Blacks claiming to be inferior

There is no race on earth that takes greater pride and pleasure in insulting itself than the Black race. It looks as if we are in our best merits when it comes to calumniating the race and describing ourselves in repugnant terms as an inferior human species. To wit, expectorating on ourselves and excoriating one another have become our castanet of faith and stock in trade. Somehow, we think that insulting the race is a testament of our enlightenment…… the evidence of our intellectual advancement!

And this is the case because our education is structured to project the White person as some sort of a God, to worship his representation as the true deity, to regard his image as divine angels; to spurn the Black image as that of the demon; to serve the economic and political interests of White people; to salivate on their dietary predilections, to speak like them, dress like them, eat like them, drink like them and even act like them.

And in the last fell swoop of our degeneracy to finish us off in our own self destruction as subhumans, our leaders and teachers and thinkers and prophets and pastors have been strident and articulate in undermining the confidence of Blacks. Our professors, scientists, scholars and mentors have taken part in blasphemous statements in derision and calumniation of the race. And whenever they juxtapose Whites with Blacks, it is just to show how all Whites are good; and how all Blacks are bad.

And dare anyone explain to these comcasted heretics that the science supports the notion that all humans are equal! Or that within every race are elements of the good, the ugly or the bad! They will invoke curses on you to make their point and describe you as an arrogant person full of delusions and illusions, and unable to confront the truth and reality in life: Their truth and reality in life being that the Whites are superior, and that we Blacks are inferior.

Methinks it is everybody’s prerogative to consider himself and his family as subhumans. If your father or mother is inferior to Whites, you have the right to speak for yourself. Everybody is free to think of themselves as animals! But where they insist on including the whole race in their characterization, that is where the problem arises. If you or your family have failed to live up to purpose, you can always aptly describe yourself in bestial terms, or as a herd of yahoos; but don’t include all Blacks in your repugnant description.

You don’t know all Blacks from the beginning of the world. You don’t know all Blacks living in this world today. And you have no way of knowing any black that will be born in future. You don’t know what Blacks have done with the world or in their lives. Moreover, the notion that your insult is a necessary evil for any positive change to occur in Black communities is the vestige of what the White supremacist daily teaches you for you to hate yourself. He is indeed goading you on and brainwashing you to hate yourself in order for you to help him wipe you out from the surface of the earth.

For indeed, those who want to destroy any race will first designate them as subhumans, and then proceed to wipe them out, or enslave them, as in the case of the Jews in Hitler’s Germany: Hitler and his cronies began by characterizing the Jews as inferior, and because they themselves appeared to agree with their designation, they offered no meaningful resistance and virtually helped Hitler to wipe out six million of them. There are even those who believe some Jews collaborated in their own extermination, by resorting to the Stockholm syndrome!!

It seems to me that in our own self-destructive insults of ourselves, Blacks are busy preparing themselves for our own self-extermination, and will gleefully participate in their own holocaust. if we are agreeing that we are subhumans, then there is the valid argument that we are not fit to live: Self-confessed Neanderthals have no right to coexist with real human beings! And so if we are readily agreeing that we are subhumans, we are giving ammunition for the other races to wipe us out.

There is a guy on Ghanaweb “Say it Loud” (SIL) with the moniker “JW” whose lifetime mission appears to be to recite daily condemnation and curses upon all Blacks. In his pinhead, there is nothing good in the “negro”. He supports the notion of our sub humanity. There is also the loudmouth Avraham Ben Moshe who daily travels the country to look for what the country has done wrong, never what we have done right. And when he finds any wrong anywhere, he espouses and exaggerates it in strident husky voice, and glibly and foolishly associates it with all Ghanaians and the Black race. He then proceeds to compare the Black race with the Whites to insult all Blacks as evil and to praise all Whites as good.

There is also the matter of the Black girl who will not have anything to do with the Black guy, imagining him to be a country bumpkin and a generic loser. One such girl stated that he would not have anything to do with any Black guy, and when I drew her attention to the fact that I was also Black, she retorted that I was different! I never spoke with her again.

There are also all these successful Black people who move to White communities and marry low level Whites or at least some light skinned Blacks just to affirm the validity of their success. These are all traitors to the race insofar as they think and mouth gibberish about it.

So it appears that there are those sharpening their milk teeth in Black insults as a means to validate their false confidence. There are those mixing with Whites to lighten up their skin color of their progenies as a route to their self-esteem. There are also those going around to select all the evil things done by Blacks to falsely tout how evil we are. To these illiterate minions of White supremacy, no Black has done anything good in this world. There is also the educated Black who is an agent of white supremacist notions and the faithful acolyte of the White economic and political interests. There are also those successful Blacks migrating into White communities and behaving as Whites to assert their final becoming.

But we don’t have to do much to demonstrate our humanity as Blacks. All we need to do is to be truly literate: If we regard history as our veritable guide, we will find that there are those that have enslaved others and perpetrated genocide against one another. There are those that have instigated warfare on treasonable or unjustifiable grounds, killed and expended their fellow humans as gun fodder to satiate their ambitions, those that have become traitors to one another, betrayed their words of honor and misled the whole world into extreme cannibalization of one another. If Europe’s wars of self-destruction were to be measured as a standard of the continent’s savagery, where will be their nature as human beings? And is the cruelty of the Russian nation against its own citizens, latterly exemplified by the hundreds of thousands killed in hunger and deprivation……If the cruelty of Stalin were to be completely exposed, how will we view the state of his humanity? How will we characterize the whole nation that became his enablers?

And if the rape of the Japanese against the Chinese before the world wars were to be described, what will we call the Japanese? Or if the destructive actions of communist China were to be viewed in the context of human principles, what shall we call the Chinese?

And what about all these senseless wars fought elsewhere on account of religion and superstition, and the burning at stake of enlightened people and intellectuals on account of their contrarian knowledge and esoteric views? In what categories do we put all these people that perpetrated these atrocities. Beasts or humans? Or part beasts and part human? Or neither beasts nor humans?

And what do we so much describe as human characteristics such that we innocent Blacks who have caused the least amount of harm in this world, will be excluded therefrom? Isn’t humanity about peace, charity, kindness and co-existence? Isn’t it about causing the least harm to your fellow men and treating all people with respect and dignity? Isn’t human civilization about honor, truthfulness, honesty and hospitality and love for one another……good neighborliness and fellow-feeling?

If we put the standard of our humanity and civilization in the cusp of all the foregoing standards, then we Blacks will aptly assume the leadership of the world’s civilization and its humane principles, and insist on our intrinsic worth and contributions to its sanity and quality. All because like in Shakespeare’s King Lear Act 3, Scene 2, we are more sinned against than sinning. But instead, we are busy projecting our own self-doubts and vigorously proclaiming to the world that we are inferior subhumans!

And with this self-confessed abnegation, if not vigorously challenged, will come the eventual defenestration and final extinction of the whole race!
