      Some years back, I made a post about a broadcast I listened to entitled “a discussion on the plight of Black Americans” between James Baldwin and a white guy named R.H. Darden. It’s from 1968.

      I made the post in order to show how much the minds of Black People are tampered with and how white racists skew our perspective of reality with their ownership of media by what they choose to show and what they choose to keep hidden.

      I pointed out that while our people think that this whole reverse racism argument by “angry white people” is new or recent, in fact they’ve been making that argument at least since jim crow. I pointed out that while many of us think that it’s only now that white people’s alleged, proclaimed patience is running out with Black Folk and our decrying racism, the fact of the matter is that whites have been playing this game about how “Black Folk are unfair or racist to whites” AT LEAST, again, SINCE THE TIMES OF JIM CROW APARTHEID! whites were mad from way back then and were saying that we were only lying about the conditions and making excuses and that Black People were the real racists. The exact same points that they try to make today are the same as those they were making back then as well.

      But they don’t reveal this history BECAUSE IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS FOR whites TO BE CHARGING THE VERY PEOPLE WHOM they ARE OPPRESSING UNDER JIM CROW APARTHEID WITH RACISM AGAINST whites!!!!

      They conquer a people and oppress them and try to TROLL(gaslight) them, mainly with the use of propaganda, into accepting the oppression since FORCE damages their image in the eyes of the world.

      You literally hear the white guy on the 1968 recording expressing the sentiment that Black People being angry about living under jim crow was unreasonable AND that Black People being angry about jim crow oppression WAS THE VERY REASON WHY whites wanted to exterminate them. Our unreasonable anger over our oppression PROVOKES white people into wanting to exterminate us. I’ve spoken about this aspect of their culture before with the story of Mary Turner, the pregnant Black Woman they lynched because she had the AUDACITY to actually VOICE her displeasure with white racists over their lynching of her husband. whites were/ are accustomed to committing atrocities against Black People and completely getting away with it without so much as a stern talking to.

      I also pointed out that these kinds of conversations occur because there’s still an expectation by white racists for us to behave the way they’ve historically prescribed in relationship to their socioeconomic position in relation to us.

      I pointed out that these kinds of conversations don’t go on between jews and nazis because the jews won, while in our case, the nazis won and their strategy is to try as hard as they possibly can to get Black People to willingly accept white cultural imperialism. To get Black People to not see oppression for what it actually is anymore. To get us to accept an alternate reality. That centrally involves getting Black People to see things the way white people generally see things and/ or the way white racists WANT Black People to see things.

      I stated then that the conversations they keep calling on us to have with them merely serve as distractions to keep us cooperative while they continue to grow in power.

      From my observations, white racists use integration not only as a justification for warehousing Black People into prisons, but overall the goal is justification for the racial segregation of the jim crow era and, more importantly and consequently, justification for the final solution to come. They’re still making those same old, jim crow era arguments about Black People, with heterosexual Black Men pretty much exclusively being depicted as the “real oppressors” of just about any demographic of people one can come up with. Now, however, there are a lot more Black People ALLIED with them in that argument.

      And it ain’t even that these Black People will finally see it when they’re in the concentration camps. They’ll be fully on board when that happens as well. They just won’t agree to getting tossed in there themselves with the ones they helped the white racists to put in there.
