Read the essay below. Afterwards,
try to get the best understanding you can of the following questions.
(1) Is every Black individual a potential Black Power Economist?
(2) When several Black Power Economists get together, should
one expect everything to go smoothly? Why
or why not?
(3) What will be the role of an Independent Black Power
Economics Governing Body?
(4) Whose wealth will Black Power Economists govern?
One Black Power Economist working alone is good. Two Black
Power Economists working together is better. Three Black Power
Economists working together is better still, and so on. As you
practice what you preach in your personal life, look for opportunities
to see who else might be a Black Power Economist, and contact
those persons. Determine to what extent you all can work on a
common platform, and work it to the max. As you work it, look
for opportunities to identify and join forces with additional
Black Power Economists.
Expect complications. Some individuals who claim to be Black Power
Economists will be something other than that. Many will still
be learning how to function as a Black Power Economist. Some will
be sincere, some will not. Be aware.
At some point, probably the sooner the better, Black Power Economists
will establish a Black Power Economics Governing Body. The purpose
of that body will be to set up an organized system of activities
that will coordinate and "manage" the specific wealth
of Black People in a manner that benefits Black People the most.
The only wealth that can be managed initially will be that of
the Black Power Economists themselves.
Black Power Economists should not expect or seek personal gains.
As a matter of fact, a Black Power Economist should expect to
live a relatively low standard of living until the Black Power
Economics system takes root. No decisions should be made based
on disproportionately individual considerations. A Black Power
Economics system should be instituted that addresses the needs
of the collective. The individual and society benefit best when
the collective benefits first.
The Black Power Economics Governing Body can not govern the wealth
of those who do not contribute to a Black Power Economics system.
Black Power Economists will, in effect, create a Black Power Economics
system, and the masses of Black People will become a part of that
system at whatever pace the system attracts them or they gravitate
toward it.
Every Black individual is a potential Black Power Economist. One
of the ongoing objectives of Black Power Economists will be to
recruit and welcome as many Black individuals into the Black Power
Economics system as speedily as possible.
