Malcolm X in the Metaverse
Malcolm X Gives A Speech On The Perils Of New Technology
Today we want to talk about the Metaverse, a virtual reality. Virtual reality explains itself. But before we get into it, since we are living in the Age of Virtual Technology, I would like to clarify some things that refer to our physical reality, concerning our physical conditions right now.
We are still poor. We have poor housing. We have poor healthcare. We have poor school systems. We have poor jobs. We can all agree that America has kept us in a poor environment. She doesn’t want us here and as soon as we recognize that fact, we would appear intelligent. When you and I look into the mirror, we represent a people with a poor state of mind. We are the number one consumers in the world, with a purchasing power of over one trillion dollars. I said a TRILLION DOLLARS. And we own less than one percent of this nation’s wealth. We can build our own communities and we can build our own economy. But the reality is, we are poor because we have failed to put aside our differences. We are poor because we have failed to practice group economics. We are poor because we do not know our history. We are poor because we do not love ourselves.
I don’t care if you are a Republican or a Democrat. I don’t care if you are a Methodist or a Baptist. I don’t care if you are a Catholic or a Christian. I love you because you are Black. Before there was anything such thing as a digital world, the world was Black. Before there was anything such thing as a virtual world, the world was Black. In fact, before there was any such place as the western world, the world was Black. And after the western world has long passed from the sea…the world will be Black.
Let’s keep it real. Every day the white man is creating new technology to control us. The emerging technology of artificial intelligence, machine learning, augmented reality, and web3.0. They are creating computer chips to put in our brains to control us. They are creating robots to replace our jobs to control us. They are creating the Metaverse to control us.
You cannot function without your cellphone. You cannot function without your streaming services. You cannot function without your social media. This is what he does.
I would not tell you this if I didn’t love you. You’re nothing but a tool like a hammer or a wrench. You would do anything the white man tells you.
If he told you he would give you more rights and privileges than you were getting, you would put him in office. If he told you to buy digital land and digital clothes, you would buy them. Meanwhile, we can barely afford physical clothes and physical food.
There is no better time than right now to come together. We have to UNITE. We have to think like our ancestors who were scholars and scientists that built nations.
Can we build and control our reality?
