My meeting with U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner

I am set to speak with Geithner next month about the state of black unemployment.  What questions should I ask?

Well to tell you the truth, I no longer have faith in Amerika's definition of diplomatic discussion. I am now geared more to a revolution. The Irish, Italians, Jews and other nationalities have some how prospered throughout the times. Why is it yet we haven't?!?!?!?!? Why must some of us look to the TRUE enemy of state for "affirmative" action or some other special intrest movement that inevadvertently has a negative impact on us as a people. So now the question is, how do we regain or better yet ESTABLISH OUR IDENTITY, in a land whos history stripped us of it? Why don't we truly get our shit together and say enough!!!! I fully agree that the system is greatly disproportionate when it comes to racial equality. It will always be this way. When "white" people see me they will always see my color first, then maybe me, then my merits. But they will always see "the black person" first. It's been like this forever, look at the bible, qur'an, and other historical records of any type that desribes man. Now, what is it that we do, not to change another person's thinking but our own self worth and dominance right now.
Look, you don't look at a cat like you would a giraffe, so why would some one so obviously different from me see me as the same? I don't know the answer but I believe that a good revolt against the powers that be would definately shake some things up a little. We wouldn't be taken litely for a while, look at the history of Malcom X, Nathanial Turner, or even other countries were the people have revolted, you can back a cat in a corner, but after a while even the meekest of animals while fight back. It wont measure it's man hood by spinning rims, sagging ill fitting trousors, how broken your english is, how gangster you portray to be, or any thing else that's actually derogatory to humanity.
I don't know 'bout you but I've been preparing my self for the future! I'm tired of dying and leaving a bleak future for my children to inheret.
