While watching the Democratic "Hypocratic" convention, my eyes filled with tears when the "Mothers Of the Movement" took the stage. They were poised, elegant and beautiful, burdened with the hurt of their sons being killed by policemen or racists. I felt a bond with them, and rightly so. They had the talk with their sons that I have had with mine. "If you are stopped by the police, make sure that you keep your hands on the steering wheel. Don't reach for anything, not even your cell phone. Call the officer Sir. Don't make any sudden moves." And a plethora of other instructions that seem not to work. Their sons were killed, despite giving them the "rules" for survival. In America, a black person can be killed by a policemen or a racist at anytime and anywhere. With no accountability, no indictments....no hope.
It would be great if there was change...but don't count on it. The Democratic "Hypocratic" Convention praises dear old "Billary" as someone who really cares. Don't you remember her support for the crime bill that put thousands of black men behind bars? Do you remember when she called our son's super predators? Who cares if Hillary is elected? Guess what? Bill Clinton will be President of the United States.
Here's the thing...only one thing will stop the killing of our children. Economic Warfare! And yes, we are in a war! Black Dollar Days are days that blacks should spend no money, except in black owned businesses. What do you think would happen? We would shut shit down! Ya think? When the Montgomery Bus Boycott took place, the mayor, the bus company etc. could have cared less if another black person ever took a ride on a bus. However, when blacks did not ride, the bus companies did not have enough money to pay their employees. When the employees did not get paid, they could not buy from the stores or save money in their banks. When the stores and banks could make not profit, the racist establishment realized that their economy was on the brink of disaster. What was the result? They complied with the demands of those who boycotted! IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY! EVERYTHING IN AMERICA IS ABOUT THE MONEY.
The reason that blacks have not received what we demand is our fault. Hear me now...before you get an attitude...we never took the money out of their hands! We never took or power back! There is not one white person who lives in America that does not benefit from the economic power of slavery. Slaves built this country, but our benefits go unsung and denied.
If we are serious about stopping the corporations, who control the government, who control the law enforcement agencies WE HAVE TO HAVE BLACK DOLLAR DAYS! TAKE THE MONEY OUT OF THEIR HANDS AND THE WAY BLACK PEOPLE ARE TREATED WILL CHANGE. WE CAN CONTROL OUR FUTURE BY NOT SPENDING ANY MONEY ON DESIGNATED DAYS! So get down or stay down! Stay in the pit created for the black race to never survive, economically or otherwise. Or, get with the BLACK DOLLAR DAYS.
What day of the week do you think would be most effective for Black Dollar Days? Let us know. We want to hear from you. Money is power and we have both. Will we use it wisely? Think about it....
