If someone else has control over the mind-manufacturing industry, one is essentially a slave in the controller\u2019s hands. This lack of control that was lost in the pit of slavery and Colonialism means that present-day Black civilization is still living in a white man\u2019s world. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is the significance of the white man\u2019s ownership and control over the mind-manufacturing industry?<\/span><\/span> <span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It means that as a Black parent, your child is not your own. Just like it was on the plantation of old, from the day that the Black child is born his mind is injected with <strong>the Negro blue-print<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> This means that he is instantly being programmed to think in a way that benefits the owners of the plantation and to the detriment of his own race. It is the presence of this Negro blueprint in the Black man\u2019s head that today causes him to collaborate in his own genocide. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Removing this Negro blueprint must therefore be a central component of any REPARATIONS policy.<\/span><\/span> <span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Without ownership and control of <strong>THE EDUCATION PROCESS<\/strong>, the minds of the newly compensated people would still continue to work against themselves in a way that would perpetuate their <strong>CHRONIC DEPENDENCY.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> \u201cOwnership of the education process\u201d should not be misunderstood as mere ownership and control of schools and universities, but also <strong>CONTROL OF THE THOUGHT PROCESS<\/strong> that sits within the books and the thought process that governs the television. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">INTENSIVE effort backed by generous resources must be placed on The Project of Re-education. <\/span><\/span> <span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>The people that have been mis-educated by the slave master to see themselves as separate peoples called Bajans, Trinidadians, Jamaicans, Afro-Americans, Ghananians and Nigerians, etc, must be re-educated to see themselves as integral states of ONE BLACK NATION.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> When it is recognized that artificial barriers of separate national identity were specifically created to facilitate the slave master\u2019s control of the plantation, it will become clear that PAN-AFRICAN THINKING is the only life-boat for the drowning peoples of Africa wherever they are scattered. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This new thinking can only be achieved if it becomes a priority on every school\u2019s agenda, and <strong>the bottom line of every church sermon<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The truth must be faced that the education system that was inherited from the Slave-master was designed to keep the plantation running on a more sophisticated level. Better and more highly skilled SERVANTS was thegoal, and it is not an accident that THE EDUCATED CLASS of Blacks today are for the most part ORDERS-TAKERS. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There is absolutely no way how the cycle of dependency and subservience will be broken without the introduction of a new education system that has as its goal the development of <strong>AFRICAN NATIONHOOD<\/strong> in place of the present goal of Black servant-hood.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Seeing that the Black mind is still being invaded on all sides by the visions and ideas of the white man\u2019s house, its rehabilitation will call for the setting up of a vast and all-encompassing PAN-AFRICAN CENTERED education system.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>It must be realized that NATIONHOOD is first and foremost AN IDEA that needs to be cultivated<\/strong>,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">and it could never have been cultivated in the past while the plantation was being run by white owners who wanted to keep Black slave hands tied to the plantation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> If the idea of <strong>BLACK NATIONHOOD<\/strong> is not being cultivated in our present religious and education systems it is because such an idea will make slaves question <strong>their landless-ness and their powerless-ness<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">All the teachings, be they religious or otherwise that have bound the allegiance of Black peoples to their separate estates in the plantation economy are complimentary to the global schemes of THE WHITE WORLD ORDER.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>The United States of America is AN IDEA that had to be planted and cultivated<\/strong>,<strong> and it was cultivated essentially for the betterment of white civilization.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Separate groups of Europeans were taught THE IDEA of the USA, and the idea was not considered inconsistent with their religion.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It is only slavery-inherited religion that holds the vision of BLACK NATIONHOOD to be unimportant and irrelevant to the pursuit of Godliness.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> The white man had the wisdom to know that his personal security and prosperity depended on the establishment of A COMMON NATIONHOOD with <strong>a land base.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Those who are presently known as JEWS also knew that scattered as they were in minority positions all over the globe, they needed a central land base that made NATIONHOOD a reality, and hence they set up the state of Israel.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Black man must ask himself, Where is my vision of Black nationhood?

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Am I contented with <strong>the island identity<\/strong> that the slave-master gave me so that I would remain<strong> a powerless satellite, always lingering on the outskirts of white prosperity?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">None but the most drunken can fail to acknowledge the need to cultivate the idea of <strong>BLACK NATIONHOOD<\/strong> with the prospect of putting it into reality.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> If white men can come together from all parts of U-rope and build their white strongholds, why should the Black man not be doing the same?
