Can we have an honest adult conversation about what’s going on in this country and the world? I think it’s time for us to be honest with each other and talk to each other as adults, not like little children.
The masses of Americans showed themselves to be just that — American, which is code for White. Just think about it, whenever you hear a White person say to a person of color, “Go back to your country, this is America,” what they’re really saying is America is White, and the only way to be an American through their eyes is to be White.
Think I’m wrong, how many times have you heard a White person tell another White person to go back to one of the 44 countries (which make up Europe) they or their ancestors come from? How many times have you even heard a White person telling another White person speaking in their native language be it Italian, Greek, Polish or any of the other 23 European languages that “this is America, speak English.”
Think about it, you’ve never heard a White person correcting the dialect of one of those rednecks in Appalachia, who speaks so poorly you need to have closed captioning to translate what the hell they’re talking about — but it’s okay because they’re White.
On Nov. 5, White people showed up and they made their selection. They showed this country and the world just what type of person they felt both spoke to their interest, intellect as well as persons and people that reflect their views and values.
Sixty percent of White male registered voters and 53% of White female voters showed this country and the world that supporting their own culture is the most important thing, damn what’s right, they showed up as White first.
Now please don’t get me wrong, I always look at life and think through my Black lens first. I understand that culture comes first, I know mine does, so I get it, White folks. I believe any person with good sense and love of your culture should do that.
I would say the only difference between me and these White folks and the negro is, if the person is a fool and is not a true representation of what it means to be Black or a good human being, I can’t support them just because he or she happens to be Black… can you say, Clarence Thomas?
Think about this. It wasn’t just rich White people that showed their support of whiteness, the vast majority of that 60% was poor White people, White people that stand to lose as much as the poorest Black person. They didn’t vote for their interest; they voted for their culture. To all you Black, Brown and poor White want-to-be Americans that signed on for your own oppression, let’s see how that works out for you.
I would be derelict if I didn’t talk about how I see them, now this is just me. I believe that the negro so hates his condition and the way White people look at us, he feels that siding with his oppressor and savaging his people somehow makes him less Black or different from other Blacks in the site of White people. This is what Malcolm was talking about when he talked about the House negro and the field Black.
So many of our people just want to be in the house, they want all of the things that affirmed them in the sight of White people. You do know the lawn jockey is always outside the house. They don’t bring it inside.
Now for all you negroes and scared to death White folks that think or feel that I’m being anti- anything, let’s just be honest. What’s really bothering you is to hear a Black man talking pro Black and if that frightens you just maybe it’s because you’re anti-me and that’s okay because I know it’s okay to be Black.
