Many of the most serious crimes and buses against POC's in this country are not even addressed by social activists on the Left: the mass imprisonment of Blacks/POC, massive infant mortality of the Black poor, mass unemployment in communities of color, etc. This is an indictment of the opportunism and weakness of the Left. They're MIA.

Many serious abuses by the state are pimped by non-profits, poverty pimps, and white advocacy groups, rather than a stomped-down, kick-ass, mass movement being built. Defeatism and opportunism is thick in this period.

Many Liberal and Leftist movements have material resources and even a mass organization to throw up a fight, but they are either bought off or have sold out for corporate cash. We have to start from the grassroots with virtually nothing, if we want something to happen. No condescending white saviors are coming to help.

The black bourgeoisie are agents to ensure that the natives or "the dangerous classes" are under control of the state and corporations. Eat the rich Blacks alive as well, not just the rich white man!

No question that great suffering and oppression are taking place in front of us at this very minute, in the city, region or country we live in. The real question is what will we do about it? Cry about the suffering, or thrown up yet another struggle for freedom?

The Negrosie poverty pimps (traitor comprador class) are just as much an enemy as the capitalist/white power structure. They have sold their souls to mislead the poor and keep the restless natives quiet in the colony.

If you look at the 3rd world levels of infant mortality among Blacks in the USA, one of the richest countries in the world, there is no question that this is racism, genocide, and a human rights violation. We need to organize and fight so that the whole world knows it.

Any organization that claims to speak for Black people in the USA must be made to stand up and challenge the US government over infant mortality. We need to direct overturn the inhuman system that allows such genocidal practices. Save the babies, save ourselves, turn the world upside down!

If Black people will not fight over their children's welfare, and prevent their needless deaths, then what in hell's name will they fight for? Any Black organization that does not speak up against infant mortality is a fraud, pure and simple!

If there is going to be a mass coalition against infant mortality, then the poor themselves will have to start it. it's clear that the NAACP is all about the middle class and bourgeois Negroes, and will not expend any energy for the poor. Not one demonstration, no pressure on the President, governors, or any official. What are they good for?
