Judging Countries By "The Content Of Their Character"

This is a photo of America's "real" Industrial Revolution

By the time 1807 rolled around, 4 out of every 5 people who came to America was from Africa. The country was moving about 400,000 lbs. of cotton then. By the beginning of the Civil War (1860) that number had swelled to 2 billion lbs. How'd America achieve that, without some new innovation in cotton production?

What To Do With White People Is Now A Trending Topic

Ayn Rand, white's conservative cultist of selfishness and national irresponsibility - along with all the others - should never have been resurrected

Thank goodness, oppressed culture's don't naturally roam to making slaves, sending people away in cattle cars, or firing squads, because America's caucasians would be in some trouble going forward in history. Of course, TMR (always ahead of the cultural curve) long ago switched to an all-white-all-the-time-call-out format, while Salon's Brittney Cooper has only recently gotten to the point where whites have her "utterly undone." But it's Jezebel's Brit Bennett, who finally confesses what everyone's thinking: "I Don't Know What to Do With Good White People." 

She's got me there, too, because - after my trial-by-fire with emersion in white "culture" - I now have a hard time identifying what "good" even means, in the shitshow that is white America revealed. I mean, considering what hardships whites are saddling blacks with, as I write this, would it be wrong for future generations to subject white's ever-more-unreasonable asses to slavery, cattle cars, and firing squads? White's obstinance (and laughter) in the face of our deaths, coupled with their historical willingness to see others suffer for their benefit, makes it a tough call. "Ethics," as we know it, becomes questionable in their presence - which, in a way, has always been the "good" white people's point. 

Confronting the weight, of living with 4 centuries of white bullshit, I just wrote something like the following, in an email, to a "good" white person a few days ago:

"They decry black Americans for embracing “victimology,” and they disparage women for “playing the victim,” whenever anyone identifies incidents or patterns of racial or sexual injustice. It is of crucial importance to the right-wing project of constructing a society of solipsism to sketch a victimless world of capitalistic purity. If there are no victims, institutions are irrelevant, and there are no victimizers. If there are no victimizers, there is no need for external agitation from democratic organization or government enforcement of fair and consistent standards under the law."

Reading "a society of solipsism" really brings the point home, for me, because that's what TMR's been blogging about this place for almost a decade. This "modern" society that said the late (and suicidal) Spalding Gray was "brilliant" as he talked about pot affecting his "kundalini," and made multiple con men and women rich selling "The Secret," but today calls Will Smith's Scientology-schooled kids "crazy" for spouting the same inherited garbage everyone was applauding as they grew. (Picking on the black kids really brings the cowardice of these people, not to mention their corrosive racial dynamics, into view.) I could say, "make up your minds, people!" but I'm no longer sure many others have one - or ever have. It's just been my slow torture, equal to anything I've read in the recent report that's got everyone so outraged, now. You've all become Dick Cheney, dripping with evil and the stench of death, to me.

And the world turns. By 2044, whites will be the minority and the kids of these monstrosities, who will be spouting THEIR PARENT'S inherited nonsense, won't have the cover of their parent's superior numbers - so what to do? I imagine future generations will be at a loss, because protecting those who've always been hurting blacks, merely to protect their egos, won't be a winning proposition to the formally oppressed. White's perversion of MLK's teachings are already causing non-violence to lose it's currency and, after another 30 years, and faced with this already-heavily-armed white population, I can't see how it'll last. (If whites don't believe in non-violence - and their heavily-advertised and newly-purchased arsenals clearly say they don't - why will anyone else?)

And it's today's remorseless "good" white people, through their open hostility and willful inaction, that will have made it so. They demanded it be this way, and everyone's finally heard them, and these "others" will have no choice but to respond accordingly.

I guess, looking at it objectively, only a very-pre-emptive "congratulations" - for any future carnage to caucasians - are all that can reasonably be offered,...

As The Earth Circles The Sun (Whites Circle Everyone)

White America's created, and accepted, a sick and brutally violent culture - based on their fears and nothing more - that has never changed

It's instructive to note that ”not only do 59 percent of Americans say the torture of suspected terrorists was justified," but it's probably those same Americans who have been attempting to  justify the killing of black citizens by calling us "thugs" and "savages" and - in the case of Darren Wilson - a "demon." (That these are convincing arguments, for them - alone - to explain why someone with darker skin has to die, is also revealing.)

I think, if white America saw themselves as others do, they'd become more aware of this as their semi-annual Blood Lust-A-Go-Go,...

Blacks Shouldn't Fight For Reparations (Whites Should)

Another story, of horrible racism, deemed unworthy of mainstream promotion or black compensation - but, I'm telling you, 400 years worth, compounded daily, are really gonna add up:

I've been following the story of the state-run Florida School for Boys, for years now. It's such a disgusting chapter in Florida's history. The reform school operated from 1900 to 2011. It was the largest juvenile detention center in America. It was also a house of horrors for hundreds if not thousands of young boys who had the misfortune of being enrolled there. Throughout the years the institution's staff were frequently accused of ritual abuse, beatings, rape, torture, and even murder. State authorities finally closed the school down in 2011.

It's now for sale.

However, selling it may be hard, considering yesterday the University of South Florida announced they had exhumed the remains of 55 young boys. That's 24 more dead boys than the state of Florida had previously thought to be buried. The school was established in Marianna, a small Panhandle town, with a pretty dark past. It was the site of an insignificant Civil War battle, as well as the final resting place of former slave-owning, Governor John Milton (who committed suicide after the War). It's also the site of the horrific torture and lynching of Claude Neal, an African-American accused of rape and murder. Today, only 9,000 people live in Marianna, who's motto is "City of Southern Charm."

By those standards, it's a "charming" fucking country.

Having Whites Artificially Inserted Into Black's Bloodline Isn't An Issue Worthy Of U.S. Discussion 4 Reparations?

This is interesting - and I see it in the culture today, in the ignorant statements some make, that blacks don't have it "that bad" now - but Slate's Dana Steven's thinks 12 Years a Slave, especially, lent itself to over-dramatisation for effect:

"When the white overseers and masters—particularly Fassbender’s red-bearded supervillain, but to a lesser degree the figures played by Paul Dano, Paul Giamatti, and Benedict Cumberbatch—show up, there’s sometimes the hint of a prurient horror-movie vibe that can feel exploitive. I felt this when Dano’s rather theatrically vile character sang that hideous 'Run, nigger, run' song in close-up. Or in the many scenes when Fassbender (who, on a second viewing, I find to be laying it on a little thick) wanders his plantation with a bottle in hand, circling like a predator, looking for someone to humiliate and abuse.”

Did you notice she called them "white"?

We Are Respectable Negroes has a 19th century woodcarving called "Torture Of A Slave" says different, as well as some charming tales for those who might find blacks,…what shall we call it? Degenerate, maybe? Well, I'm getting off-topic - what was slavery really like with the "white" slaveowner? 

"On this plantation were more than 100 slaves who were mated indiscrimi-nately and without any regard for family unions. If their master thought that a certain man and woman might have strong, healthy offspring, he forced them to have sexual relation, even though they were married to other slaves. If there seemed to be any slight reluctance on the part of either of the unfortunate ones, 'Big Jim' would make them consummate this relationship in his presence.

We've already established Irish women were favorites.

He used the same procedure if he thought a certain couple was not producing children fast enough. He enjoyed these orgies very much and often entertained his friends in this manner; quite often he and his guests would engage in these debaucheries, choosing for themselves the prettiest of the young women. Sometimes they forced the unhappy husbands and lovers of their victims to look on."

Bible in hand, I'm sure.

Louisa and Sam were married in a very revolting manner. To quote [Louisa]:

“Marse Jim called me and Sam ter him and ordered Sam to pull off his shirt that was all the McClain niggers wore and he said to me: Nor, ‘do you think you can stand this big nigger?’ He had that old bull whip flung acrost his shoulder, and Lawd, that man could hit so hard! So I jes said ‘yassur, I guess so,’ and tried to hide my face so I couldn’t see Sam’s nakedness, but he made me look at him anyhow.

Made her do it. Go ahead, hate another black who doesn't want to salute the flag.

“Well, he told us what we must git busy and do in his presence, and we had to do it,...”

We have to go along with whatever whites say.

Those rape orgies must be the "traditional values" conservatives are fond of saying blacks used to have, rather than acknowledging the horrorshow blacks have been trying to build from, pretty much alone, in reality - and in the face of white's opposition based on lie.

(Can you imagine how much of a hinderance to progress it is, for blacks, that white people aren't understanding - or taking any responsibility for - this one fact, of what role they play, in our nation's possible psycho-social dysfunction?) 

"America" is a badly-sold con job, on it's way to becoming an open wound, that whites use our money to hide from, and think they'll force the rest of us to live under, forever.

Hmmmm,…

The Human Condition (Is Neither Human Or A Condition)

"To outside eyes, it’s like watching an elderly Adolf Hitler, having won World War II, regale his grandkids with tales of his wonderful ovens.

…And after a scene where he plays the victim, he asks, 'Did the people I tortured feel the way I do here?' He is surprised when told that they felt so much worse."

Maybe "40 Acres & A Mule" Was A Missed Opportunity

During slavery, so many whites saw nothing wrong with it, it remained an institution for hundreds of years - and now?

There's a form of mental torture called "gaslighting," its name taken from a play in which a man convinces his wife that the gas lights in their home she sees brightening and dimming are, in fact, maintaining a steady glow. His ultimate goal is to drive her into a mental institution and take all her money, and soon the woman ends up in an argument with herself about whether she's losing her mind. American race relations have a similar narrative: An entire set of minorities confident that the everyday slights they're seeing are real and hurtful, and an entire set of other people assuring them that they're wrong.

I'm assured whites who get attacked "for nothing" can relate,...

 

Thoughts On Things Not Worth Discussing But They Do

 

Do not look at the video, above, to see what I'm told doesn't happen. As long as you don't hit "play," you're right. It's nice to be right. It's nice to be white. Work on it.

   

 I wonder how many kids bring home A+ papers, only to have their parents ask them, "Why do you have to try and be right all the time?" I don't have parents, so I have to rely on my friends for these insights. They're wrong a lot, so I guess they'd know. They're my friends.

   

 I am an atheist. I am not part of a movement. If I am, then it's now a bowel movement, and I'll get really shitty to escape it.

   

"You know there are some pretty unusual practices that some yogis follow." Yeah, like doing yoga, joining cults, being followers, and making videos of themselves, doing these things, to encourage others to be like them. What makes them so special, in their own eyes, isn't a problem they ever discover. They're too busy stretching. 

   

 Fuck Godwin's Law. The internet deciding that calling someone "Hitler" has no validity - when Hitler was a human being who did have validity - is a phenomena with no validity at all. Hitler used to pull that crap and that's what made him Hitler.

   

You'd think NewAgers would notice self-help books are part of their "spirituality," though there's nothing spiritual about self-help books - they're for people with problems. NewAgers are the least equipped to fix their problems themselves. Ooops - I just sent another one into a cult. They're impossible.

   

 And "Three rabbis allegedly conspired to kidnap and torture Orthodox Jewish men in an attempt to coerce them to divorce their wives."
