5. We have accepted the status quo that Europeans have and always will control the world
Dr. Amos Wilson writes in his book, Afrikan-Centered Consciousness Versus The New World Order: Garveyism in the Age of Globalism:
“The assimilationist often accepts, consciously or unconsciously, the idea that the white man will continue to rule the world. He bases his ideology and political action on the concept that somehow our destiny is not to overthrow the white man, that our destiny is not to suppress and bring these people under control, but to heal them in some sort of way, to convert them, to even become part of them. Our destiny becomes not one that sees the very system and very ideology upon which these oppressors move as one of sickness and insanity and therefore in need of replacement by an Afrikan-centered and healthy ideology that comes out of our own self-knowing. This leadership wants us to accept this sickness as normality and to follow these pathological beings into self-destruction.”
6.We have fooled ourselves into adopting the worst traits of our oppressor and frown upon those who attempt to emulate the better parts.
Amos Wilson bravely stated in a lecture on “Economics and Nationhood:” “If you thought like whites, you would want your own nations, to control your own neighborhoods, to control your own economy, to have your own military, to control the resources in your own ground.”
