“America’s first black president is seen as better placed than any other Western leader to deal directly with African rulers because he can approach them without risking accusations of neo-colonialism, condescension or racism.” -The Daily Telegraph

White Conservative: “It’s you liberals who’ve lifted them up, Howard”

White Liberal: “Paul, you conservatives make the mistake. You can’t afford to strangle hope out of people. Without hope, people become dangerous”

White Conservative: “No, Howard. You liberals have let them invade our society. You give them jobs – political jobs!”

White Liberal: “Paul, you miss the point. It’s only the smart ones we move up”

White Conservative: “Ha! That makes it even worse”

White Liberal: “We have to move them up. If we leave a smart one in the ghetto, he might develop into a leader against us. But if we raise him up into white society, we neutralize him. He feels compelled to try to act like us. He loses his identity and his racial anger – if he has any. He becomes alien to his brothers. They realize he sold them out and they grow to resent him. He becomes worthless to them and safe for us. In fact, in his love for the creature comforts – except for his color – he’s become one of us.”

“When a knock is heard at the door [a White woman] shudders with nameless horror. The black brute is lurking in the dark, a monstrous beast, crazed with lust. His ferocity is almost demoniacal. A mad bull or tiger could scarcely be more brutal. A whole community is frenzied with horror, with the blind and furious rage for vengeance”   - George T. Winston

“It’s people like you who keep racism alive”

If you’re one of the few black people who happen to operate on divine time as opposed to white time, there’s a good chance you’ve heard these words before.
For the past few weeks, I’ve found myself interested in uncovering the true meaning of that statement, but often had trouble getting past its sheer audacity. Luckily, I had the recent pleasure of watching a lecture from Dr. Joy DeGruy-Leary that gave me some insight.

During the lecture, DeGruy-Leary asks the audience to describe the impact that white [nationalism] has historically had on black people. The audience responds by noting, among other things, the presence of corruption within the justice system, housing market and employment market. Conversely, she asks the audience to list the ways in which black [nationalism] affects white people.

Suddenly, the room is confused and in virtual silence until DeGruy-Leary, herself, is forced to interject with the word “fear.”

She then goes on to explain how a white male once expressed, to her, his fear that he may essentially be forced to bear the consequences of truth someday; that he’ll ultimately be on the receiving end of retribution. An uncommon sentiment, to say the least, it has a tendency to manifest itself in America through an environment where those capable of inducing this fear are met with aggression. The desire to ease this fear, DeGruy-Leary explains, is so intense that its source needs to be “removed.”

As I connect her lecture to my concern with statements like “it’s people like you who keep racism alive”, I’m left to draw the conclusion that, in many white minds, destruction is a justifiable response to fear. In addition, I’m left with the implication that non-whites should be understanding of this dynamic and therefore look to protect their white counterparts from this fear (which, more than likely, involves the subjugation of oneself). By obliging, non-whites will seemingly be able to avoid the hand of destruction. By doing otherwise, however, they’re basically asking to be tormented – hence, “racism being kept alive.”

It’s unfortunate that DeGruy-Leary’s lecture took place in 2005, robbing the audience of an immediate connection, because this nonsense reeks of Barack Obama and the “post-racial” (read: bullshit) theology that he’s ushered in with his presidency. (more…)
