WHAT’S GOING ON WITH BLACK FOLKS? (BLACK AMERICAN IDENTITY AND NATIONALISM)

WHAT’S GOING ON WITH BLACK FOLKS?

.

I was pondering what black people mean by “I’m just black. I’m all black.” when they are just part African and really mixed racially. I thought, is it race/genetics or ethnic identity? I thought, is it more like “I’m ghetto.” that they are stating.

.

 I just figured it out. They are declaring membership in and pledging allegiance to a political party (aka “The Black Community”) with shared beliefs, values, and internal cohesion—almost a club of coolness. There are leaders, whips, and sorts of elections. I think a lot of it is more republic and not democracy, with “royalty” and lots hereditary privilege going to black elites. A lot of it involves cult worship, pseudo-Christianity, and mysteries and mysticism in the media. A lot of it is very Lesbian. It involves the history of colonial rule and slavery and movements of social and psychological emancipation. There are a lot of libertarian and anarchic stripes to the party ethos. There is a desire to turn the tables on the slave masters forever and ever in terms of institutional revolutionary chewing of cud and celebration of gaining freedom from guilt, shame, and drudgery in symbols, revised history, storytelling and propaganda. It can be quite narcissistic and often involves self-congratulatory navel-gazing intellectualism and romanticism. “Tiggers are wonderful things!” Black culture and black people are very sociopathic, too.

.

There is resentment and hatred of current and former “overseers” or people like half breeds and middleman brokers that are identified with them even today. Black party members can not get “whites” off their TV screens and out of political offices in the media spotlight all the way. “Whites” and their ilk are simply “insane” and deviant  (to kids: “uncool”) and will not adhere to proper “ghetto orthodoxy.” They must be opposed, undermined, vilified, and unseated from power. They must have less and less influence over blacks or control any critical resources blacks require and not wound black egos. They are “Ghetto Auslander” to “Black NAZIs” with their cool “Sieg Heil?” handshakes.

.

The black party allegiance is a kind of nationalism. The black nationalists sometimes seem self-destructive, disloyal, xenophobic, and paranoid but should also be seen as nearly religious and very idealistic, ambitious, and proud.

.

Black elites attempt to broker and negotiate and compete with other groups’ leaders, sitting atop their power base and controlling their own people and territory (fiefdom) in often parasitic and opportunistic ways but not in a power vacuum or with an extreme advantage or autonomy. 

.

Some call black elites a Talented Tenth. They have powerful propaganda media (GhettoStar) and political machines and institutions and can harness very effective amounts of human capital and labor, when not fixed capital, technology, and raw materials.

.

Despite the lies on TV, it’s not the “votes” or block voting processes. This is just a symbol in the news media. It’s really the human resources/labor economic engine that is the power base. Also, the American war machine requires black participation and cooperation and support for the military-industrial complex and civil defense efforts. It is reminiscent of Booker T. Washington’s famous fingers/fist speech. 

.

Black assent is needed for all of America to function and survive—black, white, and other, but it is a somewhat uneasy marriage, and the culture war rages on and on with the constant straining of black separatism from the whole collective. I can also tell you that some black nationalists want an independent and autonomous state and homeland and not just a proud ghetto enclave.
