The Much Family Phenomenon



Throughout the course of history, people have moved from place to place, being forced to survive by taking on the role of workers, slaves and servants for others.The people they worked for, will be referred to the Much family. The members of the Not-Much families were often used and abused like work horses, and accorded the most of menial tasks.

When they became tired, weary and 'burned out', and could no longer be useful to the members of the Much family, they were forced to go hungry, starve and die. Many would simply give up, as they were being put out to pasture.

No country was in the world was exempt from the Much family phenomenon. Its roots lay in ethnocentrism, akin to ego-centrism rooted and grounded in the ego or the self, or survival of the fittest.

Over time, the new immigrants, the Not- Much worked hard and accumulated vast wealth and power. Being very proud people, they gathered in communities to retain their culture, language and ethnicity. Unfortunately, many of them lost sight of the true values of their ancestors. Their struggle was primarily for financial gain and prosperity. When they succeeded, many of them began to see themselves as belonging to the Much family.

Being Much meant wealth, prosperity, good homes and well paying jobs. But to many, it also meant they could crucify those around them, including those who were born in the country into which they had moved.

In minority settings, the minority quickly became labeled as the Not-Much, by the new Much family.

The bone of contention became purity of race. The Not-Much family was regarded as being racially impure and imperfect. They were driven out of communities everywhere by the Much family, who continued to accumulate the wealth of those who they displaced. Many of them forgot that they themselves had been displaced by war, floods or other natural disasters, as they turned their gory days into glory days.


Pride, prejudice and arrogance prevailed in the new Much family as men, women and children were made to suffered more and more injustice, under the dysfunctional Much family, everywhere around the world.

Marriages and homes were broken up. Violence prevailed, as the new Not-Much family tried to fight back just to survive. Young women were forced into prostitution by the Much family pimps. They were made into the new work horses and their children regarded as illegitimate.

One little child put everything into proper perspective when he said, "Me and Jesus, we're Not-Much."
