HBCUs and the Eradication of Systematic Racism: FORMULA for Success (1166 hits)
I have devoted almost a decade to the study of systematic racism. In September, it will have been two years since I unveiled a potential antidote to the century-old plague of humanity. This remedy encompasses a FORMULA uncovered during the Haitian Revolution, the only victorious slave rebellion in history.
Esteemed historians, including Robert Greene and Prof. James Smalls, assert that the Haitian Africans happened upon a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War. Employing its principles, they vanquished Napoleon Bonaparte and his troops, considered to be the most formidable military force at the time.
The task of discussing the cessation of systematic racism is arduous. I have reached the conclusion that a scheme exists to disregard all plausible resolutions that could deconstruct this longstanding issue, commencing with the intellectual works of Dr. Francis Cress Welsing. Her scholarship links the past to the present.
The perniciousness of systemic racism can be likened to a war, with the Black male being the prime target of attack. White supremacists aim to achieve their goal of preventing white genetic annihilation through methods such as incarceration, death, or the emasculation of Black males. This constitutes a multi-pronged attack on the Black family unit, resulting in a form of genocide whereby single mothers are left to raise marginalized or "at risk" youth who, in turn, feed into the system, perpetuating the cycle of oppression.
To counteract this entrenched system, we can take inspiration from the principles of the Haitian Revolution and the Art of War, as espoused by Sun Tzu. By knowing ourselves and our enemy, we can strategize and subdue the enemy without necessarily engaging in direct confrontation. Combining this approach with the insights of Dr. Welsing, we arrive at the FORMULA: Know Thyself + Know Thy Enemy = Victory.
Despite the talk of ending systemic racism, the blueprint for doing so already exists. We need to acknowledge that this is a form of warfare, albeit different from the one faced by Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines, and that the same principles still apply. The system of racism is an old and well-crafted machine, automated and leaderless, sustained by a decentralized network of mostly anonymous and malicious participants. The system's gears are wearing thin, and it is up to us to render it obsolete.
Planetary Chess harnesses the potency of Blockchain Technology to fortify its defense system with greater resilience and robustness, as per the tenets of Sun Tzu's, "The Art of War," which advocates conquering the adversary without battling. This is accomplished by maintaining exceptional research, intelligence gathering, and knowledge accumulation. In the contemporary era, with systematic racism being studied, exposed, and its eradication demanded, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) should lead this endeavor. If not, then their sole aim of educating and equipping students for employment in corporations will remain a metaphorical reincarnation of plantation work.
To enhance the significance of the FORMULA, I have transformed it into a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), thereby enabling investors to endorse and enrich the only system empowering the black side of the chessboard and eradicating systematic racism. The funds generated will contribute to the establishment of the Planetary Chess Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).
