The love of Hell...
Peace,
My intent today was to write a blog on the science of relationships between Man & Woman (Knowledge & Wisdom) and build about issues that we could use to better conditions in the Black family. However, a funny thing happened on the way to the parliment....
I started thinking about the hate crime incident this week in West Virginia & the Jena 6 (they seem unrelated however they couldn't be more connected) & came to this conclusion:
Black Folks Love Hell.
I know that's a pretty strong comment there, b.u.t. follow me; By loving hell, we also love to pounce on the hell that has been created & create more hell in the name of trying to get it "right", while not loving right enough to raise hell when things are wrong...
When the covers came off of the Vick debacle, we debated for days the impact of his lack of kindness to animals, his representation of young black men, the dysfunctional nature of 'Ghetto' culture, etc.. Nevermind that this was an isolated incident involving the gold medalist of the SNP; this was painted as a pivotal point in the sociology of Black men. Due to the silent class war in our community, many black people roiled against the prevalence of 'Nigga Culture' that would cause Vick to do such a thing (Meanwhile, no one complains when the 2 million Indians (so-called Latinos) have cockfights like they're going out of style).
Fast Forward...
News of the W. Va. Hate crime comes out & you barely hear a peep from the "Good & Respectable" Black folks. The woman was raped repeatedly, forced to eat dog & rat feces as well as drink from a toilet, all the while being told that this was happening to her because she was a Nigger. Where is Al Sharpton? Jesse? John Mcwhorter? Cosby? Waldo?
We have the case of the Jena 6, which clearly indicates that racism & discrimination is alive & well in America & it gets less than 1/10th of the attention of Imus (Remember him?). Where's the uproar? The radio & television shows? The righteous indignation?
My point is that racism & white domination have become to prevalent & normal that we are now the gatekeepers of the gates of hell for our people. Don't confuse the class war with Martin Luther Kings' fight for moral uprightness; this is negroes fighting to show their sponsors that they're not afraid to crack the whip on the 'bad' niggas when needed. When it comes to the current climate in the society, everything's tilting slightly to the right & it's going to spell hell for poor black folks without community love. Don't allow the talk about personal responsibility to obscure the reality of structural racism & discrimination in America.
