King: Tired of Marching for What should have been mine

“I’m tired of marching,” he confessed. “Tired of marching for something that should’ve been mine at birth.” –Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1963)

So if King in 1963 was tired, what about us today? 63 years later we not tired also? Oh no, we are 100% comfortable as hell right here fighting at the bottom for things people won centuries ago. Unlike Muhammad and other notable people, even Gandhi, King was fighting for something we should automatically have; the same with Mandela. They didn’t fight to spread Pan-Africanism around the world or expand Africa into Europe, they were not behind any economic miracle like Hayato Ikeda.¹And it is clear King understood this fro this quote. It is a shame that we still think it is okay to count BLM as a victory movement. For getting yellow paint on black streets.

We need to advance our discussion. or else we are going to be stuck having the same discussions our grandparents and parents had for eternity. While Japan increases their productivity, and Scandinavian countries increase their educational system we will be left discussing things our forefathers flagged as issues. Always at the bottom in fear of Mexicans and what will follow them that threatens our status as the less educated people on Earth.

We should not be fighting to be at level 1 when everyone else is born at level 1. But that is where we are. Some ask what did King achieve. He achieved what most people have at birth. King did not achieve a nation, like how the Jews stole Palestine. Are the potatoes farming Irish Americans who arrived in America almost as poor as African Americans still at level 1 asking or level 1 crumbs? What about Arab Americans who just arrived? Go look at their unity and their specific demands on candidates. Go ask the Jewish Americans what they want. Some are asking for Israelis to be funded to continue the genocide. They are not at “I need a job, stop the competition at the border. Where is reparations on the demand list? It has been replaced with absolutely nothing yet Obama (the new American dad) is telling the brothers to support Kamala. Because she will reform education in the inner cities? Bring back affirmative action? Bring Reparations? no, because she has female body parts and is “black”. Wow, how the standards have dropped. Kamala is offering cheaper groceries in exchange for continuing the genocide.

King worked and died so we could be at level 1. And the hard question is, why are we still at level 1? With politicians like Harris offering us new nothing at all.

When the election is over will African Americans be happy with what Trump or Harris offers them when all they are doing is being allowed to stay at level one? Fighting off poor hopeful Mexicans at the border? To do what? To accomplish what? So African Americans will have the monopoly on low-skilled jobs in their own country. And people see this as something to be proud of. Protecting the bottom for blacks. Do you think the Jews (who came long after), or the Italians, or the Irish are worried about the border because they want those low-income zero skilled jobs? But King already won that, why are we still waiting for someone to repackage it and offer it as progress?

Sounds like Crumb Theory to me. All these decades after King the issues King faced as was tired we are still dealing with. But this time around, decades later, they are respectable problems for a people to still have. In all this time we have not moved from level 1 to demand something new. How much longer? In 2055 will a new group come and threaten blacks for their bottom jobs when the Mexicans move to level 3 and are now the bankers and business owners of America? Because I promise you if they come in at zero, they will not stay there.

Tomorrow the new threat to the black economy will be when AI is integrated to eliminate low-paying jobs. The agendas of people in general are set by the very same people who claim to be serving them. Why would people discuss Mexicans at the border as a threat when millions of jobs are lost through companies setting up in Asia? But that never comes up like the border crisis. So it is a Red Herring. People can connect with humans climbing a fence and “stealing their jobs” not so easy when it is companies setting up in Thailand. But Trump’s or Obama’s visual wall physically stopping people is saleable— you can see it physically stopping human traffic and it feels good (if nothing else). So Facebook, an American company, hiring 10,000 people to do moderation is not going to be sold as a negative like tangible Mexicans crossing the border. I bet if you look at all the ways the African American is losing out on the economy the Mexican concern is a scapegoat.

Hola Senior

So someone (not the people) slipped in immigration, women’s rights to kill unborn kids, and the border, and in the confusion, zero Pan-African topics are being represented.

Guys in the next presidential election I will run for Black POTUS and I will be the first Transgender LGBTQ+ identifying POTUS and I will promise you access to air. You will vote for me because I will take you from where King left off to one step before. Hopefully Obama will still be able to use race to pressure you into voting for nothing.

X vs KING

We would not need Black Lives Matter. Just imagine King’s complaint below, and coming back to life to see us painting up the streets asking for the same stuff he was tired of fighting for 60 years ago. That battle was won by every other group that came to America! We were doing way better in the 60s and 70s than now. Even the hip-hop was clean and representative.

“I’m tired of marching,” he confessed. “Tired of marching for something that should’ve been mine at birth.” –Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1963)

B/c we would own our own banks, hospitals, housing projects, universities, cinemas, movie production houses, and factories and not be begging nobody for jobs and equality. We would generate our own equality! King integrated us into someone else’s house. I think he realized this later on when he made the comment about “Integrated into a burning house”

While King did understand the need for African American industry and business the process of integration set that aside for sharing the same toilet rights as Whites. And this is why BLM is still asking for better integration or better help. It is not ever going to reflect on concepts from the NOI called DO FOR SELF. Malcolm just asked the White man to take his foot off of our neck so we can fix ourselves. Fix our communities, fix our families, fix our economies. The more they help, the more we sink.

No wonder whites don’t like NOI. It was all about building our own. Way better if we beg to fit in. Always looking for help and handouts.

I have no problem with King, I admire him and he is my icon too. But I have to also speak the truth. Integration in South Africa or in America did not work. Not because integration is BAD! But because there are no pacts between lions and lambs. We are not in a position to be integrated to be exploited again. We need to become equals first and you cannot be an equal if you own nothing and beg for everything else.

And it makes economic sense for whites to celebrate King over Malcolm. Integration has yet to address the issue of economic empowerment. This is why as a group all of our little money goes right black into white capitalist systems. And we have to look at rappers boasting about how much White gold they have access to.
