European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - June 14, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Be our guest 1african-americans should gear up for Power play Timothy Vashawn Lollis from the Onset of the african american struggle in the new world our cry has been a painful cry. A rape and destruction of a people. Forcefully divorced from the Richness of Africa the dance of Africa the drum of Africa robbed of our creativity our sciences Art language religion but most importantly knowledge of self. An outcry that was Only to have America Reward our pc actual cry with the three fifths Compromise Jim Crow ism and the brutal death of our leaders. The african american holocaust was indeed a travesty but times Are upon us to look past these wrongdoings. Not to Overlook mind you just look past. Our internal wounds arc destroying the african american family and to expound on a much too expounded subject is pointless. Wco re a bigger people than that now. Its a tragedy that our youth is raised in a society that never teaches minds to love themselves. Young people witness everything in their world from television sitcoms to toys to school teachers depicted As caucasian and righteous. Everything ranging from gangsters to african american politicians arc portrayed As Black and sinful. Our Young people feel they be been failed and with just cause. They be been  by the education system misinformed by the political Structure under classed by the economic Structure mishandled by the Federal penal system ignored by the capitalist social order and totally let Down by the watered Down timid Meek heartless voice of so called african american leadership. We must have a sound foundation of knowledge and educate one another. We must be historically and currently aware. Gone arc the times when we ignorantly depend on the Media to keep us properly informed. In covering the struggle in the �?T60s, the Media described brother Malik Shabazz Malcolm x As a hate driven whore Monger in Early years but never repealed this image after they Learned of his retracted views of the race problem in America. The Media also showed Whites chanting a a Darky and a Nigger go Home Quot but failed to show the Whites who died alongside Blacks in the fight for Equality. In recent comments caucasians have expressed a deep concern that perhaps somehow the wheels have shifted in reverse. They Point the Finger at the african american who they say has an unfair Edge because of racial quotas. They also feel Many african americans particularly the upcoming youth Are bred with a natural hate or distaste for White America. First understand that the african american Community does no to control Federal housing regulations Job quotas la books or major industries. We can to physically discriminate against anyone. We have Little say in this entire economic sociopolitical judicial religious order practice in North America. Our youth see this and in the same Way they be reached Back and grasped a love for their ancestry which they express in their rap songs and dress the Black psyche has also produced an anger of Savage injustices. If you done to like what you Sec then take a look in the Mirror because if there a any hate generated its a hate that was born from hate. Therefore the african american Community is not at fault because the american system in playing catch up tries to conceal a doctrine of racism behind terms like reverse discrimination quotas qualifications and managerial decisions. Racism is still a very real part of american society but there is Hope. First the african american Community must become self sufficient. We must embrace a nationalist philosophy that will make our Community a contender in the Overall american Economy. By doing this we give our youth alternatives to drugs crime and s&5 Wes boo her Malcolm xes Media image was fuzzy. Prostitution. The african american masses must realize that we can never fit into the mainstream american Economy As individuals we must move collectively. I find no satisfaction in boycotting a korean store in the Community. Whether the koreans Are racist or not they do possess a Quality to be emulated and that is self sustainment. We can then Send an Appeal out to the rest of the american Economy and Only then can we sit Down with America and negotiate problems that afflict the african american Community. Its the Silver Rule of the land a Power does no to respect anything but More  the japanese received reparations for pain inflicted on their people by the american government years ago but when you get past the fake smiles luncheons and treaty signing the Silver Rule exists. America does no to love and respect the japanese people it loves and respects the japanese yen. Timothy Vashawn Voltis works in Wiesbaden Germany.
