A Letter To Black Folks As I sit here on the bank of the Schuylkill River (RACC LIBRARY) I can only think about the mentality of our people. The hate, the negativity, the imprisonment, the destruction, the death, and the murder and it has gone on way too long. William Lynch meet Rob Pollard your test theory has proven right and you've succeeded well up until now. I find discourse in your message that has led to the unthinkable. The attempts to cripple our mind, bodies, and spirit are my fight. Black People the square root of US is YOU, let me repeat that the square root of US is YOU. William I find discourse in your message that has led to the unthinkable. The annihilation of my people is NO MORE. February twenty eight two thousand and fourteen the cycle of life and actions from today moving forward are strictly to help solve a problem you helped create. This is an open invitation for us to unite and form solidarity. The soul of my ancestors, our ancestors have me here today. Their soul has me here for the sole purpose of being ready, right now I am ready to walk the streets of Reading, Philly, New Orleans, Chicago, LA, and so on but I cannot do it alone. I need you to join in a firm, direct manner and an unapologetic way if you will, I will not be sorry for my desire to change our lives. I have a full method of controlling our future and producing greatness. Marcus Garvey would be proud. Martin Luther King would be proud. Malcolm X would be proud. Mandela would be proud, Marley would be proud, my Grandfather Thomas Massdin would be proud, Edith Key would be proud, and most certainly my mother Geraldine Pollard is proud. Our problems are unique, not in the history of mankind have any human beings faced what Black People have endured. We are the most emulated people on the face of the earth yet many aspects of our lives are in disarray. In my life of 38 years on earth have some blacks succeeded? Maybe, I don’t know, it may depend on how you define success. Success to me is building ones dream, living it, going back to the places one comes from and helping out, helping others become positive images that our children and elders can look to in admiration. By my definition, notice I said my definition one vision can change and uplift a community in search of leadership and services. I guarantee everyone that if after tonight we look at each other with love. Put our Blackness first, watch what would happen. What would the possibilities be? Could it hurt? No hating what so ever, together supporting and establishing an economic structure, an agricultural structure, a nutritional structure, an entire culture with a support system that WE ultimately can build, we must build. A 100% support system, where we become the Phenomenal People we all are born to be. Imagine the image of King Tut, Mansa Musa the richest man in human history, the builders of pyramids and creators of math, and Hannibal the Great in the hallways of a community center where our children, adults, and elders have access to materials that embody our existence. Respectfully, Mr. iCARE
