The gospel of white fascism (Part 17)...Roland Martin, Dr. Umar Johnson, free energy and the secret to winning any game...


Roland Sebastian Martin, was born on November 14th, 1968, in Houston, Texas. After completing middle and high school, Roland attended Texas A&M University, where he received a B.S. in Journalism, and he also attained a master's degree in christian communications from Louisiana Baptist University.

In the 90's, Roland cut his teeth in broadcast journalism on the set of BET's Sunday morning news show, 'Lead Story'. Thereafter, he hosted a morning talk show on 'WVON' in Chicago, and was a contributor to CNN from the years of 2007 to 2013.

For four years, he hosted 'TV One's' news show, 'Washington Watch with Roland Martin' before becoming the face of the station's weekly morning news show, 'News One Now', in 2013.

Dr. Umar Johnson, was born on August 21st, 1974 in North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was the eldest boy of 11 children, and after he attended elementary school, he enrolled in a para-military high school. He then went to summer school in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where he performed mandatory JROTC (Juniors Reserves Officer's Training Corps) duties.

Thereafter, he went to Millersville University, in Pennsylvania, where he attained three degrees. One, a B.S. in political science, another in psychology, and a master's degree in School Psychology. After this, he received an 'Educational Leadership' master's degree and 'Principal's Certificate' from Lehigh University, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Additionally, he received a PhD from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic medicine, in psychology. That makes 6 in all.

Now, on July 10th, of this year, Dr. Johnson was a guest on Roland Martin's news show, News One Now. And with Roland, was a cavalcade of coons, I mean, guest panelists, who are supposedly friends and/or colleagues of his. These panelists were: A. Scott Bolden, an attorney and former Chairperson for the Democratic Party, Eugene Craig, CEO of the Eugene Craig organization and Chairperson of Maryland's Republican party, and Lauren Victoria Burke, who's a news journalist and brand strategist living in the Washington D.C. Metro area.

Now with all that outta' the way, let's go in...

First off, I'd like to say that this was one of the most sickeningly repulsive displays of Black divisiveness I've seen in years. Roland Martin was not only biased in the way he addressed Umar Johnson, but he went out of his way to be abrasive, combative and offensive to a fault. And what made this fracas even more disturbing was you could see, and feel, just how threatened these anglophilic negro panelists were by Umar's challenging their love of white folks.

Right off the rip, Roland questioned whether or not Umar actually had 6 college degrees before Umar unraveled his academic pedigree. Now, for anyone who's wondering whether I checked Umar's collegiate credentials, I'll tell you, I absolutely have not and WILL NOT. Here's why—if any white man came on Roland's show saying he was a PhD, none of those boot-lickin', buck-dancin' anglophilic panelists would've questioned him at all. So as far as I'm concerned, I could care less if Umar has those degrees, cause I only wanna' know about the veracity of his work for our community. Period.

And when Umar posed the question of what white people have done 'systematically', not individually for our people, the panelist of Uncle Remus' and Aunt Jemima quickly called out the 'Civil Rights Act' and LBJ's (president Lyndon Baines Johnson's) 'Economic Opportunity Act' of 1964. Now, let's unpack this nonsense...

The 'Civil Rights Act' of 1964, was part of president Johnson's 'Great Society' american reform package, along with the aforementioned Economic Opportunity Act of that same year. Now, that's what white fascists tell us. But here's what really happened to Black folks under these initiatives: for starters, the Civil Rights Act, or integration period, was a trick played on Black people to get our money into white fascist pockets, cause we were building economic bases that were growing too strong in areas like the 'Black Wall Street' under segregation. So once we bit the bait of integration, we were categorically kept out of america's unions, especially Black men, and relegated to minimum-wage working jobs provided by america's 'Job Corps'.

Basically, this was the plan of white fascists for Black people post-integration: whitey was gonna' allow us the privilege of sitting next to them and drinking outta' the same water fountain they did, while they pocketed the monies we previously spent amongst ourselves. And while they disenfranchised Black men, they offered Black women gov't programs that would take care of their food, clothing and shelter. But there was one condition they held Black women to, and that was they couldn't have a Black man in the house to qualify for these programs. Now—half of Black women didn't go for this. And let me repeat, half of Black women DID NOT accept these programs—they opted to stick it out with Black men, cause there was still some cohesion between us.

Now, I know there's brothas out there thinkin'—yeah, right. You're probably saying, bruh, I know for a fact that sistas sold us out for them benefits, and how could you prove they didn't. Here's how—in the 70's, the collective median income for Blacks in america began to rise, even while we toiled in the trick of integration. So much so, that whitey said, nope, we can't have this. So in the 80's to completely destroy the Black nuclear family, those inbreds came up with the deadly troika that would all but terminate any semblance of community or familial ties amongst us—and that three-headed monster was, 'Reganomics, crack and AIDS'.

We been scramblin' to save ourselves ever since.

Now, one thing I'd like to point out is, out of all of Roland's boot-lickin' panelists, none was more vitriolic and venomous than Lauren Burke. Half the time, this woman wouldn't even let Umar finish an answer to a question, and she, more than anyone else, represented some kind of knuckle-draggin' neanderthal, or someone who was definitely off their meds. And I noticed this woman wasn't wearing a wedding band—Swirling sistas, please take notice. If you're a Black woman reading this who really in her heart of hearts, wants to get her swirl on, then this is the kind of sista you need to have a serious talk with.

Displays like the one Lauren put on with Dr. Johnson are the reason why Black women have such bad reputations with men. Now, I understand there's gonna' be Black women reading this who are thinking, well, why aren't you that hard on the male panelists who sided with Roland? Here's why—cause Lauren's a woman. Understand, women aren't suppose to comport themselves with these levels of aggression, especially if you hold your academic credentials so dear to your heart. Lauren came off like some street-raised savage. Remember, when a Black woman hollers and screams like a maniac at a Black man, it reflects badly on you, not us. Now, I'm not talking about instances where a woman is being attacked by a man, but in this case, Lauren wasn't under any kind of duress that warranted her attitude.

Additionally, every Black person needs to understand that what white and non-Black people see one of us doing, represents what we ALL do, to them. Now, if you don't care how you're viewed by the public, hey, that's on you—but at some point, we've gotta' care about the image we project to ourselves and others. No other group of people air out their dirty laundry in public, and neither should we.

Now, in regards to this interrogation, I'll say that Umar unequivocally bested Roland and his entire panel in terms of socio-politics and historical knowledge. He also handled himself with a poise and finesse that made him look like the living portrait of 'grace under pressure'.

But I was also saddened by this display for other reasons. One is, and you'll have to forgive me for using the 'f-word' again, both Roland and Umar are freemasons. white fascist freemasons at that. If you look at Roland's photo (left), you'll see his hands form a pyramid shape, and this is definitely a freemasonic gesture.

Now, you may be thinkin', bruh, if you know Umar's a freemason, then how could you say you were impressed by his performance in that interview? Here's how...

One great fact about energy is, it's neither good or bad, it just is. And when I listen to Umar, even though he's a freemason, I can take the Black Nationalist energy he expels and use it to better myself and my community at a grassroots level. Thus, the writing of this Blog post.

Moreover, we need to understand why Umar's a celebrity of the conscious community. It's because, white fascists know that their main pillars of Black leadership, namely Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, are getting old and they're not gonna' be with us much longer. So they're grooming Umar to take their place. And even knowing who Umar really is, I'd still pay to see him speak. Cause what I'd be doing, is harnessing the crowd's energy, so I can affect changes in my neighborhood, or just in my household, for the betterment of us all.

Now, you may ask yourself, why in the hell would whitey go through all this just to keep Black folks down? It's cause we have the most genetic power to breed them out of existence, at a time when white birth rates have fallen below replacement levels for the last quarter-century plus.

And speaking of white fascist methodologies, whitey understands that if you control one team of any sporting event, you're definitely gonna' have some influence on the game's outcome. But you're not gonna' be guaranteed to win the game, unless you control BOTH TEAMS. That's their secret to winning any and every game. They control the radical (Umar) and the conservative (Roland).

So in conclusion I'll say, it's time for the Black Diaspora to stop investing in cults of personality, and start looking to ourselves for answers to our problems. Even though people instinctively look for fellowship and leadership, it behooves us to understand that if any 'leader' of our community should fall, that ANYONE OF US is qualified to occupy that position, if we take the initiative to do so.

Remember, before and after a leader becomes a national celebrity, we should have a localized infrastructure in place that can function without them. That's a real democracy. And that's what this country has been promising us all along.

Grassroots organizing people—that's WHAT'S UP!!

Here's the interrogation, I mean, Roland's interview with Dr. Johnson, if you missed it. And if you'd like to see why I think Umar is a freemason, you can find out here.

The gospel of white fascism (Part 8)...3 reasons why Jesse Williams gave his Humanitarian Award speech on BET...(Special Fourth of July Edition)


Jesse Wesley Williams was born on August 5th, 1981 in Chicago, Illinois. His parents, Johanna Chase and Reginald Williams, were professional educators, and dedicated the majority of their lives to teaching in america’s public schools.

Jesse attended Temple University after graduating high school, and during his collegiate career, he modeled to pay for his schooling. He appeared in ads for Kenneth Cole, L.L. Bean and Tommy Hilfiger. He also appeared in music videos. He can be seen as Rihanna’s love interest in the music video for her song, ‘Russian Roulette’, and he appears alongside the singer Estelle in her music video, ‘Fall in love’. After Jesse graduated from Temple University, he followed in his parent’s footsteps and began teaching. Over the course of six years he taught american studies, African studies and English in the public educational system.

In 2005 Williams began to study acting, and over the course of the next decade, he appeared in several movies and TV shows, some of which include: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Law and Order, Greek, Beyond the Break, and most notably, on Grey’s Anatomy.

In 2009 Jesse began appearing in Grey’s Anatomy (GA) on a regular basis, but it wasn’t until 2010 that he became a full-time regular member of the series. In GA, Jesse appeared as Jackson Avery, and after several episodes he was lauded with being number six on Buddy TV’s ‘100 most sexiest men alive’ list.

In between being voted one of the sexiest men alive and starring in an assortment of theater and film projects, Jesse participated in what could be called ‘activist’ initiatives. One of these included being voted the youngest member on the board of directors for a Civil Rights think tank called, ‘The Advancement Project’. In addition, Williams is also the executive producer of an advocacy group called ‘Question Bridge: Black Males’. This is a multimedia project focusing on the Black male identity and promoting ‘diversity’ amongst us.  

Also, in October 2014, Jesse joined millions in the Ferguson, Missouri protests of the police murder of brotha Michael Brown. And in May 2016, Jesse released a documentary called, ‘Stay Woke: The Black Lives Matter Movement’. *Side Note: For those who don’t know, the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement is a government funded initiative serving two purposes: The first, is to get the Black Diaspora involved in a more passively resistant movement and away from more aggressive means of protests like we saw in Ferguson, Missouri. And two: founders of this movement are Black people belonging to the LGBTQ community. Which is another avenue white fascists are using to mainstream homosexuality in the Black Diaspora. At the same time, white fascists are also using this organization to link Black Civil Rights struggles with white gay ones.

Now, any Black person reading this is probably familiar with the speech Jesse gave on BET after winning that show’s ‘Humanitarian Award’. He spoke eloquently and very poetically about the tyrannies of white fascism, and how the Black Diaspora should go about dismantling them.

Many said that night, he struck an awesome blow for the Civil Rights movement…but in regards to that, let’s go straight away into the 3 reasons why Jesse Williams gave his Humanitarian Awards speech at BET…

Reason#3: white fascists are scrambling to replace their elderly Black ‘Civil Rights’ stalwarts, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

Dr. Umar Johnson, who was slated to be the next in line as far as freemasonic Civil Rights leaders go, has already been attached to a scandal, and his message is a bit too radical for mainstream consumption. So white fascists are looking for a more ‘mainstream- able’ Civil Rights leader that’s already been bought and sold. And they’ve decided that man for this generation, is going to be Jesse Williams.

He will essentially fill the void left when either Al Sharpton, or that other ‘Jesse’ associated with Civil Rights, passes away.

Reason#2: Jesse Williams keeps the ‘white savior/Jesus Christ’ paradigm intact.

Now, you’re probably saying: “Wait a minute—Jesse’s not white.” And you’re right. But he’s HALF-white. See, we all need to understand, white fascists know they have to put a new spin on their gaming methodologies, especially in the face of america becoming ‘browner’. Bill Clinton as the first Black president won’t suffice any longer post-Obama. And with Jesse’s exceptionally good looks (by european standards) and his bi-ethnic background, he’s pretty much been tailor-made for the continuance of the white fascist agenda.

In addition, Jesse keeps the minds of church-going and/or church-raised Black population(s) anchored in the Jesus Christ/white savior narrative. This is done so they’ll always think the answer to defeating white fascism comes from a fair-skinned face without, instead of a melanated Black spirituality within.

Reason#1: And the number one reason why Jesse Williams gave his Humanitarian Award speech on BET is…Jesse Williams has been tasked to connect Black power to ‘bi-ethnicity’.

Before Jesse began his BET speech, he thanked his parents. A second later, BET cameras focused on his father Reginald, a Black man, and his mother Johanna, a white woman. A couple of seconds after, BET cameras focused on Sam L. Jackson with some short white woman. And the message white fascists were sending is, the truest way for a Black person to attain power, is by marrying and/or mating with a white person. Point blank, period.

Now, I have no problems with what Jesse said about dismantling the white fascist power structure, but in the context of his bi-ethnicity, it’s actually meant to reinforce reasons why 'pure bred' Black people should not only devalue themselves, but why they should devalue any kind of long-term relationship(s) or marriage(s) with a pure-bred Black person.

Now, a fellow blogging friend of mine sent me a vid where (Uncle) Tommy Sotomayor is making the same points I’m making here. And, the Black man who inspired me to write this Blog, also created a video where he made these same points about the bi-ethnic ‘pretty-boy’, Jesse Williams.

Difference between my message and theirs is, at the nucleus of these two (pseudo) Black men’s talking points is their discourse on the Black Diaspora not being smart enough to see through the white fascist ruse of the Jesse Williams speech. And nothing could be further from the truth.

But, these two serve to show us how Black self-hatred is perpetual. Meaning, in the cycle of Black self-hatred, no matter what the circumstance, you always have to place the blame on Blacks and never acknowledge the white fascist maneuverings in anything. So in keeping with the tenets of white fascism, these two will be kept hating themselves and everyone who looks like them ‘til the day they die. And the saddest part is, they wouldn’t have it any other way.

So, if you’re a Black man or woman reading this, put this message in the context of your ‘Independence Day’ celebration. And remind yourself that what we need a true ‘independence’ from, is the white supremacist conditioning we’ve all been privy to, regardless of whichever social order we're living in.
