READ OR NOT. THE CHOICE IS YOURS.
Blacks do not read the hundreds, the thousands, of books that could be of benefit to them, in their alleged quest for identity and "consciousness!"
Instead, they prefer to blame others for what "they" have not "taught" them in school, in church or in the media; thereby seeking to escape "self-responsibility," an accursed word, in the hood where glorification of the victim profits its predators!
This is the root of the problem underlying black America's continued repression: ignorance of self--"black" self and human self!
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, " says Hosea 4:6. This means all people, including blacks.
No one can eat for you, drink for you, breathe for you, learn for you! These are definite duties and needs that only you can do for yourself!
So, if you would be free, read about yourself, study about yourself, so you may know what to seek and how! In so doing, it would be well to learn about and to study about other people and other things for balance.
"Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I will also ignore your children," concludes Hosea 4:6!
Read or not. The choice is yours!
