The Power We Possess: Understanding the Power of Your Vote and the Need for the Political Evolution of the Black Electorate (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780998504162)

THE POWER WE POSSESS: Understanding the Power of Your Vote and the Need for the Political Evolution of the Black Electorate, defines power as both a physical substance and an idea that is neutral and expansive. It will serve any master without remorse or compassion and when held will increase at an exponential and predictable rate. Power is also a principle. It is a fundamental, universal law from which many others derive. Simply stated the Power Principle provides that those who have power shall prosper, and those who do not shall serve. The Power Process is also observable. When it flows it is like an electrical current, either direct or alternating. When its flow is regular it appears as structure. When it moves quickly and takes an irregular course it is more characteristic of what is generally understood as a process. The Law of Power Units: each of us is a self-contained power unit. A power unit is composed of an individual and his/her power set. A power set is the individual power unit plus the skills and resources he/she brings to the table. Critical Mass (CM) is the minimum number of enriched/enlightened persons required to effect revolutionary political change. The Critical Mass equation is best stated as CM = φ (AAP)). This formula indicates less than two percent of our people, having been properly enriched, can generate the explosive impact, radical change, and radiant growth that will be the result of the cultural/political chain reaction. The attainment of Critical Mass is, therefore, the single most important objective of any organization whose goal is the empowerment of African Americans. Through Critical thinking, a developed Military Mindset, the use of Strategic Economics and the tactic of Confrontational Politics we will be able to win the psychological war, defeat, the political, economic, and cultural ideology known as white supremacy, Plantation Politics, and the intricate series of interlocking laws, policies, treaties, and judicial opinions backed by the ever-present threat of massive violent force that supports it. Thus, we will create the New Body Politic that will change the course of human events both here and abroad.
