So now that Obama’s going to win again, let’s take a fresh look at black people in America. Let’s consider a couple amazing facts, which is one that the USA created, bought, sold, and then freed more slaves than any country in the history of humanity. More than the Greeks. More than the Egyptians.  have you ever noticed that bla

Only the Nazi’s had more POWs, and that really is different: there was a war going on. But in terms of peacetime subjugation of other people on an ongoing basis that society sort of accepts, that’s us, or rather US. And it went on for a long time, and though it ended formally in 1865, Jim Crow kicked in in 1873 and lasted until 1955 and in some ways until 1965. In 1963 you would see all over the southern part of this country two different drinking fountains, White and Colored, and you could go to jail or get your head cracked in for drinking from the wrong fountain (that would be black from white, nobody gave a shit the other way around). So that’s part of my lifetime. IF I was a kid down there’ I’d remember it. And kids my age do. So while it’s not quite slavery per se, it’s close, and considering that it’s a full 100 years since slavery was formally shut down in this country, that shows it too k a helluva long time to make any headway whatsoever. And if you are black, it’s a sad story. The statistics don’t lie and they show us that black families sare 40$ poorer than white, x percent less education, x  more likely to sbe a victim of violent crime, grow up in a broken home, not learn how to read and write, or die of a drug overdoses. These are sad numbers.

But meanwhile, at the same time, we have a brown president, and even ore importantly, because this happened well before Obama took office, our culture in a very real and general way, ahs been Africanized. What I mean by this is that while we certainly have been influenced by Asian culture, and Hispanic culture, and all forms of white culture, if you look at the Facebook pictures of the kids, they are striking “black” poses. Money shots, the hands in the ghetto position. Every Asian kid poses like a pimp, and it is not the other way around. You don’t see black kids trying to look like Asians. The kids today, and not just the kids but the pop culture overall, is more than anything else, black. African American. We’ve been Africanized. Just as much as we make them slaves, we now are culturally indentured to this form of servitude. It’s more than ironic. It’s causal. What i want to say is a little radical, but I think it makes sense. Somehow, because they were slaves, we’re now living in their world. Not that it’s guild, but it’s something din hernet as a lw of the universe, it’s more than cosmic payback it’s deeper than that/

Once cannot argue that black people somehow are the coolest people. If you’ve hung out with them, you know, socially they have it down in a way that is just, well, they invented it, cool. And now cool is the most important thing in America, and so the world, so that’s black people running the world again. At least as far as how we talk, gesture, etc. Two generations ago, it was not valued the way it is now to be cool. But cool won. Black people one.

So part of it is this insane irony. Part of it is the crazy coolness of the source culture. And part of it is of course the music and the sports and the sheer superiority of the black man in these pursuits, and how much these pursuits are based on identification, idealization, sthe hive mind, etc.

They are just better, dammit. And that leads into Africanized, and how we don’t want them mating, shy not. Bigger dicks. Tougher. More resistant. Hones, evolutionarily superior. Blend the black and the white, get mostly black. No wonder the insecure, small dicked white people are white supremacists. They can dance. They can fuck. They can blow your mind. They’re real live black people from African now running our country! And not just as president, but as president of rock and roll, or fashion, of cool, of lingo, of sports they wown sports! Music! What would American music be like wo black people. It would suck, that’s what. Now again nothing against the other people, we love you all. But it’s amazing when you see how important African Americans are to Americans. How impoverished we would be without their contricutions. Sdss§ and then when you realize that these are the people we enslaved, that we now worship the people we made slaves, whipped beat killed treated like dogs, that they now are aspirational to the culture, that’s pretty intense. And it even goes deeper than that. The black traffic lady story. Tell it! Here…man courtin gher. Back and forth, you got rights this sense of entitlement is amazing. It’s fucking American! The way she got in his face…you lining up…they owe us! So this is really an amazing culture.

Now meanwhile they are blowing each other away, abandoning each other, crime and shit, but still…

Now to expand it out, the Asians got us in a different way. Cool as the black man is, be ca n  kt make a cell phone. So the black man and the Asian man acting like the black man, do it all on Asian hone. So we’re their slaves that way…next issue…
