Society's Fraternal Twins: White Privilege & Black Rage

Slave, obey your Master

Turn the other cheek

Your Reward awaits you in Heaven

These were the 3 Pillars of Black Christianity. Regardless of denomination, Slave Masters taught their slaves the 3 Pillars, as part of a bigger plot of Indoctrination. Former Attorney General Jeff Session's use of Bible text to condone separating Immigrant Families rang an old, familiar bell... According to The Catholic Church, the purpose of Chattel Slavery, was to 'Christianize the Heathen'; even though these 'Heathens' practiced a higher form of Culture & Civility, than the 'Enlightened' Europeans putting them in chains.

Centuries of Societal reinforcenent (of Racial Bigotry) has created 2 undercurrents. They are White Privilege & Black Rage. A lot of effort has gone into promoting one, while simultaneously stifiling the other. The imbalance created, has morphed into a Spiritual Unrest that can't be ignored. Those in Power, as usual, are attempting to kick the proverbial can down the Road. Judging from the # of recent natural disasters (i.e. 500 Yr Events), it looks like Mother Nature is intervening

''White Privilege', can be viewed as a Courtesy extended to proponents of White Supremacy. It usually involves some effort to handicap the Black Community: Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, Socially, or Financially. In a general sense, it gives 'Wealthier Classes' freedom to act Above The Law. Ironically, these 'proponents' don't have to be White, or even Caucasian; just like Zionists don't have to be European Jews... Both belief systems are founded in Western Hegemony, & the philosophy of domination. They require 'Classes' or a Caste System. Members of the 'Lowest Class', are most likely defeated adversaries that are singled out- shamed & abused @ the leisure of The Masses.

In Europe, adversaries were identified tribally or nationally; i.e. The French (Gaul, Norman) versus The Italian (Roman), or German (Vandal, Goth). They created 'boogey man' propaganda about each other to preoccupy The Masses w/ thoughts of Nationalism. In truth, they were All servants of some sort... In the Western Hemisphere, the Black People (Copper toned Aborigines) they encountered, possessed skills (Farming, Building, Mining), inferior weapons, & they physically stood out. Unlike Serfs, the 'Indios' couldn't blend in. They also out numbered the Europeans... Making them 'The Adversary', was a No Brainer.

Black People have been globally oppressed for Centuries. The Colonial Powers tell them to 'Get over it, that was a Long Time ago!' [So called] Arabs (Seljuk Turks), don't even acknowledge their role in the East Afrikan Slave Trade- creating the divide between Northern & Sub Saharan Afrika. The advent of the 'Arab Spring', & the recent Splitting of Sudan, is proof that it continues, over 1,000 Yrs later... European Jews either deny, or outright challenge the role their descendants played in Chattel Slavery; the mere insinuation brings calls of antisemitism(?!)

If the 'Black World' saw real, concrete Social Change, moving forward may be possible. Unfortunately, the Oppression has not ended; rather, it has become more refined. In recent years, Racial Bigotry has become more overt. So called 'Honorary Whites', or People of Color are back to taking their [cheap] shots @ Black People. These Groups are now looking for their turn to exploit the Resources of Black Nations. There is a rise of 'monkey business', traditionally associated w/ Classic Populism.

If We express a need for a discussion on Race, White Supremacists & their protagonists are quick to point out Black on Black Crime Stats. The implication, is that Black America needs to 'Clean its Own House', before passing blame. Putting aside my knee jerk urge to report White on White Crime Stats; instead, I ask: Have Conservatives, & alt- right folk looked @ the "Why"? Do they ever delve into what causes the data tabulated in those Stats they are so quick to offer up?

Blackfolk, mostly Christian, have been indoctrinated into believing They are the 'Forgiving Race'(?). They were taught that Vengence, belongs to God. Sounds good in theory, but The Truth is, Black People are Morally Conservative. Regardless of Religious Denomination (Christian, Muslim, Israelite, ect...) We collectively want Retribution. We have been indoctrinated into believing We want 'Justice', but the Subconscious has its Own Agenda. This inner turmoil has led Black People to be patient w/ Oppressors, but combative & disrespectful w/ each other over the smallest infraction; especially Tribally.

The number of Black Men, Women, & Children that are being violated w/o reprisal, is reaching Critical Mass. Nature appears to be taking over. Wo/Man may be the 'Planetery Custodian', but KARMA is the Great Equalizer. It is a Key to Natural (Universal) Law. Even Athiests agree w/ its application in Physics. Retribution, is one of many expressions of Karma under Natural Law. It may even be argued that it is part of the Indemnification process.

Black People in America- ADOS in particular, suffer from PTSD. Some cases are more extreme than others, but most result from some instance where White Privilege was enforced & Black Excellence suppressed. 'Black Pride', is the [Self] acknowledgement & acceptance of 'Black Excellence'. An attack on Black Pride, is a direct attack on Black Excellence. Society goes to great lengths to limit the 'Pride' of Black People Globally; We see it's by Design.

Speaking of 'Design', 'The (American) Ghetto', is an example of a Socially Engineered Environment created to challenge Black Excellence. The Testing Ground for 'Materials & Methods', is called "The Project(s)". Desired outcomes Here (e.g.- broken families, drug abuse, deviant behavior), are expanded into the larger Black Community via Mainstream Media outlets... 'Black Rage', is a cumulative response. In most cases, it results from a 'last straw scenario', where Black Excellence is being stifled to some degree. In the System of Racism/ White Supremacy, Black Excellence is only acknowledged, when it's profitable to those in Power. Otherwise, it is circumvented @ All Costs.

White Guilt, is in fact that 'gut feeling' White Supremacists & their proxies (Honorary Whites) have, that they deserve whatever retribution Black America dishes out. A Realistic discussion about Reparations would go a long way toward ending this dilemma; but instead, The 'Powers that Be' work to stall the inevitable balancing of The Scales. The Tried & True method involves the Wealthy Class getting the (Mainstream) Poor & Middle Classes to rationalize why they deserve what they have. It is also rationalized that Black America has had ample time to get their Act together, why should Everyone Else suffer for their Lot?

White Indignation, is a joke. It is clearly a smokescreen used to justify Barbaric behavior generally, & the System of Racism/ White Supremacy specifically. Recent acts by proponents involve aggressive talk, that escalates to Violent acts in many cases. YouTube is full of these scenarios. What makes these people think it's okay to put their hands on Black People?... LAW ENFORCEMENT. Black Americans are 2nd Class Citizens- 1st to be roused, last to be defended.

The School Admissions Scandal involving 33 Wealthy Families bribing their children's way into Prestigious Universities, is just the latest violation. Lori Loughlin & Felicity Huffman have become The (Current) Faces of White Privilege & 'Above The Law' behavior. Both Women have been arrested, but no mugshot has been televised. While Black Women have served Prison Time for daring to get their children into better Elementary School Districts, these 'Women of Privilege' will probably get reduced Sentences, Probation, & Community Service.

This leads to Affirmative Action Programs that have been decimated over the last 20yrs. Conservatives argued that 'Quotas' weren't fair; even though White Women were the biggest recipient of Affirmative Action Benefits. A Program that was Specifically Designed to grant Black America ACCESS, was circumvented, & transformed into 'Diversity Initiatives'. Front & Center, was The Woman's Initiative. To see White Women accused of cheating a System that they have benefited from- to the perpetual chagrin of Black America, only proves how stacked The Deck really is.

A lot of effort has been devoted to making Black People feel inferior. If an individual or group is 'below the curve', don't we usually offer a helping hand? Don't we try to improve their Lot? What does it say about a Group that:

Excels in Every Endeavor that they are allowed to participate in?

Made contributions in EVERY FIELD from Agriculture to Astrophysics?

Sets the World Standard in Culture, Fashion, Sports & Music?

What do you do, when you see This Group's contributions being appropriated by The World, getting little Credit, & even less Respect? We know there is a contingent looking to instigate an eruption of Black Rage; intent on using it as an excuse for the Wholesale Murder of Black People... What does it say about those who remain silent?

Is there really a problem w/ the Black & Asian Community?

The rise in Anti- Asian sentiment has reached Critical Mass. Mainstream Media has reported on these attacks over the last Year, but despite the overwhelming number of incidents perpetrated by White Men, The Media is pushing a narrative of Asian bias in the Black Community. Networks like ABC have been less than honest w/ their reporting. Black Media has uncovered inconsistencies in these 'Reports'. They range from incomplete narratives & naming the same victim in multiple Events, to using old footage (i.e. 1992 L.A. Riots) in an effort to present Black America as the source of Anti- Asian attacks.

The Black individuals that have been accused [for the most part] appear mentally ill & homeless, but there has been no mention of this. Meanwhile, stories of White Men violently beating & killing their Asian partners are put in the back of newspapers. I don't understand where the notion of Blackfolk targeting Asianfolk comes from. Celebrities from Daniel Dae Kim to Juju Chang, have implied that Black America needs to do more about Anti Asian bias. It was also implied that Asian families are starting to have 'The Talk' w/ their children about how to interact w/ Us. As a Black American, I am insulted by this.

I think that we can agree that Nothing is absolute. No Ethnic Group is monolithic, but most follow a Collective Consciousness. Looking @ the Asian & Black 'Collective', both groups have very little contact w/ each other. In fact, the only [regular] contact that Blackfolk have w/ Asians, is when we shop in their stores. Asian Shop Owners are given opportunities in Black Communities that Black Business Owners were denied.

Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese & East Indian/ Pakistani/ Bangladeshi Shop Owners collectively make Billions from Black customers. Most express a clear disdain for Us. They perform transactions stonefaced, w/ no kind words or pleasantry. Nail Salon & Beauty Supply Owners are notorious for using Black racial slurs in their native tongue. It's a One Way Street. While the Black Community supports Asian businesses, Asians do not support Black Business- They circumvent them.

They come into Our Communities w/ cameras, snapping pictures of existing businesses, then copy Business Models that can be appropriated. This has gone on for decades. Markets, 'Dollar' Stores, Restaurants, Laundromats, & Dry Cleaners have shifted from Black to Asian Owned. Today, Asians have cornered the Black Hair Care Market. Black Owned Beauty Supply Stores have endured Anti- Black bias from Asian Wholesalers, intent on limiting the level of competition Black Shops bring to Asian Shops.

Black America took note of All of This. We thought that patronizing these businesses was a show of Solidarity. Black Liberation Leaders of the last generation adopted Communism, & studied the philosophies of Mao Tse Tung (Zedong) & Ho Chi Minh. We identified w/ their struggle. Children of Generation X & Y grew up on Kung Fu Movies; many of Us studied T'ai Chi, Karate, Kung Fu, or Tae Kwon Do. We studied 'The Art of War', 'The I- Ching', & Taoism. We have a deep respect for Asian Culture. Japanese 'B-Boys' were accepted into HipHop Culture as Family. We were living in The Spirit of the Badung Conference.

Anti- Black bias in the Asian Community used to be a Korean thing. Again, no group is monolithic, but Koreans generally believed the stories that racist U.S. Soldiers told them about Black America. They immigrated to L.A. & NYC w/ preconceived notions that set off the current tension between Our Communities. Korean Nail Salons have a history of disrespecting Black Women- verbally & physically. Any friction between Our Communities comes as a result of these acts, but No One is talking about this.

The current dilemma between Us comes from COVID Protocols practiced throughout Asia. Black America is responding to reports of Black People getting evicted from their Homes & Hotel Rooms. They are being denied service @ Shops & Restaurants, because Asians, from Korea to Indonesia believe that Blackfolk somehow are responsible for a Pandemic that originated in Wuhan. It implies that as a People, We are less than clean. The general population were already pretty callous towards Black People, but the COVID Pandemic has produced particularly Racist & xenophobic acts.

In response to the Anti- Black Racism occurring throughout Asia, Black America boycotted Asian businesses locally. The result has been a financial blow to the Asian Community. They forgot WHO pays for their McMansions, Luxury Vehicles, & Ivy League Tuitions. A year ago, Congresswoman Grace Meng pushed for an Asian Economic Relief Package to offset losses, but the Trump Administration expanded it into the 1st COVID Relief Package for ALL Americans. A year later, Black Communities nationwide are still slow to patronize these businesses. Many 'bulletproof' Chinese Take Out Restaurants remain closed, & China Towns don't have the Black consumer traffic they had in the past.

America designated Asian Americans 'Model Minorities', mainly because They don't pose a threat to White Supremacy. Today, the average Asian Household earns more than the average White Household. Yvette Carnell raised an interesting question: Does this make Asians 'White'? Most are 1st generation Americans, & only a handful of lower income families truly know poverty. White Supremacist acts tend to rise during economic recessions. Trump followers have been pretty vocal about their position in America. The fact that 1st generation Asian families are doing better than American families that have been here for several generations can't be ignored.

Pushing the Anti- Asian tag on Blackfolk is not just disingenuous, it's a cowardly act. At a time when Blackfolk are being assaulted & killed wantonly, Asians are equating those actions w/ the verbal harassment they endured over the past year. It's unacceptable behavior, but it's apples & oranges. Stranger still, is the National Stage Anti- Asian 'Bias' has gotten, while Anti- Black Racism RARELY gets called a 'Hate Crime'. George Floyd was murdered in broad daylight, & THAT wasn't enough to call his death a 'Hate Crime'.

No disrespect to the Asian Community, but this looks like a smokescreen to draw attention away from The Fact that Black America has made progress in dismantling White Supremacy & demanding Reparations for 244Yrs of Government Sanctioned anti- Black Racism. The Asian Community has gotten aggressive w/ Blackfolk over the last few weeks, but where is the Asian outrage over Asian Women brutally killed by White Men? This looks like a pattern.

Following the murders of Trayvon Martin & Tamir Rice, a series of homophobic attacks were attributed to Black Men. As BLM cut its teeth protesting the murders of Michael Brown, Freddy Grey, & Eric Garner #MeToo tried to paint a narrative of Black Male abuse of Black Women. A few years ago, as Botham Jean's murder, along w/ several 'Blackface' incidents took Center Stage, Anti- Semitic acts were being attributed to young Black Males. Today, its Anti- Asian bias.

As a Community, We are aware of CoIntelPro operations. We KNOW that some of Us are compromised into working against Our Collective 'Best Interests'. We're living in tough economic times, so Crimes of Convenience are a reality; but many of the actions attributed to Us over the past several years raises eyebrows. As Phillip Scott stated: Blackfolk don't make unlawful moves "when The Block is Hot". Why would We harass or assault [elderly] Asians, when EVERYONE is waiting for Us to do it?

Contrary to National Opinion, We're NOT that stupid. All of this paints an old narrative- that of the Black 'Super Predator'; an entity that the 1994 Crime Bill (Biden's Law) was passed to address. Putting this in context w/ Voter Restriction, & the 'Cancel Culture' tactic of blending Black American Oppression w/ the 'Struggle' of People of Color, I can't help but ask: Who's the Real Victim here? White Supremacy has tried to dirty the [global] image of Black America since our Great Grand Fathers returned home from World War 1. This simply looks like the latest effort.

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 My 2 Cents

Kim Potter can sob all she likes, it doesn't change the fact that her negligence led 2 the death of Daunte Wright. A 26Yr veteran of the Police Force, charged w/ training Officers, simply has NO EXCUSE. Blackfolk/ ADOS R all 2 familiar w/ the role that sobbing White Women, crying 'crocodile tears' played in the lynching of thousands of Black Men over the last 145Yrs. It's not hard 2 assume that Potter meant 2 shoot Daunte Wright, & screamed "Taser Taser Taser!", 2 cover her treachery... Can We FF 2 the 'Send her Evil Butt 2 Jail' Part?

-Just Askin'

This lionization of Liz Cheney is just eerie. We're talking about the daughter of Dick Cheney- the woman was practically nursed on the tit of the Military Industrial Complex. Her style of Conservatism mirrors her father's; somehow she is being framed as 'The Voice of Reason' in the GOP(?). America is supposed 2 B a Land of Choice, but both Democrats & Republicans R offering extremes as choices.

NEITHER SIDE is offering a Black Agenda, but they can somehow find consensus (i.e. $$$) on Issues affecting the Asian, Illegal Immigrant, LGBTQ..., & Native American Communities. Populist Politics has historically manifested as a 'hand out' 2 Outside Groups 4 their participation in Anti- Black Policies. This looks like more of The Same. Liz Cheney's view on Black America hasn't changed, so why should I tout her as a Patriot?

-Just Asking

Is Tyre Nichols' death a watershed moment?

The Nation is supposedly On Hold, awaiting video footage showing how 5 Memphis PD Officers brutally beat 29Yr Old Tyre Nichols. The members of the Memphis PD 'Scorpion Unit' were supposedly stopping Tyre for Reckless Driving, but how did things escalate? The Press says that Tyre initially fled The Scene, & there was an indication that he may have resisted arrest, but nothing suggests that he needed to be pepper sprayed, tased, & beaten severely. The incident took place on Jan. 7th- Tyre died from his injuries on Jan. 10th. The Family of Tyre Nichols have chosen Attorney Benjamin Crump & his Team to represent them.

I don't always agree w/ the methodology of Benjamin Crump. He frames himself like he's the Thurgood Marshall or Johnnie Cochrane of This Generation; I still haven t decided if he is. He spends as much time on his Self Image, as he does on his High Profile Cases. I can rationalize that he needs face time On Camera to boost his ability to serve his clients, but I think he goes a bit too far. Who named Ben Crump: 'The Attorney General Of Black America'? It's framing like This, that leads me to call the man: Benjamin 'Buttah Biscuits'... To be fair, Crump has won some monetary awards for his clients, but we're still waiting to see the Outcome of several Police Trials.

Regardless of my critique of Ben Crump, I agree 100% w/ his Press Conference Commentary. He pointed out how these Officers were fired & arrested on Murder Charges in less than 3 Weeks. Is it because all 5 of the Officers are Black Men? We have seen Black Officers, like Muhammad Noor get convicted for incidents that Non Black Officers get acquitted. Crump is correct, when he says that this should be the blueprint for All Police Involved Incidents. It doesn't matter what Sex, Race or Ethnicity the Officer is, it's pretty clear that this is about Police Culture.

According to a Statement from the Memphis Police Department: Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr., & Justin Smith have violated multiple Department Policies, including Excessive use of Force, Duty to Intervene, & Duty to Render Aid. While Black America applauds the expedience of the MPD, We also question why it doesn't happen so quickly when the Officer isn't Black. As a Community, We have serious questions for these 5 Men. Some of Us want to 'Check their Paperwork'. Contrary to the National Conversation, Blackfolk don't go after each other like this. Certainly not Black Cops. This is why most of Us are talking about Police Culture.

Tyre's brutal murder, is an example of why Critical Race Theory can be a valuable tool. If We follow the basic model, which is a History of Race Relations in America, We see how Police Departments play an important role of maintaining the Institutionalized Racism in American Society. We're told that Police are here to Protect & Serve, but they leave out how that is limited to Corporate Property & Interests. The Police Force comes out of the Slave Patrols, who 'protected' the interests of Plantation & Business Owners. As German, Scottish, & Irish Immigrants appeared, they were given jobs 'regulating' the Black Population- Free & Enslaved.

As Cities grew & Police Departments were established, the protocol remained the same; Protect Corporate Interests, & regulate the Black Community. This was a National Effort. As cruel as the White (WASP) Officers were, immigrants always tended to take Anti- Black actions further. It's like they were trying to prove to Mainstream Society how much they belonged. Irish, Italian, & now, Hispanic Officers are generally more aggressive w/ Black 'Persons Of Interest'- that's just a fact. Black America has complained about this 'Police Culture' for over 100Yrs, but have just gained ground in recent years. The difference between Justice for Mitrice Richardson & Sandra Bland, compared to Atatiana Jefferson has been encouraging.

Qualified Immunity has been a literal 'Get Out Of Jail Free' Card for Police Officers. Recent Police convictions have shown that this may be a thing of the past. Despite a few hard won convictions, the legal road getting there has been a long & drawn out one. Many have accused the various Police Unions, DA Offices, & Judges of collusion. They're collectively kicking The Can down The Road; hopeful that The Public will lose interest & eventually forget the incident in question. The actions taken by the MPD, following the brutality of their Officers is worth noting. Tyre Nichols isn't the 1st Black Man to get beat by a gang of Police Officers; Rodney King (RIP) was beat in front of The World 30Yrs ago.

Some may try to focus on the actions of 'Black' Officers, but this behavior happens against Blackfolk in Every City & w/ Officers of Every Ethnic Group. As I said earlier, it's a Culture. What's different about This Instance, is the fact that ALL of the assailants are Black Officers. The City of Memphis is probably still feeling the reverberations of Breonna Taylor's murder in Louisville; I doubt they want Blackfolk to bring that level of Energy there. Cutting their losses is a no brainer. They will likely face an expensive lawsuit from Benjamin Buttah Biscuits; no sense in adding a Riot to an Embarrassment.

I see The City Of Memphis offering up these 5 Bullies, w/ the hope that it will quell a still simmering undercurrent supporting Independent Police Investigations. Defund The Police rhetoric has quieted, but every new incident brings talk about restricting Police 'Street Crime Units', along w/ the equipment & tactics used. Family Attorney Antonio Romanucci hit the Nail on the Head, when he called Street Crime Units, like the MPD's Scorpion Unit 'Suppression Units'. Those of Us that live in 'Inner Cities' understand the reality of these Units patrolling Our Neighborhoods like Military Troops stationed in Iraq or Afghanistan.

I don't expect alot of hoopla coming out of Memphis. Blackfolk see tangible results, so we're willing to see what develops. What We do expect, is for future Events (that WILL happen) to move w/ the same expediency. The World will see yet another instance of Police involved Anti- Black Racism in America; i'm pretty sure many have also heard Ben Crump's suggestion about a blueprint. Moving forward, if the Legal System treats Non Black Officers differently than these 5 Officers in Memphis, all the rhetoric that the Department Of Justice can muster will not get the racist stench out of the Courts.

Biden's State Of The Union: a bridge to bipartisanship?

Joe Biden's 2nd State Of The Union Address seemed to be about checking boxes. 1st, Biden attempted to check the 'Fit for Duty' box. He appeared to be his snarky self, channeling the old persona of Blue Collar 'Joe from Scranton'. He took a few jabs @ Republicans, starting w/ his introduction of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. He also instigated a kerfuffle w/ Marjorie Taylor Greene & others over Social Security & Medicare. Throughout his address, Biden tried to emote the swagger of that Senator from Delaware, who had the ear of Reagan, Bush, & Gingrich.

In his Address, Biden said that America is about 'possibilities'. He touted the accomplishments of his Administration over last 2Yrs, & made his pitch for Congress to finish what he started. Joe Biden ran on a platform of bipartisanship; to back this up, he touted 300 Bipartisan Bills passed since he took Office. He expressed his plan to 'Restore The Soul of America', starting w/ The Middle Class. He spoke of building an economy from the bottom up, & the middle out. Like Donald Trump, he supports a Made In America Campaign where Our supply chain begins @ Home.

The Star of the 'Made In America' Campaign, is 'The Chips & Sciences Act'. Biden touts how it will create hundreds of thousands of 6 figure income jobs, that WILL NOT require a College Degree. The expectation is that these Chip Production Sites will bolster & hopefully restore the Communities around them. Presently, the National Unemployment Rate is @ 3.4%- a 50Yr low; this (supposedly) includes lows for Black & Latino Communities. On top of recent job growth #s, Biden also touted 10 million New Business Applications.

He pointed out how 30 million Employees have to sign Non Compete Agreements, & how Workers deserve 'Dignity @ Work' that gives them a Right to a Living Wage, Affordable Housing, & Affordable Child Care. Biden took a couple of jabs @ Republicans, while speaking on the Debt Ceiling. Speaker McCarthy already appeared on News Shows to say that he supports taking Social Security & Medicare off the Table; why did Joe Biden linger on the subject? McCarthy can do his own wrangling.

The Biden Administration were the 1st to say their Fiscal Budget is non-negotiable; how can they fault Republicans for crying foul? Ultimately, Biden agreed to compare Plans. His Plan for Restructuring the Tax Code entails no Tax Increase for families making below $400K, a Billionaire's Minimum Tax of 15%, & quadrupling Corporate Buy Back Stock Fees. Biden touted how his Administration reduced the Deficit by $1.7T, & how Programs like the 'Junk Fee Prevention Act' will spur economic growth.

The subject of Infrastructure gave Joe Biden another opportunity to take a jab @ Republicans. He remarked how Red States will get Projects earmarked, just like Blue States. Members Of Congress may not have voted for his Infrastructure Plan, but 'i'll see ya at the Groundbreaking'. Under this plan, Biden highlighted:

Bridges, Tunnels & Roads

Lead Pipe Removal

Affordable High Speed Internet for All Americans

ALL Construction Materials used for infrastructure must be Made In America

Biden's 'Inflation Reduction Act', is basically a Plan to use restructuring the Tax Code as an excuse to reform Prescription Drugs & Climate Change initiatives. No one (in their right mind) disagrees w/ $35 Insulin, Fentanyl Prevention, or Clean Water efforts; that said, politicians have been slow to act on these measures. The manufacturing angle of this Act sounds promising, as it rewards Companies for buying American made components for their operation. Education, Immigration/ Border Security, & COVID Protocols rounded out the balance of Biden's State Of The Union Address.

Biden stressed the need for quality Public Education for grades Pre-K through 12. He also expressed a need for access to Local/ Community Colleges, & College Debt Reduction. He split COVID fallout into 2 categories: Economic Fallout & Public Safety Concerns. Under Economic Fallout, Biden reiterates his Made In America Agenda to bolster job growth. He again touts Job Growth #s as an indicator that America is getting back to business; pointing out how We are outperforming the rest of The World.

Under Public Safety Concerns, Biden spotlights the family of Tyre Nichols. He goes on to speak about the need for better Police Training/ Reform, more Community Programs, & Gun Reform. He talks about 'Brown & Black' families having 'The Talk', but I don't know of ANY 'Brown families' having that 'Talk'. Joe Biden's ease @ changing 'Black American Struggle' into 'Black & Brown Issues' is becoming an Art. His short memory is already legendary. He speaks about implementing Community Programs, but he was an architect of Benign Neglect Policy that eliminated these Community Programs over 40Yrs ago.

I found it ironic how Joe Biden could invite Tyre Nichols' family to The State Of The Union Address, but didn't mention the George Floyd Justice In Policing Act. He spoke about funding for better Police training, but the combined budgets of the Nation's Largest Police Departments likely rivals the Defense Budgets of NATO Countries. There's already enough $$$ being spent on training. Why is training not a factor when Police are somehow able to apprehend armed White assailants w/ little incident? It was interesting to watch both Sides of the Aisle show sympathy for Tyre Nichols' Mother in one moment, & applaud an increase of Police Budgets in the next. I made note of the CBC Members that applauded.

Gun Reform, like Abortion, is an ongoing issue. The REAL problem, is how to restrict Blackfolk, while respecting everyone else's 2nd Amendment Right. Gun Control wasn't an Issue, until The Black Panther Party protested in Sacramento nearly 60Yrs ago. White Americans have an Inalienable Right to bear Arms, & always will. Gun Control is not a real thing; Society needs the same personality types that are misbehaving w/ firearms to protect them from 'The Big Black Boogeyman'... It's a strange dance.

On the subject of the Southern Border & Immigration Reform, Biden spoke about resources for Border Control, & a pathway to Citizenship for Migrant Workers & Children of Illegal Immigrants. Border States have been literally begging for help; the Texas Governor has been busing Illegal Immigrants to Northern Cities for months. A bus went to Kamala Harris' residence, so The White House had to know things were critical on The Border. It is estimated that over 2 million Illegal Immigrants have entered America on Biden's Watch; not counting tens of thousands of Ukrainians & Afghans entering from Tijuana. How was Barack Obama able to keep Border Crossings low, while Joe Biden seems overwhelmed?

Biden's International focus was on Ukraine & China. According to him, Ukraine is fighting against 'Putin's Tyranny', & We as Americans, should do everything possible to support their fight for freedom. I would personally like an accounting of what 'We' gave, & where it went. Redacted has reported on Al Qaeda & ISIS Soldiers being paid $2,500/ Week to fight w/ Ukraine- is this true? What are Our Tax dollars paying for? Redacted, The Grey Zone, & Jimmy Dore have all talked about high level theft of funds & Black Market activity in Ukraine.

On the issue of China, Biden said that We seek Competition, not Conflict. The U.S. helped China rise- from a 3rd World Nation, to a legitimate World Economic Power in under 50Yrs. America's ongoing meddling in Hong Kong, along w/ rising tension in Taiwan has apparently struck a nerve in Beijing. The recent drama of balloons violating U.S. Airspace are merely another round in a Marathon Dance Competition. America's dependence on China for basic Staples, is the Real Issue.

According 2 Biden, we're in Our strongest position to compete w/ China, & Anyone else. We will work w/ China, but WILL defend Our Sovereignty. He went on to say how No other World Leader wants to trade places w/ President Xi, going against America. Biden ultimately says that The State Of The Union is Excellent. He emphasizes a Nation built on ideals, not geography, collectively working together- sounds promising. Gov. Sarah Huckabee- Sanders delivered The GOP Response, & didn't waste time picking Biden apart.

According to Gov. Huckabee- Sanders, Joe Biden inherited:

The fastest economic recovery On Record.

The most secure Border in History

Cheap, abundant 'home grown' Energy

Fast rising Wages

A rebuilt Military

A World that was stable & @ peace.

Over the last 2Yrs, Joe Biden & The Democrats have spent Trillions in reckless spending, while creating the worst Border Crisis in History. 100,000 Americans are dying from drug overdoses annually- mainly fentanyl. Domestically, criminals roam free, while Internationally, We have been unable to stand up to China... Joe Biden has been unwilling to protect Our Border, Sky, & Our People- he is not fit to serve as Commander In Chief. She deadpans that Biden is caught up in 'Wokeism'.

Huckabee- Sanders goes on to repeat several GOP talking points that date back to Newt Gingrich's 'Contract w/ America'. She says that giving every child access to quality education is the civil rights issue of today. To that end, she proposes an 'Educate, not Indoctrinate' Agenda, that eliminates Critical Race Theory (CRT), & use of the label 'Latinx'. She closes by saying that America is Free, but this Freedom is under attack & America is in danger. The Biden Administration has failed Us, but the GOP has America's future in mind. They are still the place where Freedom reigns & Liberty never dies.

Clearly, Gov. Huckabee- Sanders is towing the Party Line. As Biden tried to build himself up as a virile, stable, & capable Leader, Huckabee Sanders tried to paint a picture of someone old, feeble, & out of touch. The GOP sees Biden as Dems saw Ronald Reagan. The Country was literally more 'Black & White' back then, so Reagan was able to get away w/ more than Biden can. As for 'The Future', how can Republicans truly believe this, when their base is quickly becoming a Minority?

All of this plays into an ongoing narrative, where Democrats & Republicans take turns assuming Leadership. In theory, One leans Left, & the Other leans Right. In practice, Both Sides find consensus on issues that promote the continuance of White Supremacist Policy, by way of Institutionalized Systemic Racism. Minority Groups understand & accept AmeriKKKa's 'pecking order', in return for resources & privilege. The GOP tend to use 'Non- Racial' language to filter out Black America, while Democrats use 'Liberal- Progressive' language to do the same. Both depend on Black America's sense of 'fair play', & equality for Everyone.

As ADOS, We rationalize why a Group should get resources ahead of Us, while Everyone Else behaves like they have some inherent Right to be ahead of Us. We know that some Immigrants & Minority Groups have prejudices against Black Americans; Joe Biden's lack of concern for 'Black specific Policy' in effect, tells them that they're justified in their thinking. If he doesn't care, why should they? To them, America is a 'Grab Bag'. When you consider the fact that Joe Biden showed more concern for Migrant Workers, than taxpaying Black Farmers who have been victimized & oppressed for generations, it's pretty easy to see how his State Of The Union Address condones an Anti Black Agenda- I call it: Benign Neglect 2.0

-Just My 2 Cents

Is Scott Adams an exception, or The Rule?

The hoopla over 'Dilbert' Creator, Scott Adams, is a classic example of 'White Fragility' in a Real Life situation. He (sarcastically) claimed that he 'identified as Black' (because he wanted to be on 'The Winning Team'), & supported Black Causes for years. Suddenly, a Rasmussen Reports survey on 'Whiteness' got him so worked up, that he now reidentifies as White. On top of that, he now says that 1/2 of Black America is a Racist Hate Group. His claim is based on the survey results to the question: 'Is it okay to be White?'

According to the Report, 53% of Black respondents answered 'Yes'. Adams is reported to have gone on an Anti- Black racist rant during the airing of his podcast- 'Morning Coffee w/ Scott Adams'. During his 'rant', Adams suggested staying the hell away from Black America, because 'it can't be fixed'. Keep in mind that his comments are based on the survey results of a right winged conservative Organization. The question itself is Open Ended, & necessitates additional probing. The response to Adams' comments has been swift & decisive. Hundreds of News Publications have cancelled 'Dilbert'.

So far, Adams is standing behind his comments. He acknowledges that he is likely Cancelled, saying 'you can't come back from this'. I'm not sure how much he really cares about cancellation, being 64Yrs Old & having a net worth of $70M... Regarding his comments, Adams says that he wasn't being emotional. He said that his words had context, & so far, No One has disagreed w/ him. I appreciate his honesty. I think his rush to judgement was sincere & should be taken at face value. If I were to interview Scott Adams, I would ask: Did he take the 'context' of the 47% into consideration? What motivated their response? 26% answered 'No' & 21% 'Not Sure'- did Adams consider why?

As someone who supposedly 'identified as Black', I would've expected him to pause. Maybe take a moment to ascertain the reasons 47% of Black respondents may not think of 'Whiteness' as a good thing. Instead, he deadpanned that those respondents represent a 'Racist Hate Group'. Then he says that he doesn't want anything to do w/ them, & suggests that All Whitefolk do the same. Judging from his 'racist rant', it sounds like Scott Adams was being less than facetious about his identification w/ Blackfolk. What I did hear in his comments, was the use of Black people, like Don Lemon, to support his racist actions.

His comments aren't unique. Marjorie Taylor Greene's recent demand for a 'Secession' of Red & Blue States; due to rampant Wokeness & Biden's failure to 'Make America Great', is a similar sentiment. Add to that, Ben Stein's lamentation over 'Aunt Jermaima' syrup, along w/ Elon Musk's comments in support of Scott Adams, & a pretty easy connection can be made. These are the thoughts of The Silent Majority. Their collective fear of Black Expression goes back 50Yrs. They tend to come from 'Middle America' or 'Flyover States', but they generally represent White Families that migrated to Suburbia (White Flight). 'Dilbert', is basically a chronicle of individuals from this background, so I wouldn't be surprised if Adams isn't alone in his sentiment.

What I found intriguing about Scott Adams' comments, was his tonality. He wasn't ranting to me. He was clear & concise in his deduction & conclusion. What stands out, is how easy it was for Scott Adams to discard the 53% of Blackfolk that felt that it was 'Ok to be 'White'. Why didn't he consider working w/ that group, while changing hearts & minds of the Other? Instead, he threw Everyone into the same 'Racist Hate Group' pot, & concluded that 'it can't be fixed'. I'm immediately reminded of those Black Veterans that faced angry White Mobs in full uniform, & saluting... I imagine they were of that 53%.

Our Ancestors were morally upright, & idealistic, but were naive. They actually believed that The American Dream applied to them. It's clear that it didn't. Recent comments prove that it still doesn't. There is a direct correlation between the increase in discussions regarding National Reparations for American Descendants Of Chattal Slavery (ADOS), & the cries of Anti- White Racism, Wokeism, & the Bringing down of America. The Biden Administration has spent $113B in Ukraine over the last 12 months, w/ billions more promised; but Flint, Detroit, & now Jackson are forced to wait for Water Filtration Systems. East Palestine however, is an 'All hands On Deck' scenario... America's priorities are brutally clear.

Elon Musk's assertion that Mainstream Media is Anti- White & Anti- Asian, is confusing, when we consider the fact that Asian Americans are the wealthiest demographic in America. As a White Man & an immigrant, Elon (The Afrikaner) Musk has outpaced EVERY Black American financially, so We fail to see the 'racism'. What Adams,Musk, Stein, & Taylor- Greene all have in common, is a fear of an inevitable 'Leveling of The Playing Field'. America, as an Institution (Columbia), has perpetually propped up Whites & Honorary Whites in a position of dominion over Black America. Clear examples can be seen from The Homestead Acts to The New Deal.

White Supremacy dictates survival of the fittest, but Poor Whites are assured Living Wages, or Federal Assistance (in worse case scenarios) to maintain a lifestyle above the 'average Black family', in return for their participation in America's collective Anti- Black agenda. Small wonder how the most brutal Anti- Black attacks occur in Poor White areas. As I said numerous times before, NOTHING IS ABSOLUTE. There were Allies in the past, & there are Allies now. Unfortunately, their number has dropped over the last 50Yrs. Hard Times makes scapegoating easy. Groups that might have been indifferent to an issue, may be motivated into taking a side.

This is the Case of America over the last 50Yrs. When Working Class Black & White Americans were feeding their families & living their lives, both Communities prospered. As Benign Neglect hit Black Communities, Factory Closings hit White Communities. The American Institution once again bailed White America out, by extending Credit Lines (MasterCard, Visa) & Bankruptcy Law to individuals; allowing them to offset current debt. Few Black Americans were able to take advantage of this. In addition, White Families were given the opportunity to refinance their homes, while Black Families were largely denied. As White Families struggled, it's understandable how Self Preservation can kick in. They can't really emphathize w/ another's Struggle, when they're going through their Own.

That said, this group took the Reagan narrative of ''Black Welfare Mothers' & 'Black Male Degenerates' & ran w/ it. They raised their children on it, Educational Systems taught it in Schools & Citizenship Classes. Meanwhile, some White Teens & Young Adults 'Raged Against The Machine', & developed a love affair w/ HipHop- that continues today. Despite this, a good number of Today's Parents still hold the values of their upbringing. The Age of Political Correctness stalled a lot of tongues, but a collective frustration w/ Quality of Life is motivating them to speak frankly. Again, I welcome it.

Regardless of their Economic or Political Standing, Whitefolk that express a problem w/ Black America collectively, are using some variation of the Segregationist Era 'Fear Of Black Rule' argument. This rhetoric goes back to Reconstruction, when the Post Slavery Era saw the largest & fastest expansion of ANY GROUP in American History. The number of Black Landowners, Businessmen, & Politicians that rose to prominence from 1865- 1875 scared Whitefolk. The result was the rise of The KKK & Daughters Of The Confederacy, along w/ Black Codes; that stalled Black progressive efforts, while terrorizing Black Citizens under Local & State Law.

All of the individuals mentioned express some impending threat of Black 'Rage' & Violence. Meanwhile, Police Officers & Anti- Black Racist 'Vigilantes' are allowed to assault and kill Black Men & Women wantonly, and w/ impunity. This is by virtue of the Collective Silence of Mainstream America. It is especially important to take note of this, as America cultivates roughly 2 Million illegal immigrants, 100,000 Afgans, & 100,000 Ukrainians- All of whom identify as 'White'. As an Indigenous Black American, I sense a Lesson In American Protocol being taught: How to Engage Black America 101. Meanwhile, NO ONE of Any Ethnic Group can tell you about a Time when 'Black American Hegemony' ravished their Community, Town, or City...

These passive aggressive Anti- Black Racist types are a funny breed. They talk ad naseum about why they should be separate from Black America; but despite being far removed from ANY Black person, these people still can't seem to leave Us alone... Makes me question What Scott Adams & Co. are REALLY afraid of.

So 'Jim Crow' Joe Biden can produce tangible legislation 4 Asian- Americans, European Jews, Illegal Immigrants, Latinx, LGBTQ..., Native Americans, & White Women; but all he can say about Black America, is his 'Child Tax Credit' Program has reduced poverty in Black Communities(?) Seriously though! What is 'Black specific' about that legislation? Isn't that a Program that All Americans w/ children benefit from? Dude sounds like he's still sitting @ the feet of Strum Thurman & Robert Eastland. Even LBJ understood that he had 2 give Black America 'The Basics'.

-Just Saying

Carolyn Bryant- Donham: Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!

Mainstream Media was quick to announce the death of Carolyn Bryant @ 88Yrs Old, but many kept their storylines short & sweet. Another Day in The Life, under the Biden Administration. Bryant reportedly died in hospice care in Westlake, Louisiana. Details were not given by the Coroner of cause of Death, but Bryant's battle w/ Cancer was not exactly a secret. New Black Media has reported in recent Yrs on how she was initially in Raleigh- Durham, North Carolina, before being moved to Kentucky, & later Louisiana.

Back in June 2022, members of Emmett Till's family discovered an Arrest Warrant issued for 'Mrs Roy Bryant', among Records @ the Lefore County Courthouse in Mississippi. The warrant was issued back in 1955, citing the charge of Kidnapping; but it was never served. The Till Family attempted to reissue that warrant, citing Carolyn Bryant's [recent] admission of perjury in the Trial of Emmett Till's brutal murder. In her 2017 interview w/ Dr. Timothy Tyson, Bryant allegedly admitted to lying on The Stand.

Unfortunately, Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch didn't think the case presented any new evidence, & in Aug. 2022, The Grand Jury declined to indict Bryant. As recently as Feb. 7th 2023, Emmett Till's cousin, Priscilla Sterling tried to compel Lefore County Sheriff Ricky Banks to reissue the warrant on Carolyn Bryant; but as of April 13th, she was informed that there was 'no point' in reissuing the warrant, since the Grand Jury declined last August.

Some lament missing the opportunity to send Carolyn Bryant- Donham to Prison. She lived a full life, while Emmett's life was brutally ended before it truly began. Bryant lived in anonymity for decades, until The New Black Panther Party & other Activists began showing up @ her addresses in North Carolina & Kentucky- to issue an 'Unofficial Warrant for her Arrest'. Some complained that Blackfolk were terrorizing an 'Old Lady', but no one says anything, when Nazi Hunters take individuals in their Nineties to justice.

The whole Emmett Till 'Tragedy' revolves around the Culture of protecting a White Woman's 'Honor'- whether she's worthy or not. Emmett Till & Carolyn Bryant are the only ones who know what really happened on Aug. 24th, 1955. According to Emmett's cousins, he was in the Store for a minute before they entered; they didn't know if he knew how to 'act' around a White Woman. From what they saw, Emmett didn't say or do anything threatening; they admit to hearing him whistle @ her. Carolyn Bryant initially concurred, but in Court, she recounted a different story.

In her Court Testimony, Bryant recounted how (14Yr Old) Emmett "put his left hand on my waist, and he put his other hand on the other side." When she rebuffed him, he replied: "What's the matter baby? Can't you take it?" She went on to say that Emmett uttered obscenities that she refused to repeat in Court, but related to his sexual prowess w/ White Women. According to Press Reports, Bryant gave the [unmistakable] impression of being afraid that Emmett might rape her. The Jury took about an hour to deliberate; the Foreman said that it would've been shorter, but they decided on having a [Soda] Pop.

In his 2017 interview, Dr. Tyson says that Carolyn Bryant- Donham told him that her testimony about Emmett grabbing her & uttering obscenities was 'not true'. Unfortunately, his recording of that interview was not enough to change the Grand Jury's opinion about reissuing the 1955 Arrest Warrant. For the most part, The State of Mississippi & The Federal Government were more concerned about the welfare of Carolyn Bryant, than the Family of Emmett Till. The Press described her as a former Beauty Queen that was raised in Poverty, w/ little Education or 'Knowledge of The World'... She was a product of her environment.

Following her death, Dr. Tyson wrote that 'Carolyn Bryant's precise role in the murder of Emmett Till remains murky, but it's clear that she was involved.' It appears that Bryant was in the car when her husband abducted Emmett; she pointed him out. By the time they reached the Store to drop her off, Dr. Tyson says that Bryant may have learned Emmett's fate, & was now saying that he wasn't the boy. In her interview, Bryant says that Emmett didn't do anything that warranted what was done to him. It appears that Emmett's Big Crime, was putting money in Carolyn Bryant's hand, & not on the counter.

Dr. Tyson speaks on how American Society views the Emmett Till Lynching as a story of 'Monsters', including Bryant. Professor Black Truth often speaks about how [White] Society operates on Moral Relativity & Situational Ethics. Applying them here, we can easily see how Dr. Tyson concludes that Society finds it easier to condemn Carolyn Bryant- Donham's actions, than confronting what America is. It's a big reason why both Democrats & Republicans have problems w/ Critical Race Theory (CRT).

For all of the aid & comfort that The State of Mississippi provided Carolyn Bryant- Donham, I can't stop thinking about Emmett... What was that 14Yr Old boy thinking when those grown White Men took him out of his family's house? Took him to that barn where they beat him mercilessly, shot him in the head, tied him to a 70lb Cotton Gin Wheel, & dumped his body into the river... As bad as that Jet Magazine Cover of Emmett's face looked, I can't get past the sheer TERROR he must have felt being alone, in the presence of Pure Evil.

I personally hope that Carolyn Bryant- Donham gets the Full Tour of 'Dante's Hell'... I'll even cover the tribute to Cerberus.

A thought about 'Minority Groups'

As I said in previous Essays- while (Indigenous) Black Americans continue to get lip service & empty tributes, i'm looking at WHO is getting WHAT. There has been a lot of activity under The Biden Administration, & I found myself looking at these events from an abstract perspective. 'Jim Crow' Joe said that he appreciated Black America 'having His back' throughout the years, & he would have Ours. Since that statement, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Latinx (Citizens & Illegals), LGBTQ..., have All received legislation & funding. On top of the $113 Billion spent in Ukraine over the last Year, Israel continues to receive Billions annually from The U.S. Now provisions have been made for 100,000 Afghani & 100,000 Ukrainian refugees to relocate to America.

We Black Americans/ ADOS/ FBA/ Freemen/ Indigenous Americans can be a well intentioned, but socially naive group. The efforts of White Supremacists w/i Local, State, & Federal Government Agencies to systemically oppress Our Community has created a 'Collective Consciousness' that empathizes (abstractly) w/ the oppression of other Ethnicities. We can identify w/ the hardship of Others, & when possible, We do what We can to combat that hardship. We fought against the oppression of American Slave Codes, Black Codes, & Jim Crow Laws; simultaneously, We fought for The Rights of Irish, Chinese, Mexican, Jewish, Italian, Haitian, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Panamanian, Filipino, & Japanese immigrants that faced a measure of the oppression We experienced here.

Looking at this 'Collective Consciousness' historically, a Pattern can be seen over the centuries. Every Immigrant Group in America has gone through a 'Hazing Period', where they are the target of Social Bias & Prejudice. During this 'Social Phase', newcomers tend to identify w/ the Black Americans that they are in contact w/. We encircle these people w/i Our Community, & take the lead in protesting injustices against them. In the past, 'Brownfolk' tended to identify w/ Us. We shared Culture & Traditions; in some instances, we intermarried. In this Era, things have changed. If Black Immigrants & 'Brownfolk' start off in Black Communities, they don't always stay.

By the 2nd Generation, their children either identify w/ The Black Experience in America, or they make every effort to move away from it. Ethnic Enclaves have literally 'popped up' outside of Black Communities over the last 30Yrs, creating true Buffer Zones between Black & White Communities. Black America was oblivious to any possible agenda amongst Minority Groups- We also identified as Minorities, & assumed We were all in the same boat. Black Power isn't a selfish endeavor- Our Right of Autonomy grants other Minorities the same Right. American History substantiates this truth. To be honest, We were naively ignorant about the 'Culture' of these Minority Groups in their Native Land. We assumed they shared a similar experience of White Supremacy.

We knew about the Racism in Europe, but were unaware of the Tribalism that existed in Afrika & The Caribbean; or the Colorism that exists in Arabia, Asia, & Latin America. Many of the minorities that We had 'First Contact' w/, were friendly. As a Marginalized People, they had something in common w/ Us. We collaborated in business & in Social Action. We shared Our Community, & worked together to improve Our collective Quality of Life. We thought that We were united in the fight against White Supremacy. Then a funny thing happened- one by one, these 'Marginalized Groups' were accepted into Society, & given Rights & Privileges that We were (still) denied.

Over the Centuries, We watched- as Irish, Jewish & Italian neighbors elevated their status. The more they achieved, the more distance they placed between Us. Collectively, each group became increasingly intolerant of Blackfolk. They began to speak the Anti- Black rhetoric of Mainstream America. Our old neighbors appeared to 'pledge allegiance' to the same people that discriminated against them. Black Americans were now victims of mob violence, stemming from (perceived) competition that Irish & Italians had w/ Black Men for Jobs. The Irish in particular, were brutal in their efforts to push Black Men out of specific Trades & Sports. The only reminder of Black involvement in Horse Racing, are 'Lawn Jockeys', that many Black People see as racist. 150Yrs- 200Yrs ago, Black Jockeys dominated Horse Racing.

As disappointed as We were w/ the actions of the Irish, Italians, & Eastern Europeans, the current Anti- Black American sentiment held by today's 'Minority Groups' (POC), truly stings! We can't say that We didn't see it coming though. Many (Indigenous) Black Americans have an experience of being 'in the company' of a given Minority Group. When they are in mixed company, the conversation is civil; but when they outnumber Us, We begin to hear the stereotypes about Us. The larger the advantage, the more prejudiced the language becomes. While they may repeat White Supremacist talking points, they lack the power to truly be 'Racist'. That being said, quite a few individuals have ridden this rhetoric into Mainstream notoriety; the names represent a literal Who's Who in Pop Culture & Politics.

Collectively, these Minority Groups seem comfortable w/ their place in AmeriKKKa's Caste System, as long as they are 'positioned' above Black America... Hispanic & Asian women are currently testing the racial waters, by way of recent attempts to gauge their degree of White Privilege. Their actions legitimize the notion that White Privilege is defined by Anti- Black Racism & Oppression. The actions of these 'Karens of Color', are no different from the garden variety Karen. All of these women are trying to exercise their 'Right', but Women Of Color are also establishing their position in the Social Caste. I personally don't understand the need to gauge one's 'Power' on the ability to harass or harm what is believed to be a Soft Target. I thought that White Supremacy is a philosophy premised on strength & 'Might makes Right'- Where is the challenge?

Joe Biden's Policy actions have made clear his intention to extend White Privilege to Asians & Hispanics. Like (White) LGBTQ... individuals, & European Jews, Asians enjoy meaningful Hate Crime Legislation. Meanwhile, Black America still fights for this legislation, as the #1 Victim of Hate Crimes in America- according to the latest FBI Crime Stats. For Latinx, Biden is fast tracking Citizenship for illegal immigrants in Sanctuary Cities. Many Cities are suggesting Drivers Licenses for illegal immigrants, while California is talking about hiring non- Citizens for the LAPD & State Police. In short, 'America' has become a Multicultural & Multilingual Nation. All of this is very curious. Just a generation ago, Local, State, & Federal Officials were adamant that America is a 'Judeo- Christian' Nation that speaks 'English'. Efforts to make Spanish an Official 2nd Language were quickly shot down. 100Yrs ago, America was a 'White Man's Country!'.

Black Americans were looking for a Seat at The Table, but didn't have a problem sharing w/ Our fellow 'Minorities'. Affirmative Action was designed to level the playing field between Blackfolk & Whitefolk. It was supposed to make up for The New Deal & G.I. Bills that excluded Black Families. Despite this, We didn't complain when these resources were diverted (via Diversity Initiatives) away from Us, & given to people who NEVER had to experience what We went through. We were as compliant as Cows being bled by Vampire Bats, until We renewed the Reparations Conversation. Suddenly, We were xenophobes. The loudest voices have come from 2nd & 3rd generation Americans, who (collectively) enjoy a better Quality Of Life than the average Black American. The fact that the children of immigrants from the 1980s are now attacking Black America w/ White Supremacist talking points, is simply mindboggling!

An Ethnic Group that appears to do A LOT of 'Racial double dipping', are Hindi/ Pakistani/ Bangladeshi Americans. They are conveniently 'Black' when there is opportunity, but otherwise, they not only identify as 'White'; they subscribe to a visceral Anti- Black sentiment that needs to be addressed. This is important, because Joe Biden is putting Kamala Harris at the forefront of his Re-election Campaign. America is still calling Kamala the 1st 'Afrikan American VP', but both of her parents are Brahmin. Kamala's 'Black Experience' ends at Howard University & Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. She is otherwise an Elitist, who has a decades long resume of undermining Black Californians (Black Women in particular), & looking out for her own best interests.

Former Governor of South Carolina & U.N. Ambassador, Nikki Haley (Nimarata Nikki Randhwara- Haley), is the flip side of Kamala Harris. Both Women are Brahmin, but while Kamala is 'Asian' w/ a cultural leaning towards Black America; Nikki is 'Brown', but has consistently shown a cultural leaning towards White Privilege. Both Women highlight a simple truth- that 'Black' Issues aren't 'Brown' Issues. People Of Color (POC/ BIPOC) tend to be victims of Discrimination, more than Racism. This is evidenced by their Collective Autonomy throughout America. They have a Right of Expression that Indigenous Black Americans never truly had; not even during Reconstruction. It may be due to their sovereign status, but it's clear that they DON'T share Our plight.

Vivek Ramaswamy is yet another type. He is a 2nd Generation child of [Elitist] Asian Immigrants, but he tries to weave an Ellis Island narrative out of his experience. Like Kamala Harris & Nikki Halely, both of Ramaswamy's parents were Post Graduates w/ more education than the average [White] American Family. He gives the impression that they were Blue Collar Workers living the American Dream for their children. Ramaswamy casually speaks about his 'rough' Public School experience in Cincinnati, before going to a Private (Jesuit) School- that 'didn't conflict w/ his Hindu values'. This experience supposedly positioned him for College, Post Grad work, & starting his 1st Biotech Company... He implies that EVERYONE gets this opportunity in America.

Kamala Harris' Mother had the support of the Black Community in Oakland & Berkeley. Nikki Haley's Father had the support of (HBCU) Voorhees College, where he worked for nearly 30Yrs. Despite that support for their Parents, Nikki Haley & Kamala Harris have done NOTHING meaningful or specifically for Black Americans. In fact, both have supported measures that were detrimental to their Black Constituents; i'm reminded of The Tale of 'The Tortoise & The Scorpion'... Vivek Ramaswamy takes it up another notch. His 'Anti- Woke' Campaign, is a not too subtle Anti- Black dog whistle. Ramaswamy has the audacity to use his Experience (as a 2nd Generation Brahmin- American) to minimize, if he can't outright disclaim The Black American Experience altogether.

Vivek Ramaswamy's family has been in America for roughly 40Yrs. That means that they arrived sometime in the 1980s, nearly 20Yrs after the End of the Jim Crow Era; but Vivek feels that he can speak about the History of Anti- Black Racism in America. Ramaswamy, along w/ Harris & Haley represent the 'People Of Color' Prospects for POTUS. The similarity of their Agendas speaks volumes. All of them benefited from opportunities meant for Blackfolk, but they lecture Us about 'bootstrapping'. Add in Joe Biden's thoughts about Latinx being 'the largest Minority Group in America'(???), along w/ weird Culture Appropriation rhetoric coming from Eva Longoria, then John Leguizamo, & it looks like a conspiracy.

It's crystal clear that collectively speaking, Indigenous Black America has NO FRIENDS. We should act accordingly... These Minority Groups forget that Our 'Culture' is fighting White Supremacy, not bowing to it. We're not Here for a Come Up, or a Hand Out- We're indigenous to This Land. We were Here before the first Colonizer, & We'll be Here long after the Last.

-Just Sayin'

The March On Washington 60Yrs later- What does it mean?

Mainstream Media is almost tripping over themselves to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of The March On Washington... Seriously?! Black America is WORSE OFF now, than We were 60Yrs ago! We're still being oppressed by the Same Institutions that Dr. King & 'The Big 6' were marching to protest. I respect my Elder, but Andrew Young is speaking for himself when he says he's 'No ways tired'- more than a few of Us are Sick & Tired of being sick & tired!

U KNOW Mainstream Media had to play Dr. King's 'I have a Dream' speech; I think it's the only MLK Speech allowed. Maybe its just me, but the crowd participating in this 'Event' looked as disingenuous as the Event itself. Why were they there? What are they celebrating? They remind me of the Yuppies that make their pilgrimage to Newburg, N Y. to celebrate the glory & wonder of Woodstock; but the Event itself was a literal Mud Bowl that tested the resolve of the Attendees.

The Kumbaya Coalition looked happy to be part of 'History', but do they understand The History? The individuals that were interviewed ran the usual talking points of 'I have a dream'; are they aware that Dr. King famously said that he 'feared integrating Us into a burning building'? He also said that 'America owes Us a debt & We're coming to Washington to collect Our Check'. Once again, I feel like Black American Culture is being looted to suit another's purpose. MLK is being lauded, but he's just a prop. At the time of his assassination, Dr. King was disliked by 2/3rds of America. Over 160 Newspapers denounced him.

The 'Cloth' of Black American Culture is literally being removed from Us & placed on other groups. First Barack Obama calls his Immigration Policy: 'The Dream Act', & labels the children of Illegal Immigrants 'Dreamers'. Next, (White) LGBTQ... Individuals appropriate Civil Rights to normalize a Counter Culture. NOTHING is politically 'Black Specific', Everything is 'Black & Brown'; meanwhile, Latinx, & Asian Americans get specificity for their respective communities. It's the same thing w/ The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC). Their Mission Statement offers more to Immigrants, than the Black Americans that put them in Office.

As an Indigenous Black American, I feel an all out effort to remove & replace my lineage group. Efforts to rewrite American History, as it relates to Anti- Black Racism is gaining traction. Democrats & Republicans appear to be in agreement w/ placing Illegal Immigrants in Black Communities & instigating competition between Us for the same resources. Los Angeles was just The Beginning. The blatant culture appropriation by folks that We thought were 'Family', is forcing Us to revisit John Henrik Clarke's assessment (30Yrs ago) that: 'We don't have any friends'.

-It doesn't look good.

This is not a new Essay, but the current environment of Anti- Black Racism coming from ALL SIDES has me asking this question more than ever b4.

-I welcome Ur Opinion.
