We ate living in trouble 

times Suddenly we see crisis 

in even' direction. Not in modern 

history has there been so 

many challenges facing 

America in concept. There is 

deteriorating security from 

Afghanistan and Somalia to a 

devil's mess in tne .Middle 

East. There is confrontation 

with Iran and eroding relation 

with Russia to a threat of 

nuclear confrontation with 

North Korea. V 

In Somalia, an Islamic militia 

hay seized control of jfta 

country. Mexico's future is 

uncertain after a close presidential 

electismthat may not be 

settled until December 2006. 

Oil has surpassed $78 a barrel. 

If this is not enough - the 

essential tool to protect minority 

interests in the United States: 

the Voting Rights Act of 196S, 

has beer question by Southern 

conservatives whites. Thev 

c'.im that the act as written 

would single out their states 

and localities for federal oversight 

without crediting them for 

strides on racial issues. The 

Texaus who rtopptd the vote

Tom Delay's redistricting 

movement and mt giving a

How America Made Niggas! 

(P-- rt 

by Anthony AsadvHan Samad 

In the third part of ihis series 

of how the longest lasting "Made 

In America comm dity. Niggers, 

continue to sur ve and have 

reat grandchildren (Niggas), I 

must examine the crowning ;hr-Htenstic- s 

that piomotcs disunity 

nd dvfunction amongst a once 

proud people, preeci and jealousy 

No matt r what von think (oi how 

von think) about this discussion 

on eradicating these words (an 

according to your responses, 

the discusron is now a national 

one), we cannot deny what 

African Americans, as a people, 

have become as a result of a four 

hundred ycai effort to frame 

Blacks in a context 

sub-human 

and marginalize their equality. 

What we once could not have 

(liberty, equality and property) 

because of law and culture, has 

turned to what we must have (and 

not necessarily want others to 

have). The social politic of mainstream 

access and limits that have 

been placed on Blacks (and others) 

have created wh.u I call "the 

only one" syndrome that we, as a 

people, must somehow come up 

one V a time instead of all together. 

Instead of wanting for our 

brothas (and sistas) what we want 

for ourselves, many of us want 

everything tor ourselves and 

nothing for our brotha. Many of 

us have developed this "only one" 

mentality that causes much consternation 

when another one of us 

joins the land of "milk and 

honey." Instead of celebrating 

another black person's success, 

we feel like we have to compete 

and are jealous of their very presence. 

Our greed (to have it all 

by ourselves) turns to envy, then 

jealousy, the-- 1 enmity. Minister 

Louis Farrakhan once said that 

"Ep'7 is the Mother of Mudcr." 

So what do we now see in our 

communities? We see folk 

"hatin"' on each 

other becauss 

they succeed in pulling themselves 

up against seemingly 

impossible odds. We see our 

young men killing 08ch',pther

fl. We 

ur children dumbing tnemselve 

uown, afraid to let their own 

lights shine for tear tht some-bod- v 

might think they're "all 

that" and be assaulted 'remember 

Akeehh artd the Bee schol', 

John MrWhorter calls it children 

suffering from fear of ,ng seen 

as "Acting White '). they play 

dumb or act like Niggas, thus 

reinfon-n- what Whites once 

truly bel.veo (and some still 

believe) that Blacks are inferior. 

We know our children are bright. 

What they are not--- au inspired. 

We see black leadership fighting 

to be the HN1C (Head Nigger In 

Charge) so that they can deliver 

our communities to the feet of die 

economic and political power 

broken outside our communities. 

And Niggas now do anything for 

money, from slangin' drugs to 

sliding up and down on poles 

naked. 

Thif form of niggerism 

escapes no segment of the community. 

From political leaders, to 

business leaders, to the preacher 

wars, all of them could be doing 

well but still are jealous of the 

prracher's success across the 

way, or the businessman's success 

acrosi the way, or the politician's 

success across the way. They 

have to bt the only one--n-ot a 

leader, but the leader. I call it, uV 

"take me to your leader" syndrome. 

Black people are the onl 

people that have to have "a 

leader." This is a true vestige of 

slavery wher the slavemaster 

would pick one "field slave" to 

come to the big house and express 

theii concerns about the abuses of 

the overseer. In others words, 

"All you Niggers can't come in 

my house pick one." And black 

people, 140 years after slavery 

has ended, are still fighting over 

who's going to be the one to get 

into the house to speak to 

'Massa." Everybody else cn 

have multiple leaders, in eveiy 

industry. Ask white people to take 

you to their leader. They damn 

sure wouldn't take you to 

President Bush, They'll ask you 

what you'ee talking .aboutw 

Because they're taught, fiorn the 

time they're children, mat they're 

all leaders. That's where the sense 

of ' ntitlemenf come from A 

sense of entitlement that u absent 

in Niggerism, because the Niggei 

uvnks that he's the only one enti 

tied and nobody else should oe 

Moreover, if he doesn't "come 

up" the" he wants nobody elc to 

. ucceed either And now w 're 

allowing black children to be 

taught that hey're oil Niggas We 

have, sho' nuff, gor backwards 

when black people go from most 

white people thinking they're 

Niggers to black people thinkm' 

of themselves that same way. 

So much so, that Comedian 

Damon Wayans has tried to trademark 

the word m he can com-m- t 

di'ize "Nigger" by putting it 

on Tine U.S. Copyright 

Office has turned him down 

twice, but he intends to continue 

to pursue it. Just like a Nigger not 

to let their own greed get in the 

way of a whole people's degradation. 

But there's probably a whole 

bunch of people jealous that they 

didn't think of it first. That's how 

Niggas roll. They put greed and 

jealousy above all else.
