Black Leaders and Intellectuals Sold Their Souls and Sold Out the Black Race for Crumbs
by Sabrina Dawkins
Brainwashed Black Intellectual
In the library
where you studied for your degree
by copying the texts of white men,
you held a white piece of paper
shaped like a dollar
with white powder on it.
And you filled up with demons
from all the white paper
in your head from assigned readings.
And with knees quivering
under the library table,
you looked at me,
and I told you the demons wouldn’t get you
if to God you were faithful.
There are “black leaders” today who rub shoulders with presidents, appear on television and radio frequently, and/or have good jobs at universities. But have they really helped the black masses, or have they already received their individual rewards—material gain within white society—for helping to weaken the black race?
“Politically the American Negro is nothing but a football and the white liberals control this mentally dead ball through tricks of tokenism: false promises of integration and civil rights. In this profitable game of deceiving and exploiting the political politician of the American Negro, those white liberals have the willing cooperation of the Negro civil rights leaders. These ‘leaders’ sell out our people for just a few crumbs of token recognition and token gains. These ‘leaders’ are satisfied with token victories and token progress because they themselves are nothing but token leaders.”

John Lewis was among the Big Six, which also included Martin Luther King Jr. They were six prominent black civil rights organizations leaders whom Malcolm X said were funded by whites. They lulled the black masses to sleep with the “I Have a Dream” speech to make blacks comfortable with passivity and an uncritical desire to integrate with a historical enemy. And during his funeral, here is what the 42nd president of the United States, Bill Clinton, had to say about his “friend” John Lewis—Bill Clinton, the charismatic master of double entendres:
“I must say for a fella that got his start speaking to chickens, John’s gotten a pretty finely organized, and orchestrated, and deeply deserved send-off this last week.”
“Just three years later he lost the leadership of SNCC to Stokely Carmichael because he said, ‘You know, I’d really…’ I mean, it was a pretty good job for a guy that young and come from Troy, Alabama. It must’ve been painful to lose, but he showed as a young man there are some things that you cannot do to hang on to a position, because if you do them, you won’t be who you are anymore. And I say there were two or three years there where the movement went a little bit too far towards Stokely. But in the end, John Lewis prevailed.”

“You got a bad habit. You are hooked and don’t know it. You got what’s known as White’s Disease. You think you can’t get along without the white man. You think you can’t get some clothes without the white man. You think you can’t get a house without the white man. You think you can’t even get a job without the white man. You are worse than a man who thinks he can’t get along without heroin. You are worse than the man who thinks he can’t get along without morphine. You’re worse than the junkie. You’re in worse shape than the junkie because the junkie only has a little monkey on his back, and you’re running around with a big white ape named Uncle Sam on your back.”

“So you had to have a clearing house so that you could check with your army man to find out who the troublemakers were because you never give money to a troublemaker. The word in their field is, ‘Don’t feed the teachers.’ Just remember that phrase. That’s the… That hangs up up in them foundations. It say it right on the wall: ‘Don’t feed the teachers.’ And then the subline is, ‘Feed the dumb and the ambitious.’”
“In fact, it talks about the day Marcus Garvey went to the NAACP offices and saw all them white people running everything and stormed out of there, saying, ‘I don’t believe it.’ And that was interesting because he could not believe that they would accept this relationship from the white man, when in fact if they had just stuck with him, they could’ve had it all. Do you understand that if they hadn’t broke ranks and decided to bite onto the hope of the America Dream, we could’ve had it, and that it wasn’t the attack of the white man that stopped us from getting it, it was the allowance of a group of blacks to stop from supporting it. That’s what it was.”

“So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American Dream.”

Nikki Giovanni: “So the question… I mean, for me, the question has always been power. And for, like, you all, the question has been morals. You know, I never wanted to be the most moral person in the world. I would like… I admit, I would sell my soul. You know what I mean? ‘What does it profit a man to gain the world and, and lose his soul?’ The world. You know what I mean? The world—that’s what it’ll profit. So you take the soul, you know? And we used to sing that spiritual, ‘Take the World, But Give Me Jesus.’ Y’all can have Jesus. Give me the world, you know, even though it’s losing 25% of its energy every 100 years or something like this.”
James Baldwin: “Oh, please. Don’t believe all the… Don’t believe everything you hear.”
Nikki Giovanni: “No, but I’m saying that’s not my concern, you know? Even though it’s polluted, ugly, dirty, give it to me. Or let me take… Or I will take it.”

SOUL! taped in London, November 1971
Having the American Dream is getting the world at the price of one’s soul. And there are far too many black people who will accept a pet’s portion of the white man’s world of inflated paper, artificial restaurant food, and pollution vehicles to live in temporary, unsustainable comfort at the expense of the race.
