The Gospel of white fascism (Part 39)...Here's what Serena Williams and Bill Cosby "do not" have in common with white fasicst feminists and the "queer" community...


Serena Jameka Williams, was born on September 26th, 1981, in Saginaw, Michigan, to her father, Richard Price, and her mother, Oracene Williams. Serena is the youngest of their daughters, and shortly after she was born, Rich and Oracene moved the family to Compton, California, where they had Serena learning to play tennis, at the tender age of 3.

Now, while Serena’s parents were the ones who originally coached her, it was another man, Richard Williams (who had no relation to Serena’s dad), that took her under his wing and taught her the finer points of the sport. And when Serena turned 9, her family moved from Compton, to West Palm Beach, Florida, so she could attend the world renowned tennis academy of Rick Macci. Now, Rick’s academy catered to the prodigious tennis student, as well as the professional touring athlete. And Rich, Serena’s father, figured she could get the kind of training she needed to compete on a world-class level, there. Ultimately though, Serena’s father saw how dedicating herself to the academy’s regimen, would mean neglecting her studies and putting severe limits on a young Serena’s social life.

Additionally, Rich stopped sending Serena to junior tennis tournaments when she was 10, even though she had a 46-3 record, on the U.S. Tennis Association’s junior tour, and was ranked # 1 amongst players her age. And the reason Rich did this was, he began seeing the bigoted reactions of white people towards his daughters, when theyd win these championships. So, after hearing enough bigoted and derogatory comments from white folks about his girls, in 1995, Rich decided that he’d coach his daughters on how to play the sport himself, from the safety of their home.

Serena’s first professional match was in October of 1995, when she was just 14, at the “Bell Challenge” in Quebec, Canada—and thereafter, her career went as follows…

Serena’s won 72 career singles titles, 23 doubles titles and two mixed doubles titles. And that includes 39 Grand Slam tournaments. She’s a four-time Olympic Gold medalist, and she’s won more than $88 million dollars in prize monies—more than any other female athlete to date.

William Henry Cosby Jr., we know him as “Bill” y’all, was born on July 12th, 1937, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His mother, Anna Pearl, was a maid, and his father, William Henry Cosby Sr., served as a custodian in the u.s. Navy.

Bill was the class president, as well as the captain of his baseball and track and field teams in middle school. And throughout his high school years, he excelled in sports, but struggled academically. Teachers stated that he was smart, but he was more interested in being the center of attention, than focusing on his studies. So, he left school before graduating in 1956, to enlisted in the Navy. And while he continued playing sports in the armed forces, he got his G.E.D. This led to him acquiring a scholarship to attend Temple University in 1961.

At Temple, he studied physical education, while he ran track and played on the college’s football team. Bill also worked as a bartender, while off campus, and it was there, he learned about his ability to make people laugh, which kept his tip jar full. And that’s when he decided to parlay that skill, into a career in stand-up comedy.

Now, as a stand-up comedian, what set Bill apart, was the fact that his comedic stylings were, for the most part, “ethnically neutral”. Meaning, while Bill’s contemporaries, like Dick Gregory for example, were becoming more outspoken about the injustices that white fascism foisted on the public at large, and Black folks in particular, Bill’s comedy was decidedly non-threatening to a mainstream audience—thus, movie and TV executives were courting him with offers to appear in several projects.

And this led to Bill’s appearances on movies and TV shows like: “I Spy” (1965-1968), “Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids” (1972-1985), Uptown Saturday Night(1974)—and this movie is a bonafide classic y’all, if you haven’t seen it, please do, “Let’s Do it Again” (1975), “Mother, Juggs and Speed” (1976), but I think what Bill will forever be known for, is his role as Cliff Huxtable on “The Cosby Show”, which ran from 1984 ‘til 1992.

Now, when this show originally aired, I refused to watch it, ‘cause the sit-coms characters, seemed more like caricatures of the “perfect” (or perfectly anglophilic) Black family. With the father being a doctor, the mother being a lawyer, and the kids only worrying about improving their grades at school—but, in the wake of shows like “Love and Hip-Hop” and “Basketball Wives”, I gotta’ say, I sure do miss it. And the show Bill put alongside it, which was “A Different World” (1987-1993), had a decidedly more realistic and somewhat more relatable edge—moreover, it actually increased the amounts of young Black people attending universities, in real life. So, I gotta’ say, even though some considered Bill a sell-out, when it came to these shows, he definitely had a method to his madness.

Conversely, what bothered me about Bill, was all the moralizing and finger-waving speeches, he’d give when he was around us, his people—but I’ll get back to that point, a little later in this post…

Now, earlier this month, Serena Williams was defending her championship title at the US Open in New York City, against her competitor, Naomi Osaka. During that game’s second set, Serena was given a code violation, cause her coach was seen on the sidelines, giving her coaching hand signals—which he admitted to. But Serena was upset by the violation, and said her coach was just giving her a “thumbs up”, and demanded an apology from the Chair Umpire, Carlos Ramos (Remember, we don’t have any friends in these people either. And regarding this, you should read my post, “Why Spanish people hate Black americans”, and I’ll leave a link for that editorial, at the end of this one). Serena then received a second violation for breaking her racket on the court, and that resulted in a point being taken away from her. A third violation came behind her verbal abuse of the umpire, after which, she was hit with a game penalty, and lost the match. She then said, the reason she was treated more harshly by the umpire, is cause she’s a woman (more on that later).

Now, unless you’ve been living under a rock, I think you’re already aware of the various rape and sexual misconduct charges that Bill Cosbys been accused of—mind you, the majority of these cases brought against him, most of them from white women, have passed their statute of limitations—cause they happened 30 plus years ago. Nevertheless, Bill attorneys did such a good job defending him in the federal and state court systems, that these good, morally upstanding, white women, figured they’d have a better chance convicting “Cos” in Civil court.

And they were right—cause on the 28th, of this month, “Cos” was sentenced to 3 to 10 years in state prison. Mind you, he wasn’t convicted of the original charges brought against him, like: drug facilitated sexual assault, sexual battery, child sexual abuse, or sexual misconduct—what he was convicted of, is 3 counts of “aggravated indecent assault”.

Now, I have to ask this question: have you ever heard of a more ridiculous charge?

But, let me say straight off fam, that I have no empathy or sympathy for what Serena and Bill are going through. Why, you ask? Well, that’ll bring us to what these two “DON’T” have in common wit’ white feminists or the white “queer” community…

And they are...

#1. Just cause you’re a Black person wit’ money, don’t mean you’re a full-fledged member of the “caucasian club”.

Now, more than anything else, this is what Serena and Bill forgot. Mind you, while Bill was giving all those finger-waving and moralizing lectures to Black folk, and Serena was marrying the great white hope, they thought somehow, they were exempted from the travails that us common Black folk face.

So, when they got that “wake-up call” recently, that shroud of white acceptance was stripped off, and they stood there embarrassed (in-bare-ass) and perplexed at the fact that they were no longer america’s sweethearts—and shocked to find out, they never were.

#2. Unlike the queer/LGBTQ/homosexual community, Black people don’t have a closet to jump into.

Over the course of the last couple of years, I’ve come to see that Black people have been conditioned into accepting the queer lifestyle, and some have gone as far as saying, that being gay is just like being Black.

Welp, if for no other reason that the one above, as a Black man or woman, you can never equate your struggle to theirs—and behind this fact, queers should quit asking us to include them in our “Civil/Human Rights” struggles.

Now, understand what I’m not saying—I’m not saying that you should hate a gay person for being gay, I’m saying that not only can’t you hide your ethnicity like they can hide their sexuality, but their lifestyle is unnatural to the point of being a “death-style”. And the mainstreaming of homosexuality, especially to Black folk, has more to do with making sure we don’t create more “pure-bred” Black children, who’ll have the most genetic power to breed white folk out of existence.

#3. Understand, as a Black man or woman, there’s not only a “double standard” working against you, there’s a “triple standard”.

Meaning, in no way, shape, or form, will you as a Black person be seen by the overwhelming majority of white people, as anything but a threat. And let me break this down a bit further—even though tennis athletes like John McEnroe were famous for their angry outbursts, which included throwing his racket and actually cursing out umpires, he never lost a game behind it, like Serena did (And I’ll show you a video of that to bring this point home). 

And more erroneously, Serena said that the only reason she was put through this, is ‘cause shes a woman—well, in regards to that, I got one question: where’s all the white feminist groups, and the #METOO movements spokeswomen, to speak up on her behalf? 

I’ll tell you where they are, they’re organizing so they can make sure they vote for Donald Trump in the upcoming election. Cause if you didn’t know, the biggest demographic supporting Trump in this country, was white women.

And in regards to the “Cos”, notice that Harvey Weinstein, Charlie Rose, Matt Lauer, Kevin Spacey, white pedophile priests, etc. aren’t going to jail—but he is. And that should say it all, y’all.

So, to the legions of Black “Swirlers” out there, understand, that in your liberal circle of white friends, they might see you as their equal, but when a white cop pulls your Black ass over, know that all that “special” treatment’s gonna’ go out the window—and don’t take my word for it, just ask Henry Louis Gates Jr. 

And to break it down even further, the moral of Serena and Bill’s story is: Black man and womanDON’T FORGET WHO YOU ARE! Cause once you do, whitey will be more than happy to remind you of your place in his social order.

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

P.S.

Here’s a vid clip of the tennis star John Mcenroe not only throwing down his racket, but literally cursing out an umpire—notice he doesnt lose the game behind his actions.



 P.P.S.

Here’s Bill Cosby’s infamous “pound cake” speech, where he’s admonishing Black folks for their moral obtuseness. Well fam, always remember what they say about people in glass houses…

(UN)Schooling 101: A guide for Black (Nationalist) parents on homeschooling children...


To the readers of this blog: I knew the white guy who probably had a relationship, or at least a long-term “fling”, with my ex, after I broke up with her. Now, at the time, I was in my mid-20’s, and he was in his 30’s, so he was more established than me, and to his credit, he was well-educated and even-tempered. Conversely, he was nerdy (he wore glasses), emotionally constipated (at least for my taste), and he was sexually-conflicted—meaning, he was “openly” bi-sexual—that means he was gay y’all (But his being white, made up for that, I guess). Now, you’re probably thinking, yeah right, he was gay *pursing lips*, you’re just angry at this guy for taking your girl—it was decades ago, man, just get over it. And to that I say, trust me, there’s a point to this that doesn’t involve how I felt about this guy being’ wit’ my ex, so keep reading.

Mind you, while our relationship was cooling off, I noticed she was spending more and more time with this guy, and I understood whatever we had, was surely coming to an end. Then, the darndest thing happened, one day my ex told me she was conversing wit’ this dude, and she’d used some type of vernacular to get a point across—and after she did, he replied, “Oh my god, you sound so Black.”

Now, regardless of how I felt about this guy, my ex was “head over heels” in love with him. So, think about what kind of psychic damage that did to her. And mind you, one thing she never mentioned while telling me this, was not talking to him again. So, I left her a short time later.

And I can already hear folks saying, once again, yeah right—you left her (pursing lips, one mo’ time *lol*). You just told us she was dating this guy while she was with you—she probably just got sick of you and bounced. Welp, my modus operandi, at least when it comes to women, is this: if a woman I’m with, sees greener pastures elsewhere, I implore her to pursue them. But, you’re not gonna’ do that while you’re with me. So, we broke up on less that amicable terms, and she left a message on my answering machine one last time, before I knew, Id never call her again.

Moving on…

A few weeks ago, the Black man who inspired me to write this blog, curated a video detailing how he was bullied in his Bronx, New York City, junior high school, and how that experience, and his dealings with Black folks in general, had him feeling like Sigourney Weaver, in the movie, “Gorillas in the mist”.

Now, let’s break this brotha’s statement, ALL THE WAY DOWN!

This middle-aged Black man is saying, he feels like a white woman, in regard to living amongst his own kind. And to top that off, he’s calling the (hostile) young Black men he dealt with, or Black males period, gorillas. This is how perverted america’s white fascist social order, has made this man’s mind. So, here’s a question: with this kind of mind-set, how could he not hate himself for being Black? Especially, Black and male.

Moreover, you should understand that this man has amassed literally thousands of followers on his YouTube channel, 99% of which, are Black men who subscribe to this same point of view.

But I’d be remiss if I didn’t say this: when I first read this man’s blog, he came off like a “pro-Black” brotha, and he seemed to have a network of peers who voiced similar sentiments. But beyond all that, his writing was so exquisitely addicting, that it had me returning to his blog not only every day, but several times a day. So long story, short, if it weren’t for this man’s work, my blog wouldn’t exist.

With that said, I wish this man could understand how conditioned he’s been to hate his own kind. And just as important, I hope he understands he wasn’t born with these feelings. I also hope someday he’ll see the reason(s) why the Black Diaspora might be exceptionally dysfunctional, is because we have the most genetic power to breed whites out of existence, thus, the white fascist social order called america, has programmed us to hate ourselves and one another, more than any other kind of person on the planet.

Still, the above two examples are only the tip of the iceberg, when it comes to the kinda’ psychic sickness the american status quo afflicts on Black folks. And for those who still think, what I’m saying is hyperbolic, remember, only our people, are made to believe that we’re the poorest people on earth, the ugliest people on earth, the laziest people on earth, etc. And I’m sad to say that unfortunately, I think this man is doomed to think this about himself til the day he dies—mostly ‘cause, he’ll never see or work with the problem of his self-hatred, at subconscious levels. That is, if he ever recognizes he’s got a problem.

Thus, it’s with these two examples in mind, that I finally write about a homeschooling solution to Black self-hatred.

Now, why do I say that homeschooling is a solution to the collective problem of Black self-hatred? For 3 reasons—and they are…

Reason #3: Homeschooling gives us more (physical) time with our kids, so we can more easily gauge what and who’s influencing them.

Reason#2: Black children who are home schooled and come through a nurturing academic system that caters to them, will have a greater chance of “wanting” to work with their own kind, thus the prospect of real unity for our people, can become a reality.

Reason#1: And finally, homeschooling gives Black parents a way to mold the subconscious minds of their children, in a way that’ll have them loving and not hating themselves.

So, without further ado, let’s get into the steps needed to start this most important endeavor. And let me say, I sincerely hope this post not only leads to a real first step for Black folks looking to invest in home schooling for their children, but to a first step towards the prospect of a real unity for every member of the Black Diaspora.

Now family, I thought I was gonna’ get into a bit more of a discourse as to why homeschooling is such a vital endeavor, but I think everyone reading this, gets that. So, let’s just dive right into the 3 most necessary steps needed to start homeschooling…

Step#1. First off, start with your state’s requirements.

The best way to do this, is just by googling your state and the words, “homeschooling requirements”. And understand, every state’s standards are gonna’ be different, but this will give you a list of everything needed to get you up and running.

And more than likely, this google query will pull up a link to your state’s board of education, and their list of whatever they’ll need to certify your homeschooling initiatives. And these will probably include: hours of instruction you, the homeschooler, must provide per year, how to notify the state’s school superintendent of your intention to home school, and how often you’ll need to do so, how to provide assessments of your child’s schoolwork, etc. There are also usually “pdf” files you can download, which detail everything needed when it comes to qualifying yourself as a homeschooler.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS THE FIRST STEP TO EVERYTHING, SO BE EXTRA VIGILANT AND HYPER-METICULOUS WHEN IT COMES TO THIS PART OF THE PROCESS!

Step#2. Choose your curriculum

Now, this might be the toughest part of the process, especially if you’ve never done this before, however, there’s an entire industry totally dedicated to creating home schooling (curriculum) packages. And on the Black homeschooling side of things, if you take a look at the “National Black Home Educators” (NBHE) website, you’ll find Black-owned companies, who have educational “packets/packages” geared towards teaching our children. One such example is: Joyce Burges’s “Classification of Science”, A US History Series by Joy Hakim, Prentice Hall Grammar and Composition books, etc. And I’ll mos def leave a link to that website and others like it, at the end of this post.

Additionally, there’s free online curriculum-building resources, if none of the “box sets” are to your liking. Either way, you shouldn’t feel alone while doing this, cause there’s literally hundreds of homeschooling brothas and sistas out there, that got your back.

Step#3. Decide your daily and yearly schooling schedule.

Now, depending on what your state requirements are, you may have the option to home school year-round, or you can follow the traditional school months and years to coincide with whitey’s school system, so your children don’t feel like they’re in any way socially awkward when it comes to summertime activities with their friends.

And (another) one of the perks of home schooling is, you can be flexible about course scheduling if you need to. Meaning you can tailor make a schedule to fit your specific needs—so again, don’t let yourself get overwhelmed with any of these tasks, cause there’s a lot of help out there.

Now, I know I said I’d give ya’ 3 tips, but since I’m enjoying writing this post, let’s go for 4. And the 4th is…

Step#4. Find your network

Understand, that there’s hundreds of thousands of brothas and sistas who’re home schooling in america alone—so again, don’t feel like you have to do this all by yourself. Once more, what I’ll do at the end of this post, is provide several links to Black home school collectives, and there, you can find resources and networking partners you’ll need to better serve your children, so you can keep their (subconscious) minds outta’ whitey’s clutches.

And lastly, if you have no intention of homeschooling yourself, you can always send your child to a home schooling co-op or collective. Again, there’s one in every major city.

Additionally, the greatest perk of the Black homeschooling equation is, even if you’re a brainwashed Black man or woman, who wants nothing to do with Black men and women (Swirlrs), you should be able to understand, THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU STUPID, IT’S ABOUT OUR CHILDREN

So, if you have no intention of home schooling, or sending your child to a home school, it would still behoove you (and all of us), to at least contribute to these organizations.

Just buying or donating some pens, notebooks, crayons, bookbags, etc. could mean the difference between one of our children being taught to love themselves or hate themselves in P.S. whatever # school in your area.

FAMILY, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK WE’VE GOT TO DO!

Cause one thing I’m sure of right off the rip, is any Black person over 30 ain’t thinkin about, thinking about changing, when it comes to doing the work of reconditioning the subconscious mind. So, it’s up to us to switch our focus to saving the babies—cause that’s our last, best hope for creating a generation of our people, that want to unite with each other. And let me say again, that unity is the only antidote to white fascism—so let’s give our children the ammunition they’ll need to administer the lethal injection that’ll kill off this pale-skinned, degenerative disease.

Later…

P.S.

*Addendum: 7/25/18 I must apologize to the family for the former video that accompanied this post. I'd only viewed three-quarters of that video, and when I viewed the latter parts, I saw that the parents, the Black father especially, was saying his son would eventually go to whitey's learning facilities at some point in his grade or secondary school career. Now, that was a classic case of whitey's bait and switch technique. Meaning, that vid was a propagandized piece of non-sense, meant to dissuade Black parents from homeschooling their children. Cause we should understand, the last thing whitey wants, is a generation of our children who aren't operating in a self-hating and self-destructive mind-set. Cause well-adjusted young Black men and women who don't hate themselves and each other, might produce "pure-bred" Black children, with the most genetic power to breed them out of existence. And whitey can't have that. So, here's a clip that better displays the advantages of homeschooling our children. Enjoy.


P.P.S. 

HERE and HERE are listings of Black homeschooling collectives, that I promised earlier in this post.

P.P.P.S.

Family, I encourage you to let me know if this post was helpful in the comment section, and if you have any helpful resources to add, please leave those comments as well. I want this post to be more like a resource page, than an editorial, so your input would mos def be appreciated. Thanks.
