A debates with Black Progressives, whose was ultimate goal was to advance his JingOist perspective, put forth the preposition that "Obama was smarter than the both of us".
What was put forth as seeming "praise for a Black man" who had a lot going for him - and demanding another Black person (me) agree to put aside our difference and at least agree on the obvious was in truth done for more nefarious purposes.
You see - the JingOist (a propagandist for the benefit of Obama and Progressivism) knows that if we all agree that "Obama is the smartest man in the room" then he inferiorizes his own self and then gets his debate opponent to follow suit. With us both bowing down to Obama's brilliance the JingOists real agenda is expressed. Since the JingOist is in support of Obama's theories and policies he has successfully gotten one of the common enemies to show reverence and thus dislodge his "foolish positions".
When it comes to the modern day presentation of Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr the very same tactic is at hand. If Dr King is presented as an infallible vessel for us all to being our personal intellectual journeys upon then those who are critical of the base of Black Progressive Thought that has developed using King's representation will also find themselves undercut.
They fail to point out that when King was alive he was criticized by Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael from the anti-establishment perspective, George S Schuyler from the conservative right and even Thurgood Marshall regarding the tactics of marching versus legislation.
If those legends who are otherwise thought of as brilliant men found King worthy of criticism - what should we consider this modern day reverence of Dr King as being faultless? I attribute this to the same "Self-Inferiorization Scheme" described above for the purposes of advancement of their present Progressive-Fundamentalist Agenda.
Please understand - this post is not an attack on Dr King. At minimum he is a worthy symbol of the struggle that millions of people partook in and his image on the National Mall is a worthy representation of all of the these people who battled unbearable odds so that we could enjoy the freedoms that we have today.
With that said - none of this worthiness justifies the usurpation of the King image for advancement of their ideology and politics today.
As a resident of Metro Atlanta I am treated to heavy doses of the antics of King's lieutenants that are still alive today. I even admit that if King were still alive he would likely have the mindset of a Lewis or Lowery or Jackson than a disposition like my own. I would likely stand opposed to King's modern economic theories if they were anything like those which have been expressed by his son (III) and late wife.
While they may lay claim to the "moral high ground" as they focus upon "The Least Of These" I believe that my choice to move beyond reference to METHODOLOGY and instead focus on EFFECTIVE RESULTS forces a recalibration of that which the Black Community has accepted as the pathway forward.
The key point that the Civil Rights Pharisees of today miss is that THEY or their Joint-Venture Partners are now in the seats of power that were held by the people who used to beat down King and all who walked with them. Instead of choosing to acknowledge this point and bear witness to their new "establishment authority power" they remain fused to their METHODOLOGY and "Moral High Ground". This has them scaling outward to find enemies who stand opposed to their methodology - seeing if they were little "Klan hood pins" on their lapels.
The former organic Black Community Development Agenda has now become a 100% ideological and partisan scheme. Integration has made it so that the "Malcolm X Political Football Game" that he warned us about is now fully fused into the "Black Agenda". This is indisputable.
The latest scribble by Progressive-Fundamentalist journalist Leonard Pitts proves my argument. Pitts tells us that Dr King marched for "labor unions, the poor and little puppies". I was disappointed that he did not include a picture of Milwaukee in his article.
Former South Carolina Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer once likened them to stray animals one feeds at the back door. Fox “News” pundit John Stossel sees them as the enemy in a battle between “the makers and the takers.” Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning compares them to scavenging “raccoons.” Ann Coulter says welfare creates “irresponsible animals.”
Clearly Mr Pitts is a sensitive man. In their supremacy - any White Conservative Wolf can say things that penetrate the fake front of the strong black-exterior. He is unable to point to examples of organic increase received by Black people after so much has been invested in the way of our "Community Development Consciousness". (Where is the Cheshire Fox when all of this goes down?)
What if someone said that "The Korean retailers that line the streets of the Black Community are lazy raccoons"? Would any of them be bothered by this statement per their known proficiency in developing markets even in Black communities that Blacks had complained were marginalized and dead? I suspect that when it came to the raccoon reference - the Black consumers purchasing the food from the Chinese restaurant in their own community would again be offended as they wonder if it was really beef in their "Beef and Broccoli with fried rice".
Do you see that PITTS OFFERS NOTHING in his analysis but a bucket of chum that you might fortify your anger and loosen your "Equal Black Ballot" and your Consciousness!!!???
"So we should just let dem (conservative) Whites talk about us like that?" needs to be replaced with the understand that each minute you focus on THEM.................is another minute that you are not focusing on your own community. Multiply that minute times the number of people who wasted it and you are talking about real time.
The sad part about Pitts and those who are similarly comprised is that can't bring themselves to see that in the enumeration of PRIORITIES for the Black Community the promotion of the racio-ideological battle has the POWER to clear out all other more enduring priorities.
- I say "When the Tea Party starts indiscriminately killing Black people then I will raise my gun in our common defense"
- THEY say "If we take our eyes off of them - they will go back to doing this very thing"
- I REBUT their REBUTTAL by noting that the Black Quasi-Socialist Progressive-Fundamentalist Racism Chaser having KEEP their eyes on the Tea Party - have "taken their eyes off of" those who ARE MURDERING BLACK PEOPLE indiscriminately today. Because of the incompetence of the Black Racial Services Machine (that the biased Black press is a part of) in governing our people toward more favorable outcomes....................they engage in this external watch upon the Tea Parties in order to compensate for what they have allowed to fester within. The "congregational unity" behind their mission is ONLY achieved by the flow of propaganda into the Black community. They know that it will trigger the intended effects: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
What people can't see in Mr Pitts' article is that while indeed UNIONS represent the "voice of the worker" - the Black community in its present state has a problem with the development of JOBS in our community. Without jobs a union membership is ultimately irrelevant.
Pitts as a resident of Metro DC needs to take a trip down to Miami to get a bit more acclimated to the hard truth that surrounded the recent CBC Jobs Fair. In the midst of the grievances for employment for Black people who were suffering from economic erosion - his ideological friends took a page out of his article archive and convinced the Black people in the congregation that the "Tea Party" was responsible for their lack of jobs - not the incompetence of the array of leadership in greater Miami - one of the "distressed cities" that served as stops on the "CBC Jobs Fair /Back Of The Bus Tour".
Leonard Pitts, like Rep Fredrica Wilson knows that Black people in a desperate situation are prone to buy into the narrative that people they hold in confidence present to them. Though they are the ones that should be "put on trial" and forced to enumerate their organic benefit to the Black Community - they sense the growing frustrations of the crowd and short circuit the "No Confidence Vote" by fusing their angst against the "Tea Party Union Busters". Few will stop to think that 7 months of obstruction in the US House can't possibly explain away 45 years of investments of "Equal Black Ballots" who's returns are suspect.
Sadly there are few "Mission Accomplished Cities" that Pitts could point to which have not had a major layoff of unionized municipal workers. This was not done in the spirit of any predilection for negative thoughts about organized unions. Instead the balance sheet of the city/state made it so that the cuts were necessary to retain their fiscal viability.
While the popular refrain from the left is "Revenue Enhancement through additional taxes" they can bring themselves to see the circular indictment that shines upon them. The takeover of our institutions has not provided the "organic competency development" through which increased funds can be tapped for our own use. Instead they are forced to execute a "national social justice raid on the Treasury". The Tea Party being the main threat to Progressivism - with no evidence that they have ever slayed a Black man but instead has put his dreams of a "Progressive Public Policy Future" to rest.
Having played this short term "Get The Enemy" game they have failed to produce sufficient organic economic development within the Black community. Their antics merely allow them to keep their own jobs. With a swarm of Progressive-Fundamentalist Black journalists watching the fray and defending their ideology and the erection of the power base - any chance that the Black community's interests will be defended by someone who is keeping watch on the growth of our investments is squandered. They are all working in ideological unity.
Dr King is not offensive to me. The ecosystem of usurpers of his memory are offensive.
This is the very same disposition that I had with respect to candidate Obama as I noted the unsavory characters who used him to use US.
Despite all of the metaphors that will be heard from King and applied to today's ideological and political battle - the one inescapable truth remains - despite the growth of the Progressive-Fundamentalist political power base and its recent expansion into a multi-media propaganda news feed - the underlying element that they all CLAIM to be working in the benefit of remains anemic - our "Black Community Aggregate Value & Worth" bucket remains a "glass half empty". The normal process of retribution for those who have failed us as we purge them for more effective alternatives has instead turned into a protection racket.
In the end they realize that the Black Rank & File is always ready to be provoked by the sentiments and sensibilities that are fortified each time a black and white Civil Rights film is shown on:
- The Third Monday in January
- The Second Month Of The Year
- The 4th Day Of July - When The Negro Was Not Free
- August 28th - when the US Park Service handed out a permit for them to rally
