Titans.
We all know the important figures that stand out. The Titans who try to bring about positive change for their community. We also know there tend to many titans, each with a slightly different agenda. But the overall goal is the same, self-autonomy for their people, reasonable wealth and prosperity, justice, and peace.
Opposers.
We know the opposers as well. Those who have the need to oppress, who's mark of victory is relative, and so therefore never satisfied. Those who want everyone under their dominion, control, and oppression -- basically, they seem to have come down to the earth for not other reason than to rape it.
But there are other, minor players to be concerned with.
The Coons.
This is not a nice name. I don't even know how they ended up with that titled. But the coons are those who's people stand to benefit from the activities of the Titans, but nevertheless, they have been so comfortable in their oppression, that they will fight to maintain that status quo. A truer name would be traitor, if it was done on purpose.
The vultures.
And then we have the vultures. Every righteous person, every source of light is always surrounded by darkness. Every good character trait has wickedness around. Meaning, you can be diligent in the right measure. But if you go too far, and become a workaholic, that's not good. And if you go too far the other way, and become lazy, that's also not good. The right measure is the right measure. Good is encased by evil, or husks. Just like an orange is surrounded (and protected) by the peel. The peel would be considered the "evil" or the "husk" that must be peeled away and discarded, to get to the real goodness.
So, too, good people are always surrounded by shady ones. Opportunists. In the Jewish world, there were rabbis who always had their groupies around them. They were called the "askanim." They were his secretary, or driver, or had some odd task here and there. Some would try to interpret the rabbi's words and try and twist it to what they wanted it to be. Others would try to decide who gets to see the rabbi and who doesn't. The poor rabbis were often very old and frail or oblivious, for one reason or another, to all of this.
I want to urge the Titans in the Black world to beware of this. The vultures that stay close. You can spot the wicked ones because they will run to you with gossip about what so-and-so said. They will try and stir trouble, in the name of protecting your dignity. I guess these titans don't really follow the titans. More like they follow the titan's shadow, they feed off of the titan's imperfections. Is the titan too disparaging towards a certain group? Expect cackles of laughter from the hyenas. Is the titan very critical at something? Expect shaming and slander from the hyenas. Is the titan rich? Expect non-righteous beggars.
Not everyone surrounding the titans tend to be wicked. The bulk are not. But there are always thsse hyenas lurking around. .
The best remedy I can think of for this is that the titans speak to one another. Just like they did when they came together for the Tariq, PBT, TBA combo broadcast. There are other titans out there. I urge you all to work together for the benefit of the collective.and to beware of the vultures..
