(Part 2): "Is this Black enough for you?"
Has global racial supremacy been an unspoken force driving U.S foreign policy?
Part 1 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
In Part 1, we answered the question in the subtitle, “Yes.” We gave examples of the origin and development of the concept of race, which spawned racism and racial supremacy. Click the above “Part 1” link if you have not read it. I will now continue quoting from a book I wrote, thirty years ago, entitled, The Afrocentric Myth.
One more note before I get started with the topic. I’m a ‘60s person. I won’t change. In the ‘60s, many Americans began to feel the pain of others in this world, and a “counter-culture” movement rocked the country. There were no desktops, laptops, I-phones, or any other means of instant communication. Yet, we were well-informed.
We published underground magazines and newspapers. We held “all-night rap” sessions, in which we literally stayed up, all night, discussing sensitive topics which included, of course, topics about the plight of people, like Blacks in South Africa. We had coffee houses, all over the country, where we sat together and worked on issues.
Zionism was not hidden from us. We were not fooled by the “Chosen People of God” mythology and the tiring, excessivly used charge, by Zionists, that eebody and dey MAMMA, was “anti-Semitic.” As we fully undertood, Bullshit ain’t nothin’ but chewed-up grass. We saw Israel, the Ashkenazi, their government, for what they were: racists, supremacists, gangster usurpers of another people’s lands. We carried signs that read,
and in our underground magazines and newspapers, we wrote articles in support of the Palestinian people. Though we did not succeed, of course, in destroying Zionism and liberating the Palestinian people, we did succeed, by hard work, in helping to destroy South African apartheid. As I said in another Substack article,
“The anti-South African apartheid movement started in the year 1959 and lasted until, finally, apartheid ended on April 27th, 1994 when South Africans voted in their first democratic elections. So, it took 35 years of non-stop, dedicated struggle to finally end apartheid in South Africa.” Zionism must be destroyed. How long will it take?
I’ll now simply continue from where I left off in Part 1 of, “Is this Black enough for you?”
It is the English [surprised?]who have the dubious distinction as the founders of modern racism. Most of the scientific theories that support the concept of race were developed in England during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This intellectual justification was occurring at the same time as the colonial expansion of the English all over the world.
Colonialism led to empire and with empire came the establishment of English customs and institutions worldwide. By the end of the nineteenth century, the sun never set on English racism. When William Shakespeare wrote in the late sixteenth century about a black-skinned prince consumed by jealousy over his fair-skinned wife, no one raised an eyebrow. Three hundred years later, Rudyard Kipling would write about the need for the “white man” to rule the “inferior races.” Modern racism was essentially invented in England and spread by the British Empire.
In America, it was the English colonies where racism first became acceptable. In the early seventeenth century, the marriage of Captain John Smith and Pocahontas was opposed by the English authorities not because she was “red” and he was “white” but because she was a princess and it was feared that Smith might use the marriage to lay claim to Virginia. Two-hundred years later, only the most radical would claim that Indians were equal to “whites.” Americans followed the British lead in the development of racist thought.
However, Americans followed the British lead in the development of racist thought. However, Americans led the way in the social uses of racism with the establishment of a racially based slavery system in the southern United States. This was the first time physical appearance was used to determine who would be slave and who would be master. It was also the most brutal slavery system in history. The slavery system in the United States was supplied by the Dutch.
The Dutch were the premier slavers of the world. Hundreds of slave ships conducted an immensely profitable trade between West Africa and the Americas. The slavers were buoyed by the new scientific belief that separated white-skinned people from other groups and by the religious belief that hinted that the grace of God was evident in the prosperity of His Chosen and poverty was the natural condition of those not blessed by God.1
The slave trade was so inhumane that the Dutch, out of necessity of conscience, became dedicated racists. Most Dutch colonies in the New World were involved in the slave trade and some social remnants of this trade remain. It is interesting that the [former] Republic of South Africa…was the product of both English and Dutch colonization.
The Germans added the final refinement to modern racism. Germany missed most of the colonial era trying to get its own house in order. By the time the Germans had developed a strong national identity, most of the available world had already been colonized by the other European nations. Even though Germany never became a large colonial power, the concept of race was embraced throughout German society. By the end of the nineteenth century, racism was a firmly established component of Western thought and German intellectuals, who were among the leaders in every scholarly field, adopted the concept.
In fact, by 1920, no serious scholar influenced by European thinking was questioning the idea of race. But once again, it was social forces, not intellectual influence, that brought racism to a new level. The world depression of the 1930s was particularly harsh for Germany, which was trying to recover from its defeat in World War I. The German people were searching for both a sense of national unity and an explanation for their suffering. Hitler’s Third Reich government expanded on the current race thinking to invent the “Aryan race,” the purpose being to unify the rest of the population as non-”Aryan” scapegoats for virtually all social ills.
The excesses of the Third Reich and its racist policies are well known. Its influence on the concept of race is significant because Germany took the idea to ridiculous extremes. Even the most loyal scientists in Hitler’s Germany were unable to convincingly support the Third Reich’s racial theories.
Okay, that’s it. Of course, both Part 1 and Part 2 of this two-part series are, essentially, outlines. I encourage the reader to perform more study on the subject.
I am of the firm belief that, unless and until the factor of the mindset of an over-arching, still lingering Euro-Western racial supremacy is faced, discussed openly, and somehow dealt with and erased, then its existence will continue to threaten world peace.
When you want to justify anything, just say that it’s “God’s Will.” I can only hope and pray that Hamas continues to prove otherwise: That the racist, supremacist, Zionist Ashkenazi “Jews” of the death-cult misnomered “Israel” are not doing “God’s will” and they are not “The Chosen People of God,” as they claim, who have a “right” to create a “Greater Israel.”
