The greatest trick the devil performed was convincing the world that he didn’t exist. I heard this quote when I was watching a movie called The Usual Suspects and it had a resounding impact on my cerebral senses. I thought to myself, damn that is so profoundly true and even more so as it relates to Africans/Black folks freedom and slavery. I guess in today’s era that would probably equate to the white man convincing the world that racism does not exist or the African/ Black person being convinced that he or she is not a slave in one form or another.. Both have some degree of merit and ground to stand on however, I choose the latter.

We on the whole have never ever truly completely realized the sanctity of liberation.. That is to say that we have been perpetually bound to the white populace by design in some manner or another. It is almost as though without this virtual attachment one’s demise is imminent whereas the survival of both may be dependent upon it. We have always contended that we have been emancipated but at the end of the day we are just free to be manipulated and conform to a form of slavery that has been ingrained in the institution of racism in white society and implemented flawlessly with our assistance. We have always capitulated and never offered up a formidable resistance nor steadfast conviction to liberty or death..

Unwittingly or not we have been complicit in allowing ourselves to be inadvertently or overtly manipulated, cajoled, influenced or forced into a subjugated existence. Why is this? Some would venture to say that this phenom is a direct result of 400 years of the cruelest and most harsh treatment towards any human under the institution of slavery which I am inclined to accept to an extent. But you see there comes a point in time when one must come to ones senses and know that you are a human being that deserves better and will accept nothing less than equal treatment across the board for one’s self and all non-whites….Today we suffer from a mental slavery that has emaciated our people and all but thoroughly stagnated our progress.

Those of us who have realized enormous success and have assimilated into white society have nearly forgotten their roots and how the way for them had been paved through hard work and sacrifices from those Africans/Blacks that came before them. They have been lulled asleep by the glitter and illusions of success and have failed miserably to continue to carry the torch lit by so many great African/Black leaders and ordinary folk decades ago..How quickly they have forgotten…Yet they will complain and sulk about recognition not being bestowed upon them by the white populace as though they require stroking by them to feel relevant.

How shameful and disrespectfully arrogant of these sanitized Negroes to be so dismissive of their supporters, their admirers and their people. We who have the utmost reverence for them are offered no recognition or camaraderie. They stand not for the day-to-day struggle and causes of the African/Black underclass. They are hesitant lend themselves and their platforms to speak out about social injustices in an effort to galvanize the masses as one. By standing together we’d have the leverage necessary to impact a constructive social reconstruction that would be equally representative of all non-whites. These folks have become so far removed from the plight of those whose shoes they themselves once walked in because they now are rubbing shoulders with their white counterparts and they dare not risk their new-found fame!

Influence of social proof and evidence is masked in many methods of effective persuasion. Most folks are unaware of the various subtle suggestive ways that have an enormous influence on the decisions we make as well as the behavior we exhibit. It is by these measures or methods that a high percentage of folks across many diverse groups are able to be controlled. We are in-cognizant of how media, education, religion, government or any vehicle that disseminates information or how groups of people’s actions influence us. Whenever we fall in lock step without challenge or question, we become like herded cattle that can be easily manipulated and lead. If we see that the majority folks are trending in a certain direction most of us follow without question regardless.

This is what is referred to as social evidence or social proof.  Some times the information is accurate but most times it is not. It is mostly by design and is highly effective because it targets the human psyche and places us at odds with our conscious and values. This is a subject matter that I’ll delve into greater detail at another time. So I will ask you to take a moment to think and look inwardly into just how much of your life is really controlled by you and always bear in mind that;

Things aren’t always as they might appear to be. Just when we think we know, we don’t! Sometimes there is a demand that force be met with equal if not a greater force to extricate ones self from the shackles of enslavement.
