Racism and Blackness
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_supremacy
Black supremacy is a racist[1] ideology which holds that black people are superior to other people and is most often thought of in connection with anti-white racism, anti-Semitism and bigotry towards non-black people.In modern history, black supremacy is most evident among various religions or cults. Black supremacy, as with supremacism in general, is rooted in ethnocentrism and contains varying degrees of racism and xenophobia. Associations of black supremacy with calls for Black Pride, Black Power, ethnic cleansing and racial separation are common, but not necessarily intrinsic. Due to the similar racist and separatist ideologies, many black supremacist organizations have joined forces with white supremacist or extremist organizations
While black supremacism is viewed by human rights organisations[6] and black leaders of the American Civil Rights Movement, such as Roy Wilkins, as equivalent to the white supremacy movement,[7][8] some African Americans consider black supremacy acceptable because of its message about black self-respect, black self-sufficiency and black economic improvement. Mortimer B. Zuckerman wrote in an 1992 article in U.S. News & World Report that Jesse Jackson, for instance, "has applauded minister Louis Farrakhan, whose basic message is of black supremacy over whites and hatred of Jews".[9]Others explain black supremacism as a form of Black rage.[10] The term Black rage is derived from a book by psychologists, William Grier and Price Cobbs. In their work, Grier and Cobbs argue that many black people living in a predominantly white and sometimes racist society are psychologically damaged by the effects of oppression and that this damage may cause some black people to think or behave in destructive ways.
Cornel West, professor of Religion at Princeton University, for instance, describes in his essay "Malcolm X and Black Rage" black supremacy as a reactionary phenomenon to counter white supremacy. He comments:
The basic aim of Black Muslim theology -- with its distinct Black supremacist account of the origins of white people -- was to counter white supremacy. Yet this preoccupation with white supremacy still allowed white people to serve as the principal point of reference. That which fundamentally motivates one still dictates the terms of what one thinks and does -- so the motivation of a Black supremacist doctrine reveals how obsessed one is with white supremacy….[11]
Black rage was proposed, but not used, as defense for the Colin Ferguson mass murder trial. Ferguson murdered six white people and injured nineteen others. Ferguson's lawyers argued that he should not be held criminally liable, for actions which broke the law, because he was overcome with rage at society's racist discrimination against African-Americans. During a speech at Howard University, Khalid Abdul Muhammad, at that time spokesman of the Nation of Islam, later national chairman of the New Black Panther Party, lauded the actions of Colin Ferguson: "I love Colin Ferguson, who killed all those white folks on the Long Island train. God spoke to Colin Ferguson and said, 'catch the train, Colin, catch the train."
jew-hating, white-hating, attempts to legally justify violence and murder of whites (including random killing) as simply an affliction known as "black rage syndrome"...it just seems to me that while we justly condemn racists of most sorts, that black racists always manage to fly below the radar of widespread public scrutiny in the media, in our everyday lives, and even here at kmc, where black racists are free to preach hate toward white people. why do we have these double standards? is it 'white guilt'? do some people have the right to be hateful racists? discuss.......or merge threads....whichever 😉
