C-SPAN "Book TV" ran a discussion lead by author and policy activist David Kennedy regarding the relatively high rate of violence and murders in certain "Black communities".
This is not a post to attack the "White progressives" who were in the room to take up the cause of "the Negro" as he kills himself. They ask themselves "What can WE DO to assist him in stopping this killing?".
Instead I desire to take the key observation that is so frequently heard and apply it to the proper target.
When such gatherings of "well meaning people" take place to discuss "the Negro" those of us who are wary understand that this is merely the "photographic negative" of that which is produced when "Republican candidates" talk about "The Blacks".
We must understand that the differences in the "offensive" that is delivered between White Conservative and White Progressive commentary has nothing to do with the "Black inferiority" that is assumed in common (ie: outside assistance is needed to allow us to govern ourselves). The key difference resides in the engagement model.
The conservative says "You'all Black people NEED TO.............."
The progressive says "WE need to stand together and help you to.................".
Between the two - the prevailing Black consciousness of today is more inclined to see the conservative position as racist and contemptful to Black people. I will not offer any opinion on this matter at this time.
Mr Kennedy Look At The Political Coverage In The Black Press Right Now To See Bigotry Against The Interests Of Black People
The problem that I have with this statement is that it attempts to make an indictment against the entire nation with the underlying assumption that RACISM(!!!) is the driving force motivating this disinterest in 'Another Ninja Who Got Himself Kilt". As such if we abate RACISM(!!!!) then..........."Black people will stop killing each other" because they sense that they are in a more loving environment.
In truth this platform of indictment has the underlying purpose of promoting Progressive-Fundamentalist policies:
- Gun Control - "Take guns out of the hands of our Black males so they can stop killing each other"
- Supplemental Training Programs - "Though we did promise you that when we took over the public schools things would be better, we now need these additional programs to foster Black skills because......Black people learn differently than what the public school systems that were engineered during the Industrial age (where there was abundant systematic racism) are able to deliver to us. You are not a RACIST are you? Well then why do you oppose helping Black people?"
- Jobs Programs - "While we indeed took over the cities on the agenda of labor rights it was 'corporate abandonment' that had them pull out of these cities because they could no longer exploit us as 'wage slaves'. We need federal government jobs programs to put us back to work, countering the racism and exploitation that capitalist market-based job has thrown upon us. Did you see the report that a Black man with a college degree has a harder time finding a job than a White ex-felon?"
The key point that David Kennedy (the author) can't grasp is that if BIGOTRY underlines the reason why the 500 per 10,000 murder rate of young Black males is not a national outrage then it is indeed BIGOTRY that the Black Political Discourse is not talking about it as well.
The assumption at the "Harvard Book Store" was that RACIAL BIGOTRY was suppressing America's response to the unacceptable number of "Ninjas Who Got Themselves Kilt". "More young Black males are murdered each and every year than the number of people killed in the World Trade Center".
The "bigotry" that was not discussed while the C-SPAN cameras were rolling was the IDEOLOGICAL BIGOTRY which allows certain policies and theories and cultural norms to continue unchecked because they are loaded with good intentions that trump effective results. Thus failure triggers a "double down" effect.
When I point to how the "Consumer Social Justice" consciousness fails to develop a platform that can be transferred to assist other 'diasporatic Blacks' who are in far greater need of assistance than are "American Blacks", it also is the case that this consciousness fails to serve as a sufficient platform to fellow American Blacks regardless of if they reside across the nation or a few blocks away.
We see with the coverage of the US Presidential campaign that for the main line Black Press - the antics in the "American Political Domain" is far more important to them than are the issues that David Kennedy is discussing. The news that Philadelphia is the "Murder Capital Of The United States" and the previous knowledge that 80% of these murders are of Black people received only a fraction of the coverage in the Black Press than did the various "racist" statements made by various Republican candidates.
Philadelphia is yet another in the string of "Mission Accomplished Cities", totally dominated by the Democratic Party but with the "protection racket" at hand the Black Racial Services Machine are not inclined to go against the "baby that they have birthed" and note how much their investments have been squandered. Mr Kennedy can't bring himself to see that for them to go against the machine in the city.......they'd functionally have to go against themselves.
We understand that "the White Power Structure" is unwilling to give up its power privilege that they have built up over time. Less discussed is the willingness for the prevailing powers over these cities with the "districts of death" - where Black people happen to live - to yield their IDEOLOGICAL and CULTURAL control so that fewer Blacks can be murdered, under-educated, under-deployed.
The Angry Black Front
 |
| If 805K people can produce 40 homicides while 620K people produce 196........ WHY are we loathed to do a more in-depth analysis about the CONSCIOUSNESS that is fermented in the landmass that is far more proficient in murdering Black people in the very same way that the Post-Confederate South displayed a similar proficiency? What about 'The South" made its "murders of Black people'" SUPERIOR to the killers in Baltimore City? Have You Ever Heard A Civil Rights Pharisee Gloat That ONLY 50% Of The Negroes That Were Lynched 2 Years Prior Got Lynched In The Last Year? Or did they believe that ONE "Ninja Who Got Himself Kilt" Is ONE TOO MANY? Why Are They Not As Passionate In This Cause Today? What Key Element Is Missing For Their Drive? |
Instead we see a "Fight The Power Force" who cast a mighty front. They advocate for "Black Inferiorist" policies but use an "angry face" to proclaim that these are their RIGHTS, per the tenets of "Social Justice".
I am happy that Mr Kennedy has taken the time to "study the Black community". If he were to expand his scrutiny he would see that this "Angry Black Front" is an entrenched, bigoted force that also needs to be confronted. This will be difficult because they stand as the "true spokespeople for The Least Of These". Like a Somalian warlord - no NGO does work inside of their province unless they provide the clearance to do so.
Failure within their ranks is not cause for dismissal.
Instead the the presence of sub-par positions within their areas of control provides further proof to their loyal constituents that "the White man don't want a Ninja having sh#8". This type of "self-immolation" allows them to go forward, never scrutinizing the competency of their leadership (and the prevailing ideology) to develop Black people.
- The demand for admission into "White Schools"
- The demand for Progressive-Redistributionist tax dollars
- The demand for "Civil Rights Protection" which is clearly more political than justified
...........ALL are tacit admissions of their own failures within which they turn into an external front against an adversary as they tap into some Nationalized Social Justice.
Having taken control over the schools in their community yet unwilling to yield many of their ideological tenets (ie: School as a platform for "social justice" distribution and training), their victories in the "Education As The Great Equalizer" distribution center has fallen short of the needs for the Black community. They save face by calling for White other schools to "share the load of poverty" so that the Black local community schools are not over burdened with too many people with the consciousness that they have sculpted poor people.
When it comes to tax redistribution - those same cities that once were bustling centers of "opportunity production" that attracted Black people to leave the oppression of the South have eroded into mere shells of themselves. We see the Civil Rights Pharisees look past the call for the resignation of those who directed the ship into the rocks. Instead they throw up the shields of the protection racket for the elected leaders who they assisted into office. Despite them being advocates for banking regulation by state and federal authorities - when these same authorities seek to take away POWER from those local officials who "were dining when the ship crashed into the rocks" they make sure that "the captain does not vacate the ship", cast out by external forces.
At the same time the insolvent city franchise does not serve as sufficient evidence that their economic theories hurt Black people. This is because they have not vacated their notion that the NATION STATE is ultimately responsible for the provisions of the people. In the face of this local evidence they simply return the volley, making an indictment against the state and the federal government.
As we return back to the "consumer consciousness" that has been inculcated - the "Black man holding the Equal Black Ballot" needs not accept that their theories might be misaligned from their own development interests. They have a BALLOT and can invest it into anyone who offers to "sell them" something that is in line with their present ideological sentiments. The "merchants" who study their antics and "sell them" what they want will stand to profit from their ballots - just as the Koreans merchants profit from their money.
Of all of the three bullet points above the "Civil Rights Violations" against Black people are the most arbitrary and hypocritical element of them all. Simply put - it does not matter that the end result is the same - "An assaulted or murdered Negro" - the attributes of the ASSAILANT determine if a 'Civil Rights Violation' has been transacted against a Black person.
The label "Civil Rights" has become a tool for political indictment, just as the "Civil Rights Pharisee" organizations using the label have similarly gone askew.
Just as David Kennedy claims that America as a whole fails to prioritize the murder of Black Americans - those who can't bring themselves to believe that a Black person is EQUAL enough to commit a "Civil Rights Violation" are similarly guilty of such INFERIORIZATION of Black people. Their knowledge that such equal treatment of a Black assailant would amount to a "self-indictment" they understand that since their own theories and ideology are not at play - their best strategy is to make EXTERNAL INDICTMENTS, proclaiming that any entity that "wants some of this" (the Black Ballot) will play by the rules that "The Civil Rights Pharisees" prefer.
Today "Voter Suppression By Carding Black People" is a greater threat than is Black On Black Homicide.
Do you see what I am talking about Mr Kennedy?
