The American landscape is starting to horrifically resemble a 1958 black n’ white Godzilla flick...with Black folks filling the lead role of the prehistoric monster come-to-life, and TEA Partying White folks playing to the over-the-top hilt, the victimized role of the Japanese folks...running around in absolute terror as the tyrannical creature is about to devour them, whole.

These fanatical extremist, who’ve crowned themselves “Real Americans,” despite ruthlessly almost “cleansing” this land of the Red Man, the imprisonment of Blacks, the treatment of Latinos and Asians, but yet somehow in a cartoonish, delusional manner, they have the audacity to feign fear - brand Blacks as Neanderthals.

Now if that ain’t that savage calling the barbarian uncivilized...

The only fear Whites have of Blacks is our legitimate and righteous beef; you’ve screwed us, as a people – individually / collectively – in more twisted ways than can be counted...and truthfully, your anger towards us rests in White guys’ n’ gals’ internal feelings of inferiority, not superiority.

Here, permit me to quickly run down the white sheet of events which ought-be weighed and measured in determining the alarming but all-so-predictable level of “extremism” running-rampant throughout the country which can be traced to “WASP Culture,” and not the times we are a’livin’ in.

Let’s commence with Florida’s Republican TEA Party Congressman Allen West and his recent horrific re-creation of the infamous “Red Scare,” with his, let us say, blending of Benedict Arnold and “Crazy Joe” McCarthy into one mindless Frankenstein claiming the “Commie / Pinko bastards” are at the gates. And of course, all the Black Democrats in Congress are card-carrying Communists, have this Uncle Tom tell it.

Tell me Mr. West, what did your GOP “owners” give you for getting your hands dirty, doing the heavy lifting on this one: a car dealership, a 2nd home in Europe?

Now let’s couple West with John Derbyshire’s revealing literary masterpiece, What White parents tell their kids, which did little more for me then solidify in concrete what most Black folks already know: trusting White folks is a calculated risk. Interacting with them, befriending them, doing business with them is always a tricky, dicey endeavour, merely because you know they think like Derbyshire.

Thank you Mr. Derbyshire for letting the better of your vulcan emotions get to you and for slipping, verbalizing the paranoid, angry, insecure White American company lines that so many adhere to, but publicly deny. It vividly explains so much...lends rhyme n’ reason to so much.

What I got out of this overtly racist chunk of junk was: you blame Blacks and other Americans of Color for crying racism, when in fact, your hearts n’ minds are far from bare of biases.

The 15-point “talk” Derbyshire gives his offspring warns of “the hostility many blacks feel toward whites,” implores them to “avoid concentrations of blacks not all known to you personally,” and advises them, “before voting for a black politician, scrutinize his/her character much more carefully than you would a white.” (He defines this last point, “In a pure meritocracy there would be very low proportions of blacks in cognitively demanding jobs.”)

“If you are white or Asian and have kids, you owe it to them to give them some version of the talk. It will save them a lot of time and trouble spent figuring things out for themselves. It may save their lives,” Derbyshire concludes.

Ain’t that a bitch ....?

Next up on the barometer, The American Nazi Party has apparently registered its own lobbyist on Capitol Hill. Ponder that advancement, these folks want to influence prospective clients, civil servants potentially interested in doing business with...the Nazi Party.

The financial backbone behind “the people’s candidate, the White people’s candidate, Rick Santorum, Mr. Foster Friess, the ga-zillionaire who bankrolled a large portion of Santorum’s failed presidential bid, laid this one on the table just recently: he “hopes President Obama’s teleprompter’s are bulletproof.”

Is it me or what, but you’ve got to feel, sense, taste, hear the malice, the disdain festering, percolating out of the millions upon millions of angry White people who constitute this country’s “Right.” It’s not a “new thang,” it’s an “old hang-up” being resurrected.

Somewhere between the fear, abhorrence, disgust, abomination, repugnance, aversion, nausea, repulsion, distaste, odium, revulsion - if not outright blind hatred of Black people - is the deeply-seeded belief Black folks are animals, half-human animals.

Evidently that’s the estimation / guess-timation of what millions upon millions of White folks believe Black folks to be. Nothing more, and perhaps something even less. Or maybe barbarians or cannibals, but nonetheless some form of quasi-literate “savage.” And, being children-for-life emotionally, we stand-on-the-verge of going-on-the-warpath - at the drop-of-a-dime, triggered by a Treyvon Martin verdict we don’t like, or a presidential election with which we don’t concur.

Derbyshire’s devaluation of Blacks, on a whole, more then explains the past, the present and the future of this nation. WEB DuBois had no idea how accurate he was when he stated race, the color-line would be the defining issue of the 20th century. Toss in another century or two for sure.

For race to remain the combustible, volatile issue that is in 2012, clearly there’s an internal debate within White America regarding the status of Black folks: are we fully human? And, whatever their conclusion may be, can they as the White race be willing to “mix n’ mingle” with the little people, the folks formerly and affectionately known as “the help.”

I easily submit that well over half, if not a solid 75% don’t want to interact with other races, based on not desiring to get their hands dirty. And the darker the people, the less many, many, many White Americans want to have to do with them, and that’s the fact.

Weigh n’ measure the facts:

• Circa 1708 - classified as human property - For White folks It was “logical” to enslave Blacks, for we were by our very nature...really not human.

• Circa 1899 - Jim Crow, Black Codes - it was still logical to segregate us, pimp and exploit us...because we were inferior.

• Circa 1964 - Separate and Unequal; it made all the sense in the world to oppose civil rights, human rights for Black folks, so much so we know well over half of the US White population half-heartedly wanted to integrate, and have since made half-assed efforts to incorporate Black folks into mainstream US society.

• Circa 1984 - Ronald “666” Raygun, the grandfather of today’s White backlash, opposses an MLK national Holiday; the Civil Rights martyr was a Communist, and he opposed South African Apartheid.

To the point that here we are, circa 2012...and the question on the table is, in the face of urban riots: “will it be practical, logical to intern us,” as the Japanese were in WWII - place us all on “Reservations,”yet another novel, practical logical calculation carried out against a minority group, or just start shooting us on the street like stray dogs, like what we just witnessed in Tulsa.

Gee, 3 out of every 4 White guys in America claims to be pissed off at or afraid of Black folks, particularly men, and the gun n’ ammo sales illustrate just that.

As I’ve tried to state all-along the way; the bulk of White America is isolated n’ insulated deliberately, strategically, for they’ve a vast array of issues and concerns when it comes to Black people - they’re not sure we’re human.

We’d better not ever forget that. We’d better start remembering it.
