As we come into knowledge of self, we must, as well,
come into knowledge of who doesnt want us to “know
thyself”. The average Afrikan who has some knowledge
of white supremacy might feel its been, and only
been, the “blue-eyed devil” that is responsible. True,
but not truth. If you read the piece I wrote entitled,
IZ YT Human? or Mutant!, I spoke of the biblical
bruthas, abraham and moses, as one of the first
sell-outs of the Afrikan spirit.
As you well know, this country was founded by
criminals who colonized this area just as they chalked
up Afrika in the 1800s. As we had our plantations in
the south with house negroes and field Afrikans, we
find that this trend has never changed as the years
have gone by. Thanks to research done by brutha Steve
Cokely, we have found that there is a black secret
society that has been closely associated with
maintaining the grip of white supremacy on people of
color. These same secret societies, these house
negroes answer to, have a long history rooted in the
physical and mental enslavement of Afrikans around the
globe. This black “secret society” is called the
Boule aka. Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated,
founded May 15, 1904 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
This is the 1st black fraternity in america and was
before the 1st black “college” frat, Alpha Phi Alpha
Fraternity Incorporated which was founded December 4,
1906.
The Boule is a black GREEK secret society based on
another secret society founded at Yale University
called Skull & Bones. The Boules primary founder was
Dr. Henry Minton (along with Dr.s Eugene T. Henson,
Edwin Clarence Howard, Algernon Brashear Jackson,
Robert Jones Abele and Richard John Warrick), of
Philadelphia. The founding member of the New York City
chapter, WEB DuBois, said the Boule was created to
“keep the black professional away from the ranks of
Marcus Garvey.” (One thing that needs to be pointed
out is the time period. At the founding of the Boule,
it was also a time Marcus Garveys “Back to Afrika”
movement was reaching a million plus people without tv
or radio.). DuBois emphasized, as Cokely stated, “the
importance to steal the black professional away from
Garvey because an Afrocentric organization that
articulated and captured the black professional would
give YT no safe haven in the black community, so the
Boule — the remaking of the house negro was
necessary to build a group of negroes who had an
investment in protecting the white system as produced
by YT having stolen this landThis is post
reconstruction. Taking away the articulate negro, now
desiring to replace them with organized institutions
to keep them away from self improvement. So we find in
the same period, as the founding of the Boule, the
founding of the 4 black male (Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa
Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, and Phi Beta Sigma) and 4
black female (Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta,
Zeta Phi Beta, and Sigma Gamma Rho) college-based
fraternities and sororities…We also find the
founding of the NAACP and Urban League.”
DuBois was one of the strongest opponents of Garvey
and was an instrumental “tool” in stopping one of the
strongest grassroots movements in this century. What
was Garveys plan? His plan was to take as many
Afrikans from the americas and start a settlement in
the nation of Liberia and then help their new nation
produce and control their own rubber crops and other
industries in natural resources. Garvey said, “If the
oil of Afrika is good for Rockefellers interest; if
iron is good for Carnegie trust; then these minerals
are good for us. Why should we allow wall street and
the capitalist group of america and other countries
exploit our country when they refuse to give us a fair
chance in the countries of our adoption? Why should
not Afrika give to the world its black Rockefeller,
Rothschild, and Henry Ford?” This wouldve meant no
Goodyear or US. Steel as we know it today, because it
would
