white Privilege
White privilege is every bit as alluring, addictive, and animating a drug for Crackers as crack cocaine is for the crackhead in the urban ghetto. white privilege allures many white people into thinking they are superior to non-white people for absolutely no other reason but for the color of their complexion. white privilege has many white people addicted to oppressive social-political-economic systems that are rigged in their favor, perks, and privileges for which non-white people must shed our blood. white privilege has many white people animated to the extent that their thinking is so distorted that they actually believe that having to compete against a non-white person on a level playing field is discriminatory towards them.
Former President Lyndon Buffoon Johnson once stated, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.” To illustrate this illuminating and irrefutable idea, amerikkka elected a brilliant, bold, honest, Black man in the person of Barack Obama, who served two terms as President. Regardless of what you feel about Obama's policies, he gave the nation healthcare, rescued it from the depths of its worst economic recession since the Great Depression, and had zero scandals during his presidency.
However, as a result of the great white backlash promoted by white privilege following the end of Obama's time in office, a dumb, dastardly, dishonest white man of ill repute convinced enough of the white citizenry of amerikkka that the lowest of them were better than the best of Black people. And president Pedophile Donald J. Trump has been picking their votes and pockets ever since.
As I stated earlier, white privilege is every bit as alluring, addictive, and animating a drug for Crackers as crack cocaine is for the crackhead in the urban ghetto.
In fact, white privilege is one hell of a drug for white people.
white people have been addicted to the drug of white privilege because it yields to them white power. And white power in the context of amerikkka has always been wielded to oppress and dehumanize Black people.
Kwame Ture was correct when he sagaciously suggested, "If a white man wants to lynch me, that's his problem. If he's got the power to lynch me, that's my problem. Racism is not a question of attitude; it's a question of power.” Ture audaciously argued that an individual's private racial hatred or bias is a personal moral failing ("his problem"). Still, it only becomes a lethal societal threat when that individual and their group hold the political, legal, and physical authority to enact that hatred ("my problem"). It must be clearly understood that what Kwame Ture stated created a paradigm shift that sought to change the focus of the thinking of the leadership of the Civil Rights Movement during the 1960's away from trying to transform individual racist mindsets or appealing to an oppressor's conscience, but emphasizing instead that true liberation requires building autonomous political and economic power. Ture used this analytical framework to explain why traditional integration and appeals for moral reform were insufficient to dismantle white supremacy, which is the brainchild of white privilege.
This is why we need Black Power to combat white power. When we exercise Black Power, Black people will control the social-cultural institutions in our community. When we exercise Black Power, Black People will control the economy in our community. When we exercise Black Power, Black People will control the politics and politicians in our community. When we exercise Black Power, Black People will organize and develop armed militias to defend our community. Black Brother and Black Sister, we need Black Power. As advocates of Black Power, the Revolutionary Intercommunal Black Panther Party maintains that Africans living in amerikkka cannot achieve liberation within the existing political and economic system. Therefore, we are working day and night to bring into existence revolutionary intercommunalism to rid society and the global community of capitalism, imperialism, racism, and sexism.
Intercommunalism is an ideology the Oakland chapter of the Black Panther Party adopted after it turned away from revolutionary nationalism in 1970. Intercommunalists believe that international corporations and technologically advanced imperialist states have reduced most nations down to a series of discrete communities. Dr. Huey P. Newton asserted the analytical assessment that “The ruling reactionary circle, through the consequence of being imperialists, transformed the world into what we call 'Reactionary Intercommunalism.' They laid siege upon all the communities of the world, dominating the institutions to such an extent that the people were not served by the institutions in their own land. The Black Panther Party would like to reverse that trend and lead the people of the world into the age of 'Revolutionary Intercommunalism.' This would be the time when the people seize the means of production and distribute the wealth and the technology in an egalitarian way to the many communities of the world.”
Marinate on That!
Ready For Revolution
All Power To The People!!!
