Too often, the downfall of a Black man isn't orchestrated solely by outside forces—but by the silent or active participation of his own people. This is the residue of mental colonization: a mindset trained to distrust, diminish, and destroy its own reflections.
Marcus Garvey taught us that a race that can not protect its men, women, and children is already defeated. When we fail to defend our brothers, when we join the chorus of slander, ridicule, or indifference, we are not just harming an individual—we are sabotaging the future of our entire race.
A people who truly understand liberation know that internal accountability must never become public execution. Correct in love, uplift in principle, and always remember: disunity is the weapon of the oppressor.
Black men are not perfect—but they are not disposable. Protect them. Stand with them. Heal them. Rebuild them. Because no one else will.
