The Rise Of The Milicons
The Democrats, Just Like The United States, Have Taken Black People In The United States For Granted And Reckoning Is Nigh
At some point “the Party of Lincoln” became Dixiecrats. Dixiecrats became “Goldwater Republicans.” Goldwater Republicans became Democrats. Democrats have, at least some, morphed into “Progressives.” All of which were, and remain, antagonistic to people that look like me.
In fact, it is that antagonism, that apartheid, that is the pathological cause for the existence of the United States. It is why everyone of you reading this sentence, sans my Original American ancestors, have your asses here. Guess what? Assuming your bullshit “elections” and “democracy” are even mildly legitimate, I’ve some bad news for you, brother.
The Empress (so-called “Lady Liberty”) not only has no clothes; she is now naked to the world. And though it is proffered that “the world’s oldest profession” relegates women to whoredom, I beg to differ. You see, the first pimp, according to Angloism, Christianity and, thusly, white supremacist thought was…a woman. Meaning the first man, Adam, was a whore (known as a “hoe” where I come from).
I can just see you European-Americans seething right now; and some dumb, Django-assed Negroes as well.
Good.
I tried to tell you long ago. The world’s minority needs, due to their greed and, thusly homicidal tendencies, to get rid of a bunch of the majority. And it is going down right before your baby brown eyes. What is occurring in Palestine is just the beginning.
I am not celebrating. I am not complaining. And I am not bragging, either. But I will tell you this: the societal and global meltdown precipitated by the so-called Western World, particularly that known as the United States…has arrived. Get your affairs in order.
Everyone.
For better or, likely, worse my trademark as an author, thinker and communicator is that I fearlessly deal with uncomfortable subjects head-on and everyone knows that head-on collisions are almost always fatal. The few people that survive them probably wish they had not. I not only negotiate the uncomfortable, I often do so in an uncomfortable manner because acting like something is not there that is will get you killed as quickly as the aforementioned collision. This is not by design, it just happens. I never asked for this bane but, alas, it is mine.
Fasten your seatbelt.
An unforeseen danger to the democratic party that takes the "black vote" totally for granted is that there is a “silent majority” of Black People in the United States, particularly men, that is going to ditch them. That is not to even remotely infer that they will, in turn, vote for Republicans. What it means is that they will not vote at all.
Politically, that is electorally hazardous for Democrats while it is unnoticeable for Republicans. In full disclosure, this worries me very little in the sense that the election process in the United States is a sham and "rigged." Your own politicians, on both so-called sides, have told you it is rigged so do not dare indict me for telling you what you already know, and if you don't know you are stupid or dead; and yes, brain-dead counts.
I have a neighbor named Rueben. Rueben is a 12 year-old and I adore him. All three of my children are girls, so interacting with little boys is a thing from which I derive much mirth. Rueben is into something called The Transformers which is a comic book as well as an animated and live action movie franchise.
The Transformers are two groups of robots that can mechanically morph from one thing into another; i.e. from robot to fighter-jet. Rueben has metal figurines of all of them and sure as hell he, within nanoseconds, pulls a lever here or a leg there and the damned thing turns into something entirely different. Fascinating, I tell you! He is a professor on the topic and has graciously and altruistically allowed me to be his student.
The Transformers are broken down into two castes. The Autobots are for good and justice. We all know that good would not exist without evil and justice would not exist without injustice. In the world of The Transformers the evil robots are called Decepticons (as in deception, deceit, deceive).
In the beginning, the Autobots and Decepticons actually had similar goals, but the methods they went about in accomplishing said goals is what led to their conflict. The Decepticons were just power hungry and evil for the sake of being evil. The Autobots fought them, because they were the default good guys. Let us just say that the Decepticons spoke with forked-tongue and that their actions were inconsistent with their rhetoric.
Inspired by Rueben's expert tutelage in conjunction with my tendency to be a word nerd In word, I minted the term 'Milicons.’ Because, you see, I am one of them. The most famous of the Transformer tales is called Rise of the Decepticons.
The Milicons
If I could be granted one societal wish pertinent to the United States it would be for every person, and I mean every person, to be a Black Man in the United States for a week. My initial thoughts on this was to posit that a day would suffice, but upon a more nuanced introspective rumination I realized that a week would provide a more full-spectrum and holistic experience. The mere fact that you are reading this, whatever flavor, and not raising your hand to volunteer ought give you pause. Ergo, let us relinquish the denialistic, paternalistic absolution that has become your drug of choice.
When one is a Black Man in the United States, everything is, literally, upside down; we exist in an inverted society. For instance, if I am a second amendment fanatic and I am a European-American I am considered a "conservative." If I am that same thing as a Black Person in the United States, I am considered a "militant."
If I am for defense of my "race" and I am a European-American I am considered a "conservative" perhaps even a "patriot." If I am the same thing as a Black Person in the United States, I am considered a militant and a danger antithetical to patriotism. I live in a society that lauds itself as "a nation of immigrants" but I did not "immigrate.” My Alkebulanian ancestors are officially classified as “involuntary immigrants” which is a designation no other group of people have. It is a very strange, and stressful, existence and it is not accidental. Not by a long shot.
Through machinations too extensive for this article, Black People in the United States have been co-opted by the Democrats. Think of it as politically savage binding arbitration. No need to elucidate on the Repugnantcans (aka Republicans) because they make their message quite clear.
So, in effect, as Malcolm X so eloquently stated: "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.”
'Tis sublime.
The Black Person in the United States, especially the Black Man in the United States, is muted and castrated by the society in which they "involuntarily" find themselves. Constantly we are given "choices" between death and dying. We have learned, generally, not to speak knowing the terrors that might be unleashed upon us; including attack dogs. To be seen (as long as it is in the "right place") but not heard. We live in a stasis of constant human compromise and, after 400 years, we have adapted to the status quo...most of us but not, as you can clearly see, all of us.
Black People in the United States, believe it or not, are very "conservative" in many, many ways. We must not utter this truth for fear of abandonment by the political fox, which will leave us politically homeless. When I speak of "conservative" by no means is it the same as "conservative" European-Americans.
An example is that we have always had homosexuals among us (yeah, I said homosexual) as family members, neighbors and friends. We accept them, we love them. However, it is something that many of us prefer not, were we to have our collective rathers. Just visit the average church of Black People in the United States and you will, literally, "come to Jesus" on the matter.
A few days ago, I found myself at a Wal-Mart. It is not my intent to offend anyone when I say that Wal-Mart, for reasons beyond my comprehension, creeps me out. It is an admittedly irrational position, but it just does. Every time I find myself having to visit a Wal-Mart, I feel like I need to take a shower afterwards. Again, it is irrational, baseless, likely mindless and probably even stupid, but it is the truth. I only show up at a Wal-Mart because there is no other option for whatever it is I seek.
In any event, whilst I am combing the electronics aisle for a particular power supply, I witnessed this Alkebulanian brother on the phone of which he has the speakerphone engaged (why people do that I will never know). He is very animated. He was not yelling or cursing but he was clearly agitated. He was about twice my size and I am 6'2 and 180 pounds. I did not want this dude agitated.
I move some distance away and I could hear him, again not yelling but, in a strong voice say “Goddammit, I ain't having no boys in the locker room with my girls!" There was a female voice on the other end and I heard her say "Honey, we have to accept the society." He said "No we don't when it comes to my baby." I was gobsmacked.
The fellow was really upset, so I, as is my nature, asked him "hey brother, are you okay?" He replied: "these people have gone too far, way too far." I will spare the reader the rest of our subsequent minute long conversation.
Recently I have noticed that liberal pundits, especially the European-American ones, have suddenly started grouping LGBQT with "African-Americans." Whenever they are spouting their "inclusive" detritus they always say "the LGBQT community" and "people of color" and, finally, "African-Americans." I am, literally, formally trained as a professional listener. I am also a word nerd and wordsmith; nothing excites me more than language. Thusly, I am a danger to linguistic subterfuge. I shall repeat myself for the hard of hearing and intellectually challenged… I am a danger to linguistic subterfuge.
What the Wal-Mart brother was saying is something that many Black People in the United States feel, and think. Because, being LGBQT does not TRUMP you being a Black Person in the United States. That is not only a false equivalency and socio-political subterfuge it is a ferocious insult.
If I am black and "gay" that is different from being white and "gay." Ever heard of the Log Cabin Republicans? If I was a Black Woman in the United States during the "women's movement" of the 60's and 70's I got spat on by "white" women. If I am a transexual and black, that is worlds apart from being the same thing and "white." If I am "white" and claim to "love children," I don't love the little black ones that you are bussing into my neighborhood.
If I am a lesbian, aren't I "gay?" If I am a homosexual man, aren't I "gay?" If I am either, aren't I "queer?" Hell, I am a dyed in the wool heterosexual and in today's society I am "queer." What is with this linguistic propaganda and manipulation? Why is the democratic party foisting it upon this most "reliable" part of its electorate? It is the equivalent of political slavery; 'stay on the political plantation, nigger, 'cause you ain't got no where else to go.'
I am in the orbit of the Black Intelligentsia in the United States. We are like Schwartzgeists. You can't see us. In fact, you don't want to see us; we are invisible to you, but we are here. And I can tell you that many of us are tired of being insulted by the one "party" that claims it is our ally.
Most of us, the Schwartzgeists, well know that the cause of our problems in the United States will never become the solution to our problems in the United States. To become drunken by such folly is not only slave mentality and beyond stupidity, it is naked idiocy as well as being psychotic.
I recently authored a piece that went slightly viral entitled The Looming 2024 Crapshow. I will not, here, relitigate the points previously made in the aforementioned article. But, I will assure you that the socio-political dynamics that will be present in 2024 will be like nothing ever witnessed. As the Dear Leader Donald Trump would say "nobody's ever seen anything like it." If Democrats have a bunch of disgusted, disenfranchised black voters (and let us not forget the black to the future legal erosions pertinent to black voters all across the U.S.) their ass is out. O-U-T.
The Democrats had better reevaluate. Cogitate. Ruminate. Investigate. Contemplate. Regurgitate. And, most of all, compensate or the folks you take for granted are going to take you for a ride and you don't know you are in the car. Some of my Alkebulanian people, and more and more of them, are adopting the stance of my Original American ancestors and saying to hell with you and your system. We are the Milicons. Good news for Republicans, bad news for Democrats.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
I encourage everyone who is considering not voting this year to remember that the right to obtain 21st century maternal healthcare, as well as a family's ability to family plan, are being stripped away by religious zealotry. Women are being criminalized for not living their life like some hypocritical bible thumpers decree. Those bible thumpers got into positions of power through gerrymandering and flat out lying about their intentions. Every single person in America is affected by this either directly or through family and friends.
Vote for your daughters who may not even be old enough to vote but will pay the price if the American people let religious zealots take over.
Another reason to vote for the imperfect Dems this year is that Trump will never leave office and his cronies will make life for all of us much worse than it is now. For a long, long time.
The issue of transgender people will not go away no matter who is in office and needs to be worked through. Am I the only one thinking that all those chemicals that have been showered on our land, air, food, and water are a possible part of the reason young people today have screwed up hormones? Many of the chemicals in our environment are known hormone disruptors yet pregnant women have zero protection.
The only path forward truly is complete upheaval. To think any system, by simply taking hostage the word "democracy", wouldn't violently implode in itself is ludicrous. The point of those wealthy, European American at the "founding" was the same as the one today, too keep a relegated,oppressed demographic as the lower caste. They all just try out new gaslighting to obfuscate the truth. Yet, as another darker skinned population is gleefully slaughtered by these colonizer minded bigots, they won't even see the rug pulled out until they're in pieces on the ground. Thank you for your voice.
