It’s the year 2015 , half a century after man walked on the moon. African-Americans have evolved from slavery, the chain gangs, Jim crow and the prison industrial complex to hold the Presidency the most cherished office in America.
A black man is the President. There has been a black Attorney General. In fact a black woman now heads the justice department. A Black man held the top military post as chairman of the joint chiefs, and no greater Chairman has America seen. As if that was not enough he went on to become secretary of state.
Blacks have held top positions in almost all areas of civil society from NASA to the Supreme Court, from the hallowed halls of academia to the powerful board rooms across the country.
Despite the adversities inherent in securing those positions black Americans have been twice as effective , twice as impactful as their white counterparts.The present occupant of the white house is no exception.
Despite the myriad layers of impediments placed in the way of black upward mobility in this supposed land of the free, blacks have triumphed and excelled.
Which leads to the million dollar question .
Why is it that whites in America and across the Globe refuse to compete on a level playing field?
The myth that Caucasians are superior based on concocted mythical perceptions of grandiosity have long been debunked leaving those who believe it looking ignorant and stupid.
So they don’t say it in public anymore they merely recite it in their little inner circles where ignorance is the defining theme.
The rest of the world which by the way is majority people of color have long exposed the nonsense that white superiority as a concept is little more than the thinking of a frightened inferior people who deal in lies and bullyism.
In America when students of color are placed in classrooms with white students in most cases black students coming from middle class homes do better academically than their white counterparts.
Don’t mention the Jewish or Asian kids or the kids who come here from Africa.
So it would be instructive to learn from the purveyors of white superiority what metric they use in arriving at their conclusion.
It can’t be that they are more athletic, that lie has be dead and buried long ago so what is it?
Is it that whites are better swimmers ? Are they superior because there are hardly any swimming pools in urban areas just like tennis courts and golf courses are conveniently absent ?
I guess you get my point !!!
The fact of the matter is that well into the 21st century a large swath of white America are acting like petulant little children.
They cannot be captain of the team because other members of the team are more talented and have better leadership skills, so they want to pick up the ball and go home.
Only the ball does not belong to them.
The ball belongs to the team so they are not allowed to pick it up and take it home with them.
And therein lie the problem in 2015, whether it’s Missouri University Campus or Ferguson Missouri, Be it Staten Island the south of New york State or Cleveland Ohio and all places beyond the despicable ignorant racist attitudes of white people are the same.
They couch it by pretending to support Police aggression against people of color but more specifically Black people the subject of their hatred. Every year more and more people are killed by American police and most of those killed are white. It is true that more blacks are disproportionately killed based on their numbers but in raw numbers more whites are killed each year.
Whites though rabid supporters of police cannot be happy with the number of unarmed white men being killed by those sworn to protect and serve. In fact they aren’t.
Their righteous indignation[sic] is unbridled when white men are victims of police abuse, or they are conveniently silent.
The killing of Black men becomes a feeding frenzy for them. The chosen tact is demonize distort and devalue.
They look at everything the murdered person ever did, use it to demonize him/her then they use their media to distort his/her life history, subsequently devaluing his/her life which in the end validates the murder or assault on the victim’s person.
One of the things I personally have a problem with is the passivity and sense of security blacks demonstrate while it is clear that white people are actively teaching their children to hate.
There can be no reasonable argument that seeks to convey a message that America is getting better with race relations. Look at the neanderthal persona of America since Barack Obama rose to the presidency.
And please do not insult me with the gobbly gook that Obama was elected by white voters.
Obama did receive some white votes of course, after all there are decent white people , most of whom are enlightened to vote Democratic and they did vote for Obama twice. However Obama was elected twice because those whites, unprecedented amounts of Blacks,Latinos, Jews, Asians, Gays and Lesbians and those with other socially defining characteristic voted for him.
Yes white students have always stood for what’s right and decent , my critique is in no way a blanket indictment of the white race but there are far too many white curmudgeons who are content to benefit from white privilege.
Too many of those hypocrites chose to remain silent in the face of unmitigated hatred and aggression against black people in America.
Too many are content to have police abuse and kill black people while they sit in their little circles and gloat because they are too chicken shit to compete on a level playing field.
Too many are comfortable with Police departments becoming active militaries against the nation’s black population.
How much black blood is enough for America ?
From the shores of Western Africa through the middle passage to the shores of the western world , from slavery through jim crow , from the chain gangs to present day , how much black blood will appease the gluttony of America’s white vampires?
How much is enough? When will it stop? When will black people be allowed to live without the vitriolic hatred fuelled by white people’s low self esteem and sense of insecurity?
