UNITED VOICES FOR A COMMON CAUSE

Rosa Parks worried and warned that young blacks had absolutely no sense and appreciation of the titanic battles that she and the civil rights leaders waged to make America live up to its much betrayed promise of justice and equality. In a reflective interview, years later, she did not absolve herself and other blacks of her generation of blame for failing to pass on the torch. She called for a redoubling of the effort to make young blacks as she put it know what it means to be black in America today.

The Jewish holocaust lasted only 12 years, but the Jewish community has set up museums all around the country insuring that they and the rest of the world never forget that infamous period; knowing that if you forget, history has a way of repeating itself. The Jew says never again and they mean every word of it.

In contrast there is growing sentiment among some of the politically active younger generation of African Americans that the past is the past and it should not be disturbed. Their attitude is to forget about all that took place in the past.

Willie Lynch in his indoctrination of how to make and control a slave made the following statement: “The black slave after receiving this indoctrination shall carry on and will become self refueling and self generating for hundreds of years, maybe thousands.” He was also quoted as saying that it is “A foolproof method for controlling your Black slaves with a guarantee if used correctly will last for hundreds of years.”

The Black youth of today in their misguided thinking and lack of wisdom have no idea how their wanting to ignore the past plays into the hands of the Willie Lynch Syndrome. History is not only repeating itself it has never been interrupted and is an ongoing, uninterrupted saga, insofar, as the plight of the African American is concerned. It is only through ignorance and the lack of knowledge of self and the historical meaning of the n-word that today’s scenario of contempt for self is playing out.

Not all African Americans are taken in by this self-defeating way of thinking. There are many Blacks who do not succumb to the practice of greeting each other with the n-word, but yet they do condone it when others do so. They are the ones who talk the talk but when it comes to action are incapable of walking the walk.

United Voices for a Common Cause was formed for the benefit of those who indeed are ready to walk the walk and are more than just talk. Presently, it appears that there is no direction within Black Communities in the USA, based on the social, economical and political atmosphere. UVCC says lets unite our efforts become one voice for a common cause and take back our self-respect, pride, honor and dignity, take a firm stand by saying it loud and saying it proud that we no longer are going to be somebody’s nigga. Four hundred years has been long enough. To learn more about United Voices for a Common Cause please go to: http://www.theunitedvoices.org
