Lately on the news I just notice more and more black men dying. Truthfully it's either by the police or it's by the brother that looks just like you. I feel like to a degree in America either you stay who you are, who you were raised to be, the person you love or you conform and become a different person. Even then you are still subjected to occasional police interactions that are demoralizing and horrible. At the very least unprofessional and emasculating typically.
A great deal of my friends have started taking a good deal of international jobs. A good deal of them mentioned some countries more racist some countries far less racist.
It's not just that, I look at the images the media project to these black boys and girls to be. Manipulating a culture to gain dollars but destroying the people's entire self image. Confirming the slavish mentalities passed from ancestor to ancestor. I don't want that for my children.
Opinions? Questions? I'm really thinking about this the deeper I get into my studies
You asked for
honest opinions.
I know from experience this will not go over well. But bear in mind I'm no politician and I don't speak like one. Yeah, I know from speech class, that if you want to persuade people you need to tailor your speech to your audience. Preferably handing out surveys long before you deliver a speech so you can use the info to tailor your speech to that crowd. Educated pimping in away. I'm also aware in proper speech making you're suppose to interject yourself as a sympathizing figure towards the profile of your audience and in someway interject you have some shared history or characteristic with them. So, for example, when giving a speech in Chicago whoever writes Obama's speeches (few world leaders write their own speeches) will likely included in the composition that he's from Chicago as well and "understands them."
So, I realize that. It is of my choice to speak less political and more from the jump and belly like a member of the long ago Black Panther Party or Jesus.
Throughout the Americas the effects of a history entrenched in
a racial caste system still exists. Throughout all the countries of the Americas they were antagonistic. The lighter your hue the better you thought of yourself relative to the darker hued "neighbor." The darkest of the black people fell on the bottom. The lighter mixed-race people even with black antecedents were higher on the pyramid. The Quadroon Ball of New Orleans reflects this in some measure where the Quadroon was higher up on the pyramid than the mulatta and the mulatta higher up than the black woman.
At least by the time of the white American rebellion of the short Reconstruction Era, the United States positioned itself as one of the most antagonistic countries between the white and black races. This would endure into our own time. White created Jim Crow laws enshrined these antagonism, isolating black communities and thereby making it possible for blacks in the USA to literally evolve into a distinct ethnicity from whites. And Jim Crow era would erase earlier US cultural history of a "mulatto" identity. Now, all mulattos--like President Obama--would become and labeled "black." The institution of Jim Crow was supposed to help protect the purity of the white race in America.
I do think a darker skinned black man can be viewed often by cops as more "dangerous" than a lighter hued mulatto as myself, known in US lingo as a "light-skinned black." (No "dark-skinned" whites as there are in Brazil LOL.)
One aspect--at least in the USA--historically, seems to have been white men placing black women above black men.
White men and white women (but it less white women do it than white men) to this day do this in media reporting. Even Obama and other ethnic Black-American men do this. It's never black women as even
part of the problem. slightly. It's 100% the fault of black men. But news flash, black African men are not as enamored with the belligerent and harsh tongued ethnic Black-American woman as white American men and Black-American men are. They tend to look down upon ethnic Black-American women as much as they do ethnic Black-American men. They don't view ethnic Black-American women as 100% sinless in the social pathological of Black-America.
I wake up in the morning and every problem in Black-America from coast to coast is 100% my fault. But the millions of young Black-American women dating unemployed gang-bangers, having children by multiple men, none of whom support their children even monetarily, they bear absolutely
zero responsibility for anything going in Black-America. That's how Obama, ethnic Black-American men in the professional classes, and the white media projects it. Black-America is also a matriarchy. So, patriarchy can't be blamed. The one pushing you out the door to fist fight if you're a boy, is usually a woman and not a man.
Nearly all--not all but nearly all--of Black-Americas problems would cease
if young Black-American women stopped seeking out and having sex with criminal black males. It's the young women setting in stone "what a 'real man' is." Most will avoid "nerdy" dudes into school work, decline them sex, love, and respect. But the young dude knocking cats out, robbing their pockets, stealing cars... these dudes are showered with female attention, sex, and the respect accorded the gods.
White cops have to deal the violent effects of contemporary Black Culture. And they probably assume all black dudes are a violent criminal. Some white cops anyways.
Of course... how you dress and how you speak to others and cops can help you or not help you. That's life. I've got some pretty decent threads today. And I can dress like "a man" so-to-speak. Meaning I can dress at times like men did many years ago. I don't dress like I'm a juvenile. And I'll tell you... as a crackhead... years ago when I reached a clothing low point and dressed (not like a juvenile though) sort of bummy. Not quite but sort of. The way people treated and related to me was much better than the way I had dressed before that point or after that point today. People will--not just cops--treat you different depending how you're dressed. Right or wrong that is the way it is in this world. Just like women treat dudes well groomed, clean smelling, and well-dressed a lot better than they do dudes the opposite of those things.
The story of Eve and the story of the New Even the Virgin Mary provides a lesson for the history and trajectory of mankind. In Hindu India they have a saying, "When a peoples women go so goes that people."
The answer to Black-America is not as Obama and professional black men and the white media thinks. It's not pivoting on little black boys.
It's pivoting on little black girls and the values and visions they will develop while developing into young women.
They misunderstood Genesis. The history of man depended on the history of what women convinced men of and who they should be as men. In that sense it was the greatest feminist story ever told. The male and female feminists are to blinded by their apple biting to notice that though.
