2008’s Ten Worst Places to Be Black and Other Media Links
“2008’s Ten Worst Places to be Black”
blackagendareport.com: “Evidently, the highest relative percentages of African Americans, if not the highest absolute numbers of black incarcerated are to be found in and near large concentrations of northern Blacks, or in states where African Americans make up a relatively small percentage of the population.”
“Sexual Consequences of Female Initiation Rites In Africa”
This John Tierney report remixed by kathmanduk2 and many others like it fail to explore the degradation in quality of any so-called African “rite” due to colonial pollution. It is just wrong to assume that modern Africans can function on par with their pre-Columbian ancestors. It should be no surprise that any modern African activities that require collective coordination, discipline, precision and meditative reverence are going to often end up totally botched, screwed up. There are very many excellent and poised African individuals in today’s world but very few effective and potent African groups—the powers of Indo-European origin need to keep it this way in order to maintain control over the colored majority masses on this planet. This is done not solely out of hatred but for the preservation of barbarian concepts of business and property as we captive people know it.
Cute Black History Articles on HowStuffWorks.com
I was shocked to find articles like “Why is Mesopotamia called the cradle of civilization?” or “Did the ancient Greeks get their ideas from the Africans?” on a site like HowStuffWorks.com. My assumption is that this is a “general education” Web site designed to attract a “universal” audience for the incredible seductive power of the promise of advertising dollars. So, once these articles appeared before my eye, the subsequent assumption was that the “level headed” voice of HowStuffWorks.com would quickly dismiss any African significance in the intellectual lineage of Greek “thought.” My assumption was not exactly correct. However, there is a danger of “finally” letting the truth out with a title like “Did the ancient Greeks get their ideas from the Africans?”. There are many, many Greek “ideas” for which Africans should not take responsibility!
Tom Hodgkinson on the politics of the people behind Facebook
In “With friends like these…,” Tom Hodgkinson exposes the real face behind Facebook, Peter Thiel: “But Thiel is more than just a clever and avaricious capitalist. He is a futurist philosopher and neocon activist. A philosophy graduate from Stanford, in 1998 he co-wrote a book called The Diversity Myth, which is a detailed attack on liberalism and the multiculturalist ideology that dominated Stanford. He claimed that the ‘multiculture’ led to a lessening of individual freedoms. While a student at Stanford, Thiel founded a rightwing journal, still up and running, called The Stanford Review— motto: Fiat Lux (‘Let there be light’). Thiel is a member of TheVanguard.Org, an internet-based neoconservative pressure group that was set up to attack MoveOn.org, a liberal pressure group that works on the web. Thiel calls himself ‘way libertarian’.”
I welcome this Tom Hodgkinson article because it helps to explain (in small, large, small part) why I am not (right now) a net-net several hundred thousandaire (having made millions). There are devout white supremacists in the American IT industry that would rather have their business fail than let a Black man flex his raw intellectual power with clear and present supremacy on his private property.
A Michael Jordan on the basketball court is one thing. A Michael Jordan in the IT shop embarrassing some incompetent, co-workers with strained, racial overtones is quite another. Oh sure I can make mistakes and I am not perfect but the white IT business suffers colored fools lightly—and somehow I am still working quite well in this field for over a decade—with a pathetic lack of strategic obsequiousness. As a child I understood that any “logical” business leader was led solely by the bottom line and the inherent meritocracy of technology would lead me to great heights. Hah! Even though an IT giant like Paul Prescod may in sincere sympathy disagree with me (and Dare Obasanjo definitely, ironically would), the next time you hear Ed Dunn explode about “tech industry bigots” think of Peter Thiel.
