Artificial "Intelligence" AKA Binary Coded Preprogrammed Jim Crow

An insidious and dangerous threat few recognize as such...yet.

The Ultimate Equalizer Is The Ultimate Weapon

For decades I have informed those that would listen that the “microprocessor is one of the most potent developments in human history aside from the wheel.” Next week, the entire week, I will be publishing five pieces that illustrate how what is known as “A.I.” (Large Language Models) is not only becoming a threat to intellectual and academic development but, more ominously, an extension of white supremacy/inferiority. For those that are unaware of why I use the terms supremacy and inferiority in conjunction with one another, the answer is quite simple: one cannot exist without the other.

My deliberate juxtaposition of white supremacy and white inferiority is not a contradiction but a philosophical exposure of the psychological and geopolitical underpinnings of racial ideology. Supremacy, from my perspective, is not a reflection of actual superiority but a compensatory myth; a defensive projection born from historical scarcity, demographic vulnerability, and existential insecurity. The global numerical minority status of white populations (nearly 9 to 1), coupled with Europe’s historical lack of abundant natural resources, has driven a need to assert dominance through colonial expansion, cultural erasure and now, digital control. So-called white supremacy, therefore, is sustained not through inherent excellence but through systemic violence and mythmaking as we can see throughout modern history, all over the globe and particularly, at the moment, in Palestine as well as other places.

Thusly, AI—particularly large language models—becomes not just a tool of bias but a digital extension of supremacist/inferiorist mythology. If these systems are trained predominantly on Western data, coded by predominantly white institutions, and deployed to shape global discourse, then they reproduce the myth of supremacy while obscuring the underlying insecurity. AI becomes the new frontier for asserting control over knowledge, culture, identity and an algorithmic mask for historical inferiority.

Amen?

A women, too.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly in the form of large language models (LLMs), is often celebrated as a revolutionary equalizer. An innovation poised to democratize access to knowledge, streamline decision-making, and enhance productivity across sectors. Yet beneath this promise lies a troubling paradox: AI may also serve as a modern extension of systemic bias, functioning as what I call “Binary Coded Preprogrammed Jim Crow.” My metaphor reframes AI not as a neutral tool, but as a sociopolitical instrument capable of encoding and perpetuating the very inequalities it claims to dismantle.

AI systems reflect the values, assumptions, and blind spots of their creators and the data they are trained on. When historical injustices and cultural biases are embedded in training corpora, the resulting models can enhance discriminatory patterns in hiring, policing, education, and even academic discourse. AI becomes not just a technological innovation but a digital scaffold for maintaining racial hierarchies under the guise of objectivity.

The phrase “The Ultimate Equalizer Is The Ultimate Weapon” reflects the dual nature of AI’s ominous potential power. While it can empower individuals and democratize access to information, it can also be weaponized to surveil, exclude, and suppress. Algorithms that personalize learning or healthcare can simultaneously gatekeep intellectual spaces, marginalize non-dominant epistemologies, and automate injustice. The same systems that promise inclusion may reinforce exclusion, especially when designed and deployed without critical reflection. A perfect example of this is that a number of municipalities and jurisdictions are experimenting with AI to sentence criminal defendants, an inordinate number of whom…are Black People in the United States.

Very, very dangerous.

Finally, the threat to intellectual and academic development is profound. Overreliance on AI-generated content risks flattening nuance, discouraging critical thinking, and erasing culturally specific knowledge. If AI becomes the default authority, it may stifle the very diversity of thought that academia seeks to cultivate. AI is not merely a technical innovation it is a mirror of society’s values and an amplifier of its inequities. Recognizing this is not necessarily an indictment of technology itself, but a warning to interrogate its design, deployment, and impact with vigilance, historical awareness, and justice at the forefront.

For the past several weeks, I have conducted a number of experiments with AI on certain content. Though the content inputted was varied in range and scope, certain tropes, verbiage and responses remained constant; especially regarding Black People in the United States. Ironically, something very interesting occurred when AI was challenged. It was, in fact, fascinating and mirrored the same thing that happens in real world Amerika when resistance is applied.

Next week I shall enlighten further and hope you tune in for all five installments.
