The Gospel of white fascism (Part 40)...Donald Trump, gov't shutdown(s), falling incarceration rates, the criminality of Black economics, and the acculturation of drawing order outta' chaos...


“It’s been a long time, I shouldn’t have left you without a strong rhyme to step to, think about all the weak shows you slept through—time’s up, I’m sorry I kept you.”
—Rakim, from the song, “You know you got soul”

“The rift between Black men and women is irreparable, and the campaign to save the Black family is officially dead.”
—a comment made on my Blog, by a “Pro-Black” sista, named Monique, in 2014

“…THERE IS NO RECONCILIATION WITHOUT ATONEMENT; until they (Black women) can confess to and suffer the consequences of screwing us (Black men) over, there’s no use in talking about ‘Black Love/Black Unity’.”
—a comment made on my Blog, by a (brilliant) young brotha, who’s a “Black Men’s Rights Activist”, named “Kev” in 2017.

To the readers of this Blog: Beyond apologizing for letting life “thangs” get in the way of my obligation(s) to post weekly editorials here, I must confess, that sometimes, I feel like a fool for betting on (as corny as it sounds) “Black Love”. And mind you, the above comments (with the exception of the song lyric), are only the tip of the iceberg, when it comes to the glacier-sized insidiousness of our people’s self-hatred. But trust me when I say, that even though I consider these comments to be completely erroneous, I definitely see where this brotha and sista are coming from.

And with that said, here’s why I can’t subscribe to their points of view…

Now, this is the part when you’re probably thinkin’, okay, he’s about ta’ wax philosophic on looking at Black dysfunction(s) in the context of the white fascism that created them—or, he’s gonna’ preach a sermon ‘bout the importance of home-schooling our children…

Actually…no.

At least, not right now. *smiles*

But I will admit, that the reason I’m ultimately bettin’ on US is, I’m a bit biased. And let me expound on what I’m talkin’ about, ‘cause I’d be doing the family a disservice If I didn’t say this about myself. I grew up with Black parents who stayed married for 40 years. Mind you, their marriage wasn’t a blissful love affair throughout—actually, it was quite rocky at times, nevertheless, the “Black Love” (again, for lack of a better term) paradigm, is one I saw modeled in front of me, for the greater part of my life. So, when it comes to the prospects of Black men and women being together, I know it’s possible—mind you, not entirely probable, but possible. I do understand that the majority of modern-day Black men and women, want nothing to do (romantically) with other Black men and women. So, if you’re an indigenous Black person reading this, who genuinely wants to be in a relationship with one of your own kind (mind you, not in the context of being with the same sex) then you must understand, it truly will be a needle-in-the-haystack search. 

I also understand that the overwhelming majority of people who read and/or comment on this blog, are coming from a household that looked nothing like the one I grew up in. Mind you, I’m not saying that to gloat or boast about my homelife, but I will say, because of my upbringing, that my thinking (especially about US) is different.

Meaning, because I saw a Black man and woman together for most of my life, it doesn’t seem like such an idealistic pipedream for me. Conversely, I still do understand that there’s an element of idealism I’ve gotta’ maintain, if I endeavor to date and possibly marry a woman who looks like me.

Now, I also wanna’ comment on one fundamental part of the whole Black self-hating experience/experiment—and it’s the one I find the most distressing—it’s when any brotha or sista has the audacity to say…

I don’t know what it is about Black people, that makes us unable to work together like everyone else.

And let me just say, if you subscribe to this point of view, then you are wHITEY’S “PERFECT VICTIM”.

Why, you ask?

Here’s the answer...

If you as a Black person, don’t realize, on some level, that we have been worked on more than any other kind of person to hate ourselves and everyone who looks like us, cause we have the most genetic power(s) to breed whitey out of existence, than you (as a Black man or woman) have been SLEEP-WALKING YOUR WHOLE DAMN LIFE!

Meaning, when a Black man or woman utters this sentiment, and doesn’t understand why we’re seemingly more dysfunctional than other folks, I just shake my head—cause I’m thinkin’, which country have you been livin’ in for the past few decades?

To me, these people are like abused children, who don’t realize they’ve been abused. Or better yet, they’re like MK-ULTRA (mind-control) victims who’ve been programmed with psychic “alters” around their trauma, so they can consciously forget what’s been done to them.

Like I’ve said in the past, NONE OF OUR DYSFUNCTIONS ARE NATURAL TO US!! NONE OF ‘EM!! THEY’VE ALL BEEN CONDITIONED INTO US BY THE wHITE FASCIST SOCIAL ORDER(S) WE LIVE IN!

MEANING: NO OTHER GROUP OF PEOPLE ARE TAUGHT THAT THEY’RE THE DUMBEST, UGLIEST, AND POOREST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, BUT US!

AND IF YOU DON’T KNOW THIS, YOU’RE DOOMED TO HATE YOURSELF AND EVERYONE WHO LOOKS LIKE YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!

Now, is this an excuse for us to stay in our dysfunctions?

HELL NO!

But the first step in resolving any problem, is knowing that you indeed have one—and KNOWING ITS CAUSE!

Mind you, I was speaking to a brotha on this very same topic, and he told me that he knows what whitey did to us—before telling me, straight out: “I don’t care about the cause!”

So, what he (and other Black folks like him) are doing, is giving whitey a pass for all the dastardly things he’s done to our people. Needless to say, I’m not around that guy anymore.

And it’s with this (sentiment) in mind, that I’m writing about what really inspired Don Trump (and his white fascist handlers) to shut the american government down. Also, I recently came across an interesting factoid that I must share with the family: american census bureau data from the years of 1994 til’ 2006, shows that incomes of Black americans, surpassed those of white americans in Jamaica, Queens, NYC.

And this is the community I grew up in.

Additionally, being from Jamaica, Queens, I remember going to school with Damon John who created the “FUBU” fashion line. And I recall actually seeing LL Cool J, Run, from “RUN-DMC”, and being old enough to realize that Ja Rule lived 20 minutes from my house—and so did Irv Gotti, the music executive behind “Murder Inc.” records. And mind you, I’ll leave a link for the New York Times article(s) that’ll corroborate my community’s economic status.

Moreover, I remember attending high school in Jamaica, Queens, and how I was taught by a white teacher, that asains (especially fair-skinned asians) were harder working (and smarter) than my people would ever be. Mind you, I recently came across another article proving that asians are the poorest ethnic group in NYC (and I’ll leave a link for that too). And these kinds of economics are the central issues I’ll be tackling in this post. And might I add, looking back on this info. infuriates me, ‘cause if facts like these were readily available to me and my friends (like crime was on the local news), so many lives in Jamaica, Queens could’ve been saved behind us feeling empowered by our community’s financial state(s) of grace.

With that said, I’m askin’ (one mo’ time), for your kind indulgences, behind this post running a bit longer than usual and behind this topic being a bit dated. And as always, I’m writing wit’ y’all in mind, so I’ll do everything I can to make this a comfortably fluid read. And once again, I encourage your feedback, as this space was created to not only give a voice to our problems, but to offer solutions to them.

And lastly, for the intrepid amongst you who made it a point to visit my Blog while I was away, I say (again), thank you, thank you, and THANK YOU!

Gordon Parks, the quintessential portrait of an indigenous Black renaissance man (meaning, he was a writer, photographer, musician, and film director) wrote and directed his film, “The Learning Tree”, in 1969. Now, this movie was based on Gordon’s novel of the same name, and it’s basically a retelling of the travails Gordon himself suffered, growing up as a young Black man in a small Kansas town in the pre-Depression era of the 1920’s. Mind you, having seen this movie, a couple of times, I can say that it’s a quaint dramatization of living under the tyrannies of white fascism, but Gordon was smart enough to realize that something was amiss with this flick.

And he came to this conclusion after the Melvin Van Peebles movie, “Sweet Sweetback’s Badass Song” hit theaters in 1971. Gordon saw that Sweetback (played by Melvin himself), was a brotha who dared to beat up corrupt white cops and think he could get away with it—and did at the movie’s end. Gordon also saw how Sweetback got mad love from brothas and sistas on the street, ‘cause he was a man who refused to shuffle and buck-dance for whitey. Gordon also dug how Sweetback’s movie persona gave us some pride. And as Melvin himself said, “I wanted my people to leave that movie with their heads up.”

Thus, taking a cue from Melvin, Gordon came out with the film “Shaft” in 1971. Now, the movie Shaft took a 180 degree turn from “The Learning Tree’s” (TLT) narrative, insomuch as John Shaft was not only a one-man army who took on white mobsters, but he defeated them at the end of the flick. And again, this was in stark contrast to the Black townspeople of TLT, who seemed altogether deflated and defeated. Now, Melvin’s “Sweetback” and Gordon’s “Shaft”, are the 2 movies that kicked-off what was known as the “Blaxploitation film” era of the 1970’s. And some of those flicks had names like “Hitman” (1972), “Black Caesar” (1973), “The Spook Who Sat by the Door” (1973), “Three the Hard Way” (1974), ”BuckTown” (1975), etc. And the common theme running through all these films were Black men beating the hell outta’ white cops, or any other kind of white male authority figure. Additionally, these films saved the failing american movie studios in the early 70’s.

Now, these films weren’t only a source of entertainment, but they gave a lot of Black people, and Black men especially, boatloads of inspiration to stop being abused by white bosses and get better jobs, or to start creating their own independent businesses, period. Now, even though whitey was caking off behind our patronage of these kinds of movies, he was thinking, wait a sec’—if these people see too much of these flicks, they might stop fantasizing about retaliating against white cops, and start taking up arms against us. That’s when white fascist freemasons like Jesse Jackson, coined the phrase “Blaxploitation”, and gave it to these movies for the expressed purpose of getting rid of them. Which they eventually did.

Mind you, those films were but one factor that contributed to the median household income of Black americans nearly doubling in the 1970’s. The fact that more of us were obtaining college degrees also gave our collective salaries a boost. And there’s tangible research to back this up by organizations like the “Economic Policy Institute”, who crunched the data and showed that during the years of 1968 until 1979, the “inflation-adjusted” annual income of Black americans increased by 42.8%, and mind you, that slightly outpaced typical income growth for white households during that same period, since their increases only totaled 36.7%. To top all this off, the song “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now”, by the singing duo, McFadden and Whitehead, encapsulated the aspirational zeitgeist and upward mobility of Black americans of that era.

And, as a matter of course, this scarred whitey’s fascist sensibilities. Thus, in the Reagan 80’s, we got the lethal troika of “Reaganomics”, Crack and AIDS, to eradicate any progress our communities had made.

Fast forward to 2018—Now, instead of Reagan, we got good ol’ Don Trump shutting down the american gov’t behind Dixiecrats, I mean Democrats, and Republicans being unable to resolve an ongoing standoff regarding Trump wanting $5 billion dollars to build a border wall to keep undocumented latinos out. Hey, serves Julio and ‘em right for thinking they’re “whiter” than us.  

Now, no diss to the twenty-somethings out there, but it’s times like this when I think, man, I’m glad I’m older. Reason being, is wisdom affords middle-aged folks like myself, an even-temperedness and conflict-resolving temperament that only comes with age. Meaning, I recognized this “border wall” dispute for the white fascist maneuvering against Black folks that it really was. So, I instinctively knew that if whitey’s engaging in these kinds of destabilizing methods, 3 things must be happening—and those are:

#1. Crime rates must be down.

#2. The collective income of Black americans must be up.

#3. And lastly, more Black americans must be going to college.

But ultimately, this was just a collective hunch, until I could back it up wit’ some research—so, here’s 3 mo’ facts I found when I did just that…

#1. In the case of overall crime rates in america, according to FBI stats, violent crimes have fallen 49% between 1993 and 2017—and according to the “Bureau of Justice Statistics” (BJS), violent crimes fell 67% during these years. Additionally, FBI stats say “property crimes” have fallen by 50%, and BJS stats say these crimes have fallen by as much as 69% during the same time. Mind you, property crimes include burglary, theft, and motor vehicle theft—and they’re far more common than violent crimes.

Now, scores of statisticians have waxed philosophic about what brought this dip in crime about. And some common, working-class folk are reluctant to believe these stats saying, “Crime ain’t down in my neighborhood.” But regardless of what anyone believes, the bottom line is this: less crimes, means less arrests, which might mean less incarcerated Black men—and that’s surely a problem for white folks and fascists everywhere. However, I’ve come up with my own theory, and it goes a little something like this: 2 things are contributing to (Black) crime rates falling so precipitously, and those are…

A. More than anything else, the explosion of white drug use in america (a.k.a. the “opioid epidemic”) has swelled america’s prisons with more white inmates at alarming levels. Understand, the same drug laws that put Black men behind bars for multiple years, are now being used to sentence their own kind—so whitey’s being forced to concentrate more on whitebois in a system set up for Black men—but instead of pointing this out, they’d rather cover it up by saying crimes, where we usually find them (in Black neighborhoods), are down. And truth be told, the majority of drug use in Black neighborhoods involve us selling narcotics to the whitebois coming to our ‘hood to get ‘em—even though stats bear out, whitey’s the ones doing the majority of the drug selling too.

B. Under the Barack Obama presidency, unemployment rates dropped by 4.8% overall, and the economy gained 11.6 million jobs—and this is the same low unemployment rate that good ol’ Don Trump is saying he’s responsible for.

So, bottom line is, Black americans are using less drugs (especially compared to whites), and more of us are working—which means, at least half of us are NOT out committing crimes.

#2. In the case of median incomes for Black americans, the “Brookings Institute” conducted a study showing that the household incomes of 125 communities in “majority-Black” cities actually “outpaced” the national average for ALL american ETHNIC GROUPS. Mind you, the national average for american household incomes (annually) is $53, 889—and this data comes by way of the “American Community Survey” of 2015. And according to the survey, the Black communities that are doing exceptionally well seem to be concentrated in the state of Maryland—meaning, the largest of these thriving neighborhoods is in Waldorf, MD. (earning a median income of $81,592) with a population of 71,399 residents, and Highland Beach, MD. with a smaller population of 110 residents, earning the highest median income for Black americans overall, at $158,750 annually.

Now, once again, I must confess, THIS IS WHY I LOVE BEING A BLACK NATIONALIST! Cause if I was just an anglophilic kiss-ass of a Black man, I’d be conditioned into thinking that our people are the poorest, dumbest, and ugliest people in the world—and that’s wHITEY’S PLAN FOR US Y’ALL!!

So, if you encounter a brainwashed brotha or sista who’s calling us folk in the “Black Conscious Community”, a bunch of stupefied “pro-Black” “Hotep-pers”, just give ‘em a facepalm and keep it pushin’. Let ‘em stay stuck in the morass of deifying white folk—'cause truth be told, they’re happier feeling inferior to those pale-skinned dead-enders.

Moving on…

#3. The American Council on Education crunched numbers to show that there’s not only more Black men in college than in prison, but it shows how this has been a fact since the year 2000 (at least). And I’ll leave a link for their website too. Moreover, since 2008, incarceration rates for Black men have been DECREASING. And that means what? It means, more Black men are not only out of jail, but (according to these stats) more of us are educated and gainfully employed than in previous years—and whitey don’t like that.

Now, I’m gonna’ sound like a broken record here, but the reason good ole Don shut this gov’t down is not only for the 3 reasons above—it’s because WE HAVE THE MOST GENETIC POWER TO BREED THESE INBREDS OUTTA’ EXISTENCE! AND AS WE SPEAK WHITEY’S COMMITTING SUICIDE LIKE CRAZY, OVERDOSING ON DRUGS IN DROVES, AND THEIR BIRTHRATES HAVE FALLEN BELOW REPLACEMENT LEVELS OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST FEW DECADES!

And to put it in more layman’s terms: THEY FINISHED Y’ALL!! IT’S A WRAP FO’ ‘EM!!

Now, does this mean whitey’s got no more power?

HELL NO!

But it does mean that they see the end is near—AND THEY CAN’T STOP IT! NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO!

So, the indigenous Black people of the world should feel empowered and emboldened to “UNIFY” NOW, MORE THAN EVER! Cause whitey also sees that their fall means OUR RISE! And they also realize that whatever they do to us, WILL ALSO AFFECT THEM!

MEANING, THE DEVIL’S TIME IS UP Y’ALL!!

AND IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME!

WELCOME TO 2019 FAMILY!!

The gospel of white fascism (Part 31)...Mo'Niques "Netflix" masquerade and the moral of every freemasonic story...


Late last month, the comedienne/actress Mo'Nique asked Black americans to stand with her in boycotting Netflix for “gender and color” biases. And I trust that more than likely, if you're reading my Blog, you already know about this.

But if you don't, let me break Mo'Nique's beef with Netflix down briefly...

Mo'Nique said on “Instagram”, that she got “low-balled” by Netflix, when they offered $500,000 for her to appear in one of their televised comedy specials. Then she talked about Netflix offering Amy Schumer 11 million dollars for hers, while comedians Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle each got 20 mill'. Then, Mo'Nique said that when she asked for more money, a Netflix spokesperson told her, “Well, we thing that's what you'll bring”. And when she replied, saying her resume should command a higher price, the same person from Netflix said, “We don't go off of resumes”.

Now ultimately, the question is this: does Mo'Nique's “Hollywood” credentials (Remember, she won the “Oscar” for playing that violently abusive, mammy-of-a-mother in “Precious”), and her previous history as a “headlining” comedian, give her the kind of cultural cache to back up her asking price?

And the best way to tackle this question, in my opinion, is to do a comparative analysis of Mo'Nique's comedic career, in retrospect to what these other comedians she's named, have or haven't done, to command those kind of Netflix “numbers”.

So let's start with Amy Schumer...

After graduating college with a degree in theater from Towson University in 2003, Amy did some off-Broadway work in NYC theater, while she plied her comedic trade in places like New York City's “Gotham Comedy Club”. This led to a “Comedy Central” TV special, and from there, she appeared on the “NBC” talent show, “Last Comic Standing”. She parlayed these successes into TV stints on shows like “30 Rock”, “Bob's Burgers” and “Louie”, and she appeared in a few “HBO” series like “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Girls”. Eventually, Comedy Central gave Amy her own show called, “Inside Amy Schumer”. And this led to one of her first movie roles, in a film that was titled, “Price Check” (ironically enough). After this, she went on to play roles in other flicks like, “Trainwreck”, “Snatched”, and “Thank you for your silence”.

Now, on June 23rd, of 2016, Amy sold out the world famous, “Madison Square Garden” in NYC. And it was there that she announced she'd be taking her comedy show on a world tour. To top that off, she wrote a memoir tilted: “The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo”, which held the top position on the “New York Times” Best-sellers list for two weeks in September of that year.

Mind you, the Netflix spokesperson who Mo'Nique spoke with, told her that Amy's selling out the “Garden” twice, and being in a “big movie over the summer”, was a factor in what she got paid. So much for not going off of resumes.

Now, in my opinion, Mo'Nique is totally right for asking Netflix for a similar price to Amy's. Cause quite frankly, Amy's a third-rate comic at best and a corn-fed looking, inbred bigot at worst. white elites only hype Amy cause she's supposed to represent some new breed of feminist, with her brand of comedy some critics are calling, “casual racism”(CS).

And for those who don't know, let me explain what CS really is—Amy's CS is a rallying call for white women who not only wanna' have their “white privilege(s)”, but who wanna' be recognized as an “oppressed minority” while doing it. Furthermore, they also want white elites, like Trump who the majority of them voted for, to make sure they're always recognized as the world's prettiest women, while showing their true colors (pun intended) by lobbing any and every kind of insult towards Black people. Mind you, these are the same women who're pleading for our sympathies in the #METOO campaign(s).

So, in the case of Amy Schumer, I think Mo'Nique's argument over salary discrepancies is right on and righteous!

Now, we're all pretty familiar with Chris Rock's back-story and credentials. But for those who aren't, let me give you a brief primer on his comedic career.

Chris began doing stand-up comedy at New York City's “Catch a Rising Star” club. While plying his trade, he was fortunate enough to meet Eddie Murphy who happened to visit one evening. And after Eddie asked the club's manager to put Chris, who wasn't slated to perform that night, on after another comic, Eddie was so impressed with him, that he put Chris in the film, “Beverly Hills Cop II”.

Chris parlayed the aforementioned coup, into his stint on “Saturday Night Live”. After which, he began his string of HBO comedy specials, like the one that catapulted his career into the stratosphere, (1996's) “Bring the Pain”. And coincidentally, it was this special's skit about “Niggas vs. Black people”, that got him in the good graces of the white fascists who control Hollywierd.

After winning two “Emmys” for the aforementioned comedy shows, Chris' HBO special called, “Bigger and Blacker”, won him even more acclaim with critics and fans—and this got him to his own HBO show, “The Chris Rock show”. After this, he went on to garner major roles in movies like: “New Jack City”, “Boomerang”, “CB4”, “Panther”, “Lethal Weapon 4”, “Dogma”, and “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back”.

He then took on the role of a film writer/director, with movies like: “I think I love my wife” and “Top Five”.

Now, in regards to the pay-out discrepancy for Mo'Nique as it pertains to Chris Rock, I say she's wrong here for several reasons. First off, Chris' brand of socio-political comedic stylings tend to be more astutely observant and cerebral than Mo'Nique's comedy. Mo'Nique trends towards more “down-home” or “round-the-way” types of punch-lines—whereas you can tell Chris makes it his business to tackle complex sociological issues, which he presents in ways that are easily digestible for the masses. At one point in his HBO comedy speicals, you hear Chris waxing philosophic about how women know within the first five minutes of meeting a man, that they're gonna' sleep with him—then you hear him talk about how “affirmative action” and the white privilege got and kept Bush Jr. in his job as america's president. You're not really gonna' experience that range of cerebral/comedic gymnastics at a Mo'Nique show.

So in this instance, I think Mo'Nique doesn't recognize that Chris' psychological dexterity, is greater than her own—at least comedically.

Now, Mo'Nique's suggestions that she get as much money as Dave Chappelle, to me, is questionable at best and outright crazy at worst. And here's why...

After attending Washington D.C.'s, “Duke Ellington School for the Arts”, a young Dave Chappelle moved to New York City, to ply his comedic trade. He made such an impression on New York City's comedy circuit, that Whoppi Goldberg nick-named him, “The kid”, when he was 19. A talent agent “discovered” him in a New York club and put Dave in his first movie, “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”.

Thereafter, he was involved in several TV “pilots” that got rejected—but Dave was so revered as a master comedian, that once again, Eddie Murphy stepped in and put a young Dave in his hit movie, “The Nutty Professor”. After this, Dave and Neal Brennan co-wrote the stoner-classic, “Half-Baked”, and Dave also appeared in the box office success, “Blue Streak”, with Martin Lawrence.

Dave's Hollywood cache had evolved to the point where white elites “green-lit” the ideas he had for his own sketch-comedy program, and that became the “Dave Chappelle Show”, which debuted in 2003 on Comedy Central. And we all know how wildly successful and iconic this show became—and, we all know how it ended.

But what people may not know is this: The first season of the Chappelle Show on DVD, remains the number one best-selling TV series on DVD of all time, with 3 million of its units sold. Now, this DVD made the Comedy Central network $500 million dollars—and Dave's contract stipulated that he get half of that, which of course, is $250 million.

But Comedy Central only wanted to give Dave $50 million. That—along with a host of artistic and political differences he had with Comedy Central, was the main reason Dave walked away from the deal. So “crazy” had nothing to do with it.

But Dave didn't stop there, on top of telling Oprah that he wouldn't wear a dress cause he saw the psychological impact it would have on Black people, Dave left the u.s. and went to Africa.

Now—do you know what that means?

If not, let me tell ya'—cause in my estimation, Dave struck the mightiest blow to white fascism, I've ever seen in my lifetime.

EVER. 

Cause with Dave's actions, he told Black people, in america and the Diaspora, that the white fascist dream, american or otherwise, was BOGUS (and I wanna' use another word, but I won't), and he wasn't gonna' sell-out to it or for it. Now, even though Dave made a comeback, and a deal with Netflix for $60 million, I still fear for his life. Cause white fascists may be wicked as all hell, but they ain't stupid.

And the way whitey usually gets rid of revolutionaries like Dave (and that's not hyperbole, Dave's proven himself to be one) is this: they give someone what they originally fought for, in Dave's case $60 million ($20 million for three comedy specials), and a couple of years after the celebrity's won their battle, they kill them and usually blame it on a drug overdose (Prince).

Cause it would look too suspicious to kill a celebrity, while they're fighting their battle.

But back to Mo'Nique...

Now, if Mo'Nique was offered $50 million dollars, what do you think she would've done?

Ya' darn right—she woulda' took it!

Meaning, not only doesn't Mo'Nique have the kind of ingenuity and knowledge of world politics that Dave infuses his humor with, but I know for a fact that she doesn't have the kind of moral fortitude that would've allowed her to say no to that kind of money. And she sure as hell, wouldn't of went to Africa, to further prove her point.

So, I've said all that to say this: I applaud Mo'Nique for knowing her worth when it comes to hack comics like Amy Schumer, but when it comes to a generation's greatest comedic minds like a Chris Rock, or true-to-heart revolutionaries like Dave Chappelle, she'll never be in their leagues.

And the reason why is simple—it's cause at the end of the day, Mo'Nique is just a narcissistic opportunist, frontin' like she's “conscious”.

Mind you, I believe Mo'Nique is very talented, but she suffers from the same disease that Dame Dash, formerly of “Rockefeller Records” had. Cause both Mo'Nique and Dame are white fascist freemasons—so they should know that they're only allowed to be successful ON FREEMASONIC TERMS—NOT THEIR OWN! 

And that's the moral of every freemasonic story. It's also the reason why Jay-Z's nearly a billionaire, and Mo'Nique and Dame ain't.

So to all celebs, or aspiring celebs who wanna' get down wit' tha' freemasons: if you wanna' survive and thrive in your chosen profession, you should heed the pithy words of Lavar Ball Sr., and know when to “STAY IN YO' LANE”. In other words, if you're dirty dancin' wit' tha' devil, don't cry when ya' gets burned.

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

*Addendum: (2/6/18)--Here's a video put out by "The Atlantic" magazine, simply called "Typecast", featuring actor Michael K. Williams (most noteably known as "Omar" from the HBO series, "The Wire"). Now, this mag covers national and international politics, technology, business and "culture", but more than anything, this mag's vid talks about an entertainer possibly regretting their "celebrity". So ultimately, the moral of this vid's story is: if you're gonna' get down wit' "Hollywierd", you've gotta' play by their rules. And in white fascist freemasonry's case, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Either you abide by their ways, or you go the "independent" route, so you don't have to. Enjoy this clip.

When will Jesus return? (Special post-Christmas editorial)


Two nights before “Christmas”, a good friend invited me to one of his church's pre-holiday services. Now, this person understands that I'm not a christian, but being that we've known each other for decades, I agreed to attend.

So a few minutes into the service, the white female pastor declared that she was gonna' give everyone in attendance a “gift”. Now, this gift she said, was associated with us winning a lottery—and then she expounded on reasons why this lottery could only be attained through being “saved”meaning, you'd have to be a person who's accepted “Jesus Christ”.

Then, she pointedly told us about the concept of “original sin” and how Jesus died for us because of that. Additionally, she said no matter how foul our mouths are, or how many banks we've robbed, Jesus died so we'd be cleansed of our inherited sin(s).

Finally, she ended the service by reinforcing the point that regardless of how egregiously we live our lives, our acceptance of Jesus will grant us everlasting life. Mind you, about half of the people seated and listening to that service, were Black.

Now, I understand how whoever's reading this is probably gonna' think—well, here comes the part where he talks about that whole Black and white/ethnic thing again. But in all fairness, this pastor's audience was mostly comprised of white people. However, in terms of how this woman's message could affect churchgoers, I'd like to make 3 points as to how this pastor's sermon might strike a Black churchgoer differently from a white one, based on our disparate kinds of conditioning.

Point#3: In terms of this white woman telling me that she's gonna' give me a “gift”, and how this includes my winning a “lottery” that comes from being saved—it immediately takes my mind to stories of the mythological “white savior” that will rescue Black people from themselves. And mind you, a white person could be (and was) sitting right next to me—but because white fascism teaches Black people from birth that we're the most vile and undesirable kinds of people on the planet, it says to my mind, that I need some sort of “external” white force to save me, or us, from our inevitable demise, due to our moral obtuseness.

Point#2: Doubling down on my last point, the concept of “original sin” reinforces to me, as a Black person, in regards to the conditioning that we specifically get (especially in the american educational system) that EVERYTHING about me is WRONG.

EVERYTHING. 

And on a side note, I remember speaking to a mature brotha like myself about the dysfunction of Black people. And the gist of his argument was that Black people need to take “personal responsibility” for reconditioning ourselves out of these dysfucntions/mind-sets. And I agree—to an extent. Meaning, recently, I spoke to a young brotha, who I know is 18 years old, and he just happens to have that beautifully flawless, deeply melanated skin I love. But because of this, his friends make fun of him and say that he looks “African”.

And he retaliates aggressively when they do. Meaning somewhere, at his young age, he's gotten the message that he should be ashamed of his association with Africa. Now, here's my question/argument for the aforementioned mature brotha I was debating—how in the world, can we expect this young man to recondition himself out of his conscious/subconscious hatred of his “association” with Africa (i.e. his dark skin), when he doesn't even know it's a problem? Then I told the brotha, if and when that young brotha does realize, that hating his skin is a problem, then how does he recondition himself out of it?

Another personal example of this, was the time in my 9th grade class when a beautiful young sista said to me, when we were alone: “Damn—God didn't give us nothin', he gave us big lips and nappy hair.”

Now, check that out—she said, “God” didn't give us nothing. So, she was conditioned to think, in reference to her looks and being Black, that her very God had forsaken her. And ya' know what I said to this young sista? Nothing. Cause I felt the same way.

Fortunately, decades later, I feel completely different—and I hope she does too.

Mind you, there is a remedy for this—and that is, we have to get those young minds into “Black Nationalist” homeschooling collectives, so they're not poisoned with self-hatred from this social order's “mis-educational” system.

Point#1: And the number one point I want to make is this: ever since I was in my pre-teens, I've gotten the message that when the white christ returns, he'll set the world right again.

Now, because of the conditioning I got, especially in catholic schools, I should be able to agree with this sentiment. Fortunately though, I have alternate information (cause I'm a practitioner of the Black Spiritual Sciences), and I understand one profound truth that you won't hear in 99.9% of the church services you'll attend. And that's this: In regards to Jesus Christ, what white fascists don't want you to know is...

JESUS NEVER LEFT.

Now, you're probably thinkin, bruh—if youre agreeing that Jesus is real and was here, then how could you possibly say he never left.

Here's how...

The Black Spiritual Sciences (The Orishas, Ifa, Yoruba, Santeria, Voudun/Voodoo, etc.) teach us that the “Krist” (KRST) energies associated with these practices, are different from a physical man named “Jesus Christ”, who white fascists made up.

Now, for the sake of brevity, I'll tell you that “Jesus Christ” was an invention of the ruler “Constantine”, when he convened the “Council of Nicea” in 325 A.D. And coincidentally, it was here that 318 Roman Catholic Bishops wrote, decreed and sanctified the institution that we now know as “christianity”. And please don't take my word for this—go do your own research and find out for yourself.

Moreover, in terms of fascist dogmas and institutions, I think these Bible verses pretty much tell you the agenda of white fascist christianity/freemasonry.

Ephesians 6:5-8:

5:”Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.”

6: “Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.”

7: “Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving THE LORD, NOT PEOPLE.”

8: “Because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.”

Now, I think that pretty much says it all.

So, and I'm talking exclusively to Black people, when our ancestors spoke of the “Krist/KRST”, they were speaking of energies to be accessed through the Spiritual Sciences I mentioned earlier.

And the bottom line to all these sciences is this: when you find a technique that combines your intention (prayer), with your subconscious mind, that's how you'll ultimately start to manipulate “spiritual” forces in your favor.

Then YOU will become the “CHRIST/KRST”.

Moreover, because our ingenious ancestors taught us that this particular energy is WITHIN you, it means you don't have to look for any external force to activate it—so you can save yourself.

So, while you imbibe in copious amounts of egg-nog and pumpkin pie on this holiday (holy-day), understand it's real meaning—and that is to heed our ancestors who're beseeching us to turn our KRST ENERGIES ON—so you can indeed live an abundant life that will not only benefit you, but the whole of the Black Diaspora.

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

One mo' bold-faced lie about Black men...


Lie#5: Black women earn more than Black men

A couple of years back, a Black woman, who called herself 'Monique', came to my Blog and told me how she liked my speaking disparagingly on inter-ethnic dating and marriage. She also let me know that she was a blogger and a budding Black Nationalist herself. Additionally, she told me of her plans to create a new blog that espoused Black Nationalist/Pan-Afrikanist sentiments, and she asked if I could give her some pointers. So I was like, cool—she's a real down sista.

Two months into her writing this Black Nationalist blog, I saw how she would excoriate Black men who dated non-Black women, but how she'd give a pass to Black women who did the same. Then, I found out she herself dated white and non-Black men exclusively. Her claim was, that she tried to date Black men, but it was too hard—and this was at a time when she'd told me she wanted to be seen as more than a sex toy to white and non-Black men.

Finally, when I told this woman my aim was to help heal the rift between Black men and women, so I could possibly save a Black family or two, she responded by saying, the rift between Black men and women is irreparable, and the campaign to save the Black family is dead.

Needless to say, I was shocked.

Immediately after, I told her that her anglophilic mind-state was detrimental to my Blog's mission, and that she shouldn't comment here anymore. And for those of you who think that was harsh, I'll say that had I agreed with this woman's message, I would've had to stop writing this Blog. Moreover, I wondered what this woman expected me to say regarding her statement, knowing what kind of Blog I write. Understand, anyone can have their opinions, that's your prerogative, but I wondered why she would voice those sentiments here.

Also, a couple of months back, this woman commented on my Blog using a pseudonym that she'd gone under during our first correspondences. She wanted me to write something on the movie, 'Get Out'—and basically, she wanted me to talk about how the movie is a warning to Black men to stay away from white women. Needless to say, I erased her comment.

Now, about a week ago, I was looking at a particular YouTube video of a Black man who's somewhat of a Black Nationalist—although he wouldn't necessarily commit to that title. But, he let's it be known, that he's a brotha who's down for sistas. And the overwhelming majority of Black men who frequent his channel, share that sentiment.

But beneath this particular video, which talked about the unnecessary drowning death of a young brotha, a Black woman made a comment saying, 'I don't mean to be divisive, but Black men need to save themselves...' And then, she expounded on that point by saying that Black men are ineffectual leaders of our communities. Now, not only didn't she show any empathy for the young brotha losing his life, but she basically took a cheap shot at Black men on a forum where she figured we wouldn't take her to task on her statements.

Fortunately, brothas shot down this closeted coon—but what didn't sit right with me was the fact that she chose to make those comments on a channel where Black men clearly had the backs of Black women. I mean, if she felt that way about us, she could have made those statements on Christelyn Karazin's channel. She would've had a chorus of Black women who would've agreed with her.

Now, what both these Black women stated amidst their divisive diatribes is, how Black men needed to step up and take the leadership position of our communities, cause according to them, Black women are doing better, especially financially, than Black men.

So, being a curious type of fellow, I went about doing the research on the financial status of Black men and women—and here's what I found...

According to the 'Pew Research Center', in an article titled, 'Racial, gender wage gaps persist in U.S. despite some progress', dated July 1st, 2016, here's the financial data on the comparable earnings of Black men and women.

This organization's findings on the median hourly earnings of Black men and women nationally, show that Black women earn $13 dollars an hour, while Black men earn $15 dollars an hour. Additionally, median hourly earnings of Black employees ages 25 and older with a bachelors degree or higher, state that Black women earn $23 dollars an hour, while Black men earn $25 dollars an hour. So that says what? It says statistically, that Black men in america earn more than Black women.

Now, I can see the rolling of eyes and hear the sucking of teeth as I'm writing this. And many Black women will probably think, even if that's correct, Black men only make like two dollars more than us. True. But, for the last decade and a half, all the american social order has told me, and every other Black man living here, is that we unequivocally earn less than Black women across the board. So this was yet another bold-faced lie about Black men that I debunked with a little research.

And let me just say, this is why I find Black Nationalism so fun and therapeutic. It's cause EVERY negative stereotype that white fascists foisted on Black american men, at least the ones I've researched, have turned out to be nothing more than speculation at best, and flat-out lies at worst.

So, like I've said in the past, adhering to stereotypes of Black people in the american social order is poisonous to the Black psyche.

And speaking of adherence to stereotypes, there's a particular group I'd like to address inside the ranks of Black america. Now, to the left is a picture of the character, 'Calvin Candy', from the movie 'Django Unchained'. And as you can plainly see, this is an advertisement for the 'MGTOW' movement. And before I go in on them, I'd like to stress that the proper pronunciation of this organization's name is 'mig-toe', not 'mig-taow'. Again, the name ends with 'toe', as in 'big toe'. Obviously, they're trying to make themselves sound a bit better than they are.

But for those who don't know these guys, here's a brief primer on them: MGTOWs are a group of white men, who believe that america's social order has become too matriarchal. This group says they can no longer abide by america's double standards when it comes to a gynocentric bias, especially in the cases of how men are treated in america's court systems and in the institution of marriage. Additionally, these men say that women on the whole are hypergamous and intrinsically manipulative. And the highest levels in the MGTOW lifestyle are said to be attained when a man shuns women altogether. And supposedly, these men have spawned what many are calling men's rights activism. Some also call them 'meninists'.

Now, here's the straight dope on these oppressed white men—MGTOWs are a bunch of closeted homosexual caucasian men, who are using this organization as a recruitment tool for queers. Understand, gays can't reproduce themselves—so they use covert methods like this to not only expand the ranks of their brethren, but to mainstream homosexuality, especially to men who are heart-broken, or who are too socially inept to date and get into relationships with women. And their goals are really aimed at getting Black men into this sexually-confused non-sense, so we'll produce less offspring. That's why this group chose Calvin Candy, a notorious slave trader, as the face of their brand.

Now, I could care less what the fringes of america's white folks are fetishizing over lately, but what I'm noticing, is more and more Black men are becoming men's rights activists.

And truthfully, I've been wondering, what sane Black man is gonna' align himself with a bunch of white men who are acting like an oppressed miniority? Welp, turns out a lot of us will do whatever we see white folks doing, up to and including, joining the MGTOW ranks.

Now, these misguided souls seem to take aim at two types of people: 'liberal' Black women and woman-praising 'Pro-Black' men.

So here's their reasoning: Black men's rights activists say that the Pro-Black movement (Black Nationalism/Pan-Africanism) comprises too much preachy non-sense and inaction. Basically, they say all we do is talk. And they say the liberal Black woman, has abandoned the Black community in the pursuit of currying white fascism's favor. And even though they say 'Pro-Blacks' speak in code words, they don't realize how much they do this. Everyone of them seems to mention, liberalism, Pro-Black 'simpish' men, and Social justice warriors (those people who support any type of liberalism).

But here's why I really have a problem with this group—it's because they're constantly obsessing and speaking on Black america's dysfunctions, outside the context of the white fascism that created it.

What these, mostly young Black men, don't realize is, none of the dysfunctions they speak about in Black america are natural to us. NONE OF 'EM. See, subconsciously, these Black men are anglophiles who think that talking about Black dysfunction will separate them from the masses of Black americans. And that sounds good, until a white cop pulls your Black butt over.

And in one YouTube video, I heard one of these guys talk about the Black Power fist being a Marxist symbol, not a culturally Black one. What he doesn't realize is, Marxism and Socialism and Communism, came out of indigenous Black 'communalism'. Meaning, our ancient ancestors were about the collective, not the individual. And what really gets me peeved is when these guys say, if a Pro-Black man or woman mentions white bigotry or fascism, it's because we're using that as a 'crutch' to foster a co-dependent relationship between us and whitey. Now, the real reason they say this is cause they don't want to acknowledge that whatever dysfunction Black americans display is a direct result/response to white fascism. Cause consciously and/or subconsciously, these Black men don't like being Black. So their enemy is not white fascism, it's the majority of Black people.

Now, you might be thinking, wait a minute bruh—they do have a point about Pro-Blacks doing nothing but talking. Well, if that's what you think, let me remind you of Tariq Nasheed's 'Hidden Colors' documentaries, which are responsible for a good many Black folks finding out positive facts about their history, that they didn't get in american schools. Or, the Black Power Awards, which honor people in the Pro-Black community who are actively working in initiatives designed to help our people. Also, there are home-schooling collectives that are run by the Black conscious community that are teaching our children the three 'r's' (reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic), without the self-hating messages my generation got in america's schools. And today, I caught wind of a website called 'We Buy Black', which is an on-line store where the whole of the Black Diaspora can shop with exclusively Black companies.

Now, is the Pro-Black/Black conscious community flawed—hell yeah! But, there is positive work being done that doesn't subscribe to just paying lip service to the cause of Black liberation. Conversely, all I see these Black men's rights activists doing is making YouTube vids where they talk disparagingly about us. And let me say this, I made it a point not to write about (uncle) Tommy Sotomayor as of late, cause at this point, it would sound redundant. But I do want to say, that this fringe group of misguided Black men, are definitely his children. They're so mired in self-hatred, that they can't see how their real enemy is white fascism, not us.

And anecdotally, someone sent me a Tommy Sotomayor vid where he describes going to a supermarket. Tom being one of the only Black people in the store, had picked up some fruit juices near the check-out counter, and when he got to the register, the white guy behind it said, “Why don't you try this—“ And the inbred bigot showed Tommy some watermelon juice. And Tom is so confused, he asked his viewing audience if the white counter person was being racist towards him.

So I've said all that to say this, the only way white fascism will triumph over our people is to keep us disunified. So whether it be sistas who have a vested interest in berating Black men to curry the favor of white ones, or Black men's rights activists, who don't realize how much they don't like being Black themselves, we need to realize that we'll only win when our people collectively, can put aside any ideological or gender differences, and see that our common enemy, white fascism, is greater than any counter-productive behaviors we exhibit.

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