FOOD, CLOTHING AND SHELTER/ BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY
Over the past five years, I have met more New Afrikan/Black revolutionaries and community activists for truth and justice than ever before. I have met hood gangstas down with the movement, Black people young and old seeking freedom, justice and equality through revolutionary change. Many of these people have asked me, at what point do we resort to violent revolution. Many feel that it is already justified, and I have trouble disagreeing with them. We do need to advance the struggle and movement, and it may need to be violent, but we have not yet established the numbers that must precede violent revolutionary self-defense.
I have analyzed some of the history of revolution. I have examined the possible scenarios we face and sought a solution. This EduBlog will discuss the status of our revolution, what we must do before we resort to violent revolutionary self-defense, and why. I will provide a plan called the "RBG Educate, Agitate,Organize and Unify (EAOU)" which calls for internet activism and local community street actions and shows you how easily you can start doing them. By engaging in RBG EAOU, we may create the change we seek. If not, then I expect that we will at least enable ourselves to move to the next step in our revolutionary transformation and Re-Afrikanization process.
Through the internet, documentary films, radio, and word of mouth, many New Afrikans are now awake and aware of the current police state and Amerikkka empire we reside in. Based on five years of online teaching, learning and intense reaearch (12-15 hours a day), including the study of most, if not all, Afrikan centered, revolutionary and progressive web sites, online radio, and internet television programs, as well appraising the way the masses of Black people are currently struggling and suffering, I have made an informed guestment that only 15 to 20 percent of us have been awaken and are involved at some level in the current New Afrikans Liberation Struggle and Movement.
The demographic we face is one where 80 to 85 percent of our people are trapped in a white folks left-right, two party political paradigm (politrix). At least fifteen percent of us are awake and aware of government corruption, 9/11, and the present economic situation/ fall of Amerikkka, while about five percent understand the central banking conspiracy that lies behind all these issues. About five percent of us are prepared to make a stand right now, however, a very tiny percentage of those are active full time. The only hope for us as a people is that this five percent gets active right now.
See: Facts on the Black or African American Population
http://www.census.gov/pubinfo/www/NEWafamML1.html
Five percent of Blacks is over 200,000 people! If those people take the step from overstanding to physical action, it will enable us to change this country and the world. In fact, if only a handful of people in every chocolate city implement RBG EAOU Programs, we can increase those numbers of people who are informed, while also increasing the numbers of informed people who are active. When informed individuals see others taking action, they are more likely to do so too. When those who are not informed see people take action, they will pay more attention to the issues.This is a fact I have witness through my own efforts and labor.
I hear and encounter many people in the movement discuss the need for violent revolution. Revolution is possible with only five percent of the population active. However, that five percent can only succeed if a majority of the rest of the masses of our people are sympathetic to our fight and cause. Violent revolution is a last resort, as inoccent women, children and babies die. Also, If it is attempted prematurely, it will be easily interpreted as a riot or insurrection.We revolutionaries will be projected by the white and negro establishment and their white supremacy media as a fringe group that is a threat to public safety and security. Revolution must follow a process that begins with non-violent socio-political and cultural action as we are presently engaged in.
We must make more of the masses of our people aware of the need for change. We must first disseminate and intensify non-violent action (EAOU) on a large scale. This gets our message out to the masses of our people. It shows our commitment and credibility, building sympathy for our cause amongst the the people and even family members and friends working within the government and for the police. Once that is established, human and civil rights can be fully declared. Government authorities then have the choice between either respecting our rights or forcefully opposing them. The sympathy of the masses of our people will give us an important and necessary strategic advantage at this time; namely, it can dissuade authorities from using full state-terrorist force.
When the revolution has reached the point where an authority must decide between respecting rights or using force, there is a good chance it will use force. It is a poor decision on their part. We as New Afrikan revolutionaries now have permission to take our cause to the level of violent action in self-defense. We are a non-violent group that was assaulted by a violent, racist oppressor. The masses of our people will be sympathetic to to our cause and offer support if we have properly educated them. Sympathetic members of the government that are Black will support us from the inside. Members of neighboring countries and their governments may also offer support.
Let's look at the American Revolution as a successful example. The people demonstrated their opposition to taxation without representation. They authored a "Declaration of Independence." They took physical action just to the edge of non-violence (some may argue the Boston Tea Party was violent because it destroyed property). The British government then became the violent aggressor. Troops shot protesters in the Boston Massacre. Finally, at Lexington and Concord, armed troops were on a mission to disarm the public. A group of citizens stood in their way. Shots were fired, and a revolutionary war began. The British were seen as the aggressor. While a small percentage of the colonists were actively engaging in the revolution, they had the sympathy of a great majority by being first non-violent but very assertive, then defensive actions.
RBG EDUCATE, AGITATE, ORGANIZE AND UNIFY COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
Here is the RBG method that we will use, a method of successful New Afrikan/Black Revolution in Progress:
Exhaust the Current Political Process by Proper Political Education
First,our people must be aware of their oppression, their rights as human beings and how those rights are being oppressed (remember that a lot our people will never even come to accept this fact). Those who accept must then take the step of action. They must address their grievances to their representatives in government and vote accordingly.--"We've already did this and it don't/ain't working".
This is already an area we are failing to accomplish. If you vote for a candidate for office who is not committed one hundred percent Black peoples rights, you are willingly granting permission for others tocontinue to deny us our rights.
The mission of any political initiative within the system is to find candidates who stand for our rights, to only vote for those candidates, and to actively support their campaigns. Here are the qualifications I determined are representative of a people's candidate:
1. The people's candidate is not supported by corporate or foreign lobbying and financing. 2. The people's candidate does not participate in elitist think tanks, secret organizations, or secret meetings (i.e. Bilderberg, CFR, Skull & Bones, Trilateral Commission). 3. The people's candidate's policies are in line with the U.S. Constitution. 4. The people's candidate supports a non-interventionist foreign policy discouraging military aggression. 5. The people's candidate supports policies for other issues, such as economics, education, and regulations, which keep choices, services, and property in the hands of individual citizens and local communities.

In creating your political education materials and programs from RBG content (handouts, flyers,posters, powerpoint and picture show lectures/discussions) here are
some questions education relevant to Afrikan peoples development should Ask and Answer:
FUQ (frequently unasked questioned)
* Who am I?
* Why am I where I am?
* Why do I think as I do?
* Could I think differently?
* Why am I feeling the way I feel right now?
* What will happen if I ignore this feeling?
* Is there another way to interpret the world / and my situation in it?
* What part do/did I play in my situation?
* Why do I expect my circumstances to change if I continue to do the same things the same way?
* Is this way of living my last resort or is it Plan A?
The other vital tool you will need to keep your finger on the pulse of the struggle and movement, and thus be in a position to properly educate, agitate, organize and unify the mass of our people is a feed reader/ RBG uses Google Labs Reader. Once you access ony RSS feed orom our tool bar you can then suscribe to that feed in you own reader. You also have the option of sending the feed to your iGoogle Page.
