One thing the Black Diaspora has never seen...

Over the course of the last few years, I've come across my share of YouTube videos about social issues pertaining to Black people. And what strikes me as odd is, amongst Black people outside of america, the prevailing sentiment seems to be that Black americans are the dumbest of the diaspora.

I remember one instance when a Black brit was relaying this to the YouTube audience and one dark-skinned asian person agreed whole-heartedly. Now, with the history of Black brits and dark-skinned asians suffering injustices at the hands of myriad groups of british white supremacists, I was perplexed as to why they felt this way. When I challenged him on it, the Black brit basically said, that's what he was raised to believe. There were a couple of Black Africans who held these beliefs and when I reminded them how there are a good many of our people over there literally starving to death, and if that's the case, why would you call Black americans stupid? They conceded that I had a point. 

There were also a few times where Haitians published these beliefs, and when I reminded these commenters that they spoke french because these are the people who ultimately conquered them, they just kind of dismissed my point. I remember one instance about four or five years ago, when white supremacists had completely devalued Haiti's currency. 

I saw footage of Haitian men flipping through wads of worthless dollars, and the situation got so bad, that a good many of them resorted to literally eating dirt to survive; and the white media had footage of them doing this. But Black americans are idiots?

What I didn't understand about that situation is how Haitian citizens could be so proud of the Haitian Revolution of 1791, as they should be 'cause they defeated Napoleon's armies, but suddenly now, how they're so content to let white supremacists have their way with the island and their people. I guess the answer is during the Haitian Revolution they could physically 'see' their enemy, where as devalued currency doesn't really have a white face attached to it. Moreover, if the citizens of the island aren't the ones who had a hand in devaluing the currency in the first place, I wondered why their rebellious past didn't have them looting the stores to get what they needed. If white people are telling you your dollars are worthless, they're the ones dictating those terms...doesn't mean you have to abide by them. Why resort to eating dirt when you can do what your ancestors did, take up arms and get free. Then, when these same Haitians get to the states, they look down on Black americans and cater to whites like their gods. This still boggles my mind. 

Also, there's the reasoning of Black Haitians, Jamaicans and Africans that Black americans didn't fight hard enough to get themselves out of slavery, which is the excuse they use to diss us; but they fail to realize that the reason they're in america is because white supremacists have made it impossible for them to earn a living in their country. 

And when I related the facts of the recent Haitian crisis to a Black american co-worker, that person stated emphatically that Black Haitians are 'animals'. I just shook my head.

See, wherever Black people are in the diaspora, we may think we're superior to one another based on geography, but the one thing uniting us is the programming we get to hate ourselves in the white supremacist institutions of pre, middle and grade schools.

And if you're a Black man or woman reading this, whatever country you hail from, take comfort in knowing that you've never seen anything or anyone dumber in your life than one kinda' person...and that's a POOR WHITE MAN! 

Now, whether you're a Black Haitian, Jamaican, Brazilian, African, etc., you have to admit that the whole of this world, especially in america, is set up for EVERY white man to win. The white male privilege is alive and well...and being squandered by many a white male on every continent. I don't know about other countries, but in america, the majority of people on public assistance or welfare are white; and it's been that way for decades. This still puzzles me. 

On my way to work I pass scores of broke white men who are homeless or pan-handling in the streets and I'm like, are you that dumb-founded that you don't realize this whole country, continent and world has placed everything in your favor? Did you miss the e-mail that was sent to every white guy saying, if you only have half a brain you can lead a bountiful/wonderful life?

Not one of you can deny that this person exclusively has been given the most chance to thrive in this world, so when you pass one of these inbreds on the streets and they ask you for change, tell them to change their focus, so they can finally see and cash in their white male privilege chip(s)...this goes for gay white men too; 'cause the majority of them don't identify themselves as gay, so they still benefit from the (straight) white male privilege. 

So, again, if you are a member of the Black Diaspora, and you're ever thinking about dissin' one of your own kind in another country, take a minute to ponder the plight of broke white men everywhere...and give that brotha or sista on a different shore a pass. 

You'll be glad ya' did.

Why Black men shouldn't smoke cigars...

Recently, I was mandated to work with an older Black man, who for some unknown reason, felt he needed to show me how much money and status he had. 

Now, unbeknownst to this man, the fact that he was working into his retirement was a tell-tale sign of his inability to impress me with anything. But I understood we wouldn't be working together for long, so I thought, I'd grin and bare it. 

This man even showed me his paycheck with his social security number on it, thinking those figures would impress me. Not only was I unimpressed, but if I were a more nefarious person, I would've made a mental note of his social security number and bankrupted him.   

Anyway, after he flashed me his paltry earnings, he pulled out a cheap cigar and started toking on the thing. My eyes kinda' glazed over as I continued working, that was until he picked up his empty beverage bottle and spit some off-colored liquid into it. 

After that, I got up and left. When I returned he asked, "Does my smoking creep you out?" I said no, I just had to go to my desk to retrieve a document. I thought that would be the end of it, but he lit up another 'stogie' and began toking on that. I then told him I don't smoke, and it did in fact, bother me. 

He then put his 'girthy' cancer stick away. 

I'd been working with this jerk for the better part of four days, and what I learned was this man's mind was completely mired in the american status quo. Meaning, every one of this man's thoughts reinforced reasons why everything white is right. And unfortunately, he'll go to his grave thinking this way.

And, as is mandatory for the overwhelming majority of older Black americans, he despised the Black youth. But that line of thought just follows this man's policies of Black self-hatred. Again, every one of his actions showed how much he loved the very people who kept him poor and made him feel inferior his whole life, and those people are the white elite. 

So, he was really conditioned to dislike me and didn't know it himself. 

And, he thought because white men showed him how they smoked cigars to look and feel powerful, that he'd emulate them. But if he knew, or really loved himself, not only wouldn't he be working for someone else into his retirement, but he'd give up cigar smoking in an instant. 

Here's why...

What this dunce of a man doesn't know is cigars are really meant to represent the Black phallus. Now, if you don't believe me, then let's explore the reasoning behind my theory...

No matter how much a white man might deny it, he knows Black men can breed him and his kind out of existence. So like I said in my previous post, a Black man living anywhere is a threat to white men everywhere. 

And in his desperation to be closer to that kind of power, he inserts a cigar in his mouth (mocking fellatio), lights up his 'stogie' and tries to appear like his phallus has the dominant genetics of a Black man. Unfortunately, this only reinforces what he truly is. The world's most recessive-traited man. He wants to play the role of the alpha male, but intrinsically and instinctively, he knows he never will be. 

That place is reserved for Black men. 

And the fact that white men can't do anything to change this pisses them off. 

So, cigars are all about symbolism (Cinematic Symbolism). And smoking one has essentially become a white supremacist ritual that men the world over have been tricked into adopting. Just like the elder dunce-of-a-Black-man I was working with. 

And I don't need to go into the detrimental health issues these things cause. A couple of these being: giving men a low sperm count (which is always on the white supremacist agenda for Black men), hardening and narrowing of the arteries, myriad lung cancers, etc.

So I'm saying all that to say this...if you're a Black man, PUT DOWN THE CIGAR, 'CAUSE YOU'VE GOT THE REAL THING BETWEEN YOUR LEGS!

And this goes way beyond penis envy. white men would so like to be you, that even though they've got the majority of the world's resources, they'll still sing, dance, dress and talk like you, while trying to make you hate yourself. 

So Black man, LOVE THE SKIN YOU'RE IN!

Cause whether they wanna' admit it or not, every man in this world wants to be able to create any other kind of man, while none of them can create one of him.

AND THE ONLY KIND OF MAN THAT CAN DO THAT, IS YOU!

I LOVE BEING A BLACK MAN!
