There is no possibility to build wealth in this current configuration. There’s no military threat, so there is no wealth coming.

It’s not a matter of do I think we could do this or should do this about wealth? It’s an issue of just objectively, there is no wealth to build more wealth. It’s not even 1% of the nation’s wealth now, but it’s going to be zero pretty soon.

Black wealth is going to be zero by 2053. That’s the only power we have and can build upon. Black people, the only power we have is through political organization and the threat that we are as an organized political entity. That is pure fantasy that is only supported by well-promoted and positioned propagandists. There are no Black people in this country, as things currently stand, that have a capacity to build actual wealth. To answer your question though, It’s less about whether or not it’s right.

I try to study political economy as it is part of media and Africana studies.
