He's not actually advocating for the NOI's mythology. The problem with what he's saying is the fact that such topics are both mainstream within the black community and are commonly found in mainstream media made by black entertainers, particularly in hip hop music.

What I really think he's trying to do with those tweets is defend the ongoing discourse of different types of afrocentric lunacy that is occurring within the black community today. He very well knows that actually debating these ideas in intellectual or professional settings wouldn't go very well for their exponents, but he finds these ideas useful for whatever reason, and because of that, he would like them to persist.
I bringing these ideas up he can both advocate for the suppression of white supremacist discourse while shielding the black supremacist discourse that is commonplace in our society and regularly expressed in mainstream media.

its truly a pity. since they don't have anything besides how contemptable and pitiable they are. and pity can only go so far before it becomes patronizing and hollow in itself. but its literally all they have. I guess they have food. But even that is downstream of some southern fair. Its not even that they were a defeated and once great people, or even a people. they were a bought motley group of produce from various places in Africa brought to till the land cheaper than an indentured servant. Dont even have the pride of the Hatians who can say they fought and gained their polity, no longer requiring pity as an identity, but actual pride. American Blackness can exist only in two forms: as a plain American, or as a specter of resentment and an object of pity.

Maybe if the Harlem hellfighters were a larger thing this could have been a point of pride, or if there was like a black state.

...yes, but you have to understand the mental, psychological progression there. they didnt even free themselves, they where freed when public opinion and politics deemed it to be so. and at that point, they really werent an integrated people. the non anglo euros had an idea how things worked, hell, even muslim arabs probably or maybe even those from a sub Saharan nation would have integrated better. But the afro slaves werent a people group really, they were a slave society like the mamaluks, but the mamaluks had actual power and developed a refinement and culture rather than just a dispersed property. Once the American blacks got there freedom, what then? most were individualized rural farmers use to little to no real macro agency. At that point they where just a nation without even a real sense of nation beyond the fact that they were of low shared social rank and of no real accolade or pride of being. even their freedom was given to them. then they essentially acted very little different from there slave past as they were mostly rural farmers for actually established white land owners and white skilled labor. they didnt have the basque pride of being at whalers, or the Texan pride of staking their soil with steal and self sufficiency. Essentially still being slaves in all but name. then when cities needed workers, you got droves of people who are not much different from their slave ancestors in mentality without principle or character or social standing or skill or anything for merit coming into the centers of society and actively being citizens de facto rather than just de jure with no real transitionary period(reconstruction like I mentioned basically doing nil).

I think it has more to do with they way they see themselves as righteous. They don't fail because they are intellectually inferior to their enemies, but they do because they are so morally superior to them that they would never resort to the underhanded tactics regularly used by them.
The problem with the kind of criticism you're doing (anyone whose hung up on psychoanalyzing people like you do is always going to be misguided) is that you're dealing with people who understand weakness and strength differently than you do and are often viewing social relationships in terms of good and evil rather than just strong and weak, even if strength is a component of it.

>>20103240
I think your point is fair enough about rural populations, but once black populations moved to the city/had access to better education from middle class blacks there were a lot of movements for the sole purpose of developing that unified sense of identity. Like the cultures of Harlem, Atlanta, and, to a lesser extent, even the south had pockets of blacks looking for a unified identity and often finding one. Slavery is a big part of black identity, no doubt, but not the sole unifying force or identity.

Before the drug war etc, Black americans also had pretty strong communities, families were together, and they were forming groups for the soul purpose of self identity, for pro racial reasons of course but still. It's the same thing pre 40s. Black authors were writing for white audiences because they knew that Black Americans already understood the material, innately. Even to this day most whites can't comprehend something simple like the difference between ethnicity and race.

Psychology was stunted obviously but the way you type implies it stagnated entire, which isn't true. Black understanding of these issues has transformed since slavery, most whites have the same fundamental "understanding" of black psychology and race ideas that they did in 1900

yes, and my point was that a large part of the actual black sources speak to this waywardness of belonging and identity. like listening to those post slavery recording or journals. Or hell, whats it called, a Raisin in the Sun. Im saying that The anglo could and did often point to some founding father or American ideal as their ideal, or something to live up to. Im not necessarily talking about high falutent philosophical bases, but one of self establishment and esteem. I think MLK and to a lesser extent Malcom X were the only really big figures to offer a sense of respectability, but in the latters case, his whole life story is about this identification, and the former started to build something that disintegrated.

>> No.20103376

>Even to this day most whites can't comprehend something simple like the difference between ethnicity and race.
I would apply that to blacks as well. Its probably because in America there two kind of developed very closely at the hip. In Early America there were esentially 4 groups: Anglos, White others (germans, dutch, a few irish), Black Slaves, and Natives. That later cataogory on occassion became slaves as well, but not en mass. So for Blacks, race and ethnicity where pretty clossely tied as a particular social class.

>> No.20103382

The way I would frame it is that Blacks have the figures, but lack of education/familial structure stops them from actually engaging with those figures. I think it's improving, especially among college age blacks but I agree that most don't "have" a black ideal. But they easily could if they learned more of their history. Shit even Frederick Douglass is a great one. He wrote a "slave narrative" in technicality only. The real purpose was to make himself famous and seem elevated above the rest of the slaves/manipulate white female readers to promote abolition.

yah, but a lot of societies don't NEED traditional education to get there it doesnt need to be constructed. And I am saying it is now nearly impossible to make a "black Ideal" in the current societal climate without innate paradoxes. What separates it from the American ideal? why does it need to be separate? if it is separate, will it always be a reactionary identity in contrast to wider America? does blackness require a degree of victimhood to be blackness?

I think some kind of synthesis would be necessary for it to not be myopic and LARPish. Which I feel was kinda happening in the 90-2000s. but then the myopia train started chugging again in the 2010s.

idk, like I said before, if im being honest most writings about blackness has only every made me feel pity, or pity mascaraing as respect, rather than respect like one might have for the japanese or french, or like I mentioned before, the Hatians.

I didn't think I would like pic related, but I did. I found it to be a surprisingly lyrical, poignant memoir of growing up in "the hood". It grapples with the complexity of being black without devolving into the mantra of "black people good, white people bad".

What other black authors are good? I'm looking for works of fiction, specifically.

It's a hallmark of fascist thought. You need a reason to strip the people of their rights and freedoms. So you give them a common enemy. The enemy has to be strong enough to require people to band together, strong enough to necessitate these extreme totalitarian measures, but weak enough to give the promise and hope of victory if the totalitarian measures are enacted.

>Born in the Liberian capital of Monrovia to a Krahn family, Blahyi was handed by his father to several tribal elders who initiated him as a high priest in 1982 at the age of eleven. After Liberian military officer Samuel K. Doe staged a coup d'état against President William Tolbert in 1980, the new regime employed Blahyi to perform black magic rituals at the presidential palace to help him win the 1985 general election.

>During the conflict, Blahyi became a warlord, lead a unit of several dozen combatants (consisting primarily of child soldiers) known as the Naked Base Commandos and operated primarily in Monrovia. The unit, including Blahyi himself, frequently wore no clothing except for shoes and magic charms, earning Blahyi the nom de guerre 'General Butt Naked'. Blahyi claimed that this practice made him and his soldiers "immune to bullets." During the conflict, Blahyi's forces perpetrated numerous atrocities, including cannibalism and human sacrifice.

>Blahyi also made his soldiers consume psychoactive drugs in order to make them more alert and willing to follow Blahyi's orders. He would later recall that whenever the Naked Base Commandos captured a town, he "had to make a human sacrifice. They bring to me a living child that I slaughter and take the heart out to eat it." The rival militias, including the Naked Base Commandos, frequently fought with each other over control over Liberia's lucrative diamond fields and gold mines, and Blahyi traded gold and diamonds with Mexican drug cartels for weapons and cocaine

>I was just reading some posts from his former students, and I cannot believe this guy wasn't let go sooner. Apparently the "rare form of learning" he says he was "lynched" for at UCLA was horrible. Puts his whole "I was fired for nothing, because they don't like black people" rant at the end into perspective. He sent them his own porn, had them watch his misogynistic crazy Youtube videos ranting about killing feminists, sent pictures of UCLA cheerleaders to the women in the class, etc. He made students write 25 page papers about why Hitler targeted the Jews (that he later used in his antisemitic comments), things that had nothing to do with the class, and they were so worried about their GPAs that some of them did it. One former student wrote that a classmate's grade was changed 43 times after the class ended, and wrote that their own was changed 3 times. Excerpt:
"He assigned us to write a 21-25 page final on the “racialization of Jews” in Mein Kampf.
He also emailed us links to his Youtube channel which had videos with titles such as “Kill a Feminist for Islam”, “Beat a Feminist Unconscious”, “Soft Ethnocide”, many of which had very disturbing thumbnails, such as underage girls sticking out their tongues or photos of Ucla Volleyball girls. I took a picture of my laptop when he linked it. The channel was deleted within minutes after. He also linked to his own porn.
And he mentions his porn and sexual fantasies frequently in the last few books of his manifesto which he emailed to me and around 60 others (nearly all of whom, based on the names, are also women). The manifesto is incredibly violent and graphic. I received 7 emails in total. One which said, “sum of u liked the porn.. NA my uncensored lectures are here on jewtube”, to which he provided a link.
His assignments last spring were a LOT. We were expected to write 5-8 pages per week. And many of the assignments seemed incongruent to the aims of the class. In the span of the quarter, I wrote over 65 pages for him (including extra credit).
Reading my final paper now gives me a stomach ache. I wrote about Hitler’s negative racialization of Jews and it’s harmful impacts. Now it’s clear he just read these papers as fodder for his anti-Semitic views."
