My Official Stance on Homosexuality in Black People: following the logic that seems to have no crowd

Homosapiens/people are the only species that can intervene in nature to make a birth defect occur more frequently.  There are interventions that might involve intentional altering of the biological environment–such as estrogen-containing plastics in the water supply.  There are also social policies that can increase the natural occurrence of homosexuality.  I am going to discuss the social policies because those are the things that are most debated on this topic amongst black people and are most accessible to counter-racist efforts.

I do believe that homosexuality is innate in the overwhelming number of people who practice it.  To me, it is logical to assume that instinctual behavior—especially that leading to reproduction—is exceedingly difficult to alter.  I am differentiating homosexuality from gender-atypical behavior (interests and demeanor) though the latter is present in most homosexuals.  So, the clear agenda to effeminize black men and to masculinize black women which encourages atypical gender behavior in black people is not what I am addressing here.   I am here referring to policies that will lead to an increase in the rate of homosexuality that can likely be diagnosed in early childhood because it is innate in the child.

Being tolerant of and kind to people with birth defects is important for a society so as to not step onto that slippery slope of  savage totalitarianism.  Without such tolerance, some group of people will be set up to decide whether various types of people should be exterminated including those deemed too short,  who stutter, who have asthma, who are dyslexic, or who are simply “too” old. 

It seems to me that all birth defects have a natural limit because of the decreased likelihood of people with them being selected for sexual reproduction due to  the disabling effect(s) of each defect . The defect of homosexuality formerly had such a  limit.  That limit was homosexuals’ significantly lower rate than the general population of producing children.

That limit is now greatly diminishing because of the increase of homosexuals finding alternative ways to produce children with their genes.    And, this acceptance increases with each erasure of a social stigma associated with homosexuality—the ultimate of which is the acceptance of same gender marriages.

For all of these reasons, I support policies that prohibit legal discrimination against homosexuals that deny them the means to sustain their lives and some sense of happiness. As applies to black people, I see no reason to exclude them from discourse on the effort to replace white supremacy with  a system of justice  as long as such discourse does not include advocating acceptance of their disability as normal or advocating policies that promote such acceptance.   Of course, I adamantly oppose verbal and physical battery of homosexuals.  But, I also adamantly oppose policies that tend to remove the stigma of the condition.  All disabilities have a stigma as a self-correcting mechanism in nature.  Policies that remove this mechanism include the projection of homosexuality as normal in mass media and school curricula as well as the legalization of same gender marriage.

I am sorry that anyone has a birth defect.  No one has more empathy for this sad reality than me.  I’m all for science that can decrease birth defects of all manner.  But, we cannot ignore that these defects exist. 
We should not ignore the people that have them or blame them for their own disabilities by saying they “choose” them.
Yet, black people, least of all, can  afford to pretend that defects are really just uneventful “differences” because, if we do, we as a collective will become more disabled.

HUGO CHAVEZ DOES NOT REST IN PEACE

Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez. In 2005, during his first interview in the United States, Chavez said: “When we were children, we were told that we have a motherland, and that motherland was Spain. However, we have discovered later, in our lives, that as a matter of fact, we have several motherlands. And one of the greatest motherlands of all is no doubt, Africa. We love Africa. And every day we are much more aware of the roots we have in Africa…. Katrina is—indeed, has a lot to do with racism–no doubt about it. Hate against me has a lot to do with racism. Because of my big mouth, because of my curly hair. And I’m so proud to have this mouth and this hair, because it’s African.”

THERE IS PROBABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT PRESIDENT CHAVEZ WAS MURDERED BY THE USUAL SUSPECTS—WHITE FOLKS/RACISTS/WHITE SUPREMACISTS.

IN THEIR THEATERS (BATTLEFIELDS), WHITE FOLKS ALWAYS KILL OFF THE BLACKEST PEOPLE FIRST. I MOURN. I’M FLYING THE UNIVERSAL FLAG– THE QUESTION MARK– AT HALF-MAST.

Over 18 months period four progressive leaders of Latin America were diagnosed with cancer.

In August of 2010, 60-year-old Paraguayan President Fernando Lugo was diagnosed with a tumor of lymphatic system. One.

In October of 2011, 66-year-old former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was diagnosed with larynx cancer, nine months after the transfer of power to Dilma Russef. The doctors did not operate on Lulu, saying that as a result he may lose his voice forever – an extremely important tool for policy and communication.the ex-president who had a firm intention to return to politics. Two.

At the end of June of 2011, 57-year-old Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was diagnosed with pelvic cancer. Three.

In late December of 2011, media reported that 58-year-old Argentine President Cristina Kirchner would undergo surgery for cancer of the thyroid gland. Kirchner was re-elected for the second term in December of 2011 and takes a firm anti-American stance. Four.

Speaking on December 28, 2011, during an end-of-year address to the armed forces, President Chávez hinted that the odds of these persons all contracting cancer in such close succession could be a CIA plot. It is a matter of record that the murder of Fidel Castro was attempted numerous times by white folks and biomedical weapons have advanced since most of those attempts.

I believe that Hugo Chavez fights for us powerfully on the other side. It is certain that he does not rest in peace.

About Christopher Dorner’s Firing From the LAPD: It Never Was Complicated

Former LAPD officer and accused murderer, Christopher Dorner.

The facts about former LAPD officer, Christopher Dorner’s, termination as they’ve been reported through various sources, is a classic illustration of the way racism (white supremacy) works.

Already we’ve been told both that Dorner was stripped of his badge in 2009 and that his badge was found in San Diego on Febrary 7, 2013. So, in this piece, I am assuming that this situation isn’t some set-up or drama orchestrated by white folks — who are known to execute massive frauds.

In this piece, I am also not addressing the murders that Dorner is accused of recently committing in the southern California region except to say the following: 1) It is incorrect to harm any person that is not white who poses no imminent danger to the physical safety of anyone else who is not white or to major property owned by persons who are not white, and; 2) I am grateful to the Creator that neither I nor anyone whom I hold dear has ever reached the desperate state that Mr. Dorner would’ve had to have been in order to seek to end one’s own existence or that of another.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

White reporters and white editors of media with the largest audience across the nation are cooperating with white persons who are officials in the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) by presenting the story of Christopher Dorner’s firing from the LAPD in 2009 as if it’s “complicated.” Racists (white supremacists) will always try to make things seem complicated whenever black people are close to clearly understanding anything about racism (white supremacy). This is not complicated. As said in that media release (“Manifesto”), it’s “plain as day.”

In order to make a determination that Christopher Dorner should be fired from the LAPD, its Board of Rights (BOR) was only required to determine that it was “more likely than not” that Dorner lied when he said that his white female partner, Teresa Evans, kicked white male suspect, Christopher Gettler, in an excessive use of force.

The state courts held a similar but lesser standard. The courts had to decide whether the Board of Rights (BOR) REASONABLY BELIEVED that Dorner was more likely to have lied than not.

Contrary to the findings of the BOR and the California trial and appellate courts, the testimony of neither the arrestee, Christopher Gettler, nor his father, Richard Gettler, is made less significant for any of the reasons the BOR cites. That testimony was that the female arresting officer kicked Gettler in the chin and the chest and that he told his father that he had been kicked by the female arresting officer who could have only been Evans. Simple.

It is irrelevant that Gettler suffers from mental illness.

It is immaterial that Gettler got Evans’ hair color wrong one of the two times he made a statement about it.
Anyone might have a condition that makes them more prone to be confused or forgetful about something. But, if such a person makes a statement that independently matches another person’s account, it is a practical certainty that the statement is true.

It is also irrelevant in this fact set whether, at the time of his report to his sergeant of the excessive use of force by Evans, that Dorner believed he was about to get an unsatisfactory performance review from Evans. This is the claim of Evans but one that has not been reported to have been documented anywhere. It matters not whether Evans was attempting to fabricate an unsubstantiated record of poor work performance by Dorner or whether Dorner actually was performing unsatisfactorily. It is immaterial because it is a statistical improbability that amounts to a practical impossibility that Gettler and Dorner would give independent accounts of Gettler being kicked by the female arresting officer unless Evans, in fact, kicked him. Dorner was not fired for poor performance. He was fired for lying about his report of Evans using excessive force. Simple.

It is clearly not more likely that Dorner lied than that he didn’t. It is, therefore, ridiculous to conclude, as the courts did, that the Board of Rights officials reasonably believed that Dorner lied. Yet, the system of racism (white supremacy) is as designed to produce such judicial and quasi-judicial outcomes as it is designed to produce resistance to them. As counter-racism science originator Neely Fuller Jr. wrote, “The seeds of the destruction of Racism (White Supremacy) are implanted in the existence of Racism itself.”

What does matter is that Los Angeles Port Police officer, Sgt. Hernandez, who is likely a white person that claimed to witness the entire arrest, lied about telling Dorner to fix his tie when Dorner wasn’t wearing one. I suspect that this was a code for the lynch rope that he and others were conspiring to metaphorically tie around Dorner’s neck. There is no other reason that I can think of for the man to include such an obviously false and extraneous piece of data. Malicious, coded language is an ever-present part of the practice of racism.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Fresh out of the police academy in 2006, Dorner reported officers (who have Hispanic names but are arguably white) for using the word “nigger.” From that moment on, he was on the clock kept by the terrorist collective of white persons as a target of even greater mistreatment than he would normally receive as a black person. I’m sure with Mr. Dorner’s confusion about the system of racism (white supremacy), he had no clue that white folks were laying in wait for him with special plans for harm. This confusion was, necessarily, infused daily with his intimate interactions with white folks whom he “dated” and called his “friends.”
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If Mr. Dorner is still breathing, he surely sees now that this entire planet is a prison run by white supremacists. Whether they smiled at him, cried with him, drank beer with him, swore an oath to justice, or whispered sweet and absolute nothings in his ear, white folks meant him harm. Heck, I wonder if he’s heard the latest about Richard Gettler? The elder Gettler says he told Dorner that filing the report about his son being kicked by Evans was making “too big a deal” out of it. Best wishes to Mr. Dorner on the other side. Simple but hard.
Doesn’t get any simpler or any harder.

What Do Clarence Thomas & Barack Obama Have in Common?

Besides the fact that both were wearing red ties when sworn in by white guys and have intimate connections to white women? This: I’ve seen/heard more angry words by black people for Clarence Thomas than for Antonin Scalia. More angry words for Barack Obama than for Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, or Bill Clinton (who filled the prisons with black men and turned off the heat for black babies). Few people know that Justice Thomas had to personally move all of the storage boxes out of his office when he finally made it onto the court 21 years ago; that Thomas was offered no help in getting any clerks to help get him up to speed after coming into the court’s term late following the long drama of confirmation after the allegations about his misconduct with Anita Hill. Justice Thomas was “the help.” He still is.

Thomas recently broke his record 7 YEAR silence during oral arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court. I’ve always thought that Thomas’ conspicuous silence is a deliberate acknowledgement and protest by him that, despite all the skinning and grinning any of us can do, under this system of global racism (white supremacy), we’ve got very little meaning–especially within any formal role in white folks’ structures. This is true despite the fact that Supreme Court Justices don’t get booted from office by elections nor, to my knowledge, has any ever been assassinated. So, why, given the much greater risk of harm to himself and his family, would one expect President Obama to be assertive on issues that affect black people?

I find Justice Thomas to be pitiful. And, I’m mostly full of pity for President Obama, too. Heck, I’m at least as pitiful myself. But, I direct my fury towards white folks when forced to confront our condition.

No, I’m not waiting on white folks to save us from them. Neither have I any words of condemnation for black people who participate in white folks’ vast enterprise. I don’t know any black person who can avoid doing that. But—I’d rather have 50 black family law judges or 5,000 city zoning commission members across this part of the world than 1 black president.

Sometimes, I think Mr. Obama was permitted to be elected just so black people could salve our self-esteem by either hailing him as the savior OR by playing a very stylish “dozens” on him instead of feeling better about ourselves because we’re actually significantly increasing our constructive activity.– Because, unfortunately, white folks still know us too well.

Another TRUE Alpha Male Spoke & I Missed It

I’m actually not a warrior by nature. Not at all. I’ve been forced into doing battle with words because I am a victim of this most unjust system of racism (white supremacy). But, because I am not a warrior by nature, I sometimes survey the field, take note of positions and then march along with my head in the turtle shell I use for a tank. In doing so, I often miss acts of alliance and, even, valor for my goal of justice. So, here’s another. This one was a message from Big Jo to Jay in the Black Dimension about black women’s issues always being conflated with and, usually, overwhelmed in discussion about those of black males:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Jay in the black dimension,

May I provide an analogy? Can you imagine someone has passed and you are at their funeral? A male comes up to deliver a eulogy. The person starts off the eulogy saying, ‘Susan endured a painful life just like my wife’ and begins to spend the entire time discussing the pain of his wife. There would be no doubt that the speaker’s wife may indeed have had a painful life. But that wasn’t the time, the place nor the purpose for him to express the grievances he had for his deceased wife. That would be inappropriate and counterproductive towards the general purpose of someone’s eulogy.

I think you may be experiencing something similar on this blog. These posts are intended to highlight the unique pain and trauma that black women have to endure as victims of white supremacy. Especially, the abuse they receive from black males as both the things they do AND things that THEY DO NOT DO. When I say things they do not do, I mean things like empathizing with the unique struggle that black women have to undergo.

As stated by many of the lady writers on this site, they have no hesitance when empathizing with the plight of black males and providing any support needed.

This is a non-reciprocal relationship. Reciprocity is one of the pillars of justice outlined by Ma’at. This only 1 example of a violation of justice (Ma’at). You cannot produce justice while violating a tenet of justice.

I believe that’s one of the things that the ladies are trying to communicate. I could be wrong, as I am a male, and I do not have the relatively more evolved communication abilities as females do.

Summarily, this topic is designed to address problems of black women in regards to White Supremacy. Lumping in or trying resurface the problems of black males, is inappropriate and counterproductive to the intended purpose as in the example of the incompetent eulogy speaker (i.e. the female writer who suspected that a form of derailment was taking place.)

As a side note, this is evidence of saying my close female friend. Stating that, Black men do not listen to us. In order for black men to stop mistreating black women, it will require black men telling other black men to stop and pointing out their incorrect behavior. This is partially why I felt compelled to write this.

As a person who is a member of a group who has victimized others, it is necessary for you to endure painful criticism (as black victims expect from white supremacists). Why? It is the correct thing to do. “We” effed up, we should AT LEAST be willing to take the pain of some minor gripes, and up to vitriolic diatribes. After all, we are partially involved at a group-level.

They are our women. If we truly love them that much, we should be there for them, to share their pain. And the longing and hope to be active participants in bringing about the end to their suffering.

Big Jo”

A Tribute, Apology, and Thanks to Emissary of War

It has come to my attention that a commenter to this blog with the handle, “Denzelsausageton” has the same handle as Tariq Nasheed, producer of the documentary series Hidden Colors. While looking for commentary by Denzelsausageton on this blog, I found this gem by EmmissaryOfWar addressed to Mr. Sausageton. I so very much regret that I did not reply to it when it first appeared. The reason that I did not respond is that I barely skimmed it because I could not bare to read it then. You see, EmmissaryOfWar has been someone who has always been so supportive of logic even when it took a detour of whatever was popular in a given clique. He has also been an investor in my efforts by allowing me to purchase several books by authors I have interviewed on my radio program. I was terrified of my disappointment if even he had turned a deaf ear to us. My soul just could not take it.

When I read the comment this evening, with my soul re-charged from the relentless hammering by black males who I’d never questioned as allies and followers of logic before, what I discovered was the only summary by a black male of the case that the black women on this blog have been making about our collective mistreatment by our counter-parts— including their refusal to listen to us talk about it. So, this post is a message from Mr. EmissaryOfWar to Denzel Sausageton (AKA Tariq Nasheed?) and other black men who hold views similar to those Mr. Sausageton expressed on this blog

“There are BASIC ideals that need to be understood before we can think of defeating our supreme enemy and some of the primary ones are. The UNION of the OPPOSITE. This ideal according to Ourstory is many millennia old and seems to play an important part in balance. Another truth seems to be, that you cannot rise higher than your Black women. She reflects the status of your society/home. So if it is ok for her to be punched, beat, raped, abducted, ritually sacrificed and then discarded, then what chance does our group have and how much longer would a such thing as the Black man exist. Seems to me that the height of selfishness for Black men would be to protect the Black womb from where he comes, at all cost.
Yeah white people are problem 1a but Black people and our behavior and relationships towards one another are problem 1b. We are going to have to multitask and work on both at the same time. And yes multitasking can be difficult, but I don’t think we have any other choice. This topic, that Cree and other Black women are relentlessly bringing attention to, has to be dealt with in order to recreate the UNION that is Black Woman/Man. It can be tough to hear some of their words but those words need to be said and we HAVE to listen. She carries the life and also civilizes the society, so if we truly want Maat, then her energy and concerns need to push thru; forcefully sometimes. Black men should never try to shut up a reasonable Black women and we should walk away when reason is not being displayed. Another basic ideal is that the Black man is the protector of his society and we have failed at that greatly(many say we are cowardly). So we may want to work on protecting our women instead trying to quiet them when they are pointing out deadly flaws.”

Serena Williams and Her Sexual Threat to White Females and Testosterone Challenged White Males–Guest post by Josh Wickett

Josh Wickett, the skilled veteran counter-racist practitioner and one of my favorite writers in the world, put on a clinic of counter-racist speech with the white folks on the PUA (Pick-up Artists) Blog concerning that sour-grapes mockery of Serena Williams’ beautiful figure by that marginal talent white female tennis player. So, here it is in its entirety as it arrived in my inbox this morning. It’s a tutorial. A great one. So, I hope less experienced victims in the use of compensatory conversation control will study this jewel. Gotta make our work our fun. Racists (white supremacists) do.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Guest post by Josh Wickett

OK, so I post the article on the PUA (Pick-up Artist) blog.

Now I already knew that according to code, the first white person to respond would be the white supremacist (smartest white person on the blog) and sure enough, that’s exactly what happened. “Mathew King” is a very smart white person. He is a major contributor to this site, but he’s not a “pick up artist”, he’s a theologian, with some amount of training, study and obvious interest in mans salvation and purpose in the universe.

Buts he’s still a racist; How do I know?

Because he was the first white person to respond. Why was he the first white person to respond?

Because the rest of the white people were waiting for the smartest white person to show them what to do.

That’s how it works.

You can run this experiment anytime you are surrounded by white people.

The other phenomenon I would like to highlight is the clear UNITED DEPENDENT capability white people employ in their practice of racism; i.e. white people easily cooperate and WORK TOGETHER to practice racism under the tutelage of the white supremacists. This is the pattern Ive noticed on all forums. White people who don’t even know each other and often even hate each other, will band together to attack a nonwhite person.

Do black people do this when they practice counter racism?

No.

Why not?

I don’t know. Ive been running CR experiments on this site for several months now and I know who the regular black commentators are; but they NEVER jump in to cosign or defend any of my counter racism comments the way white people jump in and promote defend racist comments.

Luckily, I find it easy, entertaining and educational to engage and defeat 5 racist at the same time with no assistance.

This has led to an interesting phenomenon.

Sometimes no person white or nonwhite will respond to a post I make.

This is a unique circumstance because racists almost never allow a counter racist to have the last word.

It used to disturb me that no one responded to my comment. But the truth is, when your code is pure, ANY respond they give will only reinforce it (and they know this).

You have placed them in “check” and rather than highlight it by responding, they try to ignore it so no one else notices.

Barring that, as per Neely Fuller’s observation, they only have 3 choices of response:

Tacky – (what the white girl did by stuffing towels in her clothes)

Trashy – (usually something sexual) “ah, ah,… maybe someone should shove a watermelon up Serenas ass…”

Terroristic – “lets see how well she plays tennis hanging from a tree”

I strongly suspect that 3rd one is the reason black people don’t practice a cooperative form of counter racism in the same way white people practice a cooperative form of racism. The tendency of black people to avoid provoking a terroristic response in white supremacists is understandable given the historical record.

But guess what?

That “event horizon” is precisely what black people must pass through if a system of racism is ever to be replaced with a system of justice. We keep trying to avoid passing through this “skinny part of the hourglass”; well… most of us that is.

I have a theory that white peoples expressed discomfort with the physical appearance of the Williams sisters is really just a diversion. What REALLY disturbs them is the Williams sisters ATTITUDE towards tennis; the diligence, confidence, focus, study, discipline…

What if black women took this same attitude in all 9 areas of people activity?

Here is what racists say is the answer to that question:

White girl makes fun of Serena Williams

I used to like women’s (girl’s) tennis as a kid. Then those bead-braided, screeching monkeys came along and ruined it forever. Not even a sweaty swaying Danish piece like Caroline Wozniacki could bring me back. Forever unclean.

Interesting how a stacked body like Serena’s could be utterly repulsive to me. It’s cartoonish in its exaggeration, and usually squeezed into tight shit that leaves nothing to the imagination. No subtlety, no delicacy. Her broad shoulders aren’t the only masculine thing about her..

Dat azzzzzz! Badonkadonk. *retch*

I’d say thwack (our Josh) can keep her, but I know he wants the milk-skinned Beckys too.

Do you think the too-tight clothing plays into the black culture of overt, obscene sexuality or just a matter of convenience for the game? And when I refer to overt, obscene sexuality, I’m thinking of nine year olds ‘popping’ their asses, the women you see on the streets wearing clothes that would make a prostitute blush, the video we’ve all seen of the children emulating sex at a party with either no adult supervision or might-as-well-be-no adult supervision. If you have to shave to wear a skirt, and I don’t mean your legs, then you shouldn’t be wearing it in public. Save that for the bedroom. Granted, a lot of white people are picking up on that, too, now, but it seems to have started in the black community.

Ugh, and NOTHING is more disgusting than a big, fat person, male or female, white, brown, yellow or black, wearing clothes that leave nothing to the imagination. Overweight and happy, fine, but wear proper fitting clothes. If your back looks like cleavage, don’t wear that shirt. cOVER IT UP. Ugh, so gross. Eww.

Serena Williams shouldn’t be playing other girls, she’s a foot taller than they are and oputweighs ‘em by half a person.
That’s how she gets to just caveman-club them right off the court.
Pit her asgainst Rafa, they can just grunt each other to death.

Its “cartoonish” to YOU because you cannot accept the phenomenon called the black woman; especially one that routinely crushes your precious “Becky” in court.
From an evolutionary perspective, womens tennis demonstrates all the qualities men values in a woman *if he could only have one* That is the key to its popularity among men; that’s why you watch it. “Masculine” is a relative term; relative to the observer. Just because you are a pussy doesn’t mean Serena is any less feminine. It just means you would have married her when she was 14 because that’s all you are confident you could have handled.

All female tennis pros (if they are any good) have pronounced masculine qualities because their craft requires it. The fact that Serena clearly appears more than capable of producing, suckling and defending a baby… just makes her more attractive from an evolutionary perspective.

But only to real men.

Womens professional tennis is not a beauty pageant, its not a popularity contest… it’s a war. Your flaccid comments about Serena are a weak attempt to compensate for and distribute your own insecurity about your own masculinity (what little of it you obviously have).

Please miss me with that ball-less rhetoric.

Well, there you have it. They mostly come at dark

Multitasking on the Re-election of President Obama: Defense AND Offense

The overwhelming number of times that I’ve lost a chess game to my gentlemate/partner/husband as well the few times I’ve beaten him have taught me something about how to view Barack Obama’s re-election as POTUS:

A successful war strategy strikes a balance between optimism and skepticism. Being too optimistic makes you prey to traps. But, if you’re too skeptical, you’ll fail to move on opportunities to advance to victory.

So, the question is whether Mr. Obama’s election in 2008 and, again, in 2012 were Trojan horses—traps. Or, whether they were opportunities to move against racists (white dominators) in more than a cosmetic way. I am one who does not think that is clear. And, I don’t think the smartest racists know how it will turn out either.

I’ll fall back on my living room chess experience. In the middle of a strategy, there are lots of moves that are gambles. Advancing in one direction leaves a corridor for the advancement of the adversary. On a competitor’s way to positioning for the win, he/she becomes vulnerable—often several times— in some way that he/she can only hope the adversary doesn’t see or doesn’t take maximum advantage of. Offense is strategic but defense is mostly spontaneous. A defensive move can throw off the moves you need to make for your offensive strategy. That’s why, in the middle of the game, the board almost never looks like you or your adversary hoped. So, you have to be able to make new strategies as the game goes along.

I don’t think the board looks as the racists had hoped when they began this strategy of “refinement.” Why not? Making black people feel like racism is not as bad as it used to be so that it can be practiced without costly violence comes at a risk: They have to let black people do things that allow more of us to learn constructive information. And, they have to project images that promote the idea that we can learn and do anything they can learn and do.

So, I agree with many race-prisoners that Mr. Obama is being used successfully to amp up anti-black sentiment and to provide cover for racist policies. However, white folks’ offense has slackened their defense a notch. For instance, there will be more black people expecting courteous and affectionate relations with their opposite gender partner. There will be more black people who aspire to be in charge of there own affairs and will be angrier when they find out that the system of white domination (racism) still prevents that. There will even be more black people who keep their limbs and kidneys or do not die because of care they receive through Obamacare.

I’m just saying, don’t refuse to take advantage of every opportunity to advance on the opponent on the grounds that each opportunity is a trap. The opportunity could just be something unintentionally created by our opponent’s offense. Strap up, yes. And, move forward, too. That Trojan horse has some wood that can be broken up for arrows, fortresses, and ships.

About our defense:
white folks are sighing about or trumpeting that 70% of voters who identified themselves as “Latino” voted for President Obama. So expect an acceleration by white folks of the re-classification of “Latinos” as white. Be careful about whom you regard as a fellow confused race-prisoner and whom you regard as a racist.

An Official Withdrawal From The Battle For Black Manhood

An excerpt from the blog, forharriet.com:

On D.L. Hughley and Others: My Official Withdrawal From The Battle For Black Manhood
Friday, November 2, 2012

“I did not see Hughley, Harvey or any of the other men who use their huge platforms to tell us how awful we are, comment on the recent viral videos of Black women being assaulted. With few exceptions, men abided a code of silence when video of rapper Lil Reese viciously beating a young became the talk of the internet. They didn’t question why violence against “angry, unladylike” Black women like Shi’Dea Lane in Cleveland is deemed entertainment. And when I attempted to begin a conversation about why men would stand by and watch these woman be attacked, some men I knew opted to confront me about my unfair portrait of black men as abuse apologists. These experiences are disheartening but telling. Even when it is about Black women, it’s about Black men. While we fight for their humanity, they fight for our silence.

… For the moment, I’m out. Black men will have to fight for themselves. This is my official withdrawal from the Battle for Black Manhood.”

As my similar position has been stated on this blog in the piece, Part 5: Just Desserts for Black Males, I wish to associate myself with those remarks. I do hope that black males, collectively, give me a reason to be “in” again.

Bait, Ratchet, or a Black Female Begging to be Affirmed as a Female?

This pic shows up twice on the first page of google search results for “ratchet female.” Virtually all the pics of people in the reults are of black females.

Future Ratchet ? ?

A ratchet is commonly what one means when referring to socket wrenches that are thrown back carelessly into a mechanic’s tool box by his greasy, dirty hands. In mechanical terms, a ratchet is a female part that is used to fix the male connector of something.

The tough, loud, lewd, often obese, less than human, and MUCH less than ladylike black female is called a ratchet. That is the overwhelming representation of black females in film, television, music videos, internet hype videos, and, thus, the general regard of everyone. So, “ratchet” is really a term that can be applied to any black female—A female who is just marginally one. So that a black male in drag is thought to be an adequate representation of us. Since we are basically just men in drag, when we get unruly and combative, there is no reason not to punch us as if we were men in drag.

In the last post on this blog, I referenced an explanation given to me by a black male cyber-friend, S-Dot, about the black female high school student who screamed in her black male classmate’s face asking him to hit her. S-Dot said that the girl saying that she was going to get someone to f@#K the boy up was an indication that she was acting as bait to get some other boy hurt when this other boy came to her defense. That may very well be the case. However, her out-of-control behavior may be just as likely or more likely to be that explained in a response to S-Dot’s interpretation.. What LBM said goes to the very core of what matters here:

I think I understand what S-Dot said. Here’s another take on Black female “baiting.” Oftentimes it’s not bait for an altercation but ‘bait” for verification/validation – verification of what she hopes is a fact that yes, she may be “reprimanded” , but she will ultimately be treated as gently/femininely as possible. The problem here is that the mental illness of black females is simply not acknowledged. There have been studies on prisoners kept in solitary confinement revealing that many of them “bait” prison guards just to have “interaction.” Are they asking to be stun-gunned, bitten by dogs, beaten by 6-7 officers or shot? Of course they ‘re not. They simply need human – even if it is inhumane – contact. The same way so many Black females keep begging for some sort of affirmation from Black males. It is sick. They “bait” wanting attention, wanting confirmation that they are indeed “female” and thus will not be knocked out. The young lady in the Cleveland case said “I can’t believe he hit me like that”. Even in a possibly drunken stupor she thought he would see her as the female she wanted to believe she was.

I’m really not understanding why some Black males refuse to recognize mental illness in Black females. I don’t understand why some Black males feel that mental illness in Black females should be met with violence- while at the same time EXPECTING Black females to understand what the white man’s racism has done to him. This is the wall I’m “baiting” for some Black males on this blog to penetrate for me. I know Black males who haven’t worked in 2-3 years who are depressed as hell but they live with women whom they EXPECT to understand and stand by. I know black males who are ex-cons and perpetually underemployed and ornery yet live with women they know are being abused on their job but EXPECT them to come home and “take their position.” ?? I also know Black males who KNOW ” a bitch is crazy” yet still pursues her and EXPECTS her not to be crazy with him and accepts whatever support she offers – and yet feels justified in knocking her out when she gets “out of line.” We have some serious craziness going on in our “communities” and much of it centers around our mistreatment of Black female. We can continue to have a lot of movement around combating white domination – but we will continue to have very little FORWARD movement if we don’t attend to this internal problem that frankly has been a dis-ease since we were forced on those ships, if not well before, as evidenced by the fact that we’re even in this mess.

What can you do if you are a black male to help affirm the femininity of black females? I’ll tell you the kinds of things that worked for me. Let black females see you doing the following:

+ Give your seat up to a black female if she is standing; especially if she is pregnant or elderly
+ Stop to offer to help push a black female’s car that has stalled in the middle of the road
+ Offer to escort black females from class at night when you know there is string of unsolved rapes and/or murders in the area
+ Offer to help carry heavy packages for a black female
+ Greatly limit profane language around black females—even if you hear black females being profane
+ Encourage your daughters and nieces to wear skirts and dresses and tell them how pretty they look when they do
+ Walk your daughter into school until she is out of middle school—even if you walk behind her to give her social space
+ Learn how to repair a few things like closet doors, door locks, or table legs and offer your skills free of charge at least three times a year to a black female
+ Compliment a black female who is not light-skinned on her complexion if it is blemish-free and glowing.

Don’t expect black females to immediately trust you when you display these gentlemanly behaviors. It will help if you do your very best to separate these behaviors from those designed to get you sexual intercourse in a direct and quick way. Give it some time to catch on and sink in. No pun intended, sincerely. Perhaps that pun will help you remember the selflessness that goes with the manly behavior that will help regenerate the working relationship that black males and black females will need to triumph over Racist Man, Racist Woman, and Racist Child.
