The Gospel of white fascism (Part 39)...Here's what Serena Williams and Bill Cosby "do not" have in common with white fasicst feminists and the "queer" community...


Serena Jameka Williams, was born on September 26th, 1981, in Saginaw, Michigan, to her father, Richard Price, and her mother, Oracene Williams. Serena is the youngest of their daughters, and shortly after she was born, Rich and Oracene moved the family to Compton, California, where they had Serena learning to play tennis, at the tender age of 3.

Now, while Serena’s parents were the ones who originally coached her, it was another man, Richard Williams (who had no relation to Serena’s dad), that took her under his wing and taught her the finer points of the sport. And when Serena turned 9, her family moved from Compton, to West Palm Beach, Florida, so she could attend the world renowned tennis academy of Rick Macci. Now, Rick’s academy catered to the prodigious tennis student, as well as the professional touring athlete. And Rich, Serena’s father, figured she could get the kind of training she needed to compete on a world-class level, there. Ultimately though, Serena’s father saw how dedicating herself to the academy’s regimen, would mean neglecting her studies and putting severe limits on a young Serena’s social life.

Additionally, Rich stopped sending Serena to junior tennis tournaments when she was 10, even though she had a 46-3 record, on the U.S. Tennis Association’s junior tour, and was ranked # 1 amongst players her age. And the reason Rich did this was, he began seeing the bigoted reactions of white people towards his daughters, when theyd win these championships. So, after hearing enough bigoted and derogatory comments from white folks about his girls, in 1995, Rich decided that he’d coach his daughters on how to play the sport himself, from the safety of their home.

Serena’s first professional match was in October of 1995, when she was just 14, at the “Bell Challenge” in Quebec, Canada—and thereafter, her career went as follows…

Serena’s won 72 career singles titles, 23 doubles titles and two mixed doubles titles. And that includes 39 Grand Slam tournaments. She’s a four-time Olympic Gold medalist, and she’s won more than $88 million dollars in prize monies—more than any other female athlete to date.

William Henry Cosby Jr., we know him as “Bill” y’all, was born on July 12th, 1937, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His mother, Anna Pearl, was a maid, and his father, William Henry Cosby Sr., served as a custodian in the u.s. Navy.

Bill was the class president, as well as the captain of his baseball and track and field teams in middle school. And throughout his high school years, he excelled in sports, but struggled academically. Teachers stated that he was smart, but he was more interested in being the center of attention, than focusing on his studies. So, he left school before graduating in 1956, to enlisted in the Navy. And while he continued playing sports in the armed forces, he got his G.E.D. This led to him acquiring a scholarship to attend Temple University in 1961.

At Temple, he studied physical education, while he ran track and played on the college’s football team. Bill also worked as a bartender, while off campus, and it was there, he learned about his ability to make people laugh, which kept his tip jar full. And that’s when he decided to parlay that skill, into a career in stand-up comedy.

Now, as a stand-up comedian, what set Bill apart, was the fact that his comedic stylings were, for the most part, “ethnically neutral”. Meaning, while Bill’s contemporaries, like Dick Gregory for example, were becoming more outspoken about the injustices that white fascism foisted on the public at large, and Black folks in particular, Bill’s comedy was decidedly non-threatening to a mainstream audience—thus, movie and TV executives were courting him with offers to appear in several projects.

And this led to Bill’s appearances on movies and TV shows like: “I Spy” (1965-1968), “Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids” (1972-1985), Uptown Saturday Night(1974)—and this movie is a bonafide classic y’all, if you haven’t seen it, please do, “Let’s Do it Again” (1975), “Mother, Juggs and Speed” (1976), but I think what Bill will forever be known for, is his role as Cliff Huxtable on “The Cosby Show”, which ran from 1984 ‘til 1992.

Now, when this show originally aired, I refused to watch it, ‘cause the sit-coms characters, seemed more like caricatures of the “perfect” (or perfectly anglophilic) Black family. With the father being a doctor, the mother being a lawyer, and the kids only worrying about improving their grades at school—but, in the wake of shows like “Love and Hip-Hop” and “Basketball Wives”, I gotta’ say, I sure do miss it. And the show Bill put alongside it, which was “A Different World” (1987-1993), had a decidedly more realistic and somewhat more relatable edge—moreover, it actually increased the amounts of young Black people attending universities, in real life. So, I gotta’ say, even though some considered Bill a sell-out, when it came to these shows, he definitely had a method to his madness.

Conversely, what bothered me about Bill, was all the moralizing and finger-waving speeches, he’d give when he was around us, his people—but I’ll get back to that point, a little later in this post…

Now, earlier this month, Serena Williams was defending her championship title at the US Open in New York City, against her competitor, Naomi Osaka. During that game’s second set, Serena was given a code violation, cause her coach was seen on the sidelines, giving her coaching hand signals—which he admitted to. But Serena was upset by the violation, and said her coach was just giving her a “thumbs up”, and demanded an apology from the Chair Umpire, Carlos Ramos (Remember, we don’t have any friends in these people either. And regarding this, you should read my post, “Why Spanish people hate Black americans”, and I’ll leave a link for that editorial, at the end of this one). Serena then received a second violation for breaking her racket on the court, and that resulted in a point being taken away from her. A third violation came behind her verbal abuse of the umpire, after which, she was hit with a game penalty, and lost the match. She then said, the reason she was treated more harshly by the umpire, is cause she’s a woman (more on that later).

Now, unless you’ve been living under a rock, I think you’re already aware of the various rape and sexual misconduct charges that Bill Cosbys been accused of—mind you, the majority of these cases brought against him, most of them from white women, have passed their statute of limitations—cause they happened 30 plus years ago. Nevertheless, Bill attorneys did such a good job defending him in the federal and state court systems, that these good, morally upstanding, white women, figured they’d have a better chance convicting “Cos” in Civil court.

And they were right—cause on the 28th, of this month, “Cos” was sentenced to 3 to 10 years in state prison. Mind you, he wasn’t convicted of the original charges brought against him, like: drug facilitated sexual assault, sexual battery, child sexual abuse, or sexual misconduct—what he was convicted of, is 3 counts of “aggravated indecent assault”.

Now, I have to ask this question: have you ever heard of a more ridiculous charge?

But, let me say straight off fam, that I have no empathy or sympathy for what Serena and Bill are going through. Why, you ask? Well, that’ll bring us to what these two “DON’T” have in common wit’ white feminists or the white “queer” community…

And they are...

#1. Just cause you’re a Black person wit’ money, don’t mean you’re a full-fledged member of the “caucasian club”.

Now, more than anything else, this is what Serena and Bill forgot. Mind you, while Bill was giving all those finger-waving and moralizing lectures to Black folk, and Serena was marrying the great white hope, they thought somehow, they were exempted from the travails that us common Black folk face.

So, when they got that “wake-up call” recently, that shroud of white acceptance was stripped off, and they stood there embarrassed (in-bare-ass) and perplexed at the fact that they were no longer america’s sweethearts—and shocked to find out, they never were.

#2. Unlike the queer/LGBTQ/homosexual community, Black people don’t have a closet to jump into.

Over the course of the last couple of years, I’ve come to see that Black people have been conditioned into accepting the queer lifestyle, and some have gone as far as saying, that being gay is just like being Black.

Welp, if for no other reason that the one above, as a Black man or woman, you can never equate your struggle to theirs—and behind this fact, queers should quit asking us to include them in our “Civil/Human Rights” struggles.

Now, understand what I’m not saying—I’m not saying that you should hate a gay person for being gay, I’m saying that not only can’t you hide your ethnicity like they can hide their sexuality, but their lifestyle is unnatural to the point of being a “death-style”. And the mainstreaming of homosexuality, especially to Black folk, has more to do with making sure we don’t create more “pure-bred” Black children, who’ll have the most genetic power to breed white folk out of existence.

#3. Understand, as a Black man or woman, there’s not only a “double standard” working against you, there’s a “triple standard”.

Meaning, in no way, shape, or form, will you as a Black person be seen by the overwhelming majority of white people, as anything but a threat. And let me break this down a bit further—even though tennis athletes like John McEnroe were famous for their angry outbursts, which included throwing his racket and actually cursing out umpires, he never lost a game behind it, like Serena did (And I’ll show you a video of that to bring this point home). 

And more erroneously, Serena said that the only reason she was put through this, is ‘cause shes a woman—well, in regards to that, I got one question: where’s all the white feminist groups, and the #METOO movements spokeswomen, to speak up on her behalf? 

I’ll tell you where they are, they’re organizing so they can make sure they vote for Donald Trump in the upcoming election. Cause if you didn’t know, the biggest demographic supporting Trump in this country, was white women.

And in regards to the “Cos”, notice that Harvey Weinstein, Charlie Rose, Matt Lauer, Kevin Spacey, white pedophile priests, etc. aren’t going to jail—but he is. And that should say it all, y’all.

So, to the legions of Black “Swirlers” out there, understand, that in your liberal circle of white friends, they might see you as their equal, but when a white cop pulls your Black ass over, know that all that “special” treatment’s gonna’ go out the window—and don’t take my word for it, just ask Henry Louis Gates Jr. 

And to break it down even further, the moral of Serena and Bill’s story is: Black man and womanDON’T FORGET WHO YOU ARE! Cause once you do, whitey will be more than happy to remind you of your place in his social order.

And like Sam L. Jackson said in Spike Lee’s movie, “Do the Right Thing”: “That’s the double truth, Ruth.”

Here’s a vid clip of the tennis star John Mcenroe not only throwing down his racket, but literally cursing out an umpire—notice he doesnt lose the game behind his actions.

Here’s Bill Cosby’s infamous “pound cake” speech, where he’s admonishing Black folks for their moral obtuseness. Well fam, always remember what they say about people in glass houses…

The Gospel of white fascism (Part 38)...the art of "Searching" for "Crazy Rich" asians...

 

The movie, “Crazy Rich asians” (CRA), was released in theaters on August 15th, 2018, and is based on the novel of the same name, written by the asian author, Kevin Kwan. Now, the narrative of both the book and film, go something like this: Rachel Chu, one of the story's protagonists, agrees to attend the wedding of her man-friend's best buddy, Colin, who lives in Singapore.

Nick, Rachels man-friend, while in Singapore, introduces Rachel to his family and Nick's mother takes an instant disliking to her. This happens cause Nick's mom believes Rachels a gold-digging peasant, due to the fact that Nick was born into one of asia's richest families. And unfortunately for Rachel, Nick never told her this. Now, Nick tells Colin, he plans to propose to Rachel, but Colin sees the turbulence that's gonna' cause in his future, due to Rachel coming from humble/working class beginnings (reference the fairy tale/movie(s): “Cinderella”, “Pretty Woman” and “Maid in Manhattan”).

At some point Rachel and Nick have a falling out, due to Nick's disapproving family—and at another point, they reconcile. And ultimately, they wind up throwing a “crazy rich” engagement party, after which, I guess, they live happily ever after.

Now, having read this, I hope you picked up on the fact that I can't stand “rom-coms” (romantic-comedies), or the hyper-sentimentalized types who watch them. But in regards to Kevin Kwan's books, what I didn't know is this: the CRA novel, is part of a trilogy—with the other 2 book titles being: “Rich People Problems”, and “China Rich Girlfriend”.

By now, you should've picked up on the fact that all 3 of these tomes, have the word “rich” in their titles. And a little later on in this post, I wanna' mos def take a look at Kevin's “China Rich Girlfriend” novel, and put that under a bit of a microscope. But for now, let's move on...

The movie, “Searching”, is a thriller released in theaters on August 24th, of this year, and it focuses on an asian father (Dave Kim), who relentlessly looks for his daughter after she goes missing. And what makes this flick unique, is the father's obsessive search is done, almost completely, on smartphones and computer screens.

Now, unlike the syrupy-sweet CRA, I have seen the movie Searching. And I can say, it's well-done. But another thing I'd like to point out is, this flick was “green-lit” behind the success of CRA—and one more fact worth noting is, how I can't, in good faith, recommend that any Black man or woman go see this film. And that's cause there's so much negative “Cinematic Symbolism” throughout this flick, in regards to how we are portrayed.

And there's 3 scenes, in particular, where this happens—so let me break those down right quick...

Scene#3: white female detective standing in front of ex-cons 

There's a moment in this flick, where the white female detective (Rosemary Vick) who's helping Dave find his daughter, has her past accomplishments televised. And in that montage, there's a segment detailing how she started a humanitarian initiative that helps ex-cons find work. Then, what's shown is a picture of her in front of the aforementioned ex-cons—and prominently displayed on her right side, directly behind her, is a Black man wearing a hard hat, at a construction site. Now, mind you, there's white men standing behind her too, but the men are situated in such a way, that features the Black man as the face of america's “ex-cons”. And, since this movie makes it clear, that Dave's family didn't fraternize with Black folks, when you see one, they stand out like they're spotlighted.

And for future reference, what whitey loves doing, is placing us in the background of a movie scene, whenever something dangerous or negative happens. Cause when that's done, the negative connotations whitey wants affixed to us, are more easily inserted into our subconscious. And this happens cause, with one of us in the background, your conscious mind is less aware that you're seeing a Black personbut your subconscious sees the whole of any picture. Remember, movies are one of the most effective tools for conditioning the masses, cause when you're eating in a darkened room, you're more relaxed and your conscious guard is down, thus, your subconscious is more susceptible to whitey's “programming”.

Also, this was the reason TV broadcasters used to call the hours between 6pm and 8pm “prime-time”—cause after folks worked, came home, and ate a meal, they'd sit in front of their TV (mind you, this was in the days before the “internet” boom, y'all). And after having that meal, their minds were in a more relaxed state, thus, their subconscious would be more receptive to TV advertising.

Scene#2: Interrogation room scene 

Now, there's another scene in this flick, where Rosemary Vick, is interrogated to find out if she might have something to do with the abduction. And besides the interrogation room being dark, the detective interviewing her is a Black man, who's wearing all Black, while Rosemary dons a dolorous frown, beneath a disheveled mop of brunette hair.

And, what whitey wants most out of these scenes, is for them to reinforce the pre-programmed triggers in our subconscious, that connect the word Bad with Black.

Yadig?

Scene#1: Black TV Anchorwoman, breaks some bad news 

Now, the most egregious of these scenes, by far, involving our people, is one where a Black Anchorwoman breaks the news about Dave's daughter possibly dying. And once again, I'll say, there's such a dearth of our people in this movie, that when one of us appears, they're in stark contrast to everything else. And let me reiterate, the only time one of us shows up in this flick, is under a state of absolute duress. 

Moving on...

Now, I remember in my freshman year of high school, I was in an english class with yet another covertly bigoted white man, for a teacher. And mind you, this class was comprised of mostly young Black men and women, like myself. And after we took one particular test, this teacher decided to read all our scores out loud, so he could show us lazy negroes, that one of the only people who passed the test was an asian girl. Now, this was my, and our, indoctrination into the stereotype of asian people being harder working and smarter, than everyone else—especially, us lazy negroes.

But there's 3 facts, this idiotic bigot bastard of a teacher, failed to tell us about asians in america—and those are...

Fact#1: There's nothing in america's public school curriculum, that's making asians hate themselves and everyone who looks like them. 

Now, this is the most vital factor in what makes our young people, especially our young Black men, hate school. For example, in this same english class, we were reading the book, “A Hero Ain't Nothin' but a Sandwich”. And for anyone who's read this book or seen the movie, you know it's about a young Black man who gets hooked on heroin, while living in abject poverty—and that pretty much sums up what young brothas and sistas learn about themselves in the american (mis)educational system—well, let me take that back, we also get taught that our ancestors were slaves for 400 years. And those lessons usually end with narratives about the Civil Rights Movement (trick), and the white fascist freemason, Martin Luther King Jr. 

Fortunately for me, I found out that 90% of the TransAtlantic Slave Trade narrative was PURE FICTION—just like everything else I was taught about my people in american schools. 

Also, I'll never forget how Dr. Huey P. Newton, the brotha that started the revolutionary group, the “Black Panthers”, said of his grade school experience, that he didn't know what he did not like about being Black, all he knew is that he didn't like it. And this came out of Huey's autobiographical book, "Revolutionary Suicide". And I think that tome is a mandatory read for every Black man and woman viewing this post.

Moreover, this is why I wrote a post detailing how a Black parent can go about homeschooling their children. And I'll leave a link to that post, at the end of this one.

But when anyone talks about why young Black men, don't wanna' go to school, it has nothing to do with them not wanting to learn, and everything to do with them not wanting to embrace and endure, years of being in an institution that makes them hate themselves. And like I said before, this doesn't mean they're stupid, rather, it shows they're innately smart.

Fact#2: asians-americans were given billions of dollars in “reparations” money. 

Now, I'll never forget the scene in the Spike Lee movie, “Do the Right Thing”, where one of 3 older men, who routinely sit on a neighborhood corner, says of a Korean store owner, who opened his store after a single year of being in america, that “...either them Koreans are freakin' geniuses, or you Black guys are just plain dumb.”

Welp, if you believe this narrative whitey gave us, then you have no choice but to feel that way. Fortunately though, being a curious type of fellow, I know why asians have an easier time opening up retail stores in our neighborhood, than we do.

And one of the main reasons is this: in 1988, President Ronald Regan, signed into law something called the, “Civil Liberties Act”—now, this piece of legislation not only came with an apology, for the american gov't putting asians into “internment camps” after the bombing of “Pearl Harbor”, but behind this, each individual camp survivor got $20,000 in reparations money, for their “suffering”. Mind you, (most of) these asians were only in these camps for 4 years.

Now, how long did this gov't tell us our people were slaves in this country? 

Anyways, all in all, asian-americans were given $1.6 BILLION dollars of reparations money—yep, that's BILLION with a “B”. 

Now, question: How much money did our people receive in reparations? 

You got it—NOT A DAMN DIME!

But whitey's not gonna' tell us america's been unfair to Black folk—cause he wants us to follow the narrative, just like my 9th grade teacher did, that asians are much smarter and harder working, than us shiftless, dumb-founded negroes. 

Also, when I was growing up, I remember that a stretch of stores in my neighborhood, were almost completely owned by Black people, whether they were american citizens, or they came from the islands (Jamaica, Haiti, etc.). Within a decade, half those stores were owned by asians, and the other half were owned by latinos. 

And that leads us to this...

Fact#3: Black people applying for business loans are rejected at more than double the rate of everyone else. 

Journalists at the “Washington Post” newspaper, found in a study, that Black applicants for loans, are rejected at more than double the usual rate for every type of loan, up to and including, ones for opening a business. Actual stats say: the rate of business loan denials amongst Black americans, is 19.3%, as opposed to asians and latinos (combined), which came in at 9.6%, and finally, whitey's denials came in at 7.9%.

And mind you, anyone who thinks that Black people are rejected more for loans, cause we're less qualified to get them, should note how stats bare out, that Black people who earn more money that their white counterparts, are still twice as likely to get turned down for a loan. And I'll write a post about that in the future. 

So, this ain't just Black folk saying: “...this only happens to us, cause we Black”. This is proof positive, that the fix is in, cause of our skin.

Now, I know I said I'd only list 3 facts that weren't given to my 9th grade class, by that inbred bigot of a white teacher—but let's go for 4.

Fact#4: whitey envies the business acumen of Black americans. 

Now, you might be thinkin', what business acumen? Black people don't own nothin'.

Welp, if you've ever heard of the “Black Wall Street” in Tulsa, Oklahoma, you know that this was an area of the country where Black people had their own supermarkets, bus lines, airplane fleets, banks, etc. And, in the early 1900's, we were thriving so much financially, that we were outpacing whitey in some business sectors—that's why whitey bombed the Black Wall Street in 1921. And even after that, we built those businesses back up in 5 years.

Mind you, there were several Black communities like this at the turn of the 20th century. So whitey knows what we're capable of when we work together, like we did under segregation. That's why he's so reluctant to give Black americans, business loans. And mind you, Black americans performed so well under segregation, that whitey not only created the integration laws, to get us away from our businesses, but to this day, they'd rather give a business loan to a Black African, Haitian, Jamaican, etc., instead of a Black american, cause he knows how gangsta we can be on the financial tip, when we're unified.

Moving on...

Now, getting back to Kevin Kwan's book, “China Rich Girlfriend”, and the fact that Kevin consistently uses the term “rich” in his tome's trilogy—let me just say, we've been sold a bill of goods that tells us about the thriving prosperity in asia—but I'd like to introduce 3 facts to this narrative to see how “rich” asians, and specifically, the chinese really are.

Fact#1: More than half of China's population, lives below the poverty line.

The World Bank, which did a study on China's economy in 2010, revealed that almost 360 million Chinese people, live on less than $3.10 a day.

Fact#2: 200,000 Chinese citizens don't have access to electricity.

Fact#3: Close to 70 million of China's people, earn an annual income of $2,300 yuan (which is $376 dollars a year, y'all)

Now, I know I said 3 facts, but let's go for 4...

Fact#4: Over 6 million Chinese don't have access to clean fuel to heat their homes or cook with.

Now, while Kevin and all the other lackeys of global white fascism, tell us how “crazy rich” Chinese folk are, these are the kinda' primitive conditions the majority of them suffer through.

So, let's contextualize this info. with 3 mo' facts about how the rest of asia is fairing financially...

Fact#1: The contient leading in rates of world hunger, is asia, NOT AFRICA!

According to the "Borgen Project", which is a not for profit organization, 227 million people are said to be living in conditions of famine in Africa, as opposed to 552 million in asia. Now, I remember growing up and watching several “UNICEF” sponsored commercials, that showed African children with bloated bellies and flies swirling around them in states of extreme famine. But according to stats, UNICEF should have showed more of these commercials featuring asian children, cause they outnumber the amounts of our people living in those conditions. And the only reason they didn't, was UNICEF, and organizations like them, were tasked by white fascists, to give our people images that would make us hate ourselves and everyone who looked like us.

Fact#2: According to the “World Vision” organization, poverty in asia's urban areas is increasing, not decreasing.

Fact#3: Understand, all this is happening while the western powers (america and europe especially) are giving asians billions of dollars in reparations, and while america ships all of its manufacturing jobs to asia (that's what whitey calls affirmative action, y'all).

And again, I know I said I'd only give you 3 mo' facts, but let's go for 4...

Fact#4: Every Black man and woman reading this should understand that the reason asians are getting all these affirmative action dollars, is cause out of every kind of non-white person, they (fair-skinned asians especially) have the least amount of genetic power to breed whitey out of existence.

And ultimately, this is why asians are being portrayed as smarter, harder-working and “crazy” rich.

Lastly, here's an ad that's currently hanging on a wall, in a “Dominoes” Pizza retail store (right). And I took this picture on my phone's camera. Now, this image is brimming with symbolism, that's ultimately saying one thing: the reason the phrase “Oh, yes we did”, which comes from the vernacular of Black people, is above the pic of the fair-skinned asian child, is cause (like I keep saying) the gold standard of cultural currency, is “Black Street Cred”. And this, more than anything else, is what whitey's using to sell products. And to make it plainer, this pic is really saying, “Black Cool Points” are more bankable, than any asian's cultural stereotypes or credentials.

Hell, even putting the word “crazy” before an adjective, comes from our vernacular (crazy big, crazy cool, etc.), so asians are also copying our style.

So, I've said all that to say this: asians ain't crazy rich, they're crazy poor y'all!

And to put it in more layman's terms, they CRAZY PO' fam!

So, as a Black person reading this, you should under no circumstances, let whitey lie to you about the exaggerated work ethic or intelligence, of any asian person, or group of asian people.

And like Sam L. Jackson said in Spike Lee's movie, “Do the Right Thing”: “That's the double truth, Ruth.”
