University of DC Forum Interviews Dr. Umar Johnson
- Thread starter ↓R↑LYB
- Start date
Starting a business is one thing but sustaining it is another. African Americans don't often sustain their businesses...shyt most business owners don't. I think a lot of that comes from not developing yourself properly as an individual before you bring on followers. As much as I love and adore Marcus Garvey, he did make financial mistakes and squandered some of the money. I would say as an individual I am developing myself to be smarter with my personal finances - paying off debt and living on a budget and also learning some basic business know how. I don't consider myself "conscious" but I don't see anything wrong with the approach I'm taking and I do think being another educated business owner would be beneficial to the AA community...maybe not on the grand scale. I'm not just at a point now where I'm able to.

Firstly, what mistakes did he make and how did he squander his money? The UNIA was heavily infiltrated by the FBI and some of his closest associates turned out to be FBI agents whose job it was destroy his organization.
Secondly, there's no such thing as a perfect revolution. Whether it was the UNIA, Panthers, Moorish Science Temple, or NOI. Even the Harvest Institute run by Dr. Anderson has problems.
Obviously we should learn from his mistakes of those who came before us, but Garvey's impact far outweighed the errors he made while alive.
On the flip side, it's my personal opinion every black person should be involved in some organization whose goal is for the betterment of the race. You might not be ready/willing to take on a leadership position, but you can still play a part in organizing others.
But like I always state, don't mind me, I'm just another lost nikka

How would you implement a system, that cannot be infilitrated or even be harmed? Is it as simple as like minded individuals?

First things first, you might as well call me Sway cause I ain't got the answers
With that out the way, when you're in a hostile environment and behind enemy lines, being infiltrated is to be assumed. But there are some ways to work around it.
- Don't have the organization have one leader, so if one goes, the organization/movement can still continue
- Foster an environment of training the next generation. There should be multiple people who'll be able to take up the mantle and run with it in case the leader dies, gets arrested, assassinated, etc.
- Have a sector of your organization outside enemy territory. We should have a home base in Africa where in the event cacs try to shut down US operations, we can continue working from there.
Like I've said multiple times on here. My goal is to make IT a black industry. Start with training black men to get a career, groom those with promise to become entrepreneurs and start businesses, and then take the adventurous among those and groom them to go to Africa and teach native Africans to dominate in technology.
Do I have everything mapped out? Nope, but if I can put 100 dudes through my program to go from being broke in the hood to making 50k/yr all from the same community, I'll be able to look myself in the eye and be proud that I at least attempted to make things better for my race.
But like I always say, the fukk should you listen to me for

At the end of the day though, we have to at least try something. There's more than enough of us to figure the shyt out. But people have to stop waiting for the next man to do what they know they should be doing.
