White privilege is so embedded in our society, it goes hand in hand with white supremacy. Something as basic as an education, has white privilege written all over it. I'm talking from grade school to college. Most major urban cities have exam schools that are part of their public school system, but the majority of people attending these schools tend to be the children of white liberals who gentrified the hood, and the largest minority group tend to be Asian. In Boston, those schools are: Boston Latin, Boston Latin Academy, and John D. O'Bryant high school. In New York City, it's Bronx Science, Brooklyn Tech and a couple of other schools that i can't recall right now. Most of these schools give privilege to white people, even though these urban schools are located in predominantly black neighborhoods. I attended one of those schools, so I have an idea.
Even something as important as a college decision gives way to white supremacy and privilege. Most black students look forward to attending the college that gives them the best financial aid package, whether they like the school or not, while the majority of white students tend to have a choice as to where they can attend. Financially, we're at a disadvantage. Shit like that tends to happen when a group of people worked for free for close to 400 years. Shit, most of these colleges and universities were built on free labor. We don't even understand the psychological impact on someone who's attending a school where they don't really have a choice in the matter. It can almost feel like the first time a black student tried to integrate the public school system in the south. To be at a place that you don't like for 4 years can be grueling, but black people aren't complaining, though. Many of us have managed to earn degrees at colleges and universities where we were the only black student in every class. The college campus itself gives way to white privilege, because the majority of the white students belong to a community that makes them feel comfortable from the onset. Unfortunately, the HBCU's aren't funded well enough to offer financial aid packages to all the marginalized black people in this country. It takes special athletic skills and gifts for black people to earn a choice in the school, which they would like to attend.
Liberal white people are all for social justice and equality, until it threatens their white privilege. And then they create conditions, and conditions that can get people like Dr. Martin Luther King killed. It was all good while he was bowing to them, but the minute he started to develop a backbone on behalf of his people, liberals had to shut him down. They couldn't have 2 Malcolm Xs. Their demise was orchestrated by the same liberals who marched with Dr. King, and stood up against Malcolm X. Historically, white liberals had only taught the slaves how to read, so those slaves could use the bible to convert other slaves to become docile Christians. When Nat Turner decided to interpret their own bible his own way, they did away with him. In all unfairness and injustice, I'm tired of society always pointing to liberal white people as the sympathizing saviors of black folks. They refuse to tell the world how resilient we are as a people. They are quick to tell us that white people taught so and so how to read, but seldom mention the many slaves who taught themselves how to read. It wasn't unusual for the slaves to become curious about what was being read by these white people. Just like people like Prince taught himself to play many different instruments, there were many slaves who taught themselves how to read. In addition, let's not forget that not every black person kidnapped by white people in Africa was illiterate. After all, civilization started in Africa. There were educated Africans among the captives. White people have never paid the price for their crimes against humanity. Black folks are supposed to swallow that shit up and forget about slavery, while these fuckers can't even let go of 911. They commemorate that shit annually. I won't even mention the Holocaust, because the Jews are still receiving checks from the federal government of the United States for something that happened in Germany. However, bring up reparations and see what happens? Obama didn't even want to address reparations on behalf of black people while he was in office, but was quick to hand a check to the Jews for the holocaust. White privilege is a mother, even a black president had to honor it.
The famous common white soliloquy about all black people being descendants of slaves is a major detractor in the abilities of our forefathers. Many of them were well-trained men and women who were forced into bondage by illiterate white kidnappers, thieves, murderers, criminals and racists from Europe. We have to stop allowing white people the comfort of using this dialogue that black people are descendants of slaves. I have never heard white people referring to themselves as descendants of kidnappers, murderers, thieves, and rapists. White privilege is all about hiding the truth, and using a blanket to cover all white dishonesty and injustice, while elevating white people to a state of superiority by creating a false sense of inferiority for black people. Their shit is so far from the truth and reality, it has to be practiced on a daily basis to make it real.
White folks don't want to know the truth, and they can't handle the truth. Unfortunately, neither can some black people about their own race's abilities and capabilities.
Richard Jeanty: The Man Behind It All

Michael Bennett is just the tip of the iceberg.
Unfortunately, it took a well-known athlete like Michael Bennett to become a victim, in order for this racist society, whose liberals tend to wear permanent rosy glasses, to even address the fact that police brutality against black people is systemic, and racial profiling is taught at the police academy. In light of Trump's decision to rescind the DACA program, which protected children of illegal immigrants that are mostly Hispanic, one would think Hispanic officers would have the decency to understand the plight of the marginalized black people. However, it's not about Hispanic, black or white officers. Racial profiling is part of the training for all officers at the police academy. I'm not absolving these two Hispanic cowards of responsibility for what they did to Michael Bennett, but we must take a closer look at the procedures and training that are in place at the police academy.
There's a 95% chance that most black men in this country, at some point in their lives, have been the victim of racial profiling. Personally, I've been profiled so many times, I lost count. Having a gun drawn to my head and being falsely arrested by ill-trained officers is regular happenstance in my life. Still, rich white team owners have decided to punish a man who decided to shed light on a situation that is too real to all black people. We will never stop talking about Kaepernick, because when he made the decision to bring scrutiny to this issue, he clearly understood the ramifications and he knew what was at stake. As the NFL season is underway tonight, I hope all black people in this country will blackout tonight's game, and the rest of the games for the entire season, in honor of Kaepernick.
Whether liberal or conservative, white people's established class system in this country benefits both groups. First of all, too many people are fooled into believing that slavery was just about capitalism. Yes, white people are some lazy fucks who don't want to work hard, but like to reap the fruits of somebody else's hard labor. That's true in every form. Over 400 years ago, they sailed to Africa to illegally kidnap and enslave black people. Nowadays, they rely more on Hispanic workers to do the hard work for the cheapest labor they can provide. If you don't believe me, ask the white farmers in Alabama how much money they have lost because migrant workers aren't around to pick their fruits. While mass deportation of Hispanics is taking place under the Trump administration, he's also offering H-1 visas to anybody who wants to be a migrant worker slave on the orange fields in Alabama and across the rest of the country. Since the mass deportation of illegal people which started under the Obama administration, the farm industry in America has lost close to a trillion dollars. White people don't want to do the hard work that Hispanic workers are willing to do to support their families. And black people will never goo back to the field, because it's reminiscent of slavery. Though capitalism played a major role in white people's greed and their determination to enslave black people, racism emerged in a classist society created from white people's actions. White people will never own up to classism, because it breeds white supremacy. Without classism, racism cannot exist. Classism has nothing to do with wealth or your stance in society as it relates to culture, profession or religion. It has everything to do with skin color. Michael Bennett is a multi-millionaire athlete who entertains white America 16 weeks out of the year. He's better known and more recognizable than some of the wealthiest white people, but his skin color makes him a victim of classism, as well as racism. Classism has everything to do with white skin. No matter how poor a white person may be, or invaluable to society, he's of a higher class, and is taught that by society. Not only that, Bennett is also very elite as a player, and has been the voice for many people who have been silenced as little black boys to grown ass men. The police department enforces classism and racism. There are too many examples and instances where classism kept armed white people from getting murdered by police, while a 12 year-old innocent black boy was murdered for no reason. We have to look beyond racism to understand how white people value their class in society. Your white liberals will never submit to being second class citizens, no matter how loud they want to appear to be on behalf of justice and equality. Black people are treated like second class citizens, no matter how wealthy, famous, or educated we are.
What we have witnessed is a travesty of justice, because there's no justification for humiliation when someone has done nothing wrong. The two Hispanic officers who decided to violate the civil rights of Michael Bennett, did so because we live in a society where classism precedes racism, and people like Zimmerman and these Hispanic officers feel they can benefit from the classism that has put a hierarchy in place over 4 centuries ago that places black people at the bottom of the barrel. I don't know these 2 cowardice Hispanic officers, but I can guess they were trained to command more respect from black people, in order to set the tone even in the most indisputable irrelevant case to diffuse a situation. This classism is also the reason why so many Hispanics voted for Trump, and later found themselves on a one-way charter bus back to their countries of birth. They don't even understand this type of classism that has more to do with white people putting themselves on a pedestal, than somebody else's status in society. White people don't give a shit about anybody's class in society but their own. Unfortunately, many Hispanics were delusional enough to believe Trump thought they were close enough to white, as if he didn't set that tone from the very beginning of his campaign, when he called them rapists and murderers.

The silencing of Kaepernick is bigger than Kaepernick.
I understand that a lot of people are looking at Keapernick's former fortunate position as an NFL quarterback, and feel he had it made, and should have kept his mouth shut. Only the top 1% of people get to earn the amount of money Kaepernick has earned during his short illustrious career as an NFL quarterback. That's a position of a lifetime earning for most people. Some people don't even get to earn a quarter of what Kaepernick has earned during his short career. Okay, now that we have that out of the way, we can now look at what he has risked and lost for the betterment of black people. At the age of 29, Kaepernick is just beginning his career as a quarterback. Even the worst quarterbacks in football history have gone on to play in their late 30's. Kaepernick has only signed one big contract after taking his team to the super bowl. Essentially, he was positioned to earn at least 2 more long term contracts, which could have easily placed his salary over 200 million dollars in the next 10 years. If you don't believe 200 million dollars is a lot of money for a man who was adopted by white people, led pretty much a privileged life, and could have chosen to turn a blind eye to the injustice against back people, but took a risk on us instead, then we shouldn't even be engaged in any type of exchanges about social injustice.
If every black leader took a selfish disposition to only worry about themselves and their immediate family, black folks would still be in shackles today. Dr. King could've easily led a prosperous life as a preacher, but he chose to forgo all of it by making the personal sacrifice to fight on behalf of black people. It takes a very selfless person to turn their life on options that most people are willing to denigrate themselves for, in order to attain the American dream. That's just one side of the equation.
There's always more than one side to every complicated situation. We have a myriad of black people who swallow their pride and lose their dignity on a daily basis for survival sake. The white bosses don't necessarily have to humiliate with action, their intent with words can sometime force the marginalized into silence. Once a person's voice is taken from them, they've pretty much assumed the position of subhuman. Jerry Jones was the first owner to threaten his players, if they didn't stand for the National Anthem, and fall in line with their own subjugation. Don't be fooled with white billionaires who are willing to pay millions of dollars for football players with checkered past. It doesn't mean they aren't racist. Jerry Jones has put his racism on center stage, and James Harrison who plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers, echoed those sentiments to his teammates before his master even had a chance to say a word. The battle against white supremacy will not easily be won, because we have too many white supremacists in black skin. These lost souls are the reason why white supremacy thrives. The list will get longer by the weeks, because people like George Foreman who's been hit too many times on his head, feels he has a valid opinion on Kaepernick that supports the white supremacist system in place that allowed him to be exploited with a grill that bears his name that only nets him less than 1% of the annual revenues. People like Michael Jordan who stayed silent on social issues during his career are only netting about 1% of the revenues that white supremacy has built on his name. Nike generates billions of dollars from the Jordan brand every year, but Jordan gets a check for about 90 million dollars, which is less than 1% of Nike's annual sales for his brand. It's difficult to get these people to see their own exploitation, much less somebody else's.
While we should all band together to fight for Kaepernick, this fight is actually bigger than Kaepernick. We are standing for all those black people that are silenced every day, because they have financial responsibilities to their families. The mortgage/rent, utilities, food. clothing etc must be paid, and in order to do that, some black people must relinquish their voice, which is why the courageous ones must always have our support, and we must do everything in our power to push back this white transgression toward a marginalized group. Money tends to have a "rosy glasses" affect on the less fortunate. A Ray Lewis can pay so very little attention to his own son's situation who's under investigation for sexual aggravation against 2 women, because his voice against Kaepernick gives credence to white supremacy. We must learn!

The Media and Facebook work in Cahoots with the NFL
I'm sure many of you have seen the picture of Marshawn Lynch sitting on the bench during the National Anthem by himself. His heroic efforts have rubbed the overt Nationalists the wrong way, but the covert Nationalists are the ones downplaying the movement that has been joined by many other Raiders players, as well as other NFL players. I'm sure many of you have not seen the picture of the myriad of Raiders players who knelt for the National Anthem, in support of Kaepernick and Marshawn Lynch. The media hides those pictures on purpose, because they don't want us to know this movement is moving full speed ahead.
The job of the media is to keep black people uninformed and misinformed. They want us to believe that no one black person can stand alone to fight against them, and it's difficult to get black people to unite in support of one another. You should be able to smell bullshit when it's thrown in your face. There are plenty of players who are willing to kneel or sit during the National Anthem, and many have done so. The televised games work in favor of the NFL owners. It's no coincidence that ESPN had a fantasy football auction yesterday, and all the people buying players were white. They can't get away from who they really are.
We have to be mindful of the fact that most of these white billionaires and millionaires who control sports and the media are very close friends. When you see a guy like Bob Kraft or Bill Bellichick canoodling with Trump, you must wonder if they share the same views or not. Racist people owned slaves, so racist coaches can coach black players, and racist owners are more than willing to pay big money for the black players who will yield them the highest return. Don't be fooled or deterred by the amount of money these athletes are making. A slave is still a slave, no matter how posh his lifestyle may be. If his voice is taken away, he's a slave nonetheless. While they are quick to talk about Michael Bennett, Malcolm Jenkins and Marshawn Lynch, they're purposely leaving out all the other unknown black players who decided to risk their job by taking a knee for the cause. For this reason alone, no Black household in this country should tune in to the NFL games for the entire season.
The other day, I wrote a post addressing Hue Jackson's and James Harrison's comments regarding players taking a seat during the National Anthem, and I was quickly blocked by Facebook. While Facebook encourages cooning by men like James Harrison, Ray Lewis, Hugh Jackson whose Cleveland Browns I hope will end up with a record of 0-16 this year, they are quick to shut down anybody who's willing to shed light on white supremacy. These rich black men have become the voice for white supremacy, and white people give them full access to the media.
I made the decision to terminate my account on Facebook, because of their racist policies toward the enlightenment of black people. If nobody on my page is offended by what I post, Facebook shouldn't have the right to tell me I'm not in compliance with the Facebook community. The community on my page is created by me. My friends are selected by me, and some of them choose to be on my page, because they support what I have to say about the issues regarding the state of black people. Everyone on Facebook has a community that's created by them, not Facebook. The owners of Facebook seem to forget that Facebook is only a platform used by people to create communities. White people and control go hand in hand, as it relates to anybody but white people. The Alt-right has spread hate on Facebook without any interference. The censorship by Facebook has everything to do with racism and nothing to do with compliance. I don't have a public page. Everything I write is private, and there should be no reason for Facebook to tell me I'm not in compliance. The bigger picture, though, lies in the fact that Facebook is now considered the biggest media conglomerate in the world. They've bought every social media company and outlet, and you can't join anything without signing on with your Facebook page. I'm on to them, and you should be too.
The fact that we are at a point in this country where white men feel the need to walk around with Tiki torches to intimidate people for their white privilege, should be enough to wake us out of our coma. The multitude of issues facing the black community is being censored on a platform owned by a bunch of rich white billionaires. Think about that for a minute!

The black elite
The black elite tend to mess up everything for black people worldwide. I have yet to visit a country where the black elite wasn't one of the reasons why education, healthcare, social services, and overall black poverty existed.
The problem with the black elite is their undying quest for acceptance in white society. Most elitists didn't even plan to become elitist. Most of the time, it just happens. It's so easy to become an elitist, that few people put any thought into the process. Black elitists love to recruit other black people to become elitists like them. Obama and his wife are both elitists, but black people would never label them as such. Obama totally forgot about the role and reason for affirmative action when he told black people to pull themselves by their bootstraps during one of his speeches. That couldn't be more of an elitist statement. He and his wife have demonstrated their elitist status from the time they left office. They are now rich and totally disconnected to the people. Now they're hanging out on 300 million dollar yacht, with Wall Street moguls, and all the other things that elitists do, because that was their quest from the very beginning. Not that they were connected to the populist to begin with, because Obama's goal was to become the first elitist Negro president of this country.
A lot of people are not going to like what I'm saying here, but it's the truth. Most elitist Negroes in America, the Caribbean and Africa tend to be light skinned. Elitism starts when one of these Negroes obtain a college education from a respected/prestigious white institution of higher learning. They get to connect with other elitist Negroes who influence their thoughts and their being, and they suddenly see being an elitist will work to advance their careers and stance in society. Now, I'm not absolving the dark skinned elitist from the list, because they tend to either marry white people or very light skinned people after obtaining degrees from prestigious white institutions as well. The dark skinned elitists are the worst, because they now hate dark skinned people. Everything light or white is right, and everything dark turns them off. The weird thing about the black elite is, they all have the same attitude toward black people and the poor, no matter where they are in the world.
The most destructive place where the black elite has suffocated the people, is Haiti. Jamaica comes a close second. In Haiti, the black elite sometimes believe that they are white. The light complexion and sometimes curly hair of these mutts, make them believe they are higher on the hierarchy of color, as it relates to their fellow black people. Those same people in Haiti are behind the economic destruction of Haiti, as well as the destruction of infrastructure, security, jobs, development, and growth. The poverty stricken young black men in America are no different than the millions of poverty stricken black children in Haiti who have grown up without hope for the last few decades. And it's all because of the black elite.
There's no place in America to find black elitism than the Congressional Black Caucus. Those assholes are behind many legislation that keep black people in a state of destruction. Charles Rangel is a notorious elitist. They create delusions and false hopes by acting as ambassadors for the poor, while they spend their entire lives in Washington getting rich at the expense of black people. In America, the black elite tend to marry white as well. However, in America a prestigious college education is not the only thing that leads to elitism. Money also plays a major role in that. Rich Negro athletes can't wait to have a white woman on their arms to be accepted by white society, even those who grew up in the projects. Suddenly, they start having blurred vision about the roadblocks that prevent other black people from climbing the ladder of success, and the obstacle course created exclusively for black people who don't have any athletic abilities. Charles Barkley is a prime example.
Black folks are their own worse enemy sometimes, because they have the hardest time accepting who they are, and most of them can't wait to run from their roots the minute they attain any amount of success. Once the root is disconnected from the tree, that tree's soul is as good as dead.
I actually wrote the post before I EVEN READ THE ARTICLE BELOW. I added the article, because it emphasizes Obama's elitism that most people can't seem to grasp.

Pour Le Pays, Pour La Patrie is a thing of the past in Haiti.
We must understand that Haitians suffer the most devastating identity crisis known to mankind, due to illiteracy. After watching a tape of Haitian fanatics going crazy over the national Brazilian team, I'm convinced that we have no patriots left in Haiti. Everything non-Haitian has a better outlook. There are no more patriots left in Haiti. You’re not a patriot, my parents aren’t patriots and most people in Haiti are not patriots. You can’t be patriotic when your goal is to escape Haiti for the next destination for a better life. Brazilians and Argentinians are better to them, because they offer better results and outcome. Psychologically, we have been doomed for a while. We are a nation with no direction. Mediocrity is acceptable and no one is willing to risk their lives to enforce change. The status quo remains. White people have managed to run Haitians out of their own country. They've taken away their hopes, only to humiliate them when they show up on American shores.
Just think about the fact that Haitians are willing to risk their lives over the deadly waters in the Caribbean sea to reach Florida, they are willing to allow themselves to be treated like animals in countries like Brazil, the Dominican republic and more, but they’re not willing to risk their lives to change Haiti. What does that tell you about the psyche of our people? Getting elected to any political office in Haiti is a quick scheme to riches. No allegiance to the country whatsoever on the part of the politicians.
Haitians have very little to be patriotic about. Since I was a child, I have seen nothing but chaos in Haiti. Through no fault of my own, I was raised out of Haiti. My parents brought me here for a better life as a young kid, because they didn’t have the fight in them to fight for a better Haiti, as most Haitians do not. There’s no dignity, pride or anything left in Haiti. Haitians are proud abroad, while their country continues to suffer the brunt of poverty in the western hemisphere. Haitian politicians ought to be shot for not giving a damn about their country, and for stealing Haitian resources and allowing foreigners to steal whatever else remains.

Team light skinned VS team dark skinned.
Here we are in 2014, and we're still struggling with an issue that has kept the black community divided since the white man set foot in Africa.
While embracing the fact that the black race offers so many different hues would be beneficial to our community as a group, instead, we choose to disband ourselves and continue to engage in a prejudicial battle that was created mostly through rapes and forced relationships by our former enslavers. Sometimes I wonder what it is that doesn't click for us psychologically. I understand that people should have their preferences when it comes to choosing a mate, but creating a new form of racism to breed a new subculture within the black race is detrimental to our development.
Our children should not be dealing with issues that our forefathers dealt with on the plantation. The House Negro vs the Field Negro philosophy should be abandoned. To be quite honest, the House Negro has carried all the different hues within our race, in order to advance his career politically. It's not the same house or field Negro anymore. Do the names Clarence Thomas and Herman Cain ring a bell? Some black people are born to sell their souls for their own benefit. There's simply nothing we can do about that. However, when people are forced to waste their breath discussing Zoe Zaldana's not being black enough to take on the role of Nina Simone, it just seems like we're taking two hundred steps backwards. When has Hollywood ever done a biopic using a black actor that looked remotely close to the person being portrayed? I can't recall any. Malcolm X was affectionately known as Red to his friends on the streets of Boston, because of his red hair, freckles and light complexion, but nobody complained that Denzel did a great job portraying him on the big screen. I'm not gonna go tit for tat and list every black biopic that has been filmed in Hollywood by an actor or actress who didn't fit the physical description of the legend portrayed, but I do find it sad on our part that we can't let go of that separatist state of mind among black people. It's bad enough that we have to deal with racism from white people, and prejudice from every other race. We need to use that energy to strengthen ourselves as a people, not weaken our community through division.
If light and dark skinned blacks are having issues, what would then become of the honey complected black folks? Are they gonna be lost like the mixed children who struggle with identity crisis most of their lives? Wouldn't it be stupid for a child born from two black parents to have to deal with identity issues because he or she might be light brown? I'm starting to feel stupid even writing about this bullcrap. Maybe I need to stop before I fry any more brain cells.
It's time for us to wake up and unite, in order to deal with the real issues that impact our community daily. Stop the madness already!
