Blacks are economic slaves. We are owned lock stock and barrel by people of European-origin ... I am tired of hearing Blacks always blaming others for their lack of progress in this world; I am tired of the whining and victim-mentality. I am tired of listening to the same complaint, day in day out - racism this, racism that. Its getting us nowhere. Africans have a stance, live for today, let tomorrow take care of itself and be damned attitude, the author says. Weve become a sheep-like consumer race that depends on other communities for our culture, language, feeding, and clothing. Weve become economic slaves in Western society. The argument that Blacks must become economically self-reliant and foster collective partnering relationships is not new. It has been voiced by such notable figures as Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, Marcus Garvey, Steve Biko, Ezekiel Mphahlele, Thabo Mbeki, and Malcolm X.
