    Maya Angelou, the late poet, is often credited with the saying, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them.”  The full quote is actually, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.  People know themselves much better than you do. That’s why it’s important to stop expecting them to be something other than who they are.”

    When it comes to the U.S. government, the White power structure in this country and White people and their treatment of and toward Black people, what Ms. Angelou said has been proven true time and time again.

    They have shown us who and what they are.  So, we must stop expecting something different. There is a plethora of historic and current examples of this; too many to keep track. But we only must look over the past few days to see even more examples.

    The continued attack and dismantling of Black studies curricula on all levels of education is a deliberate strategy to attempt to erase the tremendous contributions our people have made and continue to make not only to America, but the world. 

    They hate our very shadow, so what better strategy than to target academic institutions? A recent article published on The Nation, titled “Dismantling Black Studies,” examined this deliberate tactic.

    The article listed several institutions of higher education that have either totally dismantled or watered down Black or African Studies departments, curricula or programs and also legislation that have targeted such programs. 

    According to the article, Florida’s Senate Bill 266  stripped Black-studies courses of their general-education status and cut the research funding that faculty depend on and Kentucky’s House Bill 4  suspended the University of Louisville’s Pan-African Studies doctoral program and eliminated all graduate assistantships. 

    “Black studies is where the attack has been the most deliberate, the most structural, and the most revealing of what is at stake.  In recent months, university leaders have dismantled departments and deliberately narrowed the pipeline producing the next generation of Black scholars. What is happening is not just a series of isolated bureaucratic decisions; it is a coordinated assault,” the article states.

    This is just one example. Then there are deliberate targeting and attack on anything Black folks attempt to do “for us by us.”  A White dermatologist along with what is being described as a “conservative advocacy group” had the nerve to file a federal lawsuit against the online platform Find A Black Doctor. 

    The lawsuit alleges racial discrimination because the directory limits its physician listings to Black doctors and dentists.  Statics have proven that Black patients received better care from Black healthcare professionals.  It is highly doubtful this White dermatologist has the desire to truly care for and treat Black patients.

    White folks, who still control the wealth and levers of power in politics, business, academia and are dusting off  the tired, non-existent “reverse racism/reverse discrimination” card as a last resort to hold onto a power that they see they are losing their grip on. 

    And, just like in the past, they are using the tools at their disposal in various levels of government to do their bidding to on to power. 

    The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has been actively soliciting White men to file workplace discrimination charges, if someone Black or non-White gets a position that in their arrogance, they think rightfully belongs to them.

    As Allah (God) is breaking America and the Caucasian’s grip on power, their tactics become more desperate, and they are becoming more emboldened. 

    As each day goes by, our open enemy continues to show us that they are disagreeable to live with in peace. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad told His National Representative.

    The Honorable Minister Farrakhan, that when the children of Israel rebelled against Moses and Aaron and did not want to leave their slavemaster to build an independent nation of their own under the guidance of Allah (God) that He chastised them with fiery serpents and cockatrices. 

    “The Honorable Elijah Muhammad asked me one day, ‘do you know what it means, fiery serpents?’ I said, ‘no sir.’  He said, ‘It means angry White people,’” Minister Farrakhan said during a May 9, 2017, interview on WVON 1690AM Talk of Chicago radio with host Cliff Kelley, during President Donald Trump’s first term in office.

    “White people are getting more and more angry every day, and as I said on this same wonderful program before, Mr. Trump was elected that the mask of civility—like an onion peeling—is being peeled off.  Now naked hatred, not only in word but in deed, is being openly shown to us,” Minister Farrakhan said.

    This naked hatred is increasing and like they always have, angry Whites are using the power of the U.S. government as a tool in their hatred.

    Minister Farrakhan in answering a question from The Final Call, stated the following about the U.S. government during his Holy Day of Atonement Message in 2003: “this government of the United States is our worst enemy.”

    “As long as the Children of Israel saw Pharaoh as a friend, they could not see Moses and Jehovah as their true friend. As they came into consciousness—by the wicked things that Pharaoh continued to do against them—that Pharaoh was indeed their enemy, then Moses and Jehovah’s call to them to separate from Pharaoh to build a nation of their own became a reality.

    “As long as we see America and her wealth as something that we want, we will never leave Pharaoh. As God’s hand touched the wealth of Pharaoh, it is now touching the wealth of America. 

    As the Black man and woman become more awakened to the wicked machinations of government, the aim is the same today: We should never be free of their influence and power.

    “As Abraham Lincoln said, if there is to be a superior position, he would rather that superior position be assigned to the White race. That superior position must be protected by those who believe in White supremacy and they will do everything in their power to make sure that that position will always be throughout the generations,” Minister Farrakhan said.

    He added, “So, our path is clear: We refuse to be inferior. We want to be exactly what Allah (God) has desired for us to be and we can’t be that in their house.  We either have to take over their house or go and build a house of our own.”

    Like Minister Farrakhan said, our path is clear. The U.S. government and White folks have shown us who and what they are. The question for us is: Do we finally believe them?
