Bad Thoughts Talk Episode 4: White History Month and Black Lives Matter
White History Month was my attempt at satire. I understand the influence of white people on the planet isn't wholly negative or an oppressive influence but I do believe that it's very close to being almost entirely terrible and that the capitalist world as we know it, all of the usury and abuse of markets, monetary wealth and the power it can buy has been governed in its truest definition of the word, by the oppression brought about by white people. That oppression has allowed them the time (since they weren't in the fields or cleaning their own homes) to manage and accumulate the exorbitant profits to be free to attempt to be successful and risk failure. Even those Europeans who were discriminated against for a generation or two were able to integrate. I understand that most white people in the United States are victims of these actions as well but they aren't victims of the mindset it creates. Poor whites tend to become the enforcers for their wealthy parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and siblings. Nepotism is something we as minorities have yet to understand. If you want to understand how poor whites have been indoctrinated investigate the Ku Klux Klan, Citizen's Council, and other white supremacy groups including the police department in your city and possibly (if not likely) your local politician.
I have always been hesitant to accept the Black Lives Matter movement. I have watched this episode a few times and I don't like how I argued any of my points; taking notes will benefit me in future episodes and this is a lesson that I seem to want to learn difficultly, but even still I stand by what I have said and will continue to say. The movements outreach is not very evident in black neighborhoods. Boyle Heights is where I reside and Boyle Heights is a neighborhood with one of the highest concentration of latinos (mostly Mexicans) in Los Angeles. One connection I did not make is that the Black Panther Party was aware of what the freedom fighters in other communities were doing and they actually called upon each other for help because they were knowledgeable enough to understand that their struggles were weaved together like the decorative basket in the corner of each of their living rooms. They had both been forced fed the pig but used different seasoning to enjoy their only nourishment.
The Black Lives Matter movement doesn't care about the black lives outside of it. They only care when national attention for their futile cause is ample. That movement isn't interested in even quantifying what their #HASHTAG means and when they do explain it has something to do with educating white people. That irritates me because we're the ones who need the education. I am a person who understands that you cannot decide how another person, especially those trained to police and enslave your stereotype, should react to us as black bodies.
This goes once again back to self-determination. As a black man and a black person I will never EVER compromise my culture to appease societal standards. I understand how to manuever in environments especially those I didn't build but I never mold myself to those environments. I don't fit in. I can't "fit in." I don't even understand what that means.
What I understand from the Black Lives "Matter" movement is that authority figures shouldn't kill black folks because we should be afforded the same rights as a white person in this system. I read commentary about mass shootings and other crimes performed by white people and some black fool says "if that person was black person..." That person isn't black! Do you not understand our history here? I feel that those people only believe rhetoric and do not and cannot understand the white curated documents that you use to bolster your argument against your abuse.
Africans stepped on this soil five centuries ago. In those five centuries we have been mixed and indoctrinated. Our minds have been molded to the ways of capitalists and to the rights of the people who enslaved you. How dare any of these Black Lives Matter clowns (who only care about Black Lives when they're murdered by a white authority figure and not by our own kind which is most likely) claim that they care about Black Lives when they're more focused on educating White people than their own people.
I hear and read a lot of coons giving statistics about how blacks aren't the only race/ethnicity to most likely kill each other. Every race and ethnicity is bound by that statistic. Personally, I understand those statistics differently. In a still highly segregated society more often than not we live in a complicated socially-economically diverse neighborhood surrounded by people who look like us. That explains that statistic (if a black man is in a white neighborhood police are on his ass). What about Black on Black crime? How come none of these Black Lives Matter clowns can answer that question? How come these clowns do not truly understand policing in our neighborhoods or encourage our people to be more involved in this system? These Black Lives Matters mother fuckers truly have a devotion to the system that has ALWAYS oppressed our people.
I'm not about giving up the fight or conceding or ensuring that us as black people always attempt to be the opposite of our stereotype (I'm a real nigga for life). I'm about education of our people period! If this "Black Lives Matter" movement was anything of consequence they would have held true to their battle cry. Just imagine a world where Black lives mattered to Black people.
I feel that the Black Lives Matter movement is media created. That the movement only strengthens white supremacy because instead of dealing with our own people and our needs in our communities they surrender to white subjugation under the guise of activism.
