The gospel of white fascism (Part 30)...What do Love and Hip-Hop's "Amara La Negra" and Marvel's "Black Panther" movie have in common?


Dana Danelys De Los Santos, a.k.a. Amara La Negra, was born on October 4th, 1990 in Miami, Florida. Her Dominican parents separated when she was a child, and Amara was raised by a single mother who purportedly worked 3 to 5 jobs at a time, to make ends meet.

Amara grew up near the Miami offices of “Univision”, which is america's largest “spanish-speaking” TV network, and being that Amara had an innate fondness for performing, her mother enrolled her in several dance, modeling and acting classes. As a result, Amara pretty much grew up in the entertainment industry.

And her resume reads like this: at age 4, Amara won the title of “Miss Chicquita”, and from ages 4 to 10, Amara appeared on the TV show, “Sabado Gigante” in the 90's. The Sabado Gigante gig, helped her win back-up dancer spots with artists like: Celia Cruz and Gloria Estefan, and at age 19, she won third place in the “Diva Latina” competition. In 2010 and 2011, she appeared in telenovellas for the “Telemundo” TV network and performed “product presentations” for “Mega TV”.

Now, as of late, Amara's become not only a singing sensation in latin america, but she's a star of the hit TV series, “Love and Hip-Hop”. The latest installment of which takes place in Amara's hometown of Miami. And in the show's latest episodes, she's shown a determination to put “Afro-latinas” on the map of the music industry—and the world.

*Note: In the 1970's, the term “Hispanic” was created by the american government cause “Census Bureau” administrators, found that “latino-americans” were checking the “white” or “caucasian” boxes, when they identified themselves. And I'll tell you why this is crucially important to Amara's story later on in this post.

Marvel Studios movie, “Black Panther”, has a release date of February 16th, 2018 (Black History Month). And Ryan Coogler, who's a brotha, not only directed this film, but wrote it's screenplay as well. Now, I think everyone reading this realizes that Chadwick Bosworth is playing the lead role, and knows this movie is bringing out all the heavy-hitters, as far as dramatic acting is concerned. You have Angela Bassett playing “Ramonda”, who's not only T'Challa's mother, but the “Queen Mother” of Wakanda. There's also Forest Whitaker playing, “Zuri”, who's an elder-statesmen of Wakanda. You have Michael B. Jordan as “Killmonger”, Lupita N'yongo as “Nakia”, who's an international Wakandan spy, etc. And the movie's estimated budget is somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 to 200 million dollars. So Marvel's pulling out all the stops on this one.

And this movie's basically about T'Challa going back to Wakanda after his father (T'Chaka) is killed, to defend his homeland against foes (Killmonger, Klaue), who are plotting it's takeover—and to prevent a world war.

Now, I want you to take note of how this film's narrative (Cinematic Symbolism) has direct roots to white fascism. Whereas, the first initiative enacted by them, once we fell for the trick of integration, was to get Black men out of the home. Additionally, I'll always remember the 70's TV series “Good Times”, and the episode where “James Evans” died. Now, for decades I'd been told that John Amos left the show, due to artistic differences. Turns out, John was fired cause he didn't like the shows demeaning content. Again—take the Black man out of the home.

And after we bit the bait of integration, whitey gave Black women government benefits that would pay for their food, clothing and shelter, under one condition—(again) they couldn't have a man in the house. Now, at least half of Black women didn't take these benefits cause there was still a spirit of unity left in us. And this is the reason why in the “Reagan 80's”, we had the government-funded, three-headed monster of Reganomics, Crack and AIDS to contest with. Now, I've gone over that ad-nauseum, so I won't do it here. But eventually, I'll put out a tome dedicated to breaking these facets of the 80's, and what Black americans went through in that decade, all the way down. So stay tuned.

Moving on...

You should also take note of the fact that brotha Wesley Snipes was going to star in the film adaptation of Marvel's Black Panther in 1992. He was even in talks with Columbia pictures and Stan Lee to produce the film. Now, rumor has it that the film's script wasn't up to par—but what brotha Wesley probably didn't like was being in a flick with a Black male character named “Man-Ape” (Winston Duke, who plays “M'Baku” in Black Panther). Or playing alongside primitive-looking brothas with plates in their lips (above left). So instead, brotha Wesley starred in the movie, “Blade”. And not only was this movie a hit, but it helped him maintain his dignity while doing it. Kudos to brotha Wesley!

Now, you might be sayin', bruh—what's any of this gotta' do with Amara La Negra, or what she and the Black Panther movie have in common?

Here's the answer...

The most valuable social currency in america, or anywhere else on the globe, is “Black street cred”. PERIOD.

And that's exactly what Marvel studios and Amara “LA NEGRA”, which literally translates into Amara “the Black”, are trying to capitalize on.

Now, remember when I said in the 70's, the american government created the term “hispanic” cause so many of america's Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Colombians, etc. were identifying themselves as “white”? Well, let me give you another tid-bit about this regarding “latino” rappers.

The rapper “Fat Joe” was once interviewed about 90's era Hip-Hop and how brothas were wearing “African medallions” (left). In it, he said: “Well, I always wore my gold (jewelry), so I don't know what they were trippin' off.” Mind you, it was rap music and Hip-Hop culture—a culture created by Black americans, that made him rich.

So now in 2018, we see Amara “the Black” claiming that she's “unapologetically Afro-Latino” (and this term was blatantly taken from Dr. Umar Johnson who says he's “Unapologetically African”). So basically, not only do both Joe and Amara understand that Black people create the best genres of music, but they also know that Hip-Hop culture, trumps all others in it's popularity, especially with young people around the world.

In other words, Amara doesn't care about identifying herself as Black, she's just hustlin' our music and culture.

Also, the name Amara “the Black”, is directly insulting to our people—she's mocking us with that ridiculous surname.

Additionally, I'll never forget how a former latino friend of mine, once gave me a shirt that said, “Puerto Rico club” on it's back. And I remember passing a group of young latino men while wearing it. After seeing it, they got into a hot argument—and I remember this one latin guy repeating, “Nah, nah, he ain't Puerto Rican—he's Black.” Mind you, they did this in a way saying, he's not one of us, he's one of them. And trust me, 99.9% of latinos, feel the same way.

Now, with the Black Panther movie, the stakes are even higher. Cause first off, what's being sold to us in Black Panther is a culture of obsessing over comic books, video games and super-hero flicks. Meaning, what's being promoted, especially to young Black men, is why we should adopt the tenets of “negro nerdom”. And at the nucleus of this culture are traits that would have us subscribing to being effeminate and immature males—not MEN. And this absolutely fits with the zeitgeist of mainstreamed homosexuality. Which is what white fascists ultimately want us to adopt.

Bottom line of their agenda is to keep Black men, who have the most genetic power to breed them out of existence, from pro-creating.

Additionally, what Marvel wants is that cultural gold standard of “Black street cred”—cause it would cast a legitimately cool light on the whole of the Marvel universe.

So I've said all that to say this: as a Black person, don't be surprised if you go to Amara La Negra's concert and find out these dark-skinned latinos have a problem with you—a “pure-bred” Black man or woman. Cause like I've said so many times in the past, it seems like every non-Black person in america lives by the same motto, and that's this...

It's OK to love Black culture, but you should hate Black people.

Thus, non-Black folks in america have no problem dressing like us, dancing like us, singing like us, or talking like us, while tryin' to make us hate ourselves.

So remember fam—this credo, along wit' Amara's big “backside”, are the only things this “afro-wigged, pseudo-Black” latin woman, is ultimately out to sell.

Later...

P.S.

Here's Dr. John Henrik Clarke's classic lecture on why Black people, “have no friends” in other ethnic groups. Now, this vid is 35 minutes long, but just listen to the first 10. And once you do, I promise, you'll have no choice but to listen to the whole of Dr. Clarke's masterfully motivating, Black Nationalist dissertation.

THIS IS STRAIGHT FIRE Y'ALL!!

How Black people should revolt behind the Trayvon Martin verdict...


By now I think everyone knows about the bogus acquittal of George Zimmerman after his gunning down of Trayvon Martin. And quite frankly, I don't know what I'd do if I were Trayvon's father; I don't think I could live with the fact that Zimmerman is not only alive but he's free to walk the streets and go about his life like nothing ever happened. 

Personally, I'd be lookin' for some payback; but that's just me.

I'm not a pacifist like Martin Luther King was; so I wouldn't tell anyone who suffered this kind of loss to just let go and let god. Someone would have to answer for the death of my boy. But it seems like this kind of injustice is just par for the course in america. 

For the life of me I can't understand how any Black person, or Black man especially, could be so in love with this country; especially when this happens on a pretty regular basis. And it seems like the media are rubbing our noses in this verdict, don't it? I mean with Trayvon, Kimani Gray, Amadou Diallo, Sean Bell...and I could keep going, you'd think the media would want to keep this quiet, or at least quieter, so the Black diaspora wouldn't want to seek some kind of revenge, right? 

Wrong.

The media wants to keep stories like this in our faces twenty-four seven 'cause it fits with the white supremacist agenda, especially at this time of year--and let me show you why:

Let's get metaphysical for a moment...

During the summer months and especially on the Summer Solstice, the production of melanin in Black people is at its highest level. This means we have the power to think quicker than our pale-skinned, degenerated peers. Don't believe me? Then let me give you a more practical example:

The color Black is a better conductor of electricity and is better able to absorb light; that's why every solar panel is Black. And what are our mental thoughts? Electrical impulses. This is why darker skinned people have the potential to think quicker than their white counterparts; now, whether they capitalize on that or not is another issue. 

But during these months, it's imperative that white elites keep us distracted so we can't use this ability to its fullest potential. Or they at least have to keep us in one of two states so we don't unite and use our mental capacities against them; and these two states are: fear and anger. 

When you keep someone, or someones, in perpetual states of fear and anger they're easier to control. That's why during summer months, almost like clock-work, these tragic events are broadcast about Black people. For instance: the Kobe Bryant sexual assault trial happened in July of 2003, and Hurricane Katrina happened in August of 2005. 

But beyond the metaphysics, another aspect of this case no one seems to touch on is George Zimmerman is not a white man...he's spanish. He himself refers to his ethnicity as 'latino', and he checked the 'hispanic' box on his voter registration form. Hell, even Zimmerman's father called him a 'spanish-speaking minority'. 

Kinda' figures why George is so fu&*ed up. 

Now, I recently wrote a post about how spanish people don't like Black americans, and this is perhaps the most jarring example of my point...and that's why I wrote the post. Lately, these leaf-blowing, orange-picking, wetbacked bastards have been joining with various white supremacist groups in an effort to kill off Black americans. I site a few examples of this in my earlier post, and I'll leave a link for it at the end of this one. But if you think these refried bean eatin' degenerates are your friends Black people, you might wanna' think again.  

Beyond all this though, what I'd like to do is site some ways that Black people, and Trayvon's family, should revolt in the wake of this heinous crime. We gotta' be about solutions and RESULTS people; so here goes:

Firstly, Trayvon's parents should levy a Civil Rights lawsuit against George Zimmerman. If the Martin family can't get justice on the federal level, they should seek it elsewhere. Just because Zimmerman was acquitted in one court, doesn't mean the game's over. This is how Rodney King got some payback for his injuries; he got two of those crooked cops locked up behind civil rights litigation. 

Second, if the state courts don't work, the Martin family should sue the bastards! If a civil court doesn't bring about any changes, the Martins should sue Zimmerman and their local law enforcement for some kind of damages and distress. 

Third, Black people should form ARMED community watch organizations. It's clear that law enforcement and the courts don't give a damn about our people, so let's take matters into our own hands. It's time we follow the example of Dr. Huey P. Newton and take up arms. Just like those crakas in the gated community did when they shot Trayvon. 

Fourth, and MOST important is...Black people as a whole need to light a fire beneath the ass of our politicians. 

Every Black politician should be held accountable for what Zimmerman did!  

We need to let these well-fed loafers know that if they're not gonna' keep our kids safe, then we're going to vote them out! We will vote for their white running mates if necessary. There's no reason why we should have all these Black congresspeople, mayors, senators, governors and a Black president, if this kind of incident is allowed to happen. 

It's time to wake our Black politicians up, or MOVE THEM THE HELL OUT!! Let's show them we mean business when it comes to keeping our kids safe!

One last thing...to anyone who's seeking payback like Chris Dorner did, I'll say this; and I'll leave you with a paraphrased quote from Chris Rock: 

"I'm not saying you should do it...but I understand."
