Black Collectivism, Pt. I

Solidarity is essential to the empowerment of the black people. The mighty black race of the future will be a conglomeration of all the myriad nations, tribes, and sub-races that characterize the contemporary black race.

Western control and subjugation of the black race is not as simple an endeavor as one might readily assume. It is not simply a matter of continued racial impariment attributed to residual and lasting effects of enslavement, deprivation of opportunity for economic establishment, deprivation of opportunity for comprehensive education, refusal of voting rights, mass and ubiquitous use of racial violence, and other imperious, tyrannical mechanisms for furthering racial dominance. These more tangible, brutish means were relatively inefficacious in of themselves. They suffocate the physical form but not the spiritual. Though they are brutal and devastating, ultimately these physical obstacles are surmounted by the oppressed. You may beat a man endlessly, but if he knows fortitude then he can never truly be conquered.

If one can manipulate the psyche of a man and inculcate within him a certain philosophy, a certain mode of thought, then no beating is necessary.

It is through deliberate and calculated programming of the vulnerable black psyche that the black man inherently comes to embody and follow the traits and roles expected of him in the Western world.

But programming transcends simply ingraining certain ideas and assumptions pertaining to the individual (and their group), relative to their enviornment, into the collective cultural psyche. Programming is most effective when used to manipulate the sociocultural interactions between sub-races of the greater race. Colloquially we refer to this strategy as "divide and conquer". It is a most classic and unfailing method of seizing control over a specified subject (or populace of subjects).

"Black intraracial inconsonance". This is the illness that afflicts blacks throughout the diaspora. In Africa it manifests itself most acutely in the intertribal, international conflicts that characterize contemporary African culture. Anyone who has seen 2004 film Hotel Rwanda is aware of the most famous example of black-on-black warfare---the conflict between the Hutu and the Tutsi. Close to 1,000,000 black Africans were murdered in this senseless conflict that was born by the malice of Belgian colonialists. Shrewdness (and a malicious sort) more than any other characteristic, distinguishes the European in his dealings with non-white peoples. The usual culprits, racist anthropologists, led the way in setting the foundation for the carnage that was to come. During this era whence the Hutu-Tutsi conflict arose anthroplogists first commenced endorsement of the Hamitic Hypothesis.

The Hamitic Hypothesis is anthropological supposition that in ancient times Caucasians swept into various different parts of Africa and left their cultural and genetic traits upon the countenance of the population. This was a most convenient tool for racists to further promulgate their message of white racial superiority, as any ethnic group in Africa that demonstrated a semblance of resemblance to the supposedly "Caucasian" phenotype, demonstrated some semblance of "sophisticated" culture, or demonstrated some semblance of valor (or any other honorable trait for that matter) was automatically distinguished as Hamitic. Henceforth, their greatness was assumed to be correlated with their whiteness. Although officially the Hamitic Hypothesis is no longer endorsed, its legacy still lives on in anthropologists and in their assessment of certain African ethnic groups, particularly East Africans.

Anthroplogists observed the physical traits of Tutsi and contrasted them with those of the Hutu. The Tutsi exhibited a taller physique and more supposedly "Caucasoid" facial features (longer nose, less prognathism, etc) which was sufficient to merit them classification in the "Hamitic" category. The Hutu were shorter, exhibited more "Negroid" features (wide nose, heavy prognathism, etc) and henceforth were declared racially inferior to the Tutsi. In 1932, official identification cards were issued to distinguish the officially superior Tutsi from the officially inferior Hutu. Thus began the altercation between two nations who had, until then, coexisted in harmony. This is a common tactic in the arousal of intertribal conflicts---some Western power will endorse and support one faction or group at the expense of another thereby instigating violent conflict. Belgium endorsed Tutsi dominance until the Tutsi king was overthrown in 1959.

Now, Belgian support was nowhere to be found.

The Hutu sought to regain their pride and reestablish their humanity through violent reprisals. Rwanada then won independence from Belgium in 1962 and Belgians officially rescinded any acknowledgement of participation in the instigation in this conflict and did not seek to mitigate or settle this violent conflict that they had set in motion. After all, Belgians still had socioeconomic interests in Rwanda and still has business interests set up in that nation. A divided Rwanda was a fecund Rwanda. The Hutu-Tutsi conflict culminated in the 1994 genocide. With the tables now turned, the same racist identification cards that served as badges of superiority for naive Tutsi now served as their death sentences. The Hutu attained dominance and murdered hundreds of thousands of Tutsi and Hutu who sympathized with their cause.

All along, the Hutu and the Tutsi were playing into the hands of a master, nefarious magician who sought the destruction of this fine land and these fine peoples. Instead of recognizing the true enemy and rising up against him, rather they sought to annihalate themselves.

Earlier I stated that use of brute force and outright aggression (by an oppressor against the oppressed) is devastating, but ultimately highly energy-consuming and inefficacious. Its inevitable that the subjugated will rise. He knows his enemy. But if you can modify the psyche of the oppressed peoples and create a conflict wherein the oppressed cannot identify their true enemy (as the Belgians did by creating this idea of superiority in Tutsi's and inferiority in Hutu's, thereby setting off hostility) then the oppressed people are now unconsciously employed by the oppressor as the manifestors of their own oppression. The Belgians installed a system, a doctrine in which the Tutsi (acting on the part of whites) appeared to be the oppressors. The Hutu misidentified them as such and as soon as the Tutsi lost backing of the Belgians, bloody hell ensued.

Tribalism is the scourge of Africa. It is Africa's natural weak link, its own Achilles heel. In Africa there are over 920 million people divided hundreds of ethnic groups (I cannot provide an estimation) speaking over 2,000 languages. Contrast this with psuedo-continent Europe holding 730 million people speaking about 230 languages in 50 countries. Further, Europe is united by a common lingua franca, English, a ubiquitous tongue that Africa cannot boast of. Unity and collectivization are key to empowerment. We must all take pride in the histories and legacies of our individual nations, tribes, faiths, etc---but we must also realize that we will have to sacrifice and compromise at least part of our tribal identites in favor of a greater, cosmopolitan, more universal identity. There must be a unified racial identity that we pledge to and commit to first and foremost, above all other identities. I am black---then I am my tribe, or nation, etc. We must understand that this is the perspective that characterizes the behavior of the Western man in all of his functions and doings. We must realize that our blackness binds us into a common, brutal, seemingly eternal struggle and that we must not seek to escape or deny that blackness, but rather embrace it for the beautiful trait that it is. Blackness is no scarlet letter---it is only in white eyes. I will elaborate upon the significance of unity and solidarty in a later article. It is a philosophical yet practical truth that no people can achieve power without unity.

Anthropology is our greatest culprit in this deliberate and calculated dichotomization of the black race. In "Black Collectivism, Pt. II" we will examine anthropology's significant role in the division of the black people and its use of the Hamitic Hypothesis (or the Hamitic Myth, rather), the study of genetics, and the study of language to bolster its fallacious and racist arguments.

*I am cognizant of the fact that "intraracial" is technically not an actual term. I coined it.

A Black Thought

Black. What is so unfortunate is that so few of us truly know what this means, what this represents, and what this is. In this world, black has been synonymized with ignorance, with inferiority, with animalism. We have fallen victim to the lies and perpetual and pervasive minstrelsy and allowed it to pollute our minds and hearts and even transmogrify us into these caricatures of our true selves. Black has been cast as a shadow of what it truly is.

As an individual descending from the noble children of Africa it is my vested duty and moral obligation to vociferously refute the ubiquitous allegations of inferiority put forth, in so many ways, subtle and direct, against my people by the Western man. The Western man has expressed his contempt in whatever way most convenient, at times concealing his true intent with promulgation of "equality" and "humanity" and at other times displaying his true colors, bearing his vicious fangs as a preying wolf may to the sheep it must devour in order to survive. The Western man will, in the same breath, speak of human equality and brotherhood while so arrogantly assessing and evaluating the capability of blacks in intellectual capacities, cultural development, and will even question our very right to exist upon this Earth. This Earth that the black people have done no wrong to, that we have only sought to fertilize and worship and preserve, this is the venue upon which the white man says that we have accomplished nothing, upon which he implies and insinuates so insidiously that we have no right to exist.

The imperative truth is that the Western man has, since his ascendence the the throne of world dominance, established and retained a firm control over all in his domain---and much outside of it as well. Let us view the power-holders in media, government, academia, business, etc...and let us view their skin color. The ubiquity of white-skinned person's of influence has become (and remained) so prevalent that their rule and authority has come to be recognized by all as simply a state of normalcy. In the eyes of so many, white might is simply right. It is this unconscious maxim, this putatively unalterable law of life that echoes and perpetually reiterates in the psyche's of all denizens of the white mans world. It is this idea that provides the sustenance and fodder necessary to uphold and sustain the continued dominance of the Western man.

Why do we fail to ruminate upon and inquire about the persisting racial heirarchal structure that bounds, to varying degrees, each and every individual in the United States? Why is it that we have come to, not just accept, but embrace its seeming normalcy? America fancies itself as an exemplar of racial equality while schools located in mostly black demographics still cannot begin to match the quality of education in schools in mostly white demographics. America, how can you proclaim yourself equal when such blatant and inexcusable disparity still exists in 2009?

What the Western man hides most virulently is the fact that it is from our black ancestors that he derived his knowledge, that he acquired the tools that enabled him to ascend from the filth and decay that characterized his very being into civilization. It was the Greeks who praised black Africans as "the most beautiful people in the world"; it was Homer, in his "Iliad", who praised blacks as "faultless" and noble enough to feast among the God's; it was Diodorus Siculus who acknowledged and professed blacks as, "the first of all men"and the most virtuous. It was under the wise black sages of Egypt that Greek men learned, not only basic cleanliness and hygiene, and morality, but the disciplines of philosophy, religion, morality, astronomy, geometry, architecture, medicine, writing, and speaking. It was from Africa that all of these philosophies and ideas came, and no where else! But you will never hear a white man profess this because he cannot profess the truth!

The truth defies his very nature.

In creating a new black race and seeking to emerge from this seemingly perpetual Dark Age, this era of decadence (which, since our emergence is inevitable, we shall), it is most important that we possess a firm understanding of our ancestral roots and of the collective efforts of and the cultural accomplishments of these magnificent individuals whom we call our forebearers. In seeking to progress a culture, nothing is so imperative as awareness (and, firm awareness at that) of one's racial genealogy. It is in our history that we locate and unearth the gifts and inspirations that our forebearers, unbeknownst to us, bequeathed upon us at their passing. It is from knowledge of our history that we feed ourselves and form our identity, our character, and our perception of self. Never in any other area has the Western man been so ardent as in denial of our history. History is crucial. The Western man has superseded actual history with nefarious fabricated myths and lies. Our ancestors have left their footprints in every corner of Africa, erecting the pyramids of Kemet, the Black Land (and in her probable predecessor, Sudan), temples in Mali, castles in Ethiopia. Africa, North, South, East, and West is the natural domain and enviornment of the black man. All others who occupy her soil today are intruders and invaders, not natural denizens. It hurts the Western man most that our ancestors left their footprints across Europe, colonizing Greece, building Stonehenge, conquering Spain (both by Hannibal and by the Moors who came long after him), and planting the seeds of civilization that have sprouted the great Western beast that now so ironically seeks to devour and annihalate the very master that is responsible for its existence.

To put forth a black thought is to examine the situation of the white supremacist power structure that underlies virutally all transpirations in the United States and the surrounding buffer states of the Western Empire. It is to understand how this structure was so thoroughly and efficaciously engineered and designed so that it has deliberately rendered the black races in all corners of the world debilitated and lost. To put forth a black thought is to ask, "Why is it that implicit bias tests reveal most Caucasians bear a moderate dislike for blacks?" To put forth a black thought is to ask, "Why is it that even many of our own black brothers and sisters have a preference for Caucasians?" To put forth a black thought is to ask, "Why does the white man obsess over my intelletual abilities or a supposed lack thereof?" To put forth a black thought is to ask, "Why has the Western man found it so imperative and crucial to erase the black man from the pages of history, even in the black man's own backyard, with such obsessive fervor?" To put forth a black thought is to ask, "Why are all of the nations of my people so impoverished in spite of their vast resources that the West seems to be making great use of?" But thinking black cannot be satisfied by mere philosophizing. Thinking black must be manifested, it must be incarnated.

Here, we shall incarnate...a black thought.
