Is White Supremacy A Group Sport?

I have been engaging in Comment Sections lately, mainly in response to Comments that I found disturbing. They mostly take place on 'Black Specific' spaces, & involve what appear to be young Whitefolk looking to 'cut their teeth'. Some engage w/ 'Shock & Awe' tactics, while others use the method of 'Deflect & Accuse', by way of pseudo intellectual arguments commonly used on FOX News Shows.

I became particularly involved w/ a respondent on the issue of 'The White Collective'. The respondent didn't think there was such a thing. He argued that the 'wicked acts' are the result of a few White People, not a Collective. His 'Thesis' was that: Racism, is a thing of the past, & Blackfolk are antagonizing Whitefolk because We are bitter about Our inability to compete w/ them. He accused me of living in a fantasy, & deflected to an argument of Black (BLM inspired) vandalism & Anti- White Racism(?).

I countered w/ White on White Crime & Anti- Black Hate Crime Stats, along w/ an explanation of how 'The White Collective' operates. They're a Group that acts in anonymity, but condone continual Acts of Institutionalized White Supremacy, w/ their collective silence. I'm still waiting for his reply. While this respondent was the first to contest the notion of a 'White Collective', he isn't the only person I encountered w/ his Point Of View.

This got me thinking, why are so many 'Right leaning' Whitefolk going to Black Spaces & trying to 'mix it up'? Why aren't they doing their Thing, & allowing Us to do Ours? Most of these people are far removed from ANY Black Community, why do they feel such a need to 'bring it to Us'? Most of the comments that I read, are arguments against something Blackfolk are fighting for. BLM Protests & Marches have been mostly peaceful events, but these respondents only focus on the events that were infiltrated by Antifa & overzealous folk that thought they were acting in Black People's best interests.

I began to think about what motivates this attitude? How does it relate to that Group Collective? I found my answer in History. America likes to tout that It's a Nation of Immigrants. If we're being completely honest, America, is a Nation of Peasants & Serfs looking to improve their Quality of Life. That is the essence of The American Dream. To understand the 'White Collective', We have to understand the Peasant & Serf Experience in Europe.

History shows that Black Oppression actually galvanizes Whitefolk. It gives them something to Collectively agree on. Most of 'White' America descends from the Lower Classes of their Mother Countries. It appears that the White Supremacists among them relish the opportunity to dominate Blackfolk, as they were dominated in Europe. This appears to be a Cultural phenomenon that occurs generation after generation. To find a current example of this 'Projection', We need to look no further than Israel.

The Zionists in Israel have subjected the Palestinian population to the same degree of hegemony that they themselves experienced in Europe. Israeli children are indoctrinated into a belief that Palestinians need to be marginalized, if not outright exterminated. While many single out a Zionist Agenda, I see a Talmudic expression of White Supremacy. Remember, it was The Talmud that gave The World 'The Curse of Ham'. Their brand of White Supremacy is no different than the Christian variety.

Generally speaking, this Group Collective functions in a 'Better Them, than Me' dynamic. In Feudal Europe, the Masses were bullied into compliance. The Few were made examples of, to keep The Many in check. In The New World, gangs rose up & gained power using the same tactic. The General Public noticed, but did little to nothing to collectively stop them. They quietly gave the gangs permission to terrorize their neighborhoods. As immigrants began to compete w/ Blackfolk for work, attention shifted to Us.

The Group didn't (necessarily) share the views of these gangs, but the focus on Blackfolk meant less focus on them. Of course there were those that spoke out against the mobs & gangs, but collectively, The Public was silent. This went on during the Rise of the Ku Klux Klan, The Black Codes & Jim Crow... Immigrants & Poor Whites were offered opportunities out West to improve their Lot. These groups saw Blackfolk as competition for jobs & threats to their 'American Dream', so they welcomed Anti- Black measures. Several generations later, it is ingrained into America's Social Fabric. So is The Silence.

50Yrs ago, Richard Nixon kicked off the (Modern Day) Conservative Movement by referring to a group called 'The Silent Majority'. This group was said to represent the views of Mainstream America (i.e. Republicans & Reagan Democrats). No one appeared to disagree w/ him; in fact, Democrats tried to counter the philosophy of Conservatism w/ 'Progressive Liberalism'. Today, We have the extremes of 'Trump Republicans' & 'Progressive Extremists', like Antifa. The actions of both Groups come dangerously close to Anarchy.

The Trump Republicans resemble the Vassals of feudal Europe. They shamelessly 'cape' for their wealthy Lords (of Industry & Influence), w/ the hope that they will gain some concession that will allow them to live above the fray of The Masses. They willingly bow down to the forces of White Supremacy & the position of the Anglo- Saxon Alpha Male (WASP) at the Top of the Totem Pole. Even the staunchest feminists bow before them. What really amazes me, is the intensity of Caucasians, Catholics, & Honorary Whites (People of Color/ BiPOC) in their practice of White Supremacy. It's pretty clear that they crave The American Dream 'By any means necessary'.

Neely Fuller taught Us that "White Supremacy takes both sides of The Argument", so the Liberal/ Progressive position has to be viewed through a panoramic lense. Their overall message is revolutionary- Power to The People! Social Uplift & Equality are the common phrases used. In This Day & Age, that means 'A Living Wage', 'Medicare for All', a 'Green New Deal', & building up America's 'Social/ Human Infrastructure'. The problem is, many of these 'Progressives' are really Vassals in disguise. Jimmy Dore has revealed time & time again how Progressives aren't much different from Trump Republicans; in fact, they may be worse.

Progressive Leaders are vociferous in front of their supporters, but in Congress, they have either been silent or supportive of Joe Biden's Agenda of double speak. Despite all of the rhetoric & a 'Force The Vote' campaign, Progressive Leaders fell in line w/ House Speaker Pelosi on Medicare for All. They also remain silent, as America takes on an increasingly authoritative stance- in both Domestic & Foreign Affairs. The Biden Administration has abandoned Afghanistan, in addition to bombing Syria, & Somalia. Domestically, they are pushing a new 'Crime Bill' that invests in Law Enforcement at a time when The Public has asked for measures to defund, or at least divert funding earmarked for the paramilitary operations of Local Police Precincts.

I find some Liberals & Progressives genuine, but I have little respect for their leaders. I'm old enough to remember the 'Progressive Politics' of the 1970s & 1980s. The Policies of Daniel Patrick Moynihan & Joe Biden starved Black Communities [Nationwide] of basic services, transforming them into Ghettos & Slums. The current Social Climate reminds me of those Times. The curious rise in gun violence is also familiar. Young White Males toting assault rifles have committed mass shootings for over 20Yrs, but the focus appears to be on a rash of local shootings in areas going through, or slated for gentrification. Is this just a coincidence?

This makes me ask: What is Progressive Liberalism? The Talking Points say one thing, but the actions speak differently. 30Yrs ago, Joe Biden touted The Liberal Party as a 'Tough on Crime' Party. Liberal Policies disenfranchised Black America/ ADOS, in favor of 'Diversity Initiatives'. Community Programs dried up, which opened the door to gang activity. Based on the legislation passed by This Group, it looks like The Liberal- Progressive Caucus are the 'Good Cop' side of Systemic Anti- Black Racism. While Conservatives are straight forward w/ their opinion of Black America/ ADOS, Liberals & Progressives take more of a 'Kill Them Softly' approach.

From a Black perspective, this takes Us back to LBJ. He famously touted how tossing Black America a few carrots would lead to at least 50Yrs of Voter loyalty. For his part, Joe Biden aligned w/ 'The Old Guard' (i.e. DixieCrats), & has consistently taken a conservative position when it comes to Black America/ ADOS. His Policies speak volumes. The Biden Administration's pivot away from 'Black Issues' is not surprising to many of Us. It was always a question of 'when', not 'if'. What IS surprising, is how quickly Progressive Leaders fell in line w/ The Biden Agenda. While a segment of Progressives cry foul, most are silent.

Coalitions between Working Class Blackfolk & Whitefolk are not new. They go back to the partnerships between The Enslaved & Indentured Servants. Country Music, is a product of that partnership. But like the Populist Movement of 1888- 1892, these coalitions were broken by a greater solidarity to Whiteness, than Common Cause. Plantation Owners granted Indentured Servants land, & positions of authority over Enslaved Workers (as Overseers & Slave Catchers), in an effort to break any bond that existed between them. Despite having more in common w/ Us than the Wealthy Plantation Owner, Poor Whites chose a 'Come up' over camaraderie w/ a group that they worked, played, & prayed w/... America would look much different, if they held their ground.

The fall of The Populist Party ushered in Jim Crow & Separate But Equal Laws that rewarded Whitefolk for disenfranchising Black Excellence. The mantra of the time was: 'America, is a White Man's Country!' The political coup by White Supremacists in Wilmington, N.C. in 1898 set a new bar. The Ku Klux Klan ran rampant, while White America remained silent. At the 'Turn of The Century', Black Politicians were removed (forced) from Office, & Anti Black Songs became a popular theme. During this Period, Blackfaced performers were celebrated. Al Jolson became The King of Vaudeville, but few complained. Meanwhile, White Politicians & Newspapers expressed concern w/ the 'Threat of Black Rule', which motivated White Mobs to loot & burn dozens of Independent Black Towns & Enclaves. Even today, White America (collectively) doubts that these Events really happened.

White Supremacist sentiment has been on the rise over the last 5Yrs. Charlottesville 'Tiki Marchers' were followed by a series of 'Blackface' incidents by notable politicians, & International Fashion Brands. It appeared that a (global) message was being sent. Bad Actors seemed emboldened under The Trump Administration, but it looks like The Biden Administration is doing very little to reel them in. News of Anti Black racial attacks have all but dried up, as Black America/ ADOS is being depicted as The Face of Anti Asian, Anti Semitic, & Homophobic attacks. The rise in shooting incidents are being attributed to Black Youth, but many of the assailants shown appear to be Black Immigrants.

Antonio Moore of 'Tonetalks' regularly points out the disparities between ADOS & White America. According to his data, White America represents about 83 million families that are collectively worth about $115 Trillion; about $40 Trillion are liquid assets. Black America/ ADOS number about 20 million families that are collectively worth about $6 Trillion; about $450 Billion are liquid assets. The Racial or Lineage Wealth Gap can be clearly seen. If Black America/ ADOS is 25% of the White American population, shouldn't We also represent 25% of their wealth? Black Wealth in America should be closer to $30 Trillion; almost 5X Our actual worth. Our liquid assets are only 1% of White America's- THIS explains the degree of poverty We experience.

Jeff Bezos is personally worth $211 Billion, while Black America's Private Sector is collectively worth about $270 Billion. Are We supposed to believe that Bezos single handedly outperformed an entire Sector in just 25Yrs? I say, not w/o Institutionalized help. The 'White Collective' celebrates the possibility that Bezos represents, while condoning the social practices that keep Blackfolk tethered to poverty. The practice of Red Lining Black/ ADOS Communities undervalued the commercial & private property of that area, which makes it difficult for residents to leverage their property into wealth building projects. It also makes these areas very attractive to non Black Communities (w/ much more Collective Wealth) seeking the same opportunity.

Whitefolk are moving into Black 'Low Income Neighborhoods', but few talk about how Black Residents are being priced out of the Communities that they were born & raised in. Where are they supposed to go? It's ironic, when U consider the fact that Whitefolk 'migrated' en masse out of the Cities & into Suburbia, when Black Communities 'expanded' too close to their enclaves. Two generations later, their grand children have no problem living in 'The Ghetto'. Suddenly, the streets are being cleaned, & Quality of Life issues that persisted for decades are being corrected. Why did it take the appearance of White Residents to necessitate a 'fix'?

Another curious feature of gentrification, at least in NYC, are the number of 'Whites Only' buildings popping up throughout Brooklyn- from East New York, to Metrotech/ Downtown Brooklyn. Harlem, is another area where this is happening. I thought that I understood gentrification, but what We are witnessing, is 21st Century Homesteading. These people obviously plan to create enclaves w/i Black Communities. Gated buildings are popping up throughout 'The Hood'. History is repeating itself, as White Residents become increasingly intolerant of 'Cultural Expression' in these areas, as their numbers in the area increase. What's the End Game?

I asked the question: 'Is White Supremacy a Group Sport?', because I see one segment acting aggressively against Our interests, while another segment [supposedly] stands w/ Us, but watches in silence. Black America/ ADOS is being squeezed into the 'Marginalized Minority' box from All Sides. At a time when We are pushing for Reparations, Whitefolk & People Of Color (POC, BIPOC) seem united in the task of silencing Us. We were forced off Our land & into Chattel Slavery. Emancipation gave Us the freedom to start over, but once again, We were forced off Our land & 'encouraged' to migrate North & West. There, We survived Gang & Mob violence, eventually creating Communities of Our Own. Despite Imminent Domain, Drugs, Criminality, Police Brutality, & other practices. Many of Us endured in these Communities for decades; through Good & Bad Times.

Jason Black, of "The Black Authority" has pointed out how CNN & MSNBC have recently taken a FOX News stance on the issue of 'Wokeness'. For some reason, Wokeness is being associated more w/ Black Issues, than Progressive Politics; which includes Women, Immigrants/ Asians, & LGBTQ... Issues. Progressives have [again] remained silent, as a growing 'anti- Wokeness' Agenda is being laid out. Where are We supposed to go next? Why is it so important to keep Us from having a Right of Expression? Why are tens of millions of people okay w/ this? I have said on more than one occasion: If White Supremacy is so 'Superior', why do 'believers' have to go to the extremes that they do to substantiate it? Supremacy is irrefutable, & doesn't warrant a need to compete... I still don't understand the Collective Silence- How does it fit into the narrative of a 'Judeo- Christian' morality?

Just Thinking...

Meditating on The State of The World, particularly the global vibe of anxiety over recent Yrs... It's clear that The World is changing, & it's not just Global Warming. Give or take a few Yrs, 'Western Civilization' has had a 2,350Yr run, & it appears that Time is up. This may explain the air of desperation in Right Wing politics & White Supremacist rhetoric. The European's gene pool is shrinking, & The Same People that practice principles of Racial Purity & Eugenics, R now Socially Engineering miscegenation into Pop Culture.

If we R 2 believe the propaganda, Asians & Latinx R next in line 2 receive the 'privilege' of Whiteness; like Caucasians, Catholics, & European Jews b4 them. It appears that the only requirement 4 membership, is a commitment 2 Anti- Black Oppression. The treatment of Blackfolk in Asia & Latin America is downplayed, but it isn't cordial. Ask Blackfolk in Korea, Japan or China. Then ask those Haitians in Chile, or Black Mexicans in Vera Cruz...

All of this is interesting, because we're in an Age of Prophecy. White Supremacists pride themselves on their strong Judeo Christian Values, but they really practice a form of 15th Century Catholicism that condones hegemony & enslavement. The phrase then, was 'Christianize the Heathen', but those heathens brought Europe out of The Black Plague. It was also heathens that nursed sick & starving Europeans that fled 'Civilization' 4 the sanctuary of The Americas.

If these Honorary/ Future Whitefolk think that they can join the fray & keep the Anti- Black Oppression bus rolling, they're mistaken. Latinx & Asian Communities were caught up in the Proxy Wars of White Supremacy just a generation ago. The ONLY REASON that they're being considered, is out of genetic necessity. Asians in general have no love 4 Europeans, but the Chinese in particular, seek retribution 4 nearly 200Yrs of European Domination & Opium addiction. They welcome an upheaval of Western Society. The Latinx Community however, aspires 2 Whiteness. While their motives differ, both groups agree w/ the continued marginalization of Blackness.

It's ironic that so many professed Christians R blind 2 a Prophecy found in their scriptures. America doesn't just owe a debt 2 American Descendants Of Slavery, Religious Canon dictates it. The Hayes- Tilden Compromise of 1876- 1877 was a watershed moment. That was when The American Government broke their Covenant w/ Black America. Over the next 145Yrs, America not only ignored their responsibility, they sanctioned Federal, State, & Local Laws meant 2 relegate & keep Black America as a perpetual underclass.

Things become clearer, when U see how America can pay reparations 2 Japanese Americans, Native Americans, & European Jews 4 wrong acts against their Communities, but The American Government can't even make a formal apology 2 Black America 4 subjecting Our Ancestors 2 the brutality of Chattal Slavery. It's obvious that America isn't sorry; Slave Labor built America. The Slave Economy spurred The Industrial Revolution, & positioned The U.S. as the successor 2 Great Britian, as The #1 World Power.

I say all of this, 2 make clear that some type of spiritual threshold has been crossed. There have been moments that I felt were spiritually significant over the Yrs, but Trayvon Martin's murder kicked things up a notch. I believe that George Floyd & Breonna Taylor's murders triggered some type of Spiritual Fail-safe Measure. Malcolm X pointed out long ago how scripture dictates that when a King (Government) releases Slaves, He (They) R required 2 supply them w/ land & provisions lasting 20- 25Yrs. America's reluctance 2 follow through w/ Black America/ ADOS, but Her willingness 2 provide 4 'Minority Groups', appears 2 have set some type of Prophecy in motion.

Minority Groups (White Women, White LGBTQ..., Latinx, & Asians) appropriate the Black American narrative of marginalization & oppression 2 ramp up sympathy 4 their particular group's Agenda. In the presence of Blackfolk, these individuals talk solidarity. They make every effort 2 romance Blackfolk into supporting their Movement; No one questions the hardship of Black America. Anything that Blackfolk endorse MUST B legitimate...

However, in their own circles, these individuals R pretty conservative about their opinion of Black America. Their willingness 2 participate in Our oppression is mind boggling, when U consider how much We supported their effort 2 B treated fairly. Apparently, they R unaware that they will suffer the Same Fate as the White Supremacist.

All of these groups work in concert 2 marginalize the Global Black Community, but they fail 2 recognize that We R as vital 2 Planet Earth, as the Polar Icecaps. Even in Our current state, Blackfolk have (undeniable) cultural influence on the rest of The World. Reducing Our population 2 a lower state of Being, also lowers the state of everyone else. The Television & Music Industries R starting 2 understand this.

The Forces of White Supremacy KNOW that a level playing field is detrimental 4 them. They hope 2 stall the inevitable w/ a Proxy Race War, using the Buffer Classes. From a historical perspective, they're following the game plan of The Brahmins & North Afrikan 'Arabs' (Seljuk Turks). In this instance, White Supremacist Asians & Hispanics will B used.

Roughly 530Yrs ago, The Dark Age came 2 an end. Europe proclaimed an Age of Rebirth & Enlightenment, as they enslaved their teachers & mentors. It was successful then, because The Age of The Moor ran its course. Repeating that strategy won't work today, because The Age of The European has also run its course. While The Moors were able 2 retreat back into Afrika & keep their Society going 4 another 300- 400Yrs, Europe won't B so lucky.

White Supremacy, is an illusion backed by brutality. Military Superiority & Naval Dominance has allowed Europe 2 prop itself up in a protected bubble, but Asia has not only caught up 2 Europe & The U.S., but has made Europeans & Americans dependent on Asian Made Products. Multinationals put profit over patriotism, & now China is in the Driver's Seat. The (near exponential) rise in cost of Chinese containers is just the beginning.

All of this is relative 2 the plight of the Global Black Community, & Black America specifically. The blatant Anti- Black sentiment practiced by Non Black Communities has reached a Critical Mass of sorts. In America, The U.S. Government is propping up People Of Color/ Honorary Whites economically, while Black Communities suffer in 3rd World conditions. Where R the Billions set aside 4 Black America?

Every effort is being made 2 avoid talking honestly about The Black Experience in America. Critical Race Theory, while only taught in Colleges & Universities, essentially takes a historic look @ Race Relations in America. What exactly is wrong w/ that? Why is there so much pushback on teaching our children The Truth about Race in America? If there is so much concern 4 how White Children will react, why is there NO CONCERN 4 how Black Children R currently made 2 feel?

Europe & America's preoccupation w/ Anti Black Racism has put them on the verge of economic collapse. Efforts in America 2 disenfranchise Black America over the last 40Yrs has not only cost America $16 Trillion, it also damaged the overall Middle Class. Buffer Groups imported 2 replace Black Citizens don't share Our sense of Nationalism; many R here 2 get money 2 send back home. 20- 30% of the GDP of Black & Brown Nations come from expatriates. Nothing wrong w/ that, but Black America's money circulates domestically.

Black American Workers buy American made products, which keeps other Americans working. Buffer Groups don't have America's Best Interest in mind; most would Go Home if they could afford 2. The American Dream 4 them is obviously about opportunity, but it looks more & more like these Buffer Groups have NO CONCERN 4 the welfare of Black Americans that made it possible 4 them 2 immigrate 2 America in the 1st place.

A change in the Social Structure of Western Society is inevitable, despite the efforts of White Supremacists & their Proxies 2 maintain the System in place. The Earth (Geb) itself is changing, certainly that will change how We do things. Just a thought, but what if the Earth is reacting 2 Social Injustice as much as it is reacting 2 Global Warming? Is it really such a crazy thought?

A Quick Thought...

Been laying back 'In The Cut', watching The World do its Thang... The issue of Mass Shootings in AmeriKKKa can B polarizing, but Professor Black Truth made an Excellent Point about Police Training & Protocol. The tragic School Shooting in Uvalde WAS NOT the 1st Time that Police failed 2 follow Training Protocol. From Columbine 2 Parkland, We see a hesitancy on the part of those Officers 2 ENGAGE armed assailants, despite their Training. On the flip side of The Coin, We see an almost OVEREXUBERANCE on the part of Police Officers 2 Shoot & Kill unarmed Black Men, Women, & Children.

The recent shooting of Leonna Hale, an unarmed pregnant Black Woman by Missouri Police is the latest example of what We call Double Standards. According to witnesses, Leonna was shot 5 Times by Officers, after showing compliance by raising her hands to show she was unarmed. When ordered 2 lay on the ground, she responded that she was pregnant. We know that hormones run rampant during pregnancy, so that may account 4 her attempt 2 run. That said, She wasn't given the Benefit of The Doubt that so many Armed White Men have received.

According 2 Prof. Black Truth, when the Police were questioned, the Female Officer involved said that she fired on Ms. Hale because she 'feared 4 her life' (Tried & True excuse amongst White Supremacist Women). The Male Officer said he 'believed that she had a weapon'. Was this b4 or after Leonna raised her hands? Why did she need 2 B handcuffed AFTER being shot 5 times? How is it that an armed White Man generates more restraint than a pregnant Black Woman? While i'm on The Subject, why R Anti- Black Hate Crimes considered 'Unfortunate Events', but simply cussing @ Asians, European Jews, & White LGBTQ... individuals R regarded as 'Bonafide' Hate Crimes?

The 1st Amendment protects The Right of Racists of ALL ETHNICITIES 2 throw Racial Slurs @ Black Americans, but is SILENT when Blackfolk R implicated. This move on the part of 'Minorities' 2 jump on the Anti- Black Bandwagon will have serious consequences, when the pendulum swings back towards Them. It's ironic how these Groups can speak on White Supremacy & Structural Racism when it directly affects them, but R mostly silent when acts of Anti- Black Racism make their way into Mainstream Media. Black America has been @ The Vanguard in the fight against White Supremacy for 146Yrs.

Over those years, (Indigenous) Black Americans have fought not just 4 Our Right of Expression, but 4 the Rights of EVERY GROUP that has been marginalized by the Forces of White Supremacy; both @ Home & Abroad. Most of the so called 'Black & Brown People' that immigrated here, owe Black America a HUGE 'Thank You'. Before 1965, the majority of immigrants coming 2 AmeriKKKa came from England, Germany, & Australia. The U.S. Government had a STRICT POLICY that limited the # of 'non- White' immigrants allowed into The Country. The Civil Rights Movement opened the door 4 them. Black Immigrants in particular, numbered less than 1% of the overall Black population back in 1960. 2day, they number around 10%.

We fully understand the circumstances that motivated many of these people 2 seek a better life here. We're simply pointing out that We have been fighting This Fight 4 so long, that it's part of Our Cultural Identity & Lineage. These 'Minority Groups' have very short memories- They somehow forgot how They ALL rode on Our Shoulders, b4 The U.S. Gov't decided 2 GIVE them the benefits & privileges (Affirmative Action Initiatives) set aside SPECIFICALLY 4 Us. They have lived their 'American Dream' @ Our Expense 4 so long, that They actually believe that They have a Social Position over Us.

As White Supremacist activity rises (as it ALWAYS does during Times of Recession), We will see more attacks on 'Soft Targets'. Black America got caught up in Bill Cosby's perspective of The American Dream, but We NEVER aspired 2 Collectively integrate into White America. We have a genetic memory that reminds Us of why We NEED 2 have Our Own. This makes 4 a Hard Target. The Suburban Enclaves of Black & Brownfolk, who lived among Us, but couldn't wait 2 get AWAY from Us, will B the targets. They don't see it coming, but WE DO! We will watch how They respond. Historically, their recourse has been to FLEE, or look 2 Us 2 Stand w/ Them; but They didn't want Solidarity w/ Us, They wanted SUPERIORITY over Us... Now They will have 2 fight Their Own battles.

-Good Luck w/ That.

White Supremacists R a funny breed... They talk about Christian Values; some can quote The Bible by chapter & verse. But when it comes 2 Blackfolk, they suddenly can't remember their Judeo- Christian Values. They can't even acknowledge the biblical description of Jesus having 'Skin of burning copper & hair like lamb's wool'... The Pope may have blessed Mussolini's Tanks, but I NEVER read how Jesus condoned Man's inhumanity against his fellow Man.

It's pretty obvious that White Supremacy is a BELIEF based on fear, & insecurity. Superior Beings don't need 2 resort 2 violence & terrorism, Cowards do.

-Just Sayin'

So 'Face The Nation' featured Researchers from The Violence Project, in a segment on what makes a Mass Shooter... I found it more than a little entertaining to watch everyone involved go out of their way to avoid describing the typical Mass Shooter as a White Male under the age of 30. They also went to great lengths to humanize these individuals. They mentioned how these Mass Shooters 'are Us' & how they're typically found in 'Our Classrooms'. The Researchers attribute their behavior to some Early Trauma, that significantly shaped their Social Outlook.

History shows that in many cases, these Mass Shooters were victims of bullies- like most of Us. Unlike the rest of Us, these individuals sought revenge on both the bullies, & those that didn't do anything about it. In extreme cases, these individuals project their feeling of powerlessness onto others, that they proceed to bully. Most of Us find a way to get over this. There is no rational excuse for an 18Yr Old to purchase an Assault Rifle & a significant amount of ammunition. There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for them to shoot up a School, Mall, Church, Theater, or ANY gathering. The intention of most to commit 'Suicide By Cop', only shows the depth of their cowardice.

America, is a land populated by a significant number of spoiled & entitled individuals- that are generally mediocre. Many owe their prosperity to nepotism. The very thought of competition has them marching w/ Tiki Torches, & storming the Nation's Capital. If we're being honest, Mass Shooters are merely the 'flip' Side of the American Coin. These 'Researchers' are trying to normalize this psychosis, because to them, it IS normal. They can't go into too much detail though; They run the risk of disproving decades of Anti- Black rhetoric regarding Criminality, Violence, & Anti- Establishment behavior... But that was NEVER Us.

-We traditionally settle 'Beef' up close & personal- w/ Our Hands.

Geopolitics & Double Standards

Volodomyr Zelenskyy did a great job of giving his perspective of Ukraine's War w/ Russia, in his interview w/ Margaret Brennen on 'Face The Nation'. The pictures of devastated Communities, & mass graves show the extent of suffering that Ukrainians on The Front Line face. Regardless of one's position on this War, it's hard not to feel for the innocent caught in the middle. The thought of Russian 'Filtration Camps', where families are separated, sound unconscionable. Zelenskyy is repeating his mantra of 'more weapons', but W.H. Nat'l Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan told Brennen that The U.S. has already sent $15B in weapons to Ukraine. Some estimate that U.S. aid to Ukraine will top $60B.

From an Indigenous (Black) American perspective, the geopolitics of Ukraine is curious. Cities have been destroyed, & the people are suffering, but why? NATO will never accept Ukraine as a Member State, & The EU is using Ukraine as a proxy to destabilize Russian Influence globally. Despite the news of turmoil in Russia over drafting additional soldiers, The Russian Ruble continues to grow in value. 'Global South' Nations continue to do business w/ The Kremlin, giving Russia alternatives to Western Europe. Meanwhile, The EU is already feeling the backlash of Russian Sanctions. They are collectively preparing for a Cold Winter, as protests are growing throughout Europe.

The U.S. has spearheaded NATO'S 'membership drive' in Eastern Bloc Countries, so I understand The Biden Administration's commitment to arming Ukraine. The issue that I have, is the double standard playing out in Black America's face. Flint & Detroit (Mi) need $2B to fix a Drinking Water problem that has been ongoing since The Obama Administration. Jackson (Ms) needs @ least $1B to revamp their outdated Water & Filtration System. Parts of Alabama are still fighting a hookworm problem, resulting from outdated Sewage Systems. The Federal Gov't has given a little 'lip service', but have been slow to put Real Dollars into any of these emergencies.

Meanwhile, U.S. HIMARS & other weapons sent to Ukraine are showing up on the [Ukrainian] Black Market. 'Redacted' recently reported that nearly 400 train cars, about 2 dozen shipping containers, & several tractor trailers of supplies sent to Ukraine have gone missing. What exactly are American Taxpayers paying for? Back in Washington, D.C. Democrats & Republicans alike refuse to talk about Reparations; unless it's for Elderly LGBTQ..., or Disability payments to Transgender Individuals suffering from 'Gender Dysmorphia'(???). How does The Biden Administration expect 2 import 100,000 Afghans, 100,000 Ukrainians, plus an estimated 2 million Illegal Immigrants from Latin America, w/o presenting a Black Agenda?

It's clear that there is a united effort to silence Us, but America's 'money moves' only strengthen Our argument for Reparations. We just need to stand firm on Our Square. Regardless of one's identification as: ADOS, FBA, Freedmen/ FreeMen, Indigenous/ Aboriginal, We ALL share the same Lineage. Our Experience, is uniquely 'American'. We may follow different roads, but We share the same destination. Ukraine is looking more & more like a (yet another) bloody, barbaric 'Corporate Money Grab'. If the U.S. Gov't can come up w $5T for Iraq & Afghanistan, $10T for COVID & now, 10s of Billions of dollars for Ukraine, it can come up w/ WHATEVER the final price tag for Reparations turns out to be... Can you really put a price on building a World Economic & Military Power?

-Just Asking

So Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R- Al.) told a crowd that Democrats R Pro Crime, bcuz They want 2 'take what U have'. They want 2 give Reparations 2 The People committing the crimes'... Really? How did those Alabamians in that crowd GET what They got? What 'people' R the Senator talking about?

The majority of the crimes in America, R committed by White Men. According 2 FBI Crime Stats, White Men represent 70% of All Arrests. They can afford legal representation, so they rarely plead out. As 4 The Dems, NONE have a Black Agenda; & those in support of Reparations, reject a Lineage Based Program that focuses solely on American Descendants Of Slavery.

What I REALLY hear in Sen. Tuberville's comments 2 his constituents, R the effects of Our Argument 4 Reparations. He can get his 'people' as riled as he likes, They WILL have 2 think about how 2 pay 4 their self described 'Original Sin'. There's no escaping This.

Dave Chappelle is an enigma 2 me. The Brother has NOTHING on Bojangles. His 'Genius', is the ability 2 'Soft Shoe' around Topics in a way that has U nodding in agreement one moment, & scratching Ur Head the next. His SNL Monologue was a Masters Class in Court Jester etiquette. He makes a point of singling out WHO runs Hollywood in one breath; then in the next, he compares That Community w/ The Black Community of Ferguson, who R Structurally Oppressed by ticky tack Laws that perpetuates Poverty. They STILL have Debtors Prison in Ferguson!

I have noticed a Trend among Blackfolk w/ a penchant 4 using The N- Word in 'Mixed Company'- Very few have Black Mates. B4 We get 2 The Business of 'Nation Building', We need 2 take a page from Toussaint & Dessalines by REMOVING HOUSE NEGROES from The Equation.

FTX: When it looks too good to be True...

So lemme get this straight: The now bankrupt Crypto Currency Exchange, FTX is being sued for upwards of $11B, for defrauding 5 Million 'Unsophistocated Investors'. Included in the Law Suit, are Celebrities like Tom Brady, Kevin O' Leary (of Shark Tank fame), Steph Curry & Shaquille O'neal. As this Story develops, a deeper, darker narrative is being exposed. It now appears that FTX is caught up in an International Bank Laundering Scheme involving The U.S., The WEF, & Ukraine.

Investigative Journalists are still putting all of the pieces together, but what has been gleaned so far, is that FTX appears to have been created specifically for the purpose of Graft:

It's Value was artificially inflated. Rumor has it that FTX's '2nd largest Investor' infused additional Capital into the Exchange. Celebrities were then enticed into becoming Representatives, to attract Customers looking to 'Get In on the Crypto Currency Craze'.

FTX Founder & CEO Sam Bankman- Fried uses upwards of $70M of FTX's Cash Assets to finance The Democratic Party's War Chest, along w/ a few GOP Candidates like Mitt Romney.

Bankman- Fried then offers the use of his Exchange to help the Ukrainian Government create 'fiat', or convert their Crypto Dollar donations into 'Real Dollars' for Weapons & Humanitarian Aid.

Meanwhile, Congressmen & Senators vote in Congress to send Billions to Ukraine ($80B in 8 Months, w/ Biden promising $50B more).

Volodomyr Zelensky in turn, transfers a portion of that U.S. 'Aid' (Tax Payer $$$) into FTX Exchange; as of yet, No One knows why.

The Red Flags went up on FTX, when the same '2nd Largest Investor' was caught selling off his Shares. The FTC & other Agencies are looking into how many other Investors sold off their shares & possible Crypto Currency, & how much. In the meantime:

Millions of Customers have been locked out of their Accounts.

The FTX's Crypto Currency is in a free fall.

The FTX Exchange has Filed for Bankruptcy w/ losses in the Billions.

One Angle being discussed, is the effect that FTX's bankruptcy will have on Millennials. Crypto Currencies tend to be an interest of The Young. The current economic state of The West is already volatile. Millennials are already struggling as a Collective; can they afford a crack in the paper thin armor of the Crypto Currency Exchanges? FTX is in the spotlight, but eyes are on ALL of the Crypto Currency Exchanges.

A curious deletion of an FTX 'Partnership' Link from The WEF website revealed their association w/ the Exchange. Reporters have already discovered that FTX Founder, Sam Bankman- Fried has an Aunt that is a long time member of this 'Collective'. The question becomes: What was their involvement in FTX? What was the extent of their 'Partnership'? With all of the Spooky Conspiracies being attributed to This Group, Currency Manipulation doesn't sound far fetched.

Another curious Angle, is following The Money. It looks like Sam Bankman- Fried was propped up as The Head of this Operation- He doesn't appear to have any prior Experience. No One really knows where his Start Up Capital came from, other than the mysterious '2nd Largest Investor'. That said, a pattern of transaction shows how $$$ flowed from:

Ukraine sending Crypto Dollars to

FTX Exchange, who send 'Real Dollars' to

U.S. Politicians, who send Tax Payer Dollars

to Ukraine, & On & on... The question now is, Who got What?

As I said, Investigative Reporters are just scratching the surface of this Story, but from what we already know, this won't be a Feel Good Story.

Is Rafael Warnock the Canary in DNC Coal Mine?

So The Democratic Party is expecting Blackfolk to go out & vote overwhelmingly for Sen. Raphael Warnock, but I STILL haven t heard about a Specific Black Agenda from Dems or the Warnock Camp. I don't know about U, but I have been inundated w/ emails from Warnock's Camp asking for donations. I wanted to see what was being offered in return for My donation. What I read was a combination of cookie cutter 'Rising Tide' Class Based Policy, & Herschel Walker doom & gloom scenarios... Once again, EVERY GROUP gets Specific Policy for their Lot, except Blackfolk.

Rev. Warnock rode into The Senate on the coattails of Black Georgians, but he has yet to propose anything specific for The Group that put him in Office. The Fact that he has to endure a Run Off against Herschel Walker reveals how flawed he really is. Funny how 'democratic shills' dance around Warnock's inherent weakness when they're questioned about Walker's resilience; in spite of multiple Self Inflicted blows. Dems anticipate low GOP Voter turnout, & just enough support from Black Georgians to push Warnock to Victory... Sounds feasible.

The Problem that Dems face, is Blackfolk are not as receptive to 'Operatives' representing Us, as We were just 2Yrs ago. Recent Events, where Black Men were singled out for their actions; while White Men acting badly were glossed over, served as a Wake Up Call for many. The # of 'Black Operatives' in Entertainment, Sports, & Politics became apparent when We saw Who were speaking out against these Black Men. We preach that Black America is not a Monolith, but that doesn't mean that We don't share Common Core Ideals as a Collective.

Critics have been quick to say: What exactly is this 'Code' that we're All supposed to get on? It's really not that complicated. The 'Code' that We speak about, is simply a Declaration to uphold, preserve, & protect The Cultural Values of The ADOS/ Black Family. This entails representing:

Black Excellence in All Fields

Positive Black Images- In Public, On Screen & On Air

Black Love & The Spiritual Covenant between Black Men & Women

Black Economics & Generational Wealth

Proper Examples of Black Manhood & Fatherhood

Protection of Black Womanhood & Femininity

Protection of Black Children & Childhood Experiences

We ALL KNOW instinctively when we're acting less than Righteous. The essence of being 'On Code', is a Spiritual Connection w/ the Cultural Collective. That 'instinct' then becomes Common Sense among The Collective. It becomes easier for individuals to acknowledge being Off Code, when Our neighbors can reinforce that notion [non verbally], as We question & wrestle w/ it internally. The Governmental Effort to break the Traditional ADOS/ Black Family Structure over the last 50Yrs has led Us into adopting some pretty Bad Habits.

Not only has The Democratic Party been Front & Center @ the helm of Benign Neglect Policies that drained Black Communities of vital resources & upset Our sense of Communal Rapport; They stood silently as the Republican Party denigrated ADOS/ Black America for circumstances instigated by Liberal Progressives, w/ help from their Black & POC Political Operatives. It's pretty clear that Dems need 'The Black Vote', but according to Congressional Minority WHIP Elect- Katherine Clark, The Democratic Party Platform is: 'Workers, Women, & Climate'.. Where exactly does ADOS/ Black American Families fit into this?

Raphael Warnock is in an interesting position. His adherence to Democratic Party Philosophy, as it pertains to ADOS/ Black Americans, is why he had to spend $388M since 2020 on Campaign expenditures. Sen. Warnock may stoke enough fear to win his Run Off Election against Herschel Walker. He was expected to win his Senate Seat outright, so he shouldn't celebrate too much if he wins. That said, if he doesn't offer Blackfolk a Return on Our Investment, he most likely won't survive a future Election. He should learn from Stacey Abrams' experience.

Mainstream Media is calling Kevin McCarthy's rise 2 House Speaker a debacle, but Black Americans can learn something from that Congressional Vote. Those 20 'dissident' GOP Members Of Congress stymied The Agenda of 202 Other GOP Members. They were very effective in getting a Return for their Vote. Many Black Americans fall in line w/ The Democratic Agenda, assuming Our #s aren't large enough 2 effect anything Tangible. Meanwhile, Social Action has been more effective in producing Legislation than Campaign Promises.

As Gen Z gets acquainted w/ Politics, Gen X & Millennials R reassessing their Method of Political Action. I believe that Now is the Time for Us 2 Stand On Our Square Collectively. The Biden Administration is looking through Us; expecting more Bark, than Bite in retaliation. He & his cronies will once again come calling on Our Support; The Freedom Caucus showed Us how 2 play Political Hard Ball. As Black Americans, We cannot get caught up in Democratic or Republican Politics; they're both Wings of the same Bird.

Over the last 150Yrs, We supported both Parties loyally, but failed 2 see how Democrats & Republicans take turns assuming the Lead Role in keeping Us in a perpetual State of 'Arrested Development'. Neither Party has Our Best Interests in mind. That said, Our #s w/i the Democratic Party gives us leverage; We simply need 2 utilize it. The Democratic Party Experiment has lasted nearly 60Yrs, & We lost more ground than We gained. For the sake of Our Children, We cannot afford 2 wait another Election Cycle for Dems 2 produce Tangible Legislation for American Descendants Of Chattal Slavery.

Time 2 cut Our political teeth- We have a Reparations Battle 2 prepare for.

Ok, lemme get this Straight:

Whoopi Goldberg sat on ABC TV's 'The View'- in front of a National Audience & said that Black America got Reparations(?) When Sunny Hostin questioned her (incredulously), Whoopi corrected herself 2 tell Sunny that her family got their '20 Acres & a Mule' (in Florida), by 'Standing on The Front & not leaving until they got what they asked 4'. Maybe they weren't looking 4 'Sunny's family', but they were looking 4 hers.. Seriously though! People R still laughing @ how The Network tried 2 drown her out w/ music, before finally cutting 2 a commercial.

Nevermind the fact that President Andrew Johnson repealed the Measure calling for '40 Acres & a Mule', as fast as Gen. Grant issued it. Personally, I think that would've been a pretty neat trick, when U consider the fact that Whoopi grew up in the Chelsea Projects in NYC... Who remembers her Welfare Story? What happened 2 their 'Reparations'? I don't know what her motivation is, other than assuring the Karens of The World that she's not only Down; she's STILL a 'Caryn' herself. Talk about Ride Or Die!... Then again, maybe she's just getting too High on her Own supply(?)

-Just Saying

What does The U.S. & its Allies hope 2 accomplish w/ another Round of Sanctions on Russia? R they intentionally trying 2 motivate more 'activity' between Russia, China, & Iran? Maybe The West wants to increase the momentum of BRICS Nations? The Global South is still neutral on the War in Ukraine; Afrika welcomes Russian Trade... Why is France & Germany 'poking The Bear'- don't they have bigger problems?

Meanwhile, We're supposed 2 wait w/ baited breath, while World Governments (outside Afrika) decide on handing Global Control of future Pandemic Events over 2 The W.H.O.

-Good Times!

Yo! Did I hear Roland Martin say the words: 'Black First', in response 2 what he thinks Corporate Diversity Programs should look like? Seriously??? When did Roland get off the Diversity Bus? Remember when he couldn't tell Richard Spencer that he was a 'Black' Man? Dude was 'A Christian', 'A Man of God', (ect...) ANYTHING but a Black Man... Now 'Baron Von Butta Biscuit' is Black First? Bootlick opportunists like Roland R facing a larger narrative of 'Chickens coming home to Roost' w/i the Black Community. He won't B the last 'Snake' looking 2 Shed their Skin.

The Difference between The Black Agenda & The Reparations Movement

Reparations Commissions are popping up across the Country, but none of them come close to addressing the true spirit of Reparations. There are several reasons for this:

Neither Democrats nor Republicans in Congress have a real interest in discussing Reparations; let alone dispensing anything tangible.

Minorities involved in these Reparations Projects have either tried to include their demographic into the discussion, or they have been against it.

Infighting amongst members of the ADOS, FBA, Freemen, & Indigenous Community have weakened the overall message of Reparations. The Masses don't realize that they are All THE SAME LINEAGE GROUP. This division weakens Our collective argument, but has allowed some to eat well over the past few Yrs.

Organizations like The NAACP, The Urban League, The National Action Network, NCOBRA, NAARC, & other like minded Groups have promoted a Trans Atlantic Reparations Agenda that ignores CARICOM. In effect, it 'Centers' Black Immigrants (including Afro Latinos) in the Black American Experience. Most arrived at least 10Yrs after Jim Crow ended- how do they qualify for American Reparations?

The recent kerfuffle over San Francisco NAACP President Rev. Amos Brown's rejection of that City's Reparations Proposal spotlights the problem w/ letting Our (so called) 'Established Leaders' drive the Reparations Bus. They drove the Bus into Our current situation, why should We expect anything different from them? Many of these individuals chose Corporate Donations over Black Community Development. They arent 'Leaders', they're Corporate Lobbyists. These are the Same People that let HR- 40 rot on the 'Social Action vine' for over 30Yrs; If they REALLY wanted Reparations...

Another issue, are the individuals & Organizations narrating 'The Black Agenda' into the Reparations Argument. They are separate & distinct. The White Noise of their rhetoric has confused The Masses, which weakens the magnitude of Our Fight. For the sake of clarity, I want to point out the difference between The Black Agenda & The Reparations Movement.

The Black Agenda, is an All inclusive Program for Black & Afrikan Americans, regardless of their Country of Origin. This includes Africans, Caribbeans, Afro Latinos, & Afro Asians. All of Us share in the current experience of being Black in America. It is an experience that is unique to Us, & is also what unites Us.

The Black Agenda is about Equity. America loves to promote 'Equality', but equal measure doesn't guarantee that Everyone will somehow end up on equal ground. We have been collectively marginalized in America, so it's only fair that they level the playing field. 'Rising Tide' Programs, like those offered by The Democratic Party are on the right track, but NONE take into account the fact that Black America needs an extra scoop of whatever they propose.

The Black Agenda deals w/ the issues of Community Development: Residential & Commercial/ Business Property Ownership, Job Development, Training & Employment Opportunities, Health Care & Mental Health Solutions, School Reform, After School Programs, Youth Empowerment, Visual & Performing Arts Programs, Daycare & Pre- K Programs, along w/ the necessary Community Boards needed to present these & other Community related issues to Local & State Agencies. The goal, is to improve the overall Quality of Life in Black Communities- up to the level of Every Other Community.

The Reparations Movement, is a specific call for American Society to pay their long overdue debt to American Descendants of Chattel Slavery. This Movement is about Indemnification. While Black America collectively deserves legislation, American Descendants Of Slavery deserve much more. The problem w/ EVERY Reparations Program offered so far, is they All ignore the fact that Reparations is a debt owed. They All read like Politicians are giving Blackfolk a hand out. These Programs also fall short on what is really owed.

A lot of numbers have been thrown around over the years, but I have consistently said that Final Reparations numbers will depend on WHO is held liable. If the U.S. Government alone is held liable, Reparations will probably be in the $18 Trillion- $22 Trillion range. If Corporations & Individual families are included, that number could reach $64 Trillion. That should give a clue to the extent of Exploitation, Theft, Terrorism & Oppression that Black America endured over the last 246Yrs- 400Yrs. American History is a chronicle of Anti- Black sentiment. Reparations Naysayers point out the impossibility of dispensing Trillions of Dollars, but a Multigenerational Reparations Program is an easy solution.

The Republican Party's outright refusal of, & The Democratic Party's attempt to graft Feminist & LGBTQ... rhetoric to Critical Race Theory (CRT), are attempts by both Parties to keep Mainstream America away from Our Nation's cruel & bloody past. They obviously fear divulging this history, because it will quell the Argument 'Against', as it strengthens the National Argument 'For' Reparations. The Immigrant Argument of 'I wasnt Here' becomes embarrassing, when We consider 2 facts:

It was Black American Labor that built America up & made it attractive (i.e. The Land of Milk & Honey) to Europeans, Asians, Latinos, Caribbeans, & Afrikans looking to start a New Life.

Black America is responsible for motivating ALL of the Immigration Initatives over the last 150Yrs; especially those since 1965.

It's only fitting for Immigrants living their American Dream (at another's expense) to pay tribute to the people who made that dream possible. I like the analogy of 'Inheriting an Old House'. The New Occupant didn't cause the wear & tear on the house, but that doesn't change the fact that they will have to invest the Time, Work, & Money needed to restore & maintain it. THAT, is the price of Occupancy.

Another thing to consider, is the fact that most Black Americans are descendants of Indigenous Americans or American Indians (Coppertoned Aborigines); not to be confused w/ 'Native Americans', who migrated from Siberia. Less than 10% of Transatlantic Slaves landed in North America. Our Ancestors were Prisoners Of War, that were forced into Indentured Servitude, & later Chattel Slavery on their Own Land. Census Records reveal the effort to hide Our lineage.

Starting w/ the 1790 Census, Indigenous indentured servants were reclassified as Negro & Colored. By the 1900 Census, Indigenous People were being punished for identifying as 'Indian'. They were forced to identify as Negro, Colored, or Mulatto. By the 1970 Census, We were designated 'Black'; & on the 1990 Census, We were labeled 'Afrikan American'... Out Of Afrika Theory is not only Culturally false, it now appears to be a ploy to get Us off of Our Land. We're looking to Afrika, while the Blood & Bones of Our Ancestors fertilize This Land. Our success in agriculture isn't an accident- We were Here for millennia!... I guess that adds an extra wrinkle to the Reparations Discussion.

It's Time for Us to link the moving parts of Our Lineage into Black Voltron, so We can get on w/ The Work. -Just Saying

I am overwhelmed w/ Pride & Solidarity by Justin Jones & Justin Pearson's conviction 2 Standing On their Square. As the youngest lawmakers in Tennessee State Politics, BOTH send a clear message that A New Generation is taking The Reins. The GOP overplayed their hand- the double expulsion WILL B overturned... This isn't 1877.
