Savant's Great Words

Perhaps more BACKWARD Africans and African Americans have a silent war going on between them. More ADVANCED and PROGRESSIVE African Americans and Africans are at war with common enemy--the imperialistic white ruling class and its negro flunkies.

The Black middle class--by which I mean college educated professionals, intellectuals, modest size entrepreneurs, etc--constitute about a fifth or fourth of the entire black population of the USA. About 1% constitues a wealthy upper class. The great majority of African-Americans are working class folk, people of modest means if not simply impoverished. The great majority even of whites are also working class, often poor but not as often poor as are AA (or Latino) masses. I would like to point out--and our black petty bourgeois and bourgeois ought to remember this--that the backbone of the Black freedom Movement of the 1960s (going all the way back to the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955), was none other than those poor Black working class folk whom you now so contemptuously speak of as "hood___ ", or scorn for being so "ghetto. "
