“In
all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the
fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual
progress.”
Booker
T. Washington
Speech
to the Atlanta Cotton States and International Exposition
Atlanta,
Georgia - October 18, 1895
Uncle
Tim, Uncle Ben, Uncle Burgess, and good ol’ Uncle Clarence -
all official, certified Uncle Toms, endlessly verbalizing and
amplifying this same old butt-kissin' line over a century later,
without and void-of the
3-tier Star Trek chess strategy
the original author, and empathic Booker T. Washington harbored for
his people.
These
“Make America White Again” Toms aren't empathetic or
sympathetic to the torturous plight of their people...instead I’d
argue they’re merely “in it to win it.”
I’m
sorry, I do very well understand the term “Uncle Tom'' to be
belittling, insulting and derogatory. Them is
fightin
words on most playgrounds, in most sports bars, coffee shops,
barbershops and hair salons - rightfully-so, but all I can say is, if
the tap-shoes, white gloves and top-hats fit boy… If millions
of other Aro-Americans define and describe you as a "Sellout"
then perhaps, just maybe you are a sellout.
However,
what makes their 21st-century "Tomming" so egregious? The
160-year cold civil war is obviously heating up. With Obama came the
end of an extremely privileged way of life as WASP America knew it.
The
sky was falling.
Hence Trump's reign of terror, and now his enduring popularity
amongst the rank n’ file, those loud n’ proud
self-proclaimed neo-confederate “Red-Necks” who’re
at a lynch mob fervor… and these negro political pawns, if not
male prostitutes decide to aid
an albeit the
...opposition? The oppressors? Our former masters? C’mon baby,
I’m just telling’ the truth, straight,
no chaser.
African
American history is riddled and littered with "sellouts" -
am I lying? No! Hell, no I'm not lying, "loose lips" sink
ships...no, I'm not going to go down the long list of those who
betrayed Nat Turner, John Brown, Malcolm X, Dr. King, the Panthers -
Bunchy Carter, Fred Hampton, Huey, Eldridge. Bobby, Elaine and Ms.
Angela Davis, i.e., betrayed the best interest of their people, here
in a hostile land. Look, if we're not engaged in a "cold war"
with our European oppressors, we are at actual war… see Watts
65' and 92,' Tulsa 20, Chicago and Detroit 68.
However,
what I am going to be “sharp and’ blunt” about is;
this done in detriment to the wellbeing of Black folk these men are
contributing to by allowing themselves to be pimped, played and used
by a political party and movement who’d like to put Black folks
back in segregated schools, hospitals, back in the last few rows of
the bus, back of the plane… And these are the fools who allow
themselves, for a price to be employed as
camouflage,
to be used as a masking device to deter and deflect legitimate
criticism of a racist white backlash which is attempting to drag this
decadent empire back, back...back to the golden era of good Ol boys
n’ gals. Human cloaking devices.
And
these step-in n’ fetch-it clowns are both
willing
and wanting
to assist them... for a price of course. They will exploit, they will
pimp
Black America’s pain and suffering for personal profits.
Pimpin’
aint easy...nor is it moral, ethical, upstanding nor noble.
Need
we look any further than the “token” Supreme, Uncle
Clarence, a hand-puppet who got a gig for
life,
and... they threw in a White wife, a neo-Confederate-minded
white woman who personifies the adage “beauty is in the eye of
the beholder…” Thomas must be her slave, sex
slave... nonetheless her slave.
Sorry - I’ve little, to virtually no respect for a cat who
knowingly enables grand pooh-bah Donald Trump to muster the troops,
the
militia,
the
Proud Boys and
Oath
Keepers.
Yep, check it - that's precisely and exactly who these useful idiots
are helping… good lord!
Let's
get critical and historical for a moment:
Booker T. Washington,
long regarded as an accommodationist
extremist
who pacified and placated White America with his Atlanta
Compromise concept.
In one sentence Washington summarized his/their concept of race
relations appropriate for the times: "In all things that are
purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the
hand in all things essential to mutual progress." Well, gee
let's be real, that America of 1895 - that very same White America,
Trump's America, today after a century-plus of … what,
pretending they've had an enlightenment and begrudging reconsidered
their blind hatred, accepted Black folks and other people of color
are human? Well, they today want to embrace and bring to life Booker
T's notion of separate and equal.
By
just about everyone's measure, we're living in a combustible,
flammable moment, the racial cold war is heating up. This is an odd
time and place in which former Vice President Dick Cheney's Little
girl Liz, and aristocratic Mormon Senator Mitt Romney are considered,
by Trump's cult, to be moderates, RHINOS. No wait, dig this they're
"Nigger lovers" in the eyes o Trumps' troops. While in this
same insane moment these Step n' fetch-it minstrels are doing a
little "coon- jig" for Mister Charlie? What they're doing
along with Darrell Scott and Candence Owens is despicable and
trifling.
Most,
not all
but clearly more than 50% of White folks want America to be “in
all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the
fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual
progress.”
Yes, this is the good Ol America most of mainstream WASP America
longs for.
I
don’t believe Black folks and our songs of Kumbaya
can change their hearts and minds, and matter-of-factly, I think, as
a people, we are "sick n' tired of being sick n' tired" of
trying to help a people, an All-American
culture which does not want to change, evolve, and mature, but
instead likes being racist, sexist and elitist, phobic of all who
aren’t
Conservative, straight,
Christain male and white. (Not in that order.)
I’ve
got to ask: Good Lord... Where have all the good White folks gone?
Thank
the Gods, all of them, for these House-Negros represent but a small,
simple-minded segment of Black America, who would, if the price
was right...
they’d put their momma on da’ corner. They allow Ted Cruz
to rub their heads, slap their asses and call them “Rastus”-
still they want to be his boy..
I
suggest we pull their “Official”
ceremonial
“Black Man Union” Identification license and
passport cards for life… state and national. I’m
serious... as Covid.
I’m
done with Toms...!
These
men ought not be accepted into any traditionally Black environment,
from church to family dinners they should be unwelcome and unwanted,
they should be "Whitelisted" - branded, banned, eternally
barred from participating with Afro-Americans.
Why?
Because
apparently and obviously they could give a … about us. They
may be my color, but they're not my kind.
