Parable of Revolution in the Hood or Do 4 Self

 Parable of Revolution in the Hood



We got up one morning and the hood was under occupation of Black Liberation Fighters, dressed in black, AK47s in hand. NO pigs in sight. All is peaceful, sun shining bright. Gentrification has ended. The settlers have vacated the homes they robbed, stole and lied to occupy and displace us. The BLF asked the settlers to leave their keys and depart without harm. The displaced were welcomed back home from Antioch, Stockton, Sacramento, Tracy, Fresno. The people were  happy and joyful to return to their hood. They danced in the street, overjoyed the reparations plan included Wall Street transferring titles to land and single family homes to the poor and dispossessed, the mentally ill and dual diagnosed, who now and forever will live under the land trust that cannot be encumbered by eminent domain. 

Under the land trust, the people shall enjoy life estates, i.e., they shaal be able to occupy their dwellings for life, no title to properties in the hood can be transferred, sub-leased or sold. The land trust belongs to people in the hood, collectively.

Do 4 Self is the theme or leit motif in the hood. Buy Black, Live Black, Love Black, Die Black is taught to every man, woman and child. To Buy Black, Live Black, Love Black, Die Black is not to hate anyone, it is to do what other people do, so why not me and you? 

Do Chinese hate other people because Chinese enjoy shopping in Chinatown? Do Mexicans hate blacks and others because Mexicans shop in Mexican town? Do whites hate blacks because whites shop in white town and enjoy shopping white? This coming holiday season go to white town and observe whites shopping white, smiling and singing Xmas carols while Black town is bleak, broke, hungry, going about with a plethora of physical and mental disabilities, foremost obesity from their addiction to white supremacy toxic food, devitalized, genetically produced with an over supply of fertilizers, insecticides and dyes. No, Blacks in the hood suffered a multiple maladies long before Covid19 appeared to take them out at a rapid rate since their central nervous system was operating at its lowest capacity. Caught between the virus and vaccine, Blacks had little resistance to the germ warfare of Dr. Fauci, the Globalists and the Chinese People's Army spread globally after trials in America, then transported to the Wuhan lab in China. If you believe a bat caused Covid 19, let me sell you the Brooklyn Bridge tomorrow at noon. 

In the Do 4 Self state of mind, we shall spend money at every opportunity with our own kind. Although we love Ancestor Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rites (and you know where you get your Last Rites, Master Sun Ra taught) Movement for ending the pain of segregation. But integration destroyed Do 4 Self in the hood. Black economics has never recovered from integration and the concomitant destruction of Black cultural and economic independence. Busing didn't change the stats on Black mis-education, alas, Public Schools continued dumbing us down with the white supremacy curriculum and did the same to white folks too. Do 4 Self Education is the only way to true Black liberation and elevation of the Hood Nation. We agree with Ancestor Fidel Castro who said, "The weapons of today are not guns but consciousness!" Black consciousness will stop you from killing your brother and sister. Consciousness will tell you when you kill your brother and sister you kill yourself." And James Brown told you the Big Payback is a Mother...." You know everything goes around comes around. So don't go down when it takes the same energy to come up! 

You've heard life is a thinking man's game, so don't think with your dickhead, use your brain. You want to spend 25 years to life in prison because you thought you owned something you can never own. To own another person's body or any part thereof is called chattel slavery or personal property slavery. There's only two forms of ownership: real estate and chattel real or personal property. You cannot and will not ever own your lover, partner, wife, husband or significant other, so be satisfied to own yourself. No matter the matter, partners come and go, alas, don't 50% of marriages end with divorce? So enjoy yourself for the moment you made share with a lover, just know these days few relationships and marriages last forever. 

Perhaps life in the hood would be better if partnerships were for life with no divorce, then lovers would work thing out, rather than flee into the night with another. Alas, flee off with the same person only with a different name. Thus you repeat the same ritual and myth from the last failed relationship. So maybe if you had solved the problem with person A, there would have been no need to depart from A to B, then from C to D, E, F, G! Now, in your fourth quarter with only the hail Mary pass left, have you learned anything or still repeating things that declare you are insane? Do you still want to own somebody or have you finally learned to let the black bird fly? For sure, if you let the black bird fly, the possibility is great the black bird will one day return home when it discovers other lovers were worse than you.

So revolution in the hood is beyond house and land, first the mental revolution will make you the new African and/or Kemetic, Aboriginal Man and Woman of planet earth and the universe. So first get your minds together and I assure you, your asses shall follow. Surely you have heard seek ye first the kingdom of God and all things shall be added unto you. And most certainly you have heard the people were destroyed for lack of knowledge, not lack of money. And even with money, didn't Ancestor James Brown tell you, "Money won't save you but time will take you out!" Solomon told you that there's a time for all things, time for love, time for hate, time for war, time for peace.....
Al Qur'an says By the Time, surely man is lost, except those who exhort one another truth....

Do 4 Self and don't worry about nothing else. Don't worry, those who have wronged us shall become our footstools. I remember when I was hustling in San Francisco at Market and Powell, the turnaround for the cable car. A white man was shining shoes so I told him to give me a shine. Muslim Brother Edward came by and went into shock at seeing the white man shining my shoes. Ancestor Brother Edward (FYI, he must be credited and honored for recruiting Black college and university students into the Nation of Islam, almost singlehandedly by selling Muhammad Speaks Newspaper to us deaf dumb and blind so called Negro students at San Francisco State University, UC Berkeley and San Jose State University. In the name of all of us Black students, I say Brother Edward, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. May Allah shower His blessings upon you in Paradise." Brother Edward said, "All praise i due Allah. Allah said the day would come when the devil will bow down to the Black Man because he knew from the beginning the Black man is god of the universe, the maker, the owner. And the black woman is the mother of civilization." And Brother Edward chuckled as those who knew him to often do.
