Black Athletes Used As Controlled Opposition In A System Of Racism

Black American celebrity activism has travelled a long way in American history. It has a long and profound tradition in the chronicles of American politics. From Bill Russell and other black members of the Boston Celtics boycotting a game in 1961 because they weren’t served in a restaurant to Colin Kaepernick taking a knee, black artists, musicians, actors, and athletes have been at the forefront of protesting against the inhumane discrimination and racist treatment meted out to black people in America. We have seen countless occasions of black athletes who used their sporting excellence in the field to challenge and question the established racist norms of U.S. society.

When black artists and athletes boycott a game in protest of racism, it seems laudable, on the surface, and in fact, attracts emotional sympathy from different interest groups that look to share in their view. However, what many don’t know is that political classes (the two different groups with different ideologies but with one common goal—dominion), the Democrats and the Republicans at loggerheads with each other have wickedly but cleverly designed a new way of scoring social, political and economic points against one another, and their fancy ball is none other than the big bad black man in sports—Black athletes! It is one of the faces of controlled opposition brought to you in part by a system devoid of (real) justice; a system of racism/white supremacy.

The NBA has been positioned to serve as controlled opposition serving the interest of the Democrats and their liberal agenda against the Republicans. On the other hand, the NFL is used by the Republicans to drive home their conservative views against liberals. The Democrats (or the “Left Wing”) utilized the NBA faction of pro sports as the social justice warrior who wags their finger at overt racists. This is the reality—a battle by two sides of the same coin—the victim is the black athlete who is tossed between either side with no genuine love for him as a human being.

Understandably, people want to see and hear more athletes and celebrities speaking out about social issues that are at the core of America’s unity and survival as one nation. But in reality, while some black athletes do open their mouths to speak; no one really cares, and they cannot actually sway the public, legislative and administrative landscape for serious efficient change. So it’s futile to expect much from them. At the end of the day, “the white man” still writes their checks after all.

In short, we’re tired of hearing black athletes or celebrities talking pro-black. You read that correctly. Their pro-black talks doesn’t matter anymore because, when it comes to discussing social issues, the suspected white supremacists at the top don’t take their opinions seriously. That is why Laura Ingraham from FOX News could confidently tell Lebron James to “shut up and dribble,” and later on down the line, boldly tell all that cares to listen that Drew Brees was entitled to his opinion on social issues. While Laura Igraham is one person with an opinion, you’d be a fool to think that she was the only one who shared her sentiment. Unfortunately, there are many more Laura Ingrahams out there. So much for the post-racial BS, they want you to believe.

The truth is, the likes of Lebron James will eventually just shut up and dribble because they cannot afford to be too pro-black due to the implications. In most cases that black athletes did, they ended up recanting and apologizing for their statements later. Again, “the white man” cuts the checks. Such is the harsh reality we all must admit.

Therefore, any pro-black advocacy, statement, or rhetoric should only proceed from black people who are unapologetically pro black and properly insulated from backlash while not giving a damn about the possible consequences. We’re talking about black people who would never be pressured by their paymasters or powerful forces in high places to retract their statements. In this regard, the enduring words of Colin Kaepernick continue to reverberate with unbridled audacity: “Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.”

What Is The Dunning-Kruger Effect And Why Do People Who Believe In A Post-Racial Society Have It

The Dunning-Kruger Effect is a study conducted by social psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger in 1999 to help understand the reasons why people overestimate their importance. For example, when someone genuinely believes that they possess the expertise to speak authoritatively on a topic that they know very little to nothing about, you know they are suffering from the Dunning-Kruger Effect. It means the inclination of unknowledgeable and unskilled people to overestimate their importance.

People who believe that we are now living in a post-racial society are mostly suffering from the Dunning-Kruger Effect because outside of failing to understand the dynamics behind the covert racism that is plaguing America today and the dangers of it, their naivete’ and blissful ignorance makes them overestimate the idea of a post-racial society. Every day, police are called to respond and harass black individuals that were engaging in everyday activities such as napping on a couch (while black), playing golf (while black), shopping at Walmart (while black), sitting in Starbucks (while black), sampling a real estate property (while black), gardening (while black), etc. The reason why these black people got the police called upon them by the closet racists of the world is simply because they were black. This is obviously racism, but our post-racial believers still think there is not much discrimination because they either believe themselves to be color-blind or they simply overestimate their ability to interpret social issues that border on race. If the racism isn’t overt, then they believe it’s not something serious enough to address. With that, you know they’re exhibiting the Dunning-Kruger Effect, much like Donald Trump who arrogantly parades himself as an expert in everything, whereas, he’s not.

Unfortunately, this reality reigns supreme for the political class. Think about it: if a politician is given a choice to respond to mounting pressure coming from an oppressed, poor and less privileged citizens, and from a corporate and wealthy interest that holds many aces, why would the politician respond to the oppressed?

Here is the catch: people from marginalized and minority social groups are very much less likely to receive help, as West and Eaton put it. They are usually kept at a distance and have their accomplishments and skills rated less positively compared to their non-marginalized counterparts.

Naturally, politicians are not “good people” based on their conduct as against the wishes of the people they’re supposed to serve. That is not to say that all politicians are bad, but on average, politicians aren’t good and that explains why you hear so many people saying they will never vote again—a common stance among millions of Americans who get fed up with the two-party system. Of course, you can’t blame people for losing interest in leadership. Show us one competent and honest politician today—one capable of identifying the appropriate policy objectives and achieving them, irrespective of race or political ideology, at a minimum social cost. From Democrats to Republicans, modern American society at large is blessed with two-face, shameless, lying, racist, power-drunk, and senselessly insensitive politicians whose hands are hardly free from dirt. It is a game usually decided, run, and administered by two things: RACE and CLASS—a playing field where the poor and socially marginalized have no equal footing but used as something to be trampled on.

So, when poor people hope and pray that these same politicians would do good for them, it is nothing but insanity. The poor have nothing to leverage with, and those who believe otherwise are living in a Dunning-Kruger reality of life. Revolution is the only true power available to poor people. Hoping and praying is spiritual at best and lacks solutions for tangible results at worst. It is not a political strategy. Believing in one of the false narratives from one side or the other isn’t a strategy either but self-delusion.

Numbers are the only thing that matters to American politicians when it comes to the oppressed. Oppressed people only become relevant when it’s election time. Once that time goes away, it’s back to the business of suppressing the poor and dehumanizing black people. Think about who has invested so much in this deceptive game of thinking they care. A game designed to split up power, escalate the huge gap in wealth and resources to make sure they are concentrated in the hands of one race— a race with white supremacists’, 1% elite groups and their beneficiaries at large. Wealth is the value of all marketable assets such as real estates, bonds, stocks, etc., minus all debts. We know who controls the wealth of this nation. And with such overwhelming control comes power because, wealth begets power—social, economic, and political power. Black people along with other minorities are the ones that are seriously disadvantaged and sometimes overtly but mostly covertly hampered from getting access to the above-mentioned triumvirate of economic and political power, resources and social relevance. But since they want to make you feel we are living in a post-racial society, they offer black people tokenism, the act of hiring someone from a minority group just to prevent or deflect criticism and give a false appearance/notion that people are being regarded and treated equally. Whereas, tokenism, alongside symbolism (another form of false narrative) and incremental change, are the worst form of illusion. Yes, they are carefully designed to keep you on a perpetual pendulum of false hope; to prevent you from decoding the race game being played on you.

In a social, economic, and political system enveloped in endemic white supremacy, justice can only be a fleeting illusion to minority people. As long as non-white people are involved, justice only exists in the figment of black people’s imagination.

A system of white supremacy is the direct opposite of a system of justice.

What happened to Breonna Taylor (who was shot dead while sleeping peacefully in her home) and many other black people murdered by crazy and racially motivated police officers in times past and present, isn’t something that happened by chance. We can speculate that they were most likely racially motivated—incidents. If Ms. Taylor were white, the police officers who burst into her home unannounced wouldn’t have fired randomly and directly at her. But since she was black, it’s perfect timing to eliminate yet another black person.

We live in a reality where law enforcement agents can happily waste 20 bullets on an unarmed black youth running from the cops while another set of law enforcement agents can be overwhelmingly patient and tolerant of white criminals. How can we forget that law enforcement bought a burger for Dylann Roof, another white criminal who murdered nine black people in a church. That’s just one in many incidents that tell you the system is racially rigged, and in it lays no justice for black people.  

Each time such incidents happen, society reels through the outrage and emotional outburst via the media, and at best, the white murderers get a light sentence, and at worst, they get acquitted completely, leaving the wounded black family to wallow in their painful loss.

To minimize the effect, the suspected white supremacists get a black person who is a puppet within the diabolic system to “break the news.” White supremacy has never run short of house negroes willing to do their biddings. There is always a black bootlick or good pet negro in their back pocket reserved for such a purpose. There were always coons who sabotaged black progress, and there will always be coons and good pet negroes committed to furthering the white supremacists’ agenda of complete dominion.

As for black people in general, there is no justice. There are no tangibles; neither will there be anything substantive for black people in a system of white supremacy, ruled by white supremacists, and for the white race. All that black people get is endless tears, feigned emotional solidarity, symbolic gestures and social media hashtags. Such is black people’s curse in a society divided across racial lines.

Whenever an incident occurs, the white supremacists’ deploy religion and morality as reasonable excuses why black people should resort to kind gestures in the face of evil. Black people are always told to forgive, turn the other cheek and take the moral high ground. And unfortunately, many black people are stuck with this “forgive and forget” morality BS. While there is nothing wrong with forgiving, the fact is, there is a limit to everything. Even the Bible frowns at being overly simple. What too many people fail to understand is that too much of turning the other cheek emboldens evil-doers to perpetuate more evil. We have to strive and fight for “fairness” in a system built on inequality. If God is overly merciful, he wouldn’t be talking about punishment for the wicked. We’re told to bring a knife to a gunfight by the ones who manufacture and own the guns and won’t second guess using them. Everyone has a right to defend their lives, especially in a society that doesn’t play by the rules.

The only place a fair fight exists is in boxing and UFC. In the real world, there are no fair ones. What we have are cowards and lunatics. If Trayvon Martin and Ahmaud Arbery were armed with a gun, maybe they’d still be alive to tell their side of the story. Yes, the 25-year old Arbery was murdered by a Brunswick white dad and son for jogging across their lawn—an incident that happened on February 23, 2020. But it was only on May 7, 2020—three months later—that the police deemed it fit to arrest the murderers, and that was because people protested after a video of the incident was released on social media. What does that tell you? It means the police don’t care so long as the murdered victim is a black person. If that isn’t racism and unfair treatment at play, we wonder what is.

The same goes for Trayvon Martin, another young black man who on his way home from the store was stalked and murdered by George Zimmerman, whose only excuse was that he suspected the 17-year old innocent boy of looking ‘dangerous’ and ‘criminal.’

In both cases, the police and prosecutors were unwilling to bring the culprits to justice because the murderers are under their respective states “Stand Your Ground laws,” which they said gives right to a private citizen to use excessive force and defend themselves if they fear for their life. Is somebody listening? Aren’t these the same excuses given by white police murderers who killed black people at will? If a white civilian can murder a black man on the grounds of suspicion which grossly violates the fundamental and constitutional law of “innocent until proven guilty” by a court of competent jurisdiction, why shouldn’t a black man be ready to protect himself and cut down any racist who confronts him with deadly intent on the same grounds that he fears for his life. Think about it.

Those who believe this “isn’t about race, but it’s about class” nonsense, can stop at any time. If it’s “not about race” then how come the Opioid crisis (a problem that affects mostly poor white people) is described as a “public health issue,” but the Crack epidemic (a predicament of mostly poor black people) was termed a “War On Drugs”? The same “War On Drugs” that was and is still being used to lock black people up. Rehabilitation never comes first when the matter involves black people; prison is the answer while rehabilitation is for white people.

If you cannot understand the mindset at play here, it means you’re naïve to the post-racial society fallacy they want you to digest. Face it:  there is no post-racial society but a Divided States of America. The earlier we realize this, the better.

Is There A Way To Shut Off America And Turn It Back On Sometime During 2021?

The continuous talks and jibes about Trump being a racist is a tiring topic to hear. It’s even more annoying and disgusting seeing black people discussing Trump’s racism. Since the birth of this nation, have black people ever felt safe and secured from racism/white supremacy? So what was new about Donald Trump??

Every President this country ever had was racist. Some owned slaves and we know this already. Mention one President who did something peculiar to seriously help black people in a transformative way. If you can, we’ll give you a prize.

Some of you reading this are completely immersed in the Democratic Party like your life depends on it. Some of you reside in cities ruled by Democratic leadership and have friends and loved ones who, among other things, have suffered under the MASS INCARCERATION program initiated by the Democrats. Yes, the Crime Bill flourished during the Bill Clinton era, and he seems to have regret it but, he and Joe Biden—the architect of the ‘94 Crime Bill—escalated it into what it is now. Today, what do we have—more black people incarcerated more than ever. Ironically, Joe Biden is the same man many black people voted for to become the current president.

Whoever is reading this and feeling some kind of way, unfortunately these are just the facts; no hard feelings. The evidence is out there, you can look it up for yourself.

Back to Trump. Now that the other camp has succeeded in getting him out of office as they urged people to do, pointing out his racism like they are saints; what lays ahead for black people? What are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris guaranteeing to ensure that black people would not be slaughtered by racist cops and white supremacists? Black people need tangibles. Not just simply booting a President from office.

It has dawned on us over the years that most politicians are in fact, racist. The evidence is the unwillingness to do anything of substance for black people. It’s a reality we’ve accepted and we move accordingly.

Simply replacing a loud white supremacist with a more mild-mannered but equally deadly white supremacist is meaningless. A leopard is a leopard, whether in the African forest or the Indian jungle.

At some point, the people who engage in fear-mongering will need to cut the crap.

One of our theories about Donald Trump is that he did not lose the election due to his racism. Aside from the logistics behind the scenes, he lost because of his other personality traits.

A lot of people agreed that he is a racist, but he is also a pompous, arrogant, obnoxious, immature, and avarice-laden person. Trump was one of the most hated leaders in the free world. The country couldn’t tolerate him for another four years. The reality is that racism is a culture heavily embedded in the fabric of American life as well as all over the globe. Tell us; when was America NOT racist??? Don’t worry, we’ll wait…

The only argument anyone can plausibly make that will make sense in respect of Trump is that maybe his kind of racism/white supremacy model was too in-your-face. But like every other President, Joe Biden will also bring his brand of racism/white supremacy.

And if anyone thinks that the monster we call a “Trump supporter” will just evaporate next year, they’re being silly. Trump supporters were around even before Trump got into office. They were just emboldened by his rhetoric. They were sleeper cells that were activated. That’s it. So if you think the America that you use to know under Trump is over, you will have to rethink otherwise and be ready for a rude awakening.

In A System Of White Supremacy, Black People Do Not Have The Privilege To “Protest” The Way White People Can

It is not surprising to hear common people AND the mainstream media covens screaming in the wake of the Capitol riot that if it were black people who stormed the Capitol, the government response would’ve been much different to the white people who stormed the Capitol.

The media and these people are just reinforcing the idea that black people are inferior to white people. What they are literarily saying is that, if this was a black protest, the response would have been swift and decisive and many would have turned up dead. But, since it’s a white protest, white people “protesting” have the exclusive rights to protest against the government, and nothing would happen.

“Right-wing” media will softball what happened while “Left-wing” media will discuss it and hold “Trump supporters” accountable, but not white people.

Why is this important?

Trump supporters are seen as an outlier of white society, so when they act up, the media will not explicitly say white people or point fingers at white people as a whole. However, when black people protest, they’re automatically tied to Black Lives Matter and black people are mentioned and blamed for whatever negativity that occurs.

That is why we hear the media calling the Capitol rioters “protesters,” but when black people protest, they are called “thugs.” It wouldn’t take a genius to see who the privileged and the less privileged are.

Come to think of it: all black people who protest(ed) are not even a part of the Black Lives Matter ORGANIZATION, but somewhere down the line, BLM became a euphemism for black people.

This is how forked tongue the mainstream media is. They engage in doublespeak—burying the truth behind a wall of ambiguous, euphemistic, and distorted words–and promote doublethink—forcing on people the ability to agree with two conflicting opinions, beliefs, and facts. That’s food for thought.

The Fallacy Of Interracial Dating/Marriage Pushing Racism Out Of Existence

There is a new trend in town and it is all about pictures of Proud Boy members with black wives popping up lately on social media. The Proud Boys is an all-male, far-right hate group.

Speaking of far-right, a Trump supporter recorded a video to explain to whomever cares to listen to an explanation of how Trump supporters are “not racist” and he had his “black son” with him in the video to prove it. A real lame attempt to show how “not racist” Trump supporters are.

In short, this whole “he/she can’t be racist because they have a black partner” BS going around is goofy.

NEWS FLASH: racists/white supremacists throughout history have had sex with black people, forced and/or unforced. Slave masters had biracial children. It doesn’t change the fact that they are racist. What about the Proud Boys leader who was arrested (but later released) for burning a BLM flag he took from a mostly black people’s church? What does him having a black girlfriend/wife or child have to do with anything?

Thomas Jefferson had children with one of his slaves (Sally Hemmings), a black woman he raped for many years. But, despite having six children from her, he still went on to being a slave owner. A racist is always a racist, no matter who they choose to engage with sexually.     

Let’s be clear, we mean no disrespect to our friends and family who have a partner from another race. We don’t mean to ridicule interracial dating or marriage. Whoever you choose to be with is your business. However, like everything else, interracial dating/marriage is a two-sided coin. We can’t acknowledge the bright side of it and not acknowledge the ugly side of it. We have to be real about some of the sick shit that goes on with INTERRACIALISM.

The “I can’t be racist! I have a black friend” excuse is nonsense and should have an expiration date, if it didn’t have one already.

That excuse has long expired. It’s time to face reality, and the reality is that racists actually do have black friends or black people that they fetishize or both. Take it or leave it, but reality doesn’t lie.

Using black friends or black “lovers” as a prop to portray someone as “not being racist,” is one of the oldest tricks in the book of racism. The system of white supremacy has mastered the art of DEFLECTION and DECEPTION.

Social Media Platforms Are Still Playing Thought Police

There are 2.6 billion people on Facebook, 1 billion people on Instagram, and 340 million people on Twitter.

The world population is roughly 7.7 billion. These are the numbers as of now. Do the math and tell us what you understand about the immense power of big tech and their almost infinite ability to influence perception and decide a narrative.

The fact that social media companies have continent numbers makes them even more of a threat to your freedom of speech.

Banning Trump from social media isn’t something to celebrate. Of course, social media platforms can ban whoever they want; it’s their platform after all. However, outside of television (tell-lies-to-your-vision) PROGRAMMING, social media companies have a monopoly on public opinion and how it is disseminated. Tech companies like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have thought police policing thoughts before or when they become words. It’s a real Orwellian state at work.

Basically, if they decide that something is “hate speech” or “false information,” they can shut you down, and there is nothing you can do about it.

Social media is free and happily monopolistic because major businesses are in bed with them. They don’t need our money. They get it from big corporations. Big business (along with social media) in the business of trying to dictate to people what to buy and what to think and what to think about.

“Silencing” Trump was symbolic at best. It might be somewhat of a relief, but it makes no real difference. His cult followers don’t need his social media presence to be active. Herd mentality is herd mentality, regardless of if there is a “leader” present. The fact that Trump got more votes than when he first vied for the presidency just goes to show how cultish his fanbase is. It’s a culture that a mere social media ban cannot stop.

Social media banning extends to social media users who are black. Intelligent black people who don’t shut off their critical thinking skills to simply parrot racist ideology via white intelligentsia will be targeted. Actually they have already been targeted. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is one major example of this. Pro black content creators, especially the ones accused of being “Black Identity Extremists,” will be the ones who are targeted and banned.

You don’t solve problems by silencing so-called dissenting opinions. The same people who encourage freedom of EXPRESSION are the same people trying to regulate others’ freedom of SPEECH. How ironic this can be.

The show isn’t over yet. With the Dems back in power, expect the unthinkable. Already, the House of Congress is teaching us how to pray and round up prayers in a new way by concluding; “Amen and a-woman,” because the word “Amen” is masculine, so says our great Democrats. As such, “a-woman” should be included even though Amen has nothing to do with sex, but a Latin word that means, “So shall it be.” Well, that is just a tip of what is bound to come upfront.

2021 promises a truckload of surprises for many people. We’ll see as they unfold. If Trump was crazy to you, be ready to see a different version of white supremacy in the name of democratic politics. As much as politics is a concern, America as we know it is drastically changing. Having the foresight to see what’s to come, along with being proactive and investing in ourselves and our future will be our best way of dealing with what’s to come.
