      The Collective - Khali Raymond

      Introductory

      This is the beginning, the beginning of something big. This is the beginning of something powerful. How could someone like me from Newark that’s a black man—could be writing book after book?

      How could someone who’s not even the age of twenty—could be doing all these big things for the world? He’s forever changing the game, I tell you.

      The nerve of this man to put out all the truths of his life for the entire world. The nerve of this man to sit here and cuss out every girl who has hurt him. The nerve of this man to take on a racist, federal corporation by using dark humor and blunt truths to wrangle them naysayers.

      Notice how I didn’t say America or the United States; meaning Federal Corporation.

      That’s all this country is.

      It’s nothing more than an organization filled with people above everyone else, or believing that they’re above everyone else, doing whatever they want. This corporation is composed of individuals you may see or never see. You may hear about them or you may not, but they’re more dangerous than what they actually are.

      They have the power to change what we watch, what we hear, and what we eat. They even have the power to change the weather, the sports scores, and our Google searches.

      They’re willing to take on an entire civilization in order to relish their needs for greed. Their goal is to eliminate and exile the black man from society. The government has always been known for doing that.

      That may be a generic way of putting it, but that’s the truth. For centuries, this country has countlessly kept the black man down physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.

      We weren’t allowed to vote. We weren’t allowed to own land. We weren’t allowed to have our own businesses. We weren’t allowed to go to school. We were denied freedom. We weren’t allowed to have anything. All these restrictions made us savages. We are now in the race to defeat each other now.

      Because the federal corporation kept us pinned to the wall, we have all become animals. We segregate our kind even more by doing the same thing that the federal corporation has done for centuries.

      We rob each other, hurt each other, and deceive each other. Do we ever come together? Black lives matter so much, but we’re taking them away every day…

      Like it’s no big deal.

      I feel if we do come together, we only do it in the midst of tragedy. We look to other races for assistance. We look to them for acceptance. We enact a stereotype to garner this acceptance, but we’re only making our kind look even more foolish by trying to show out for these crackers.

      Not only that, but we encourage the emasculation of the black man by making him wear tight clothing, dresses, and makeup. We tell him to change how he talks. We tell him to take feminine hormones, so we can get him to grow curves and breasts.

      We get him to engage in sexual intercourse with other men. We get him to make music, boasting about these things. Then, what do we do? We call it cool. We call that gangster.

      It’s not gangster. It’s sick and demeaning. For a race that represents a fraction of the total population in this country, we need our males to be males.

      I’m not throwing any shots at gay people at all. We need our males to become proud dads, so we can raise strong men. Not frail and weak ones with that Neanderthal ass-esque mindset.

      The black man
