Our Mentality Must be Impoverished
Ultimately, you cannot rob, loot or take from a poor people. You cannot get wealth from a poverty-stricken people. So if you’re getting all your diamonds, gold, magnesium and all the natural resources and minerals from African people, then African people must be wealthy and rich. Therefore, if African people are poor and poverty-stricken with all this minerals and material wealth, then it must be because our consciousness as a people is impoverished and we are suffering from an impoverished mindset. If you have a good mind, you can con, trick, and exploit another joker out of his land. You can con and exploit him out of his diamonds, gold, uranium, cobalt, copper, lithium, coltan, oil, and all the natural resources and minerals; and this is what the other people have done. They have used their mind and their cleverness and have taken from us what they originally did not have. Therefore, consciousness is not an abstract concept. It is not a theoretical concept; it is a concept that is directly related to the reality one lives in. And ultimately, it is directly related to the type of life one will live.
-The Great The Honorable Nana Amos N. Wilson
