Why Are You Concerned About Black America:
|
Posted By: Maryanne Campbell on April 23, 2010 Why Are You Concerned About Black America: I am concerned about black America because I still feel we have not evolved holistically, spiritually and psychologically as a people since our shipment to America. I feel the norms, belief systems, values, and our whole way of life has been misshapen by slavery. Everything that came from that **** guise and experience is still being passed down to future black American generations, all the way down to our thought processes. We are still victims, not only by the hands of society, but by our own hands as well. This, the affects of slavery, and slavery in and of itself, that whole vile institution, is the very reason the problems that exist today amongst black America, are still manifest today. Take Ebonics, as it is called, or black English, for example and ask yourself how it is it evolved and how it still exists today. When you have poor Anglo-American or Caucasian **** owners from the south, referred to as “white trash” or “red-necks” in the heinous, **** sense, who are the example for which black slaves learn English, and that same broken English is passed down from generation to generation, as we are first taught to speak from our parents, who were taught by their parents, is it any wonder? The fact that a good majority of black women perm their hair, wear weaves or wigs to adopt the western civilization’s standard of beauty, to fit it, to gain acceptance, to adapt or assimilate further into American culture stems from the same sentiment since slavery of which our pigmentation and physical features were denounced, our hair was ****, our noses were too broad and over pronounced, our gluteus maximus too big, etc., etc… non-acceptance of self… The reason why the statistic that 70% of black women are single, stems from the same, as manifested in the “Willie Lynch Letter: The Making of a ****”, specifically: “The Breaking Process of the African Woman” and “The Negro Marriage”. Check out: http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/Pe... “Continually through the breaking of uncivilized savage niggers, by throwing the **** female savage into a frozen psychological state of independence, by killing the protective male image, and by creating a submissive dependent mind of the **** male ****, we have created an orbiting cycle that turns on its own axis forever, unless a phenomenon occurs and re-shifts the position of the male and female slaves.” The reason black men are victims of the **** abuses of this society, ranging from wrongful imprisonment, police ****, racial profiling, racial discrimination in the workforce, the highest **** and death rates, etc., etc. is personified and permeated by the same… Slavery, Slavery… The effects of slavery… Is it possible to move forward, to abolish not only the shackles of slavery, not just to freedom, not just to prestige, acclaim and equal rights and opportunities, but to finally denounce the psychological shackles and after effects of the institution of slavery, or is there no possibility of healing from that…? My concern for black America is that we still have the **** mentality and that we will pass it to our children’s children like a virus continually, “unless a phenomenon occurs” as Willie Lynch put it. It’s subconscious, subliminal, a psychological disorder that has been wired within us for over 300 years… will it take 300 years to reach sanity, to be mentally sound and complete and whole again? We all need to be concerned, to acknowledge it, to accept it, to own it, so we can resolve this plague, this virus, this mentality, and heal in order to evolve. Fulfilling Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream, accomplishing extraordinary feats or milestones, such as an African-American President, is not nearly enough… we need to change the psychological states of our minds as a people… That is my concern for black America.

Maryanne, You said "“Continually through the breaking of uncivilized savage *****s, by throwing the ***** female savage into a frozen psychological state of independence, by killing the protective male image, and by creating a submissive dependent mind of the ***** male slave, we have created an orbiting cycle that turns on its own axis forever, unless a phenomenon occurs and re-shifts the position of the male and female slaves.” This is not in the best interest of the white authority in America and thus, they will do everything they can do to prevent this from happening. Even to the extent of keeping the prisons filled with black American male and building more prisons, avoiding the building of more schools. Therefore, the black American male must become new strategists and planners. In the mean time, the black American female must adjust to a snake in a new suit, that smiles and shakes her hand. This is the new white slavemaster that seeks to foil the black race with a talk of equality but with a show of continued oppression. Saturday, April 24th 2010 at 12:19AM |

Maryanne Campbell, Excellent Writing; It seems that a people so affected by kidnap, slavery and distruction must first SEE that they have a 'somewhat' bad 2010 situation. If they do not see that then their lives are OK. I would add though that the African Nations; that lost some of its People from 1492 to America had a nonEuropeanNegroist STRUCTURE. The African Continents History is a long History and if 2010 Americans of slaveHistory felt not wanted, or not needed they surely can look, if they desire, to a nonEuropeanChristian Structure of their ancestrial lands. If they like it then the men and women can continue and enjoy their christianNegro History. American is a Free nation and people vote 'with their feet'--as Ronald Reagan said. I though would think that 2010 America under the Leadership of President Baraka Hussein Obama is the Greatest Time and place in the History of America...... Saturday, April 24th 2010 at 4:43PM |

What is the history of the man behind the speech, like every plantation owner he knew the power of the female over the male. He probably had a controlling wife that he wanted to make feel like a queen in her own private castle. We have all heard the saying that behind every famous man is his woman. Black men should not feel inferior to Black women because if you take a closer look behind the White man you'll find his woman still in control.

I couldn't agree with you more Maryanne regarding the continual passing down of the "slave mentality" to the younger generations by our people. It is my hope that we will stop enslaving ourselves with our "stinking thinking" & become what we have the potential to become if we focus our time, attention, and resources on improving ourselves and our families.

I heard a friend of mines say this once, and I shall always remember it..."The only two who have ever been free in America is the white man and the Black woman. (smile) and, as for me, "I" choose to call the African-American a race- a UNIQUE RACE. (smile) Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM |
