Black Racists

[sings at an ignorant pitch and volume]

"If you could gaze into the future... (future, future)
You might believe niggas are free. (niggas are free?)
Seeing lynch mobs from a distance. (yeah!)
I guess it ain't that easy. (oh no!)

I tried to wake up my black nation.
These niggas still misbehaving! (oh oh oh oooh!)

That's so racist! (It's the future I can see!)
That's so racist! (It's so mysterious to me!)
That's so racist! (It's the future I can see!)
That's so racist! (It's so mysterious to me!) (Yeah!)"

"Yep. That's me!"

Sometimes I feel like Jenny from Forrest Gump. Alone in the world. Confused. Misunderstood. And the only one, other than myself, that I can really trust is a crippled boy who has just miraculously ran his way out of the bondage of leg braces. Renewing the spirit of hope within me. And like Jenny, on most days, I wish that God would make me a bird too. So I could fly far, far away. From all of the evils in the world.

In particular, I really wish that God would make me into a giant fist. So I could punch the shit out of every white person that's ever used the phrase, "That's just racist!"

To whom this may concern, and to my fellow white brothers and sisters, you must understand that I do not speak out in utter hatred and disrespect for the white race. I'm much more mature and too intelligent to spew hatred. There's enough of that in the world. However, I can no longer sit and pretend as if there aren't things that get under my skin.

Via observation, it seems as though whites have a way with words and are often times misinformed about many things. I'm also well aware as to how you (whites) are prepared to read this post, critique it with a keen eye for grammatical errors and fallacies and attempt to debunk anything you may disagree with. You are more than welcome to do so. I'm prepared to defend my stance. I hold nothing back and I'm as honest as necessary about particular subject matter. If you're reading this and you become offended by the commentary, then there's no need to worry. Take a walk in a black man's shoes. He's been on the "defensive" while having been "offended" for over 400 years.

What goes around comes around.

In reference to black people within the Diaspora (Afrikan, African-American, the original Asiatics, the original Native Americans, the original Europeans, Afrikan people throughout the entire world who have fallen victim to miscegenation/historical rape, etc.), who occupy 196.9 million sq. miles of God's green earth, neither the term racism nor the act of "being racists" adequately applies to black people. It would seem that many today would believe that racism has absolutely everything to do with being non-receptive of humans on the basis of skin complexion and color. There are many institutions that have accepted such a flawed and rudimentary definition of racism; the first institution being the American education system.

Merriam-Webster's An American Dictionary of the English Language refers to the term racism as "a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race." I could somewhat agree, but then again, Noah Webster was an editor, author and colonialist who shared and highly respected American values pertaining to liberty and justice. Those values embedded within the moral fiber of liberty included the enslavement and brutal treatment of Afrikan people on American soil. He possessed no interest in sacrificing a way of life that placed whites in a position of power and dominion over other people. The accuracy of his definition of racism accentuates the ethnocentric value of white superiority and dominance. Quite ironic, wouldn't you say?

According to the works of the late historian and theologian, Dr. Ishakamusa Barashango, the historical definition of racism refers to "the system of racial subjugation of non-whites in every area of human relation. These areas include education, labor, politics, law, religion, sex, war and economics." In the interest of fairness, the latter definition addresses the right-wing view that black people can be subjected to a reverse form of racism.

In the case of reverse racism, the notion that blacks possess just as much of an ability to control, manipulate and destroy in a constructive and subtle manner, at the same capacity historically as many who have identified themselves as White/Anglo-Saxon, makes a great deal of sense theoretically. There's just one uncommon factor. There are no historical records, documentation or any irrefutable evidence of black/Afrikan people imposing any systematic, superior racial ideology upon other races for the purposes of economic control and the establishment of wealth. Through the roughage of burned libraries, textbooks and scrolls, stolen artwork and aesthetics, on the continent of Afrika, you may find a tumultuous amount of evidence accrediting the rich history of Afrikans. This rich history includes the advances in science, medicine, law, physics, biology and mathematics, along with archaeological and anthropological evidence of the existence of mankind globally which precedes westernized thought by 50,000 years.

Racism, in itself, is very complex. As we've witnessed, given the previous information on what racism has been, we're lead to believe that racism's complexity is by design. If there's no general consensus in the understanding of race and the ideology of racism, then there's no foundation to perform a contextual analysis for examining the affects of this complex institution. During the 17th century, Britain had established rule over the original 13 colonies of North America. The process of enslavement began as indentured servitude which later progressed into what would become chattel slavery. Slaves brought to the Caribbean islands of St. Thomas, Aquinas and Barbados were branded with the acronym R.A.C.E. which stood for 'Royal African Cargo of England' during the early 18th century (1719). Historically, it is obvious that the terminology, concept and its context had developed in the minds of Europeans years before the American Revolutionary War; a significant time period of the North American colonies breaking away from the tyranny of the British Empire.

Why is this important?

For by the time the colonies of North America had declared their independence, they had their own chain of islands, enough banking, cash crops and more than enough land to operate independently. There was no need to be subordinate to the tyrannical rule and taxation of the British Empire no longer. It benefited them none.

Think about it. Do black people really possess the ability to do unto other groups of people what was done unto them for the purpose of gaining wealth and power? Could the definition of racism be reversed? Given a substantial amount of power and wealth, how would black people wield that very power?

Million Dollar Question: Why would a select group of people who are victimized, singled out and have not benefited economically from this concept of race turn around and oppress other people with an institution they themselves did not assist in creating?

In 1915's The Birth of a Nation, an adaptation of a novel by Thomas Dixon Jr. entitled The Clansman, directed by D.W. Griffith, the film chronicles the life of two families and post-Civil War/Reconstruction policies that had a major influence on the reshaping the framework of American society. Although this was a controversial film, it was also fictional. Under the tutelage of President Woodrow Wilson, it was the first film to be featured in the White House. White characters in film dressing up in black face was the least of the controversy. It was in the depiction of black people who had received their just due of American power and civil liberties outlined by the U.S. Constitution. The imagery of black progress, institutionalized social programming and black sexual deviancy erupted the internal fears and insecurities that were already present in the mind of many whites in America. This would eventually justify and promulgate more violence, injustice and the instilling of programs that would have long term affects upon black people here in the U.S.

But why is this also important?

The film stigmatized many White Americans during that time period and led them to believe that black progress and entitlement would lead to their demise. This is the first time America was exposed to reverse racism. From the perspective of fictional characters and an even more fictitious plot. Not only was it the first film ever played in the White House, it was the first featured film in American history. The entertainment industry has had an intricate relationship with racial politics and social programming. Never in the history of black people have we subjected other groups to such madness and atrocities.

So there you have it. There's no such thing as black racism. Unless we're making references to the malcondition of black people, then it isn't something imposed by black people upon others, it is assigned and designated for the destruction of people of color. That's all it has ever done. Again, there's no physical or empirical evidence which suggests that black people created and benefited from the system of racial categorization for the building of an economic empire.

Think about it.
