The Role That The TEA PARTY Plays In Present Day "Black Political Discourse"



People are noting the frequent references to "The Tea Party" by:
  • Black Progressive Elected Officials

  • Black Progressive Journalists 

  • Black Progressive Bloggers

  • White Progressive Journalists

............but are getting their analysis cluelessly wrong..................



In the analysis above Bill O'Reilly and Alan Combs of FOX News refer to the "racist" signs at "Tea Party Rallies" that target the "Black President" as the motivating reasons for the push back by the Black people who are watching the Tea Party antics with offense.

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG  - ANALYSIS

The reason why the analysis of what is happening is wrong if because they fail to understand the relationship between the "Prevailing Black Political Consciousness" and PROGRESSIVISM - via the Democratic Party.

When considering the two forces:   "Blackness" and "Progressivism" - the modern day "Black Political Discourse" is merely PROGRESSIVE /Left.   As the journalistic great George S Schuyler observed 60 years ago - "There is no Black Progressive Political Discourse" there is only a "Progressive Discourse".   Black Progressives merely seek to utilize a PROGRESSIVE methodological vehicle to divert more of their "Social Justice" spoils into the Black community.  The "Blackness" in their ideology and agenda is not in differences in their mechanics - it is merely a matter of more Black representation at the table where the nationalized goods are distributed.

In front of all of our faces is abundant evidence of this.   If you listen to Black Progressive Political Operatives surrounding the labor protests in Wisconsin, for example - they did not say "This is a new start of a Black Civil Rights Movement".   They are merely Progressives who seek to use Wisconsin and the fight against the Republican Governor there as an accelerant for a revitalized Progressive Labor movement, ultimately in support of the Democratic Party.   It must be noted that while plenty of Democratic legislative and executive authorities have decimated the ranks of their unionized labor force in the sight of budget deficits (California, Detroit, Newark) - these forces of protest are ultimately fighting to protect their UNION more than the actual fiscal viability of the entity that the labor force is attached to.   In short defend of the METHODOLOGY that they have assured themselves is the way to middle class prosperity is more important to them from an ideological standpoint than is their willingness to see that various "Mission Accomplished Cities" have actually been an assault upon their interests.

The common theme in my analysis is the call to make note of how "Methodology Over Material Gains" matters more.   Understand this point and you understand the DNA of the present day "Black Political Discourse".

I do my leg work each month, purchasing left wing political magazines as a means of understanding the source ideological moorings of Progressivism.

  • The Nation

  • Z Magazine

  • International Socialist Review

  • Dollars and Sense 

  •  - others

In these trade rags one can see a more honest and transparent analysis of how "The Black Vote" fits into the larger Progressive/Left voting block.   These (often White) writers don't need to put on a "fake racial front" about their intentions with respect to the loyalties of Black people.   They talk more openly about how the Black community as an "aggrieved community" that is disproportionately poor, disproportionately outside of educational opportunity and over-represented in the criminal justice system is a natural fit into the Progressive "Struggle Movement" for institutional reform.

I have more respect for the transparency of these mainstream left wing journals (and "Democracy Now" on television) than I do the operatives WITHIN the Black community that merely place a "lampblacked coating" - soul food seasoning if you will - on what is otherwise a straight-line leftist/progressive agenda.
A part of this repudiation is related to my observations of their knowledge that they are using and manipulating their fellow Black people.  They make "racism" a matter of an "ideological container" for none other than partisan political purposes.

Establishment Authority Repudiation

Put yourself in the shoes of elected Black progressive leadership - the "Congressional Black Caucus" of the federal government, for example.   You are alive as the nation elects its "First Black President" - as the cherry on top of the MACHINE that has been architected.  After all of the "HOPE" that was sold to Black people as their "racial pride" was fused to this accomplishments - the same grievances that the 2008 election had papered over remain as the primary assailants of the dreams and development vectors for Black people:


  1. Safe Communities

  2. Quality Education

  3. Thriving Local Economies 

  4. Healthy Lifestyle & Relationship Outcomes


With the combination of more relative POWER than ever before yet admitted shortfalls in the promised deliverables - the Black Establishment:  (The Black Racial Services Machine) are aware that they are sitting atop of a major crisis that they must stay in front of.

Their power has been augmented by their "Progressive Joint-Venture Partnerships" with the left from other races and causes.  When you listen to Black-wing talk radio there is no mistake that their enemy is the Republican Party.

Ironically even though I read an article that talked about increasing racial segregation in the communities of America and thus our schools - this is rarely translated into the understanding that with "re-segregation" also means that more "FAVORABLE PEOPLE" are in power over our communities and schools as "the enemy" can't get elected in a Black community - particularly a Black Conservative.

Faced with the growing knowledge that "their fingerprints are on the steering wheel" the Black Racial Services Machine know that they must not allow the "Black Rank & File" to see THEM as the presiding establishment and that the community is still being failed.

I have stated before - "PROGRESSIVISM IS AN IN-ORGANIC IDEOLOGY".
It struggles against the status quo while evades acceptance that it is now "Da Man".  It is a "struggle milieu".

The Black Racial Services Machine - the coordinated congregational conspiracy between: the Black Progressive Elected Officials, Black Press, Civil Rights Pharisees, Labor, Entertainers, and Black Public Intellectuals 

They promote their progressive METHODOLOGY over any notions of governance in which the integrity of the "Black Community Institutions" are defended against compromise.  With the Black Racial Services Machine as the "Judge, Jury and Executioner" within the community domain - an INDICTMENT only sticks when it has popular appeal among balance of the cogs within machine depicted to the left.

After years of provoking the Black Rank & File to invest their "community development hopes" into the American Political Domain - and then achieving a "Mission Accomplished Moment" with Obama in the White House - the years of "Failing Upward" as they failed to develop our people via the INSTITUTIONS have come back to haunt the operatives.   The education crisis, the employment crisis, the economic vulnerabilities in which our people lack fiscal leverage against forces that seek to conduct business within the Black community (Koreans merchants, Check Cashing Businesses, etc) has not been developed.  That which should have been developed internally has been outsourced to public policy hopes through the government.





It is clear - The Equal Black Ballot and the "Fused Community Development Hopes" through politics is why the machine has been so successful staying in power and growing their power while not being tossed out for its intermediate failures.   In this limited yet selfish viewpoint - the "Black Racial Services Machine"has proven it competency in keeping the Black community unified.

My argument is that UNITY - around a SYSTEM that ultimately has a vacuous core that is open to manipulation by Embedded Confidence Men is not the type of "Unity" that the Black Community can afford.  The unity needs to be around a system that has sufficient governance that has the consciousness of mind to purge METHODOLOGICAL exploits that fail to deliver up to our NEEDS as a people.

The Embedded Confidence Men Know How Black People Think
 As a check point:

  • Your Ideology and Distribution System are in Power

  • The Independent Measures (US Census) show that your people remain in an inferior position despite the promises of how the people's investments would mobilize the masses

  • Your ideological adversaries are fortifying gains that effectively block your IDEOLOGICAL advancement

What does an "Embedded Confidence Man" who has committed himself to a "Progressive-Joint Venture" that faces a potential "No Confidence Vote" from the Black Rank & File IF the prevailing sentiment sees that they have not received a "Return On Their Investments"?

RACISM CHASE!!!!!

The Embedded Confidence Men know that if they put Black people on a "racial defensive" that our survival instincts will have us curl into a defensive ball to protect ourselves from "incoming missiles" rather than have a "Vote Of No Confidence", scuttling the Black community into a civil war.


The Tea Party - at its fundamental form is a THREAT TO PROGRESSIVISM!!!

The Black Community has popularly adopted Progressivism as the pathway toward Black Community Development.  With the nation recognizing our "equal worth" via nationalized "Social Justice" - the hopes for the jobs, services and resources necessary to have the Black community live up to the desired high standards appears to be a palatable course of action.

The Tea Party with their acerbic, "In Your Face" contention - and its fair share of nincompoops proves to be a worthy vessel for the Black Racial Services Machine to stand up as "Enemy #1 " To The Black Community.

Again - listen to the various channels of political discourse today for the Black Community and you'll hear a suspiciously coordinated abhorrence to the Tea Party - beyond any plausible correlation to their actual force as defined by physics upon the Black community.

The point that people don't understand is that the forces that bear down upon the vessel known as Black community being presented with regard to their proper PROPORTION is a  matter for aviation engineers and rocket science - NOT the governance of the Black community.

When it comes to the Black community  those who can keep our people "congregationally unified", the indictment focused upon a group that the "cogs" find as worthy of attack - will receive acclaim for their success in our unity - providing the filler material to the mental question of "Why are we still struggling after the investment to remove the enemies from power and replace them with favorable people?".


I have stated many times that I ultimately don't blame Black Progressive Embedded Confidence Men.  They are doing as any other operative will do - present themselves as our protectors while brokering our riches for some other agenda.  In as much as the Black rank &file agree with this agenda these people are doing what is popular.

The Black Rank & File is at fault for failing to erect a firewall - the Institutional Integrity Protections - between the whims of  those who are politically active and the "Least Of These" people who have a ballot in hand and can be compelled to invest it into something other than what has proven to be their own interests per the exposure that time brings to light.

The Solution For Black America - Manage Our Institutions - Promote Development Of Our People Through Properly Governed Institutions


If there is no imposition of a disciplined governance model where the forces working against the uplift of the Black community are measured for the goal of mitigating them by  an "engine of uplift" that overwhelms their contraflow - there will be no gains in the Black community that are:


  • Organic

  • Enduring

  • Comprehensive

  • Transferable To Future Generations

More than anything else there must be the enforcement of PRIORITIES.   
As the daily "Twitter Feed" from "Media Matters" or "MSNBC" is cast upon the Black community - each of us needs to decide..............:
  • If Glenn Beck calling us "Colored People" is more important than the chaos in the Philadelphia Public Schools and its 100,000 Black kids

  • If references to a "Tar Baby" is more important than the daily indoctrination sessions on Black-wing talk radio which conspires to avoid talking about the spilled blood that makes so many of our sidewalks sticky

  • If Rick Perry was a racist when he was a Democrat 13 years ago thus raising questions if those in the approved "Joint-Venture" might also be "racist" by extension

Long story short - it is up to the Black Rank & File to REFUSE TO BE USED.   
Resisting the short term cheerleading in the American Political Domain and instead key in upon governing the interests of our own institutions.
