CREATE CONSCIOUS CHILDREN......

Making a living and taking care of a family is a very hard thing when your amount of income depends on how much you write and how many people are willing to pay for your work. In the business of Liberation esp. that of Liberating African/Black people, the art of being a wordsmith gets even more complicated. There are so many obstacles when trying to reach a particular audience of whom need freedom, deprogramming, and then reprogramming. The reason being that- you have to first convince the people that they are ill and are in need of some serious self reflection. This is why I find it not only more feasible, but at this point, more essential and urgent that we as the promoters and purporters of African/Black Unity and Liberation focus most of our energies on our children and young adults. They are the ones that will surely lead us to our Victory. They are strong, they're minds are fresh and innovative, and they are seemingly more willing to listen to and contribute the ideas of self determination throughout the diaspora. We as the adults of this struggle should always keep them in mind and be sure that they are involved in everything that we do in terms of cultural events, rallies, conferences, and yes even our most hard core grassroots operations. Our young people have been lost in the last decade or so to just plain ole' stupidity. By that I mean lost in a lifestyle of selfishness, disrespect, and that total annihilation of the Knowledge of Self. They are being whitewashed (brainwashed with a pseudo culture) and turned away from truth like we never imagined. Many of them lack respect for their elders, their families and peers, and ultimately themselves. It is our job to 'talk' less and 'act' more or even better, 'act' just as much as we 'talk' - even if that means something as simple as volunteering your time teaching 'cultural' or African/Black awareness in community centers on weekends or at your local library. Actually, that's not really 'simple' at all, teaching African/Black awareness in your free time is something that could be life changing for one of our young people. Whatever we do we should always maintain our one true mission that is to CULTIVATE AND CULMINATE SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS CHILDREN in addition to our adult peers.
