Proud, Black, AND Democrat? Foxes, Wolves & Do-Nothing Duopoly Disgust
Black People in the United States are done being constantly insulted by both parties of the political duopoly. IF Democrats think Harris changes that fact THEY are bigger fools than they think WE are.
White duopolistic supremacy, essentially, states that Black People in the United States are misguided in their apathy towards the two main political parties. They suggest that this is resultant of some recent contrived manifestation of Republicans and Donald Trump. That is patently untrue, for Malcolm X spoke of it over half a century ago.
Malcolm X, was one of the greatest minds in the history of the world. He was born in the United States of America in 1925 (my grandmother was born five years before, in 1920). Forty years later, the United States of America would assassinate him as it has so many leaders that look like him and me. The United States will continue to assassinate the truth and/or those harbingers of it. Particularly, and especially, if they are Black People in the United States. Malcolm X would be 99 years old today. I can but imagine how different my life, and that of every other Black Person in the United States would be had he existed that extra half-century.
It was that possibility, that portent and, ultimately, that inevitability of what his existence meant which is why he was assassinated. Any mediocre fool knows that neither justice, nor that which is inevitable can be assassinated. As William Shakespeare noted: “Our wills and fates do so contrary run, that our devices still are overthrown; our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own.”
One year before the assassination of Malcolm X, on July 2, 1964, United States President Lyndon Baines Johnson, genially known as LBJ, signed into law the Civil Rights Act. The “most sweeping” civil rights legislation since Reconstruction. The act, supposedly, prohibited racial discrimination in employment and education. It also outlawed segregation in public facilities. I have often heard Black People in the United States speak fondly of LBJ and the Civil Rights “Act”. Dare not I forget the bleeding heart, European/white so-called liberals that use the event to justify both their paternalistic and, more importantly, supremacist instincts while simultaneously engaging in self-aggrandizing absolution.
There exists a well known tale by Joe Biden of his encounter with a Black “gang member” named “Popcorn” (funny how white “gang members” are always called something other than that). I will spare the reader the nauseating fiction that is the tale told by Uncle Joe, but I must mention one detail. Apparently, Uncle Joe confronts this big, bad, mean spear-chucker and decides to grab a “chain”. Uncle Joe, in 2012, also referenced “chains” to a group consisting of many Black People in the United States and included “y’all” in his adopted, stereotyped Negroid dialect. I’ve yet to hear Uncle Joe use the word “y’all” when addressing a crowd of European-Americans.
I never say y’all. Don’t particularly like fried foods. Don’t like Cadillacs. Don’t eat watermelon. I can’t dance, but I do have rhythm and am a fair musician. I got cut from my high school basketball team though a ferocious and stellar free safety in *football; which stands to reason as the free safety is all alone…in no man’s land…where train wrecks occur. Just for the record.
I have never liked chains, gold or otherwise; probably genetic memory, methinks. Never liked ties very much either, though I have had to wear them all of my life (still do, on less and less of an occasion). Something about rope around my neck that makes me uncomfortable. Odd, that.
Joseph Biden, is a fellow that has referenced Black People in the United States as “predators beyond the pale”. Joseph Biden said that Barack Obama (his supervisor whose name he could not remember) was the “first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice looking guy…I mean, that’s a storybook, man”. I guess so, Uncle Joe.
Joseph Biden, captured over half of the Black People in United States vote; double that of his nearest competitor. From Bill Clinton eating fried chicken with “African-Americans” to his wife telling “African-Americans” about “hot sauce” in her purse, Black People in the United States are constantly made fools of by both parties. Whether it is Donald Trump calling Alkebulan nations “shithole countries” or Democrats in Black Face, the insult is distinctive without being different.
Abraham Lincoln, supposedly, “freed” us but I beg his, and your, pardon. What already belonged to me, what I already possessed, is not any man’s to give and he sure as hell has not done me, nor mine, any favors. In any event, Mr. Freed-The-Slaves-Lincoln stated he could “conceive of no greater calamity than the assimilation of the negro into our social and political life as our equal”. Mr. Lincoln had to have been intelligent enough to realize that this malady, this “negro problem” was, and is, a self-inflicted wound. All European-Americans should realize that.
I am livid that Black People in the United States would honor either political party with their vote. Because, in either case, they are voting for the same thing; and that is assuming that their votes might count. How can Black People in the United States allow themselves to be so duped and bamboozled? How do we not feel like two-dollar political whores after being temporarily courted by fake bastards that come and eat barbecue with us and never return until time to eat barbecue again? None of the so called “liberal progressives” live near the people they claim to love so much; including ones with fake Spanish names like “Beto” and ones that claim to be Original Americans that are Snow White.
Let’s not leave out the token “people of color” calling themselves Democrats that would rather die and go to hell than walk down Crenshaw and Florence in Los Angeles, where I come from, on a late Friday night (including Kamala’s sorry ass and Barry “O”). I remind all that the the KKK was, and is, full of “Dixiecrats” now known as “Democrats”. It, quite literally, makes me sick to my stomach as slavery, like white supremacy, is a state of mind often occupying the same dwelling. In fact, the removal of physical chains has lulled Black People in the United States into a false sense of “freedom” that has, ironically, enslaved us even more. The physical chains reminded us that we had to keep fighting. Mentally, and intellectually, we are more enslaved than ever.
Malcolm X is one of my forefathers, a man that I admire more than any man other than my own father. Malcolm X, shortly before his state sanctioned assassination said:
“The white liberal is the worst enemy to America, and the worst enemy to the black man. Let me explain what I mean by the white liberal. In America there is no such thing as Democrat or Republican anymore. In America you have liberals and conservatives. The only people living in the past who think in terms of I’m a Democrat or Republican, is the American Negro. He’s the one that runs around bragging about party affiliation. He’s the one that sticks to the Democrat or sticks to the Republican. But white people are divided into two groups, liberals and conservative. The Democrats who are conservative, vote with the Republicans who are conservative. The Democrats who are liberal vote with the Republicans that are liberal.
The white liberals aren’t white people who are for independence, who are moral and ethical in their thinking. They are just a faction of white people that are jockeying for power. The same as the white conservative is a faction of white people that are jockeying for power. They are fighting each other for power and prestige, and the one that is the football in the game is the Negro, 20 million black people. A political football, a political pawn, an economic football, and economic pawn. A social football, a social pawn.
The liberal elements of whites are those who have perfected the art of selling themselves to the Negro as a friend of the Negro. Getting sympathy of the Negro, getting the allegiance of the Negro, and getting the mind of the Negro. Then the Negro sides with the white liberal, and the white liberal uses the Negro against the white conservative. So that anything that the Negro does is never for his own good, never for his own advancement, never for his own progress, he’s only a pawn in the hands of the white liberal.
The worst enemy that the Negro has is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros, and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have. If the Negro wasn’t taken, tricked, or deceived by the white liberal then Negros would get together and solve our own problems. I only cite these things to show you that in America the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickeries designed to make Negros think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems.
Our problems will never be solved by the white man. The only way that our problems will be solved is when the black man wakes up, cleans himself up, stands on his own feet and stops begging the white man, and takes immediate steps to do for ourselves the things that we have been waiting on the white man to do for us. Once we do for self then we will be able to solve our own problems’.
The white conservatives aren’t friends of the Negro either, but they at least don’t try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the “smiling” fox. One is the wolf, the other is a fox. No matter what, they’ll both eat you.”
Republicans have intercourse with Black People in the United States. Democrats make love to Black People in United States. Either way, we perpetually end up getting screwed. Time for Black People in the United States to stop casting their electoral gonads to swine and this year, that weaning process begins.
Truth be told.
99+ ideas here to contemplate.
Two things that make Malcolm X stand out to me. Intelligent, of course, but a self-taught street intelligence that assimilated street experience into developing his understandings that began as Malcolm Little and evolved into the denunciation of being little as applicable to that experience of being an Alkebulanian in America---even before embracing that experience into an X. While Alex Haley wrote his autobiography and I don't know how much was Haley; Haley left out his fantastic courage of confrontation to stand between the aroused on both sides of the spectrum. Therein is not only brilliance but the courage of his intellect to speak directly to the white man with the will of backing them down with his intellect and change their mood to negotiation. I see a direct link to Fredrick Douglass who exhibited the same brilliant courage. I don't know how to quite define in words how not only their words but the courage their words required in the face of the E-A's who were forced into eating their own worst inclinations. To face the reality, at least while they were being spoken to, that these E-A's were hearing the truth about themselves.
It is somewhat of an irony to me, that MLK is often credited to having precipitated violence wherever he spoke. That the violence was precipitated by the E-A's is generally ignored.
But by threat that violence could occur by the Alkebulanian, and confronted with their own ignorance and the fears that ignorance in the, E-A's almost never (I won't claim never, but I am unaware of any eruptions of violence by the E-A's against the aroused Alkebulanians confronting the E-A's with their own atrocities of behavior), when confronted with the prospect and the reality of Malcolm's words, generally had a better (less violent) outcome than King's "peaceful" marches.
While we would all like peaceful demonstrations to bring us peace, the prospective outcome is too frequently an opportunity to use violence against the peaceful protesters that is almost an insurmountable temptation by the weak and fearful minded.
Eventually, I suppose it is inevitable that organized confrontations will occur on a national or worldwide basis. Unfortunately (at least from the historical perspective) not very promising for the uprisers.
Until someone rises with the intellectual courage to unite the Alkebulanian ( & downtrodden in general, if possible) with the prospect of violence that can prevent the E-A's confronted with the truths and the realities of their own diminishment that their actions have led them to internalize, these E-A's will continue to let themselves to be emboldened.
Perhaps, Mr Kenyatta you may be that man. Your words often stir in me the same recognition of the realities that Douglass' and X's words often bring to me. You bring to the forefront the undeniable realities of apartheid fears bring to the table necessary for the door to the E-A's deportation of his own inner soul that has succumbed to the passions of group fear.

What, if anything, can European-Americans can do that would, I want to say "help" but think "not hurt" may be more appropriate, other than just getting out of the way?
