Reins Of Power: Intracultural Workings Of Black Culture And Its Survival

For such purposes as enriching the reins of power, advancing political and social agendas, and controlling the physical and mental assets of black culture, perhaps it’s widely believed by African Americans that black people in America are constantly being used as tokens, pawns, and henchmen on a scale never seen before. As a result, insane intracultural backstabbing, greed, and self-destructive behaviors (cannibalism) have taken deep root. What’s ultimately revealed on the surface from all the devastating undercurrents is a slave mentality that stifles the intracultural advancement of black people, because black culture cannot effectively collaborate with each other.

Conventional wisdom tells us that most critical infrastructure and assets in America are neither owned nor controlled by black culture. What is critical infrastructure and assets? Well, they’d include healthcare facilities, medical facilities, housing, policing, educational institutions, vocational training facilities, mass media (w/24-hours cable TV news cycle and network), technology services, transportation services, entertainment venues, multinational businesses that are worth billions, and a host of other infrastructure and assets that are equal in criticality.

So, is individual wealth more important than “intracultural” wealth? For further contemplation, given our country’s turbulent past and present history, does black culture have an obligation to sustain itself economically, socially, and more importantly, healthwise within America’s broad and thriving culture? If your answer is no, then why not? In the same vein, what’s brought to light is how intracultural black culture Gen X, Y, and Z will respond.
