This claim, of course, is ridiculous. Adults know that, as Eleanor Roosevelt (who incidentally apparently carried a gun with her everywhere she went) said (approximately), “no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
You don’t claim your own power by forcing the world to bow at your feet. Not if you are psychologically healthy. You claim your power by charting your own path through it, one where you are not bowled over every time some little thing happens to you, or some little person says some little thing to you.
Even in the time of the actual KKK and actual lynchings, black people found ways to self respect. They found ways to honor one another, and to live with dignity and as a community.
Now that public racism has to be invented–because it no longer flourishes in the wild, and has to be grown, like hothouse plants, from the seeds of willful misrepresentation, the abuse of language, intentional misunderstanding, psychological projection and outright lies–the black psyche, seemingly, rather than becoming more resilient in the face of declining contempt, has become weaker, more needy, more helpless, and more depressed and angry. This obviously has been the intent of Democrats all along. They don’t want a black class that is predominantly middle class, and thriving without them. Where would they get their reliable votes?
Always question people who want to do for you things you can and should be doing for yourself. In this country, it is almost like the mass of urban blacks are 33 year old boy-men, or girl-women, who never left home. Their parents never encouraged independence, and on the contrary did their best to foster permanent dependence. They made the world seem scary (Republicans want to KILL you), and provided all sorts of excuses not to take command of their own lives. So the recipients of this “caring” and “generosity”–both figuratively and in many cases literally–spend their days watching TV and playing video games.
I am glad people like Candace Owens and, in another generation, Thomas Sowell, are out there. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Allen West in the news recently. Or David Clarke. I’m not much of a consumer of news, though. Contrary to the knee-jerk first reaction–usually but not always before being called a racist–of most Leftists to encountering me, I don’t watch Fox News at all. I cancelled my cable not long ago. I got it for the 2018 Winter Olympics, and found myself wasting far too much time watching things I had not planned to watch. I like Tucker Carlson, but have my doubts about many of the rest of them.
Be all that as it may, you don’t get ahead by waiting until the world becomes exactly the way you “need” it to be. The charge of racism, obviously, is a form of political assault, intended, through barrage tactics, to force all dissenters from the Left Wing Shock Troop Goose Stepping Mob Agenda to keep their heads down and their mouths shut. Fuck that.
If I might borrow from an old story Christians tell, if they ever start arresting people for believing in freedom, the perfectability of human kind through both individual and collective effort, and in common sense and common decency, I hope to have provided them a plethora of evidence of my guilt.
