Black America is “Stuck,”
Alas ‘Trapped” in an Abusive Relationship with a Highly
Abusive Partner, Trump’s America . . . White America

 


"Black folk are the reason 'why' and 'how’  America
went from pre-13 colonies,  to an empire which
dominates the global landscape in great part - it
was based upon our 'free labor'."


Black America, generally speaking, loves a country, the United States of America, which does not love us. Doc Rivers, NBA head Coach, told the burning-bush truth last week when he said in light of yet another incident of police brutality, “It’s amazing why we keep loving this country, and this country does not love us back, it’s really so sad.” that thought summarizes White America’s twisted mentality, which rationalizes, minimizes, justifies and defends a white cop who attempted to execute Jacob Blake, yet another Black man. Rusten Shesky, a Kenosha policeman shot the father of 6, in the back . . . 7 times, at point-blank range, in front of 3 of his children. Now note, White folks, “Trump’s Troops’” are simultaneously rationalizing, minimizing, justifying, alas actually anointing him an Hero 17 year-old junior Nazi storm-trooper who gunned down two men in Kenosha who were protesting Blake’s assault.

Black Americans have demonstrated an obvious ‘love,” for a country, rather an global empire, which does not feel the same about us, Check this - Black folks built, with our blood, sweat and tears, with our forced labor, the agriculture base, the infrastructural foundation of America. Black folk are the reason “why” and “how’ America went from pre-13 colonies, to an empire which dominates the global landscape in great part - it was based upon our “free labor.”

Nevertheless the bloody convoluted and conflicted history, Black people love the United States of America, perhaps we recognize the high-highfalutin’, high-minded notions of freedom, liberty, equality and justice - are highly desirable elements of a civilized civilization and worth fighting for, especially considering our already notable contributions.

Black people love the United States of America, so much we’ve defended it on the battlefield on numerous occasions, all around the globe . . . killing other people of color in the name of WASP imperialism, like pawns . . . and still came back “home” to a “niggers” welcome. We traditionally were relegated to 3rd class, behind any and all the fresh off the boat Euro-Trash . . . ain’t that a bitch? Today White America operates and maintains ‘American Apartheid,’ i.e., the systematic racism which ensures White supremacy and societal domination - guarantees the monopoly White men have on attaining the skills, tools and networks required to live the “American Dream.”

This dysfunctional love/hate relationship . . . it’s deeper, far deeper and much, much more complicated than mere racial integration can fix or cure. White America has a history of unprovoked and unwarranted hostility, of meanness, cruelty and blind racial hatred leveled and reserved for Black people. I personally believe, from a cultural perspective, most White folks “struggle” with the unbelievable Utopian notion Black and Brown folks are human, as 100% human as White folks, and then, if they can stretch that far, then they struggle with the belief we’re civilized, capable of being civilized, taught to be comfortable in shoes . . . .

So then damn, understanding the contempt and malice held for Black folks, Black people must ask themselves "How do I feel about America, and how does America feel about me?" Are Black folks in love with a country which hates them?

Let’s be real: the vast-majority of Trump’s America, they don’t wish to have a racially diverse and inclusive country. They don’t want to live, work nor play around people of color . . . they prefer White Russians as global allies, before they do Black Americans as neighbors in a colorblind USA. Be those Black neighbors doctors, firemen, nurses, teachers, accountants, Marine veterans, valor-Victorian of their class or Eagle Scout . . . we’re all just “Niggers.’ Polls and surveys indicate a roughly a one-third of his base believes Blacks were better off being slaves, at the least they want a return to ‘seperate and inferior” everything type social caste system.

How?” “Why?”

I think the most apropos term is “blind hatred.”

Nobody can make White people like Black people. . . end of horror story.

You better recognize this inherent disdain and dislike held for Black folks, make sure you vote on November 3 . . . for it will be another day which will live-on in infamy!

Morality, decency, equality and mutual respect are individual traits and group/cultural characteristics which cannot be ordained, ordered, legislated or mandated - no law nor rule can ‘force’ white people to regard and define Blacks, Latinos and other Americans of color as “equals,” as human. Laws can compel White people to treat Blacks as 100% fellow human citizens, but it can’t make them like us, and obviously, obviously - obviously I say - they don’t like us.

So how do we address that cultural deficiency, considering Trump’s base, mainstream White America can’t fix what isn’t broken in their ‘small” mind’s. They don’t have a problem with good ol’ all-American racism and sexism.

Yes, in light of that reality, once again, Any thinking Black American must ask themselves "How do I feel about America, and how does America feel about me?" Are Black folks in love with a country which hates them? Understanding we know precisely and exactly how the vast majority of white folks feel - they don’t like us - we are regarded as Public enemy #1 thru 7, we are guilty until proven otherwise . . . in the court-of white public opinion of course, and, we are, of course incompetent and unqualified for any task until we prove otherwise to a white man . . .

Tell me I’m lying, tragically, sadly you now I’m not, it’s the goddamn horrific truth

This is the razor-edged question most Americans of color ponder on a somewhat regular basis, in these no-longer seriously considered to be “United” States of America. Unquestionably millions are forced to ask themselves this ”loaded” question everyday, Why? Because we don’t feel the “love” from white folks. The supposed human-hood we should share as American citizens and stake-holders is hard to find. We, as the descendants of those who played a key, central and significant role in constructing this nation don’t feel the empathy for the unwarranted 2nd/3rd class position we find ourselves in - being undeniably the “unwanted,” “unwelcome,” and “disliked” squatters/freeloaders, repeatedly “disrespected” and “dehumanized” in a nation, an decadent empire . . . we both have built and defended.

Instead we feel the scorn, the loathing animosity . . . we realize lynchings have merely given-way to routine police executions. White minority rule is the goal for the next foreseeable future, hell for eternity!

People of color, Americans of color “get it” - we are tolerated, not wanted nor welcomed.

We need to split, divorce, go our separate ways, I’ll take $1.5 million as my long overdue 40 acres n’ a mule and a one-way ticket to Costa Rica, because White America, like their boy Trump, isn't capable . . . nor dig this, ‘willing to change, to grow and mature to that form of humanity demanded to be a full grown-ass civilized adult.
