What of the claim that the Blacks are becoming racists? This is a favourite pastime of frustrated liberals who feel their trusteeship
ground being washed off from under their feet. These self-appointed trustees of Black
interests boast of years of experience in their fight for the “rights of the blacks”. They have been doing things for Blacks, on behalf of Blacks, and because of Blacks. When the Blacks
announce that the time has come for them to do things for themselves and all by themselves
all white liberals shout blue murder!
“Hey, you can’t do that. You’re being a racist. You’re falling into their trap.”
Apparently it’s alright with the liberals as long as you remain caught by their trap.
Those who know, define racism as discrimination by a group against another for the purposes of subjugation or maintaining subjugation. In other words one cannot be a racist unless he has
the power to subjugate. What Blacks are doing is merely to respond to a situation in which
they find themselves the objects of white racism. We are in the position in which we are because of our skin. We are collectively segregated against—what can be more logical than for us to respond as a group? When workers come together under the auspices of a trade union to strive for the betterment of their conditions, nobody expresses surprise in the
western world. It is the done thing. Nobody accuses them of separatist tendencies. Teachers
fight their battles, garbagemen do the same, nobody acts as a trustee for another. Somehow,
however, when blacks want to do their thing the liberal establishment seems to detect an anomaly. This is in fact a counter-anomaly. The anomaly was there in the first instance when the liberals were presumptuous enough to think that it behoved them to fight the battle for
the Blacks
