"Particularly African American Men"


Imagine being born into a social situation, so dire, anyone's advocacy - on your behalf - is more powerful than your own.

Dear White People: We Aren't Here To Suffer For You


You do what you can.

Read the foreign press to escape American racism? Good luck. You get the international version of "colorblind" lies blacks are implored to buy.



Not from God.

Somebody's been trying to convince me, by email, that American blacks are as bad as whites. He comes across as insidious. He's having a hard time convincing me, because A) I don't see the evidence, B) though conservative, "bad" isn't my starting point for humanity, and C) his anger is such I could imagine he wants to hurt me for not agreeing with him. For seeing blacks as surrounded by a parasitic culture, fat and happy on our blood - and that thinks it has the right, and authority, to judge us after hundreds of years of extremely-unrespectable abuse.

That's what makes us different from your Indian imports. 


This is a scream for help.

I understand blacks are capable of evil - I know what most whites can't imagine - but it's impossible for me to judge the ex-slave population in the same way as members-in-good-standing of the society that produced us. A disturbingly insensitive, and empty-headed society, that has always been free to do as it wishes, right or wrong. And one that still punishes us psychologically, by denying this is so, and/or considering merely stopping abuse as "punishment".



I don't see race.

Today, in America, whites allow themselves the privilege of openly shrugging off 400 years of black abuse like it's nothing (an insulting gesture they don't even register, seeing how often they do it) as they also allow themselves to imagine whatever collective success blacks have had is because whites became nice, rather than we bullied our way past them - utilizing the government and the law - white attitudes be damned. Yes, even while marginalizing us, contemporary whites, world-wide, flatter themselves on a supposed generosity they do not collectively possess - anything but openly acknowledging whites have built a selfish, brutal, and truly insane, society and culture. Most will die first.



We drank your milkshake.

Blacks know we weren't supposed to be a part of this, in the wake of slavery, except in service positions. NO ONE should have to live under this, still. But rather than stopping the culture, conservative whites say society's work's done, so buy guns, and worry about the day you might need 'em - an inevitability, given the apocalyptic outlook, and general stubbornness, of the ancestors who raised them. Passing along the "values" of multi-generational discord. 


What are launching a "war on" this week?

As so many have said, no one loves a hater. But after MLK, no one doubts blacks tried. That was the whole point.



Must attend yoga, take homeopathy, shop at Whole Foods,..

I married a white woman - a decision I've (finally) learned to regret - and one that will give me nightmares for life. Nightmares of being lied to, of being undermined, of abusing others, in concert with the society around us. Nightmares of me, telling her to stop, and discovering that same damn wall. A wall to me, and my friends, with only one door - to this culture's "belief" in the art of the con. A wall to any possibility of a better life - or a door to no life at all. 20 years.



Tried that - didn't work.

It's The Matrix, this place, and these people - Most Can't Win - that's the real definition of "home":






This artist's got no imagination.

It's The Western World (and I've seen more than most) there's no escaping it's madness. The results are (almost) always going to be the same. It's a documented historical fact.






The opposition.

Black's bodies and dreams will be arrested for society's "bad decisions".


The enemy.

And the cultural lines will always be held by obfuscating clowns.


We will be free.

THE H-BOMB (Hill's Not So Hot For Feminists After All)


I've been reading The Hillary Papers and, while there's some pretty good doo doo in there - and I'm going back to look for black stuff - it's Hill's dismissive attitude towards (gulp!) feminists that's first out the gate:



Keep that face frozen - OUCH:


Chain sufficiently yanked - Let The Games Begin,…

White Tactics: Claiming Blacks Are Yelling When We're Really Disagreeing With A Stupid Racist White Person


"Marginalization". 


A word whites only understand, today, when "gay" is put in front of it. 


It's rarely used for blacks pushed into the nation's ghettos, or obviously overlooked/passed over for jobs, or to discuss the phenomena of whites, discussing what should happen to blacks, without any actual black input. 


Weird.


And you know what else? 


If whites really wanted to lower the crime rate, they'd hire more blacks, so I don't think they're being honest about their goal at all.


O.K. - I had to get those two off my chest - on to the real shit:


I'm compelled to blog this little bit of racist behavior because whites have tried to use it on me three times this week.


Always the same scenario:


A service is being performed, by me for the white or vice-versa, when something unexpectedly happens.


The white person, as always, assumes the I'm-in-charge overseer's hands-on-hips pose and pontificates as to, what they think, is the nature of the problem.


But, when I disagree in any manner - hot, cold, indifferent, doesn't matter - the first thing the whites do is accuse me of "yelling" and potentially threatening them.


It doesn't matter what kind of white person it is, either - hippie, conservative, whatever - that's what (after 400 years of slavery) they intuitively know to do, to get control of the situation, and blacks in general.


Because, in white's minds, they have to have control.


Now, of course, blacks know whites do this because they're scared.


Fact - while blacks can read white emotions, whites usually don't know what's going on inside blacks by looking (ask Obama how many white theories he's heard on what he thinks) - because, historically, up until a few decades ago, whites never had to care before.


Hell, when I'm wearing an afro, most whites can't even tell if I combed it or not - that's how out-of-touch they can be.


Anyway, whites pull this "you're yelling" bullshit because it's supposed to make the black person self-conscious, putting the white person in the "civilized" category and suggesting to white onlookers (and - being America - there's almost always a gang of white onlookers) they got a "crazy nigger" on their hands, so everybody better be on guard - you don't know what he might do!


It's total chickenshit - a distraction, just like NotquiteunBuckley's little trip around the world, to avoid discussing whites here - capable of derailing the conversation until all we're arguing about is black behavior modification and not whether the white guy fucked up and has the whole situation wrong.


After 400 years of slavery, whites just think they should be on top, and that means never hearing the word "No" from a black person. 


Several times, I've seen whites physically shake, simply from losing that position in debate.


The scariest thing about it is, almost all whites deploy this tactic once - white friends, coworkers, random people you meet doing business - they're all willing to look completely delusional to try and get that foothold (and they do look crazy, if there's any other blacks around to say "ain't nobody yelling at you"…) Then they shrink right before your eyes.


Like I said about whites taking responsibility:


Whites find anything but power, over others, as a fate worse than death.


The truth is they need to come up with some new shit.


You know, like just making a concerted effort to be decent,…
