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 14^th, 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 21^st, 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 10^th, 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!!

P.S.

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 most insidious effect of the Donald Sterling 'scandal'...

Truthfully, I'm already sick of hearing about the so-called 'scandal' associated with Donald Sterling, the owner of the L.A. Clippers.

Unfortunately, the media won't let this story die. And that's because this story is being used as a mental trigger for the Black Diaspora.

Just like the Trayvon Martin verdict, this story is meant to keep us in a state of constant anger and emotional instability; thus, we react emotionally instead of rationally. And, it's a reminder that the american Black Diaspora are descendants of slaves, which keeps our minds mired in white supremacy (i.e. Donald is the slavemaster, the Black basketball players are slaves and the NBA is the plantation). 

Case in point, there's a brotha I've been conversing with recently about these matters; and I was telling him about the ways he talks so disparagingly about Black people. 

He'll often say that Black people don't think critically and without him knowing it, he'll always attribute the worst character traits to his own kind. 

I told him to stop doing this, lest he turns those thoughts inward and starts subconsciously feeling this way about himself. He agreed I had a point.

The other day he told me when he sees the Black youth engaged in something negative, he immediately thinks about what I said about the subconscious. He went on to say, now he understands why Black people do the things they do; it's 'cause subconsciously, they don't know any better.   

See, he's so mired in white supremacist thought, he's completely perverted my whole argument about the Black Diaspora's self-hatred and how we've been so conditioned to hate ourselves by white people.

He's now using my rationale to continue hating his own kind, and subconsciously, himself. 

I've also noticed he loves to talk about his 'lighter skin'; and just the other day, when we were talking amongst some other people, he confessed to loving the american government. 

Meaning, he's doomed to be a self-hating anglophile for the rest of his life. 

If you've read my last Blog post, I told you how seductive white supremacy is; 'cause it doesn't require any thinking. You just do what whitey tells you to do.

And there's something else I'd like to share about this brotha, even though I shouldn't. 

Over the course of the last few weeks, while this brotha and I were talking, he's confessed two things to me. One, that he's homeless and living with his daughter, and two, that he's a white supremacist freemason. 

Now, let me repeat that; this brotha is a homeless, white supremacist freemason!

You see, this is a clear example of how much the american or white fascist status quo is a dead end for the Black Diaspora!

Whether you're mentally tethered to thoughts of white supremacy or physically tethered to a white supremacist fraternity; the outcome is usually a life relegated to feelings of inferiority and an existence where you're living paycheck to paycheck. 

But back to Donald Sterling...

When I first heard about these goings-on, I thought, okay...another bigoted white man who owns a sports team; what else is new?

But what really incensed me about this whole debacle was the Black Diaspora's reaction to it.

A year or so ago, Uncle Tommy Sotomayor had a fall-out with another fellow who had a show similar to his called 'The Advise show'. And truthfully, this show directly copied from Tommy Sotomayor's format and style. So the fact that they had this contentious beef was laughable. 

Now, to this day, my most popular posts are still the ones I've done about Uncle Tommy Sotomayor; and recently someone told me that both Tommy and The Advise show had videos dedicated to this topic. 

Being that I'm a reformed fan of Uncle Tommy's, I watched The Advise show's vid on this instead. And The Advise show played the audio footage of what Don said about our people attending his team's games. 

For those who don't know, Don was caught saying that he didn't particularly care for the Black Diaspora's  appearance at the stadium; now, he didn't mind having Black athletes playing the game, but he'd rather not sit next to a Black person in the stands.

In response to this, The Advise show's narrator said he was not only outraged at Don, but he was doubly outraged at the Black athletes for not staging some sort of strike against the team and the NBA. And I agreed with him on that point.

Then, he began his diatribe about how Black men are the only type of men who don't revolt in the face of white fascism. And I thought, here we go again with the Black Diaspora's self-hatred rearing it's ugly head. 

For those who subscribe to The Advise show's point of view on this; I'd like to offer a counter analysis of this guy's dumb-founded diatribe. 

In March of this year, Congressman Donald Young (another white male Donald), said of his father who owned a ranch, that: "My father had a ranch, (and) we used to have 50-60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes."

When a journalist asked Marco Rubio, a spanish Florida senator, what he thought about the statement, Marco responded: "I'm concentrating on the Easter holiday (It was close to Easter at the time)...no comment."  

Let me give you an even more absurd example of how other people, besides us, don't challenge the white supremacist status quo. 

In 2006, Japan’s 'Memorial Day Association' declared October 6th ‘Tom Cruise Day’; supposedly ‘cause he’s been the highest profiled american actor who’s made the most trips to the island nation.

Mind you, in 1945, two atomic bombs were dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by people who look just like Tom Cruise...and now they're celebrating a 'Tom Cruise day'?! *shaking my head* 

So you see, forgiving the rapacious nature of white supremacy and its institutions, isn't something that's exclusive to Black people. 

Side note: The 'NAGAS' were not only an ancient Black tribe who ruled in asia, but the very word Naga means divine in our original language the Medu Netcher. Furthermore, this is how the japanese city of NAGA-saki got its name. 

The name 'Naga-saki' translates into the words 'Black snake'...and the chinese actually dubbed 2013 as the year of the 'Black snake'; google this if ya' don't believe me. 

And Mr. Advise show (what a dumb-founded name), also raved about how Black men never physically stand up to white supremacy or take any actions to eradicate it. 

And if you believe this, then let me tell ya' about a brotha named Chris Dorner. 

Chris Dorner was a Navy reserve and L.A. police officer who witnessed how the white supremacist, gestapo like police abused and were abusing people in Black neighborhoods; and in response, he took his gun and shot down several white police officers. 

This was not a Black man who turned a blind eye to white supremacy; he used the resources at his disposal to wipe it out; unlike what Mr. Advise show says about us.  

And I'm not even gonna' talk about the contributions of The Black Panthers in California. 

So, let me reiterate, if the Black Diaspora doesn't find a way to recondition itself out of thinking the worst about ourselves, the white supremacists win and we've lost. 

Now, if you can reconcile hating yourself for being Black, then I'm not talking to you; I'm talking to the brotha and sista who want to make our reality better by healing the rift between us. And this starts with understanding, consciously and subconsciously, how we've been been conditioned more than any other person on the planet to hate ourselves by these white people we adore so much. 

And moreover, if you can reconcile this, you don't deserve the privilege of being born a Black man or woman, and I'd rather you didn't come back to this Blog!

But if you're truly about the work of making Black people love themselves and want to see them returned to a place of prominence, then stay tuned and hang in there with me...I've got more to show you in the posts to come.

If you'd like to read about one aspect of how The Black Panthers worked to the betterment of the Black community, read my former post about Dr. Huey P. Newton here.

P.P.S.

Here's the 'Advise Show' video that inspired this Blog post; and again, if you're a fan of this insipid show, you might wanna' be a bit more selective about what you're watching.
