“I often use that phrase that you hear all the time, things change to remain the same. So often you create apparent change to keep situations the same. The European learned of course that they didn’t have to maintain a direct military presence, say on the Afrikan continent or in other areas where Afrikans live in order to umm… protect their political and economic interests. So, … you create a ruling class… an indigenous ruling class there, you see and there appears to be change and it is a change of a sort, however, the basic economic dominance does not change at all.
I often talk about what I call the constants you see in our relationships with Europeans and it’s important that we look at the constants not the superficial changes you see. And often what happens is that first the European makes superficial the Afrikan intellect and makes superficial the Afrikan intelligence so that the Afrikan can be deceived by superficial changes while the basic and fundamental relationship are not changed at all. Down at the Institute of Technology I was talking to my students the other day, ‘Now your electrical engineers, but your fundamental relationship between… your fundamental relationship to Whites is no different from your grandparents who were in slavery, because that fundamental relationship is one of producing profits for your European masters.’
And so, if at some point making Blacks engineers, letting them be engineers or letting them be computer technologists or EVEN LETTING THEM BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES will maintain that constant relationship that change will occur. And so often people then will respond to that apparent change and miss the fact that the FUNDAMENTAL RELATIONSHIP HAS NOT CHANGED AT ALL.”
