Cultural Pattern


First Nigger in the White House



Sarah Palin is "Fine as can be...", but that and being vapid are not good traits to honor at the national and the international level. But, we do, as a country, like to employ low standards to overcome high expectations specifically when it comes to race, and as a tactic against the usual high commitment Black Americans have always been committed to, and practiced, at major junctures of our roads!

Conservative, and liberal white Americans, consistent to the bone, are steeped in the racial politics of this country embraced by a history they wish no one would bring up anymore; yet the story comes up. It is too well known, and always expecting its return on the value of supremacy and its importance in this culture and white folk's place in history!

Donald Trump was boosted to leadership because he came from and represented the low end capacity to engage in truth with no moral compass to direct him to the sophisticated level of manhood a nation needs to be better. White America needs that. It supports the illusion that our contradictions, and our past can disappear if they say the words. Same holds true for morality. High moral standards and highly developed intellectually capacity, among white political elite and the rank and file, were despised in former President Obama by this class of people on both sides of the political persuasion. History supported their actions of sabotage that followed his election into the high office!

This is the pattern.

As a child, we had to recognize it, prepare for it, and be better than it! It is white Americans pretending their ideologies are void of what is odious to the rest of the thinking world! Alone this dichotomy will, and is undermining the country! This is the American way!

Sarah Palin brings to the fore a major contradiction in America's intellectual culture. There is an insistence on the reinstatement of mediocrity, and the disregard for profound historical introspection is fundamental to a large segment of American society. I like Sarah Palin. She is gorgeous and easy on the eyes but we cannot be swayed by beauty. We need to establish an intellectual, and spiritual stance indicative of a super power responsible for more than conquest.

13th Amendment, American Reality, and What's Wrong is. . .



“[I urge you to] think about the historical system of slavery and… the institution of the prison together. And specifically I want us to think about the extent to which the vast global apparatus of imprisonment, and particularly corporate involvement in the business of punishment, that these developments are related to what I would call the sedimented history of slavery we are living out today. In other words, slavery has not yet been completely abolished.” ~ Angela Davis, Sept 19, 2003
