Thoughts On Fire and Brimstone From A Black Racist

This woman tells herself - and us - the lies, over and over. White supremacy, she says. The emperors, she says. Utterly undone, she says. And why is this? It's because of her own prejudice and her own lies, embedded deeply within her personal worldview. Witness her earlier scream for attention in Salon: calling for burning just as she now calls for burning. That will get the white supremacists' attention, and show how civilized we blacks actually are.

"There will be no justice for Michael Brown, so there will be no surrogate acts of “dignity” from protesters.

Neither should we any longer submit to the disciplinary impulses of the “rule of law.” The rule of law wants to beat into us, through “discipline,” the belief that we –black people — would be animals but for its chastening rod of correction. The law stepped to a podium yesterday, under cover of night, to tell us that it reserves the right to slaughter black men with impunity, that it seeks to coerce through threat of force, our permission to do so.

To ask us to be “dignified and disciplined,” to ask us to “respect the rule of law” in the face of such a mockery of justice is to ask us to affirm the path to our own destruction.

Surely America knows black folks better than that."

All this is based on her own lie, that Brown had his hands up, a pre-judgment (prejudice) based on no facts whatsoever. Brown, in this woman's mind represents the reasons for hate that lie next to this woman's surface waiting the "trigger" to blow into fiery and firebombing rage, blind, self-righteous, racist rage.

"Did you expect me to call for peace? Did you expect me to condemn looting and property damage? Did you expect me to preach at the people about being constructive rather than destructive?"

No, absolutely not, because I read your earlier article, which was filled with racist invective.

" Perhaps looting seems like a thing we can control. I refuse. I refuse to condemn the folks engaged in these acts, because I respect black rage. I respect black people’s right to cry out, shout and be mad as hell that another one of our kids is dead at the hands of the police. Moreover I refuse the lie that the opportunism of a few in any way justifies or excuses the murderous opportunism undertaken by this as yet anonymous officer.

The police mantra is “to serve and to protect.” But with black folks, we know that’s not the mantra. The mantra for many, many officers when dealing with black people is apparently “kill or be killed.”"

While she fluctuates between hate and moderation, her hate grips her the most tightly: she defines Brown's death as "murderous opportunity" for a bloodthirsty white supremacist. Facts are not necessary when one is in a racist rage. She makes the targets of her racist rage into unstable and irrational oppressors, fearing the blackness of Obama.

"I believe that racism exists in the inexplicable sense of fear, unsafety and gnawing anxiety that white people, be they officers with guns or just general folks moving about their lives, have when they encounter black people. I believe racism exists in that sense of mistrust, the extra precautions white people take when they encounter black people. I believe all these emotions have emerged from a lifetime of media consumption subtly communicating that black people are criminal, a lifetime of seeing most people in power look just like you, a lifetime of being the majority population. And I believe this subconscious sense of having lost control (of the universe) exists for white people, at a heightened level since the election of Barack Obama and the continued explosion of the non-white population."

She "analyzes" whites to satisfy her own warped image. She does nothing to come to grips with the reality of Brown as a bullying thug, nor with the multiple eyewitnesses who saw Brown charge the officer and get into the window of the patrol car. And the blood, Brown's blood, inside the patrol car - no mention of that. Brown, is not a fact in her world, Brown is a tool of her rage, her racist condemnations of whites being force-fit into cop-murder of an innocent black.

"The irony is that black people understand this heightened anxiety. We feel it, too. We study white people. We are taught this as a tool of survival. We know when there is unrest in the souls of white folks. We know that unrest, if not assuaged quickly, will lead to black death. Our suspicions, unlike those of white people, are proven right time and time again."

And every black killed by a white is a trumped up "murder" of blacks by whites; there is no self-defense from blacks even possible in the world of black racism. It is now trite to point out that the bullets blacks should fear comes not from whites; the bullets come from other blacks in far, far higher rates, and they do, in fact, kill innocent bystanders in their hailstorms of bullets. But that actual fact has no relevance to racism, and is thus not useful or necessary for her to address.

"(Do you feel the struggle in these words? The utter inadequacy of them? The struggle to contain and train my rage on the proper (white) people, and not all of them? The challenge of trying to narrate black rage, and black pain, and black fear, and black freedom dreams deferred – again—in hopes that white folks would really understand? The resentment at my failure? The rage at my having to do so in the first place?) Of course blacks are exactly as free as they want to be. Many, like this woman, want to be free of law, as she said above.

Tupac famously asked “if there was a heaven for a gangsta.” I find myself hoping there’s a hell for white supremacists. But too many of them believe in Jesus. So fire and brimstone in Ferguson and beyond will have to suffice."

Yes, all whites are "white supremacists". That is the problem for racist blacks: whites exist.
