First of all, the term "black and white" is a fallacy. 

It simply is another way of saying "this or that". 

Let's examine the term "this or that" in its ultimate form 

which is: "this" means the truth or "that" which is resistant 2 it. 

When a minority realizes its similarities on a higher level 

not just "black", but "people of color", and higher still "indigenous", and even higher still, "from the tribe of", and yet higher: 

"The Rainbow Children". 

When this understanding comes, the so-called minority becomes a majority in the wink of an eye. 

This action will cause a reaction or resistance. 

The source of this resistance must be banished as it is in direct conflict with the initial action. 

It cannot be assimilated, 4 its very nature is resistance. 

In other words, one cannot serve 2 masters. 

U are either "this" or "that which is not this". 

End of part one. 

2 continue, select the program "Family Name" and type in the 

current government name U wish history on. 

London, England, sometime in the early 1600's:

We have the God-given right 2 run out of our colony anyone 

who does not bow down 2 our law 

Hear, hear! 

Hear, hear, exactly, that's what I said! 

(Say I'm from the ...) 

Hear hear, hear hear 

Aye, yes, aye, aye! 

Come on, come on, keep it moving here 

Come on, now 

What's your name boy? 

Abu, Abu Cah 

Well, it ain't now, it's Tom Lynch 

Mirror, mirror what U see? 

Have I still got those dark clouds over me? 

Or am I really feeling what I feel? 

The last days of the devil's deal 

Oh mirror, what U see? 

Devil, devil what U know? 

U been here since 1914, but now U got 2 go 

U been hidin' behind corporate eyes 

U wanna war, but U can't fight 

Oh devil, oh, U got 2 go, yes sir! 

Bridge... 

U might say, "what U mad about?" 

But U still got your family name 

Pleased 2 meet U, Mr. Rosenbloom 

I'll be John Blackwell just the same 

What's your family name? 

Teacher, teacher what U say? 

Did we really come over in a boat? 

Did it really go down that way? 

Or did I arrive before U and ruin Thanksgiving Day? 

Oh teacher, oh, what U say? 

Preacher, preacher is it true? 

That Jesus wants me 2 give my money 2 the likes of U? 

Ride around in your Lexus coupe 

Drive us 2 the cleaners in a pinstripe suit 

Oh preacher, that ain't truth! 

The bridge, huh... 

U might say, "what U mad about? 

But U still got your family name 

Pleased 2 meet U, Mr. Pearlman 

U can call me "Clay" 

Now can I play? 

People, people what's your name? 

Maybe we should start all over 

Let everybody get in the game 

Put up a one-gloved fist 

Make a sound, Violet Brown 

U might say "what U mad about?" 

But U still got your family name 

Pleased 2 meet U Mr. Goldstruck 

We found this tape in the Akashic records. 

This is Thomas Jefferson: 

"My fellow Americans, if there is a just God, we're gonna pay 4 this!" 

"Black men and White men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics 

will be able 2 join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: 

free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last!"
