Let's begin with your feeling some measure of offence and/or outrage at the title of the article referenced by me in this OP.
The truth(s) Brother Harriot documents are not lies, built upon virulent deceitfulness and vague promises to and about all white people as is the reality of every POC in Amerika who manages to survive the death throes of a white racist ideology, white supremacist creed born in a less observed period/era of the existence of this country. Some people live the 'American dream'. No doubt, yet they have ALWAYS been a very minuscule portion of the whole. Their influence on our lives and personal destinies though is complete, regardless of skin color and disproportionate to their number.
The truth(s) of this 'democratic' society are at times most unpalatable and the racial hate designed for complete white race steerage of human destiny on this planet has shown itself totally incapable as the steward of earth resources and complete humanity, in Amerika particularly. Such as has always been, in Amerika when matters of race and worth are being hotly debated as now, as always. The real promises the Amerikan dream given but always meant falsely to POC, AA generally.
The promises of equality and justice being meted out non-arbitrarily in our so-called democracy always total a lie for POC, AA predominantly. And don't get me as anti-american. Nothing about this article is wrong. Neither its title or content. Your reference to BLM is wrong and/or bigoted in the inference of purpose and membership.
BLM tries to bring attention to murders/executions of unarmed AA men, women and CHILDREN and POC in general. Let's be clear on one of your justifications for your taking offence at a very precise and true nature of the title of Mr. Harriot's treatise on majority white race cowardice in wanting to end racial preference. That cowardice comes in the form of white apathy, not fear of the mob, intended or not, in wanting true all-inclusive democratic rule. President Obama notwithstanding. He now feels he arrived too early. I disagree, his beautiful family has caused a white backlash that is truly enlightening in its revelation of the swampy, smelly underbelly of racist white Amerika.
AA statements on white power abuse of minorities are being proven correct more and more every day by the new-age Nazis in power in Amerika now. With many sad examples being a more and more everyday occurrence. All executed and murdered human beings by authorities of 'the state', whether locally or nationally, are for the most part being so executed while unarmed and innocent of being any threat except the colour of one's skin. Jim Crow NEVER DIED. That old codger is what 150 years or so old?
As far as your inference to AA trump suppoters, they are nothing mor than prime examples of intra-war differences of opinion and dominance that has been a curse of human beings of the intra-race bigotry and cultural prejudices that has led to slaughter and misery in every intra-race war since our inception on this planet. It's true. Whether they having been tribal or they now being the threat of nuclear extinction wars. Poison fouling, irreparably in a lot of cases, this planet Earth, right? Experts? FUBAR? And since our inception as life on this planet that poisoning has been sped up in the last 2-300 years by predatory and greed driven capitalism. Profit driven, blind to pain and misery, total lack of concern for environmental quality of life for us inhabiants #wethepeople. This truth is inescapable. Intra-race bigotry wars, you allusions are correct.
Article title maybe should have been, 'a great majority of white people afraid of losing their racially granted privilege and entitlement in ameriKKKa are cowards'? Nah, too long. And to be clear on your right to call AA people disgusted with white mob mentality, a mob! While continuing a mob mentality themselves against AA with apathy and unconcern. Like being in the 'old south' and driving by a bunch of rotting "strange fruit' with a laugh, grim determination or not a single thought at all, right?
TO THE Hague with them all!!!. Nuremberg would make a statement. The member of the NPA aka GOP opened this can of putrid hate worms
As a way of background on my cred's in knowing of intra-race bigotry as shown by AA's choosing to be fooled by the racial superiority creed of some whites in this country and thusly ending up in trump's constituency base. I am the progeny of a German woman and an AA, stationed post-WW2, in Germany and have faced much racism and bigotry all my life. The bigotry was usually of the kind that was survivable. The racism kind, but by the grace of the gods and goddesses, they go I as a Trayvon Martin-Sandra Bland et al.
He(my father) being an officer in the occupation forces of the many countries who fought Hitler and his NAZISM. Including British, American and Russian armies and zones of total military occupation, ever heard of 'the Berlin Airlift'? Well, it's gone from that to now Putin, who seems to have been of an immense help to our current head of a political Party who is potus. Whose election is under investigation because of gross irregularities and rumours of outside help from that very same Russian.. as an aside of a general widespread observation acknowledged as true by millions.
White racism is self-defeating, not reactions to it. And you are right, mob rule/mentality is the problem, now.
