chief and Mayor Frank Rizzo on the air after he was snatched from this earth from under a toilet where his racist ass fell and died. Nobody said nothing! He was an enemy, who had sent many of us packing off to the prisons of just-us. In addition, many were blown off the face of the earth by his goons in blue. He was a barbarian who fronted official terrorism and was proud of it. She is the kind of person who raps to our people daily via talk radio. Mason is not a dinosaur, she is reproducing herself in young ambitious Negroes who want to continue the circus. Consequently, life enhancing and life saving information is still absent from our people. Colored Flunkies, Negro fossils and some house Niggers control the talk, thus nothing is accomplished. If anything, they reinforce the white lie.

Confusion is the enemy of revolution and this is the strong suit of Black Talk. It confuses, alters and manages information to keep the people wandering and cooled out. In this mixture across this country, a few positive Black communicators operate in their respective foxholes. We must multiply their numbers. In addition, we must expose the clowns, charlatans and agents of white supremacy. 18

The third level is the clear cut minority and exists only as a product of the overall struggle: Its the struggling media of the progressive sub-culture, it is under wraps, pushed away from the masses. It is fragmented, disjointed, trying to breathe free air, trying to serve, trying to strike back at the other two carnivorous levels. However, weak it is, weak it has always been. An example of the resilience is Black Liberation Radio (BLR) in Springfield, Illinois, which is a small station that serves the public housing projects there. Even though it is a one watt station, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) has attempted to move on it several times. Run by Mbanna Kantako and his posse, he is a young blind man committed to informing his people. More small underground stations are popping up across the nation. Brother Mbanna has been aiding in this growth. He educates those who are interested in this economical and effective weapon against the great white lie.

Those stations that are community stations and alternative stations have been a reservoir of information. However, most community folks are unaware of where they are on the dial and what they offer. In addition, the onslaught of anti-Afrikan propaganda and the white supremacist education systems have damaged the appetite of the people for anything but entertainment junk food. More importantly, the alternative stations, some campus radio stations and independent revolutionary stations like BLR are training grounds for the type of War Correspondents we will have to develop to make progress in communications.

Meanwhile, at some established stations there is also a rumble. These are mostly individuals that hold enough check to survive at stations as an oddity, an aside, that the station can glean some legitimacy from. Even though most of them have lines 19

they will not cross, they will not deal with subjects that will upset powerful people or white power configurations such as: so-called Jews, secret orders and their Black flunkies.

Yet, these areas are where many progressive thinkers, activists, researchers, and authors can expose the people to information that goes ignored everywhere else. However, there is little or no coordination between progressive forces. Here is where we must develop, this is where the struggle lies, we must create ways of getting unmolested information to our people. When we discuss the Annihilation of Afrikan Images most will think of photos, movies, television and video. However, we must realize that some of the crisp images we latch on to come through the music we listen to. That is why so much energy and trickyology is used to control the musical images that dance in our heads.

MUSICAL IMAGES

Young people are the first victims. Their sexual values are not adopted from family systems any longer, but from the top twenty songs pumped out by sexist backward recording artists. These songs are brought to you by folk, Black or white, who dont even consider what is good for Afrikan people. It is a profit industry, simply put, any other illusion will only confuse. Those who want to slip past the hundreds of others who record and release records weekly must please white folks stereotypical image of Afrikan sexuality. It is a racket, a corrupt business run by master Culture Bandits!

That is the easiest way to get a record deal, that is the easiest way to get on the radio and that is the easiest way to get print coverage. Sex sells because that is all that is allowed to sell. It is the rule that all our young would-be artists know, it is a rule the Dance Hall artists know in the teeming ghettos of Jamaica. The ticket out is to sing about being Extra Naked, like Shabba Ranks or about Murder She 20

Wrote or maybe something about being some kind of Mack Daddy.

Why even unisexed Michael Jackson, who plays meek and mild and soft spoken when he is not performing, grabs his crotch, grinds his butt and comes off with machoism to be included in his rhythms.

The point is, the vamp was so down that any decent rhyme would have caught on and delivered a hit. Their talent blew through on a master rap called Ghetto Bastard (also called Everything is Gonna Be Alright), which held more truth and attitude then ten thousand sociology studies, ten million social worker reports and a bagful of parole officer lies. This master piece didnt get the attention it deserved but it was pure Black art.

Program directors and radio consultants and others control the sounds we listen to and they are directly responsible for what we hear. A classic example is Hip Hop artists Naughty by Nature, who I feel are one of the most talented groups to appear in sometime. However, their hit tune OPP was the rage, but the tune was so sexually backward and childishly negative that you had to try to suppress its notions that help manufacture negative behavior in the heads of our youth.

It alerted me to the fact that many of our youth have the talent to make dynamic contributions to our understanding of their reality. Yet, we all know the big money is in the sexploitation music that is cheap and artless. We also know, that our young people are exploited. After they are used to project what our enemies need to perpetuate, the great white lie, they usually end up penniless and abandoned. Even if they are enriched, to sell your people for a dollar is treason. Yeah, I understand some of us dont know any better. Consequently, its time we pull their coats, and if they continue to function with the genocidal programs of the enemy, they must be exposed and their careers destroyed. Our culture belongs to the collective and not to individual clowns and clownettes. 21

Queen Latifah who discovered Naughty By Nature knows better. However, the money meant more to her than honor, dignity and service. Therefore, I was not surprised when she took off the crowns she was wearing and shifted to mini-skirted immaturity. It is important to state, it is our fault as the adults, that the young folk dont know the time. When they go wrong we wont step to them and drop the vibe to keep them positive. Our lives are at stake and the bastardizing of our culture, the watering down of our thing and the death of our way will lead to the destruction of this mighty race....the original race, the Afrikan Race! Again radio and music rides with us in our cars, accompanies our children while theyre doing their homework, pump out of our boom boxes while were walking and plug directly into our ears as we attempt to escape our environment and the hellos from friendly faces.

The crying love tunes, sexploitation songs, infidelity moanings, harmonizing sexual begging drifts into our consciousness daily. Creating a sexually backward people who can not maintain a decent relationship without it crumbling in egos delivered by macho men notions and soap opera queen ideas. Ya see, mass media produced morons are created out of Afrikan people like clowns outta Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head. This is not to say music for fun and music for romance dont have its place, but it is to say that 99% of the music we hear dont deal with the real deal. That is of course, the struggle for our liberation against those who are committing genocide against our people globally.

Manufactured foolishness can only create manufactured fools. Our culture has taken a beating and one dimensional musical products dominate the air time and our peoples reality. As of now, our music is compartmentalized like Afrika, carved up by the same people who are depopulating the earth of people of color. Most are down with OPP, and few are down with liberation. 22

In our heads the music helps to draw images for us. Women, develop a stereotype image of men and men buy into the projected illusions of our women. And we function on these externally developed images as if they are real. Our values are scarred, because many of us want to be into what the majority is into and the image of what the majority is dealing with most times Is misrepresented. If you dont think our teenage boys and girls dont get hot listing to sexual moaning and groaning, youve been old too long. If you dont think Black adults dont get dozens of sexual reminders a day, while they are being influenced to slip out on their mate, you are really functioning on a Sesame Street level.

I wonder do we critically review the things that affect our lives or are we pushed along by other peoples hypes, public relations and misinformation. If we did check things out deeper, Im sure we would organize to clean up the musical diet fed to us by radio. In addition, we would protect those who are loyal to us and punish those who damage our positive thrust for freedom. In Culture Bandits Vol.1, I praised Public Enemy. I still feel that the work done by that group and Boogie Down Productions (under the direction of KRS-ONE) will go down in history as a dynamic use of culture to uplift the consciousness of our people.

They should be respected for what they achieved in bringing nationalism to the front and exalting Malcolm X as the revolutionary icon needed to help our people outta this Dope Jam. Any historian who over looks their contribution has no idea what has transpired. They deserve credit, they earned it. However, the update is not positive. Several developments have decreased their impact and sent their contributions in reverse: 1. After an interview with Public Enemys Minister of Information, Professor Griff, a small-time reporter captured what he thought was career building quotes. Griff spoke on 23

the so-called Jews with the reporter as an aside. The reporter pumped the story up and soon there was an attack on Griff by the powerful Zionists.

What happened next caught the community by surprise. Public Enemy, who used a lot of revolutionary theatre in their act, twirling uzis, high stepping military precision, and martial arts demonstrates, backed down. More importantly, after the artificial controversy continued leader Chuck D laid these lines I got so much trouble on my mind, refuse to lose, heres your ticket, let the drummer get wicked. And just like that Griff was gone, set-a drift as the so-called Jews dogged his trail. There is a difference between revolutionary theatre and the real deal. Griff is strong and back recording and making videos, that is a brother we need to support because of his loyalty to the race and principled stance against our enemies.

2. The dismissal of Professor Griff made many wonder was Public Enemy for real? They had earned the love of the people, were they now back peddling? Yes, they were! Next, they recorded with a nasty looking white rock group called Anthrax. They even toured with them, which meant that Black youth had to be exposed to Anthrax as a reward for their loyalty to P.E.

Obviously, we should support Professor Griff and turn away from Public Enemy until they return to the party. They may never return if they continue to work as a tool of white supremacy. This criticism is with affection, because we love all of our people. They are young 24

3. The final diss hurt most of all when members of the Bomb Squad, P.E.s production team, recorded and promoted a group call Young Black Teenagers. The problem was that the group was white with one pale member wearing dreadlocks down his face. Tell me, how do you get from a leadership position in the Black struggie to the role of a bridge for the filthy Culture Bandits and their carnivorous children? ...Money?

and have a track record that has been helpful. However, it seems that once they became manipulated to attempt to destroy their Homeboy, Professor Griff, they have been tumbling down-hill ever since. Yeah, rolling down-hill with pockets full.

Meanwhile KRS-ONE has a good mind and has also been an important player in the political and culture development of some of our young people. But again, not understanding Race First, he has integrated his shit. The impact is gone. Malcolm X taught us that If you take Black coffee and lighten it up with white cream, what kept you awake will now lull you to sleep. At the end of his excellent live video KRS-ONE told the world he was leader of the revolution in Japanese. Look, revolution is not a word to play with as Public Enemy witnessed. Our young people can be daring, they can be fearless and they also can be silly and reactionary. We must keep the lines of communication open and help them back on the right track. Malcolm said, if you knew the definition of revolution, youd crawl back into the alley and get outta the way, you wouldnt use that word. Well white folk know what the real definition is and they come at us hard core. It is necessary for the youth to work with established brothers and sisters in the community to drive the race forward. No, not the so-called national establishment flunkies like Carl Rowan, Jesse Jackson, Colin Powell, Vernon Jordan, Roy Innis, Wilson Goode, Coretta Scott King, assorted religious types and other tools of white supremacy. Im talking about the brothers and sisters who work for the people everyday and whose names are not promoted in the media. We all need to come together and work to solve the problems of our people. Revolution is not childs play, but our only hope.

Outta Georgia, Arrested Development came kicking rural rap. This earthiness worked as they rap/sang about things important to us. With Baba (father) in the middle of the group, healthy ancestor worship, 25

an Afrikan cultural base and spirituality, they forced their way into our lives.

Their musical offering Revolution was the highlight of the Malcolm X movie. Let us hope they remain loyal to our people and their struggles. I caution them from our historical experiences, that poor whites are as dangerous and more deadly than their brothers. Please do not take our love and throw it back in our faces for money as others have done. Let us all collectively manufacture the environment for the struggle we have ahead of us.

The enemy will come at you with money, opportunity, ego tripping exposure and coercion to misdirect your youthful energy. Stay loyal to us, all we have for you is love and a positive position in our illustrious history. Peter Tosh sang live clean let your works be seen, stand firm or you gonna fever.

Listen, I can hear the echoes of our enemies laughter bouncing off the insides of their empty heads. Let them relax and miss the gathering storm. Let us keep moving and growing at the pace that we are now and one day [soon] they will lean their heads back to cackle and lose them. We must organize our information to produce consciousness in our people. We must research and find out how to establish our own radio counter-attack.

Cost effective methods of radio communications are critical, let us put together radio co-operatives to establish what we need. Also, it is critical to learn and then teach our people how to use shortwave radios to round out our global information diet. News from around the world is managed to keep us unaware, backward and apathetic toward our people globally.

Students of communications must rally around the community, provide expertise and creativity to our problem. How can we measure the global effectiveness of the Black Holocaust without a communication arsenal to strike back! 26
