“Kemetyu, Black People, Africans! It’s all fine & good that we know how to operate a car – but it’s infinitely more important that we know how to PRODUCE our own cars (from raw material to finished product).
It’s all fine & good that we know how to operate a truck – but it’s infinitely more important that we know how to PRODUCE our own trucks (from raw material to finished product).
It’s all fine & good that we know how to operate a train – but it’s infinitely more important that we know how to PRODUCE our own trains (from raw material to finished product).
It’s all fine & good that we know how to operate an airplane – but it’s infinitely more important that we know how to PRODUCE our own airplanes (from raw material to finished product).
It’s all fine & good that we know how to operate a ship or submarine – but it’s infinitely more important that we know how to PRODUCE our own ships & submarines (from raw material to finished product).
It’s all fine & good that we know how to operate a satellite or spacecraft – but it’s infinitely more important that we know how to PRODUCE our own satellites & spacecrafts (from raw material to finished product).
It’s all fine & good that we know how to operate a television or radio – but it’s infinitely more important that we know how to PRODUCE our own televisions & radios (from raw material to finished product).
It’s all fine & good that we know how to operate modern weapons & weapon systems – but it’s infinitely more important that we know how to PRODUCE our own modern weapons & weapon systems (from raw material to finished product).
It’s all fine & good that we know how to operate a stove, refrigerator, calculator or computer – but it’s infinitely more important for us to know how to PRODUCE our own stoves, refrigerators, calculators & computers (from raw material to finished product).
It’s all fine & good that we know how to operate electrical & plumbing devices – but it’s infinitely more important that we know how to PRODUCE our own electrical & plumbing devices (from raw material to finished product).
It’s all fine & good that we know how to work as doctors or engineers – but it’s infinitely more important that we know how to PRODUCE all of the equipment doctors & engineers need to do their jobs (from raw material to finished product).
The point being made here is that a nation of people having knowledge of how to operate or do something in life is not enough for them to achieve a functional state of nationhood – nor is it enough for them to preserve & protect their continued existence in the modern world.
No, nations must study & learn so that they fully master being INDEPENDENT PRODUCERS of the things that they operate or use in life – if they are to avoid falling victim to foreign dominance & destruction.” (pgs. 348-350)

For those looking for krakkkaz to boycott (permanently), this is also a great rationale not to support iphone either https://www.pinterest.com/pin/528539706239215030/. Good additional reason not to support Ford car company (as though we need another reason) or just about any other car manufacturer. They don’t PRODUCE their own parts (although they still rely on their racial relatives, many believe that a given car manufacturer produces every component of their cars in-house, which is by and large not the case):
Ford’s main parts suppliers, along with the parts they supply, are as follows:
Flex-N-Gate Seeburn – Ontario, Canada: door hinges and arms.
NHK Spring – Shiga-ken, Japan: suspension stabilizer linkages.
U-Shin Europe – Komárom-Esztergom, Hungary: steering columns.
Valeo Electric and Electronic Systems – Czechowice-Dziedzice, Poland: starter assemblies.
Webasto Roof & Components – Schierling, Germany: sliding sunroofs.
Summit Plastics – Nanjing, China: instrument panel components.
Dee Zee – Des Moines, Iowa: running boards.
Warn Industries -Clackamas, Oregon: axle assemblies.
Chaidneme – Bogota, Colombia: mufflers and exhaust systems.
Autoliv – Stockholm, Sweden: airbagshttps://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/052715/who-are-fords-f-main-suppliers.asp

On the Black side of things, perhaps we can support those who make some of their own parts while assembling the rest. Those who are at least already that far would be perhaps better situated to transition to move to the level of entirely independent production you recommend.

“Of all our studies, history is best qualified to reward our research. And when you see that you’ve got problems, all you have to do is examine the historic method used all over the world by others who have problems similar to yours. And once you see how they got theirs straight, then you know how you can get yours straight.”
Nana Malcolm X
Prime example: Japan
Japan broke apart American cars and learned every technological and engineering aspect that went into assembling, constructing, producing, manufacturing cars. Japan reverse every American car Japan reversed engineered every American car in Japan. Through reverse engineering American cars, Japan was ably to accomplish this great feat by disassembling and reassembling, repeat, disassembling and reassembling, repeat, disassembling and reassembling American cars. And in the end Japan was able to make cars that were even better than American cars.
Today, most people in the world trust the quality and reliability of Japanese cars than American cars.
Today, Japan is the world’s leading car manufacturer in the world.
