Over the course of history, the white man has had nothing in mind but to impose an image that he is superior, of course with the goal of extracting and hogging as much of the wealth. This be in the suppression of a people or in the feigned help of the very same people he in the first place meted the worst form of oppression. Reading through “Leopold’s ghost”(He was never a king to start of with but just a ruthless and calculating rapist like those on whose behalf he undertook his mandate) and the other innumerable material detailing this crusade of the white man to set himself up as the god-sent messiah-esque race, only a man removed from a sense of their worth will willingly be duped into thinking there are other agendas, e.g. humanitarianism , to which the white man responds to.
Even in portraying benevolence, the premises from which he operates, is not one found in altruism but a subtle form of narcissism. The white man is beyond a shadow of doubt, as his society has wrought it in his subconscious, geared to think first of himself. To the question of racism, he responds by attempting to calm down those whom this evil preys on. To poverty, which he is responsible for, he gives – not help extricate – only to keep the NEEDY perpetually looking up to him as the provider.
For time immemorial, this has always among the other diabolical schemes been a manner in which the natives or the oppressed have been cajoled into believing and accepting that the white harbours any goodwill towards them. To state this fact about white people, blacks/oppressed will quickly lament whomsoever does so for “generalizing”. Generally however, this illustrates one of the sicknesses that have been etched into our thinking. Too many a time, we put the white man first, we apologize on his behalf; we feel it our vocation to justify what he has done and continues to do despite the fact that although things have changed, they remain the same if not worse.
We oft times gratify in holding hands with the very same people who benefit from what we continue to suffer from in a mass hypnosis punted as a progressive society. It should not be a shock to see that, the thinly veiled lie is centred around the often made remark that seeks for black/oppressed to hasten their healing process. Of course there is nothing shocking for white people to express these idiotic sentiments, they are white and they would like some peace while enjoying their ill-gotten wealth. That it is soaked in the blood and severed hands and heads and nourished by rivers that overflow crying souls of an enslaved people, theirs is not to see this but to lull the very same people who were and are on the receiving end to forget it all. Privilege after all is that violently blinding, though it be thus willed by those it serves!
The liberal ideology to which a many (mis)educated sons of and daughters of the land subscribes to, which is the worst of lies ever, a fake reality if you will, is at the centre of reining the masses towards this utopia of an integrated society.
Integrated how when the prerequisite is to be white? If you’ve to think white first to matter and you actually succumb to such a demand, at least confess the cowardice and not try to justify it
To the extent that blacks are not willing to have some courage to first and foremost be black, to the extent that we are busy looking for sweet empty nothings being sung to lull us to sleep, there will forever be white allies.
White allies were there during the struggle of the people, in the form of missionaries, humanitarians and whatever other names they went under, their primary vocation was never to see justice served but the oppressed, downtrodden and ostracised accept this manmade order of things; to seduce the people into enjoying the rape of their existence. To date, this remains the modus operandi hence, when you think black and talk black, you are no longer accepted into the fake integration circles.
It behoves us as a black people to have some sense to start of with and start thinking in selfish terms. Ubuntu is good only to the extent that it is reciprocated, seeing however that this is not the case and it is used as an opiate and a weapon for that matter, it ought to be exercised only with those who return it in kind.
Black people get gunned down and white allies talk about praying and how “WE” are all affected by these tragedies, expressing themselves to black, why? (Read above about missionaries and ‘em). There is no WE, and this is not nor should it be what black people fight for. The only WE that makes sense is “WE BLACKS”. The man has for long expressed his contempt for us that we are disgracing ourselves chasing for his acceptance as though it will root out the real causes of our circumstances. This is because, above all, we put him first. We think first in terms of the white man hence it is easier for him to appease us with his allyship.
The white man can go and cunningly manoeuvre us into focusing on some other centrifugal issue like poverty because he’s inserted himself and made himself the solution to the problems he created because, we allowed his allyship. It’s easy, or we make it easy for him to distract us with his empty words like that has ever achieved anything worthwhile besides silencing us and letting him carry on as before
The white disease that we blacks suffer from was, is and might forever be the reason why we may never know freedom. White allyship is not greater than black allegiance. If we don’t put ourselves first no one will
