The
best way to promote racism and oppression is to hire minorities to do the dirty
work. Bruce Lee would not allow whites
to make fun of his race on screen, so let’s assassinate him and have Jackie
Chan make hundreds of movies poking fun at and humiliating his own race of
people. Having white officers beating
down the black man for no reason just looks too obvious, so let’s hire a bunch
of black sell out officers to beat down on the black man for us.
Having
Dave Chappelle orchestrate an assassination of his own race through comedy
sketches is made much more possible than having a white comedian doing the
same. Having Barak Obama set up laws
that turn against minorities creates much less conflict than having George Bush
do the same.
Just
like Malcolm X used to say, there are the field Negros and then there are the
house Negros. The house Negros are the
ones that get to live in the mansion and eat good food as long as they keep the
field negro’s in order. 2pac, Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X where field Negros fighting towards equality. Sell out black folks that oppress their own
race of people are house Negros, you see them all over the Police
Departments.
No
Asian will ever play the dominant respected role in Hollywood, they will just
not allow it. Almost any minority will
have their price. Pay a minority enough
money and he will oppress his own race.
The
black and white struggle is too obvious, it is not so simple. There are whites that will fight for
minorities to receive respect and there are minorities that will turn on their
own race. John Lennon was a white man
who fought for equality and peace just as how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did,
but as you see, they both got assassinated.
Bruce
Lee fought hard to get equal treatment in Hollywood for the Chinese, but he
mysteriously dies. Jackie Chan allows
for his race to be poked fun at and suppressed and he lives on to enjoy his
money and fame.
Eminem
is a white man who understands the minority struggle and fights hard with the
blacks to rise above oppression. But how
many white men are willing to do this?
How many white men are willing to give up their mansions and high paying
jobs to live on the poor streets with the minorities? How many minorities are willing to turn
against their own race in order to fit in with the majority? How many minorities are willing to become
white washed and ashamed of their own race and culture?
The
struggle continues, which side are you on?
Are you the oppressor, the bully, or are you the one fighting against
oppression? It is not about your skin
color, it is about what is in your heart.
You can have a black man that hates blacks with as much passion as the most
hateful Nazi or you can have a white man that fights against racism against
minorities as hard as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Personally, I'm on the side of indigenization and diversification. I think the very idea of 'race' is such a modern problem, resulting from putting different people together from different places, and keeping them allied to their separateness. A common identity defined by place, and particularly watersheds (rather than something as abstract as nation), is what's needed. North America once had over 500 different languages and cultures, coexisting. The thought of colonization never even existed here, because it was commonly understood that knowledge and identity come from particular ecological, watershed-based places, and that those knowledges and ways of life would not be adaptable broadly. This worked for perhaps 60,000 years (though some would claim 12-15,000). In any case, what we're looking at today, in terms of the social problems around race, only arose in a matter of hundreds, rather than thousands of years. It's not our nature. But it is our nature, or so it seems, to try to define ourselves in opposition to others. So if our identity is no longer about place, and our indigenous link to place, then it becomes about something else. And here's where race comes in. It's a modern dilemma, and it's happening all over the place. In parts of South America, different shades of brown are distinguished as different races. In Africa, different shades of black. It's goofy.
