Sounding the death Knell...

The sporadic protests by diverse coalitions of angry, disaffected young black folks, white progressives, liberals and others with a profound concern for an abysmal lack of fair play and injustice spurred by questionable killings of three unarmed black men, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and Tamir Rice (who was certainly not a man but a pre-teen) over the last, past six months may sound the death knell for white supremacy in these United States.

Utterly irrelevant, angry, aging, racist relics like former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former New York State Governor George Pataki, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity as well as a host of less well known but equally influential white folks, (like the corrupt, racist judges who unlawfully took my child from me), prosecutors who refused to indict these killer cops, just to show there was enough probable cause in those deaths meriting a trial would have quelled these protests not by righting a demonstrable wrong but by letting a jury decide the perpetrators’ fate.

Instead the white power structure arrogantly changes the rules in the middle of the game telling us through blurred camera lens and muffled microphones of secretly sympathetic “journalists” with a straight face, a wink, and a nod, that in every case the killings were unilaterally deemed de minimus, suggesting the evidence in their biased worldview was considered so negligible it did not justify pursuing any legal action whatsoever.

These racist whites not only cling to their “guns and religion,” but deep-seated fears of racial annihilation by the prototypical big-dicked black man – the King Kong metaphor with art imitating life – ravaging the virtuous, pretty, young white woman who in this instance is symbolized by white society at large.

By brutally enforcing white supremacist values through institutionalized racism characterized by an unmitigated hubris, which allows a plain clothes New York City police officer to choke the living hell, indeed life, out of "a big black man" in living color, the white power structure through the police show the metaphorical "nigger" who is in control. It is is why in the aftermath Giuliani said "they [police] protect us [white people] from them [niggers]." What he meant to say is that they [police] control them [animals] for us [white folks], however.

True to form, to the rescue comes Uncle Remus, the mythical black character known for his sage wit who to our chagrin devolves into little more than an effete apologist for white supremacist values by transforming into the universally reviled Uncle Tom before our very eyes. It becomes surreal: a veritable minstrel show as the usual suspects, compromised Negros parade out in lockstep asking us to suspend common law and common sense, all while touting their obeisance to Eurocentric, individualistic values that have never served the African community well either here in America or throughout the Diaspora.

Justice Clarence Thomas, District Court Judge Gregory M. Sleet, both of whom routinely vote against black interests; Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Armstrong Williams, Larry Elder, Alan Keyes, Herman Cain, Charles Barkley, Bill Cosby (who has been getting his comeuppance of late) and too many other shameless Negros that have forgotten where they have come from. In their zeal to slop greedily at the trough of public largesse and corporate generosity, they have collectively sold out their less fortunate brethren for thirty pieces of silver, and have become too co-opted to act as anything other than pitchmen for the status quo: maintaining (Lilly) white supremacy.

These men and women are the children of the Negros who began fleeing the inner city as fast as their charter bus sized station wagons and 20¢ per gallon leaded “high-test” gasoline would carry them straight to tangibly hostile, suspicious, barely welcoming suburbs. Bused out neighborhoods cropping up like target duckies on the outskirts of major cities, which allowed these intrepid pilgrims to realize a vestige of the American dream.

Urban decay, blight and rampant criminality, replaced the well maintained communities, which characterized the once solidly middle classed inner city neighborhoods left in their wake. Fat, sleek and well fed, reviling in their own self-aggrandizement, posh country club memberships, exclusive secondary schools, fawning adherence to prosperity ministries, and enviable vacation destinations such as Oaks Buff (long the vacation destination of the black elite.

Oaks Buff is outside of Martha’s Vineyard, and was once derisively described by famed jurist, the late, great Hon. Bruce Wright as “Spook’s Buff”), these black businessmen, ministers, accountants, doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists, educators, tradesmen and civil servants - brought into the myth, fed by wall-to-wall commentary, and regurgitated by highly paid touts: ill-informed, racist conservative talking heads on some of the most reactionary radio and television shows on the air - that they had made it, why can’t “you people” (conveniently ignoring the structural inequalities that make success for a large segment of the black community an illusory dream)? They need only to come out of those wealthy enclaves and ask one of the black twentysomething year olds manning the protest lines…
