Ves, we must continue to struggle against racism, oppression and injustice. Vet their continued existence does not negate our obligation to do for ourselves all that we can.

Malcolm's legacy and message is correct. (Please see: Malcolm's Masterplan Finally Revealed). Equality will be attained only by our accomplishing WHAT W€ MUST B6 AND DO.

Our annual income of over $300,000,000,000 is an absolutely massive market. And it is a market for which access should be earned, not granted. RELEASE THE PSYCHOLOGY Of SLAVERY

The first step in the methodology of creating a slave was to destroy the bonds of trust and mutual support. (Please see: t-». The Slave Consultant's Narrative). We must recognize that we have been programmed not to love, trust, nurture, nor aid one another. Vet, the racism and oppression which we are all subjected to can only be overcome collectively.

After liberating ourselves from the mental shackles of slavery, our collective energy will become an irresistible force for righteousness.

PRACTICE AM

Our purpose and meaning of life has historically been to live righteously and virtuously. Re-establishing this will both drastically improve our quality of life and empower us.

(Please see: Nihilism vs MAAT and Sisters Have The Power).

DEVELOPMENT Of OUR bUSIHESS SECTOR.

African Americans are the group least likely to do business with one another; and Tony Brown estimates that the consequence is 3,000,000 lost jobs.

Those discriminated against clearly have an obligation to do all they can to mitigate its effects. Isn't it our obligation to create opportunities for ourselves and for our children?

While in most cases no sacrifice is required, in some cases tolerable sacrifice will be necessary. Vou just can't give someone a 350 year head start, all of this nation's natural resources, be their slaves for almost 250 of those years...and not have to sacrifice to achieve parity.

We must release the senseless arguments for not doing business with one another—for discriminating against ourselves. Rather, we must act in our own selfish best interest, by doing business with one another. EXCELLENT PERSONAL flNANCIAL AATIAQEAEriT.

Anyone can spend every dollar they earn, regardless of how much they make or how fast their income is growing. Vet only those who save for investment, a portion of all they earn, will ever realize any financial security and/or wealth accumulation.

It takes discipline and time, yet it's achievable regardless of income level. And assets passed to the next generation vastly increases their life's chances.

EDUCATE TrlC AIDDLE CLASS.

America is exporting its technology so others may manufacture the products we buy and use.

Future economic giants will be those engaged in high value added manufacturing. By exporting our technology, we're exporting our middle class jobs. If we simply "level the playing field," by taxing imports for the difference in labor costs, we'll eliminate the motivation to de-industrialize America.

By educating all of the middle class to this reality, a voting majority will exist adequate to heal America's economic ills, and all will benefit; for the American middle class is the goose that lays the golden eggs. TURN concERn irrro ACTIOH.

If it is to be, then clearly it is up to you and me. Concern without action is wasted emotion. When each of us decides what we are most concerned about, and simply move to active volunteer service to negate that concern, we'll rapidly realize that our concerns are dissipating. ^i Is not a year or two of full time voluntary service consistent with the transformation of responsible youth into responsible adulthood? If we can somehow afford to support our children for 18 or 21 years, can we not afford to continue to support them during another year or two of voluntary service to our community? Can you imagine the positive effect this would have on our community...upon our destiny?

SUPPORT OUR COAAUniTYS insTiTUTions.

Should we complain about our institutions when we allow others to provide the financial resources that allow them to exist?

Absolute accountability flows from absolute financial support, which results in absolute control.

If they are to truly be our institutions, consistently acting in our own selfish best interest, then we must fund them.

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choices. It is not some phenomenon to be waited for. It is something to be accomplished.

We must simply focus all our love on ourselves and WtlAT W MUST K AflD DO. And together we can accomplish whatever we will. Sisters Have The Power

"Not another red cent would be spent on these \ f leechesandthere'd definitely be ahold on sex. In other words, brotha, you ain't got nothing comin' from a righteous sista." Nihilism

While all agree that a significant percent age of the African American community is disintegrating, there is wide disagree ment as to why.

Some blame racism and oppression...yet, they always have and apparendy always will exist. They're so deeply ingrained into the moral fabric of this society that they're as American as apple pie. Others blame economic exploitation...yet, poverty and unemployment are nothing new to our community. Still others cite poor parenting, drugs, and teen pregnancies...yet, are these causes or symptoms?

Cornell West, author of Race Matters, has made the following powerful observation: "...the major enemy of black survival in America is neither oppression nor exploitation but rather the nihilistic threat—that is, loss of hope and absence of meaning.

"Nihilism is to be understood...(as) the lived experience of coping with a life of horrifying meaninglessness, hopelessness, and (most important) lovelessness. The frightening result is a numbing detachment from others and a self-destructive disposi tion toward the world. Life without hope, and love breeds a coldhearted, mean-spirited outlook that destroys both the individual and others. "...nihilism is a disease of the soul." Will a life filled with purpose and mean ing also be filled with pride and dignity, personal growth and development, and the satisfaction of living a virtuous life...even when subjected to racism and oppression, unemployment and poverty? And, in your opinion, what is the pur pose and meaning of life? 42 *&. MAAT

Ancient Egyptians had purpose and meaning in their lives...which they called MAAT. MAAT represented truth, justice and righteousness. There were seven cardi nal virtues of MAAT (propriety, har mony, balance, reciprocity, order, truth and justice) and 42 specific virtues.

It was the moral and spiritual obligation of each citizen to practice and perfect these 42 specific virtues, for MAAT was both the motivating force and goal of life itself. One's worth was measured based upon the practice of MAAT, the goal was to live so no one could find fault in your character. And anyone could achieve greatness simply by living a life filled with the practice of MAAT.

MAAT is the direct opposite of nihilism. Can a life dedicated to the perfection of virtue be self-destructive or destructive to others? Is it possible for one practicing MAAT to use or sell drugs of ruination, to force bars to their neighbors windows, or to reject the opportunity to learn and grow so they might contribute positively to society?

Must not one practicing MAAT resist injustice, uphold truth, and combat racism, sexism, classism, oppression and economic exploitation?

If our lives were filled with the practice of MAAT would we not have an irresistibly powerful dual purpose and motivation.... the individual perfection of virtue and the full establishment of MAAT in society?

Since MAAT and nihilism can not coexist, is MAAT what WE MUST BE AND DO? Malcolm's Master Plan: finally Revealed!

I believe Malcolm stood at the podium knowing that his assassination was eminent. Strength and courage flowed from knowledge certain that his actions had been unwaveringly true to his convictions...and the belief that he was leaving an organization and program that would allow African-Americans to seize dignity and respect. For twenty-five years his plan has been hidden from the world...from us. The chapter 20 Millions had been written and edited. The publishers agreement required its publication. Yet, its existence was only discovered and revealed following the sale at auction of his autobiography's hand corrected manuscript The African American Community Annual is proud, honored, and appreciative of being able to reveal it to you. Malcolm believed that African-Americans must seize control over our destiny and personally mold a community that would fulfill our needs. Malcolm believed his 10 point plan was what WE MUST BE AND DO. This is Malcolm's 10 point master plan.... fin ally revealed:

1. Develop and patronize our otun 7. Establish MUSEUMS and LIBRARIES BUSINESSES to prevent the greatest to exhibit positive reflections of our culture debilitating effect of our community— and to provide the masses, for the first time, the draining of our economic resources. with true and undistorted knowledge. 2.

Have the community provide its children a sound indoctrination into our own CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS and great history so every child will know: RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES...th

Malcolm felt the adoption of these ten points would lead to an American miracle—True Integration." This miracle would occur because others would respect our actions and accomplishments, and hence finally extend their hand in fellowship. Malcolm stated, Tor holding this vision, I am called a fanatic. For holding up the truth, I'm accused of teaching hate." Is not the legacy of Malcolm X that we must not allow the existence of racism to stand between us...and WHAT WE MUST BE AND DO? 44 T|

u o often we African-Americans are so preoccupied with feelings of Spowerlessness that we overlook our own contribution to the total African Diaspora.

A visit by African intellectuals to the "People, Places and Things" exhibit last fall at the Columbus Museum of Art can provide a valuable perspective on how we should view ourselves and our culture's impact on the continent and people of Africa.

African intellectuals are amazed that as emancipated slaves we have come so far in this country, achieving more economic, social and political power than any other group of black people in the world. They are in awe of the educational opportunities available to us, and one member of the group said, "We envy their material conditions of life in general." Many Africans think that we should feel honored to have accomplished so much in such a short period of time. One African even frankly said that some of us have become spoiled and blase because we have so much as a result of our self- created status.

For many young African intellectuals the desire is to not only connect to the past, but to develop the skills and technology which will allow their countries to be economically competitive in the 21st century. "We are primarily concerned with the ways and means of becoming techno logically the equals of the developed world," a member of the group said.

These Africans say that African-Americans have taken and should continue to take the traditions and prominence of ancient Africa's glorious past, internalizing those ideals to give ourselves a "The potential that exists for greater sense of pride and empowerment within us to develop what the Africans American society. In the say we are in the process of process of our personalizing and politicizing our heritage, developing, a "new culture", a young Africans say they mixture of the best of our past have become enlightened to and our future, can only be the idea that their race and culture can be a source of come complete in reality if we strength in their own decided we want it to be." struggle for economic and social equality after the debilitating effects of white colonization. As one African put it, "It's because the Black Americans raised their fists and said 'Black is Beautiful' that the underdeveloped countries of Africa are saying loud that we are not inferior to white Africans. In our efforts to have our voices heard and our presence rightly acknowledged in this society, we have taken the colors, sounds and images of Africa and highlighted its splendor for the whole world not just to see, but to rethink its previously held impressions about the continent."

These statements may be surprising to many of us who often complain about what we see as our continued treatment as second-class citizens in America. But for young Africans eager to shrug off the image of their continent as composed only of straw huts and drums, we sometimes self- hating Americans of African descent are the role models for how they think their countries should progress in the future.

It is interesting to note that among our desire for our roots and our African brethren's desire for the tools of advancement lies the perfect combination of both these ideals which would enhance the lives of all involved. As African-Americans we need to see that we are in the best position of any other black people to link these ideals and use them as a guide for ourselves and our communities. We are capable of reclaiming the important traditions and values of our ancestors and combining that with our greater access to education and technology, to free ourselves from our outer and inner oppression as well as help transform the status of black people around the globe.

Only after we begin to fully direct our strength of spiritual ity—that which is the essence of our motherland—toward helping to raise ourselves to our deserved place in this society and throughout the world. by Angela Forest African-American males must confront extra ordinary obstacles in this country. We always have and always will. Rather than admit collective guilt and address restitution, this society chooses to retain racism; and the media images perpetuate the DEAR racist myths rather than seek the truth about us. It is so very important that you don't take to heart and BELOVED internalize as truth these false negatives. You see, you have control over how you perceive yourself. A positive self-image and high self- esteem gives you strength, power and confidence— which in him breeds success; while a negative self- image breeds self-destruction. It takes preparation and determination to succeed in spite of obstacles. Many of your classmates call you an "oreo" because of your academic achievements. Don't get caught up in this self-destructive mind-set, believe in yourself and understand that a superior educa tion, coupled with positive focus and direction for your life, is the armament of a Black male in this society.

The choices facing you and your friends are numerous and seemingly irresistible but tempta tions and hormonal drives can get out of control and cause serious and long term compromises that you will regret. The lure of using and selling drugs, as some of your friends may be, is merely another form of "Black slavery", because drugs become A lord and master over your life and soul.

A man acts responsibly and shares his affection with someone he truly loves. He respects and and holds African women in the highest regard, not use them for empty gratification. He only High participates in creating life when he is prepared to love and nurture and care for that life...with that Self-Esteem spouse.

Die longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than the past, than education, man money , than drcumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do, It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable tknig is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past ...we cannot change the fact that people wiU act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitude.m

It is, indeed, one of the basic moral blindspots of American conservatism that its intellectual and leadership have never been focused in a proactive way on America's racial - caste legacy. This represents a fundamental moral crisis of modern American conservatism.. .American conservatives typically ignored the authoritarian and violent racial - caste ptactices and values arrayed against black Americans in southern states where the vast majority of blacks live. On the other hand, American conservatives have throughout this century, often embraced freedom movements elsewhere in the world • • in Europe, Latin America, East Asia-but always firmly resisting a proactive embrace of the black American civil rights movement as a bormfide freedom movement fully worthy of their support. So it is in the shadow of this dismal record of mainstream American conservatism vis - a'-vis black American's long and ardous quest for equality of status that new black conservatives have emerged."
