Use your imagination!
What should the people known as “African Americans” do if the conditions in America dont change in the next 100 years? Should we continue to “HOPE” for this system to provide equality, or abandon it totally and accept some form of nationalistic political ideas for our future. Like I said, use your imagination! This post is not for the overly sensitive type, just be real….

I heard it once said by a powerful brother that change or revolution will not come until people are 100% dissatisfied with there current conditions. With that being said, I think it is going to take at least the next 100 years for a large quantity of African Americans to totally abandon this oppressive American system.
I believe the fuel that is needed to fan the flames of the revolution will start from the ground level. Meaning our disenfranchised prison populations, the masses of black youth who have very bleak out looks about their futures, the growing homeless populations of black men who can no longer find a job that pays a living wage, this list could go on and on… I think this is where the revolution will start. These are groups of people that are ready for revolution; they only lack organization and a strategic method.
The problem is there are far too many “African Americans” still sitting on the fence when it comes to this issue, because they believe they have obtained a small piece of the pie. (The “I’m not where I used to be” mentality) Then let’s not forget all the people who hold view points somewhere in between.
I don’t even know exactly where I fall on this scale, but I was only using my imagination…
