My views need full clarification before I post the images that support my argument.
I have noted previously how certain Black people today make reference to the streaming assault upon Black folks by White folks in the past as the main basis for their vigilance gainst "White Supremacy". There is not cell in my body that has a desire to suppress the truth about history. In fact - I am an ardent consumer of history as my goal is to understand how the world got to the point that we are presently.
At the same time I have also reported about my observations about how certain Black people make use of history to plant "racist scare crows" throughout the Black community. They would have us more fearful of White ghosts who terrorized our people when they were flesh and bone on this Earth and thus brutalizing our people. These souls are promoted as more threatening than the current Domestic Pirates that are KILLING AND TERRORIZING THE HELL OUT OF OUR PEOPLE TO-DAMNED DAY!!!!
I viewed the first video clip after walking a trail of videos on YouTube. When I see the information contained within this video - again - I am not inclined to want to suppress it one bit. As long as the author is factual - please, let it all out for the world to see. As THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED.
My frustration comes when I don't hear any notation about how successful the Civil Rights Movement was in placing this type of unchecked violence against Black people by marauding White folks in check. We can review the FBI crime stats and see that today the White man IS NOT the biggest treat to the lives of Black people. (And PLEASE - the argument "people kill people of their own race in the greatest frequency IS NOT an argument for anyone to reduce the shameful state of 'Pirate On Black' Homicide).
I get the sense that with some people they feel that if they can get Black folks angry enough at history that this will lead to some sort of pride and resolve that will come over us and UNITE in a fight against our long time enemies.
The flaw in this strategy is that even when the WHITE MAN LEAVES US ALL ALONE IN OUR OWN COMMUNITIES - to run them as we see fit - SINCE the WHITE MAN is the centerpiece of our strategy - the flaws from the lack of ORGANICISM come through and have these plans collapse once the truth that the people see inside comes out.
I am not asking for the Black community to violently respond to the Domestic Pirates who are terrorizing our communities. They are ultimately OUR OWN SONS and thus we would be engaging in civil war.
The problem is that the zone between an all out shooting war and doing absolutely NOTHING but entertaining rhetoric or engaging in redirection (known as the argument of "Derivative Behavior") is the need to MANAGE A DIRECTED OUTCOME.
We already know the pain that is felt by the Black people who have lost loved ones to the modern day terrorizers of our community. These tears were no different than when the White man dragged someone out of the house and his body was found a few days later.
Some way, some how these COSTS of continuing down this same path need to be captured and then put into a reservoir which allows them to be streamed out in a controlled amount over time. Otherwise we see a riot or a running gang war in which a violent gush of emotion is released and the community suffers harm that takes decades to repair.
I am bothered by the attempts of the expert on lynching for his failure to tie these gross actions into the struggle for community safety today. To be clear - he and others are more likely to conclude that "THEY made us who we are today and thus put us in a state in which we are killing each other.
I would love to see a new argument. One that speaks of the intrinsic worth of a Black man and all humanity and then plays these assaults against what is happening today.
Thus the caption of the second "lynching" that happened today in Dekalb County Georgia should say "With all that you know about our history how could you take a Black man, STRIP HIM OF HIS CLOTHES, riddle his body with bullets and then THROW HIS BODY IN THE GRASS for his family to claim him?????"
“Take Back The Black Community Consciousness". It has been hijacked by embedded operatives who don't intend to develop the COMPETENCIES within. We once controlled this consciousness, focusing our activism directly upon our permanent interests. Today the "Malcolm X Political Football Game" has us as starters and some believe that this playing time translates into absolute progress for our people. My goal is to hold our permanent interests in their faces, forcing them to explain their actions.
