A Metaphor Of The Present State Of Consciousness WITHIN The Black Community

I have stated in the past that some people prioritize the Black community being "IN RECEIPT OF A BENEFIT" that allows the masses to live up to a given Standard Of Living than they care to consider the SOURCE of this benefit.

• Did the uplift come from "Organic Competencies" that were previously built up in our people?
• What was transacted FROM the Black Community in exchange for these benefits received?
• If left all alone, by ourselves - with the same needs in place - would this BENEFIT be able to be delivered to our people per the "social justice" that is entailed within its receipt?

As a follow up to the previous pictures of the "Hijacked Buffalo Soldiers" portrait - the first one that was successfully auctioned off that night - there were another series of pictures that I took of the 'Black Art' that was on display.

As you read through the details of the picture below - think about how "Black Art" compels Black people.  It stimulates a sense of pride; remembrance of our African ancestors; a commitment toward unity in our community.

What happens when someone (ME) looks a bit more carefully at the Black Art that was on display and sees that - just like it is true that some people don't care about the SATISFACTION OF BLACK PEOPLE'S APPETITE for various items of consumption - it does not matter who crated these artifacts that tug at our emotional strings.  

Its the thought that counts after all.

QUESTION - HOW MANY OF THE WELL-OFF BLACK PEOPLE AT THE "NIGHT ON THE TOWN" EVENT WERE "INTELLECTUALLY CURIOUS" ENOUGH TO TURN OVER FIGURINES THAT WERE PLACED TO COMPEL THEM WITH "BLACK PRIDE" IN ORDER TO LIFT THEIR CURRENCY OUT OF THEIR WALLETS AND HIGH FASHION PURSES?

Note:  For the portraits it is highly likely that they were prints from the United States while the picture frame was made in China.  Still the majority of the "Black Art" that was on display was Made In China for the benefit of "Black Pride".
