If you think about it, didn't slavery make this sort of inevitable? Blacks have always been the great Other of American society. Baldwin talks about this, right? That whiteness is primarily defined in contrast with blackness. Black is the Other; black is exotic, different, unique. It makes sense that as those have become attractive qualities in Liberal society in the West, that American blacks would come to have the cultural cachet that they do. And of course, where the culture goes, the money follows.

I've never read Baldwin, so I can't answer that.
Everything else you said is essentially correct, reminds me of afro-pessimism.
>>12739938 Check out the works of Frank B. Wilderson III.

Says the Black Body is an ontological condition. Not in the Heideggerian sense of Dasein, but a social formation in which Being is determined by the system which produces it. Blackness is the condition of a body labelled as inhuman, uncivilized, etc. and is the figure by which Civil Society (=Whiteness) is defined against. The opposition of Civil Society being everything which is not the Black Body is the way racism perpetuates itself in the staus quo, and comes from a long tradition of slavery.

Slavery never "authentically ended", rather it has continually manifested itself in different ways. All blacks have Black Bodies as a result of the Middle Passage. Slaves entered boats as Africans and left as Blacks - there was a complete separation from their culture, heritage, and everything they had grown accustomed to. In that sense, the Black Body (the Westernized ex-slave) has no civil society because "Civil Society" is literally the society that is defined against the slave. Civil society requires the Black Body to exist as a form of juxtaposition, otherwise there is no means to define what a civil society is.

Things like the Civil Rights Act and Jim Crow were all broader political events, articulations of hope and futurism that serve to mask gratuitous violence. The Negro has been a commodity since the Trans-Atalantic slave trade began.

I'm going to be straight here. I am a cuckold, but I am also a white nationalist. I believe that whites have contributed more to humanity than any other race, space travel, anti—biotics the list goes on. But when it comes down to it, blacks are just better at fucking. Theres no shame in admitting this. There is no shame in admitting that despite the infinite intellectual and moral superiority of the white race, black cock is just better at pleasing women.

The reason white women are turning from the cause and running to niggers is simply because they are not being sexually satisfied. Can you blame them? If you dont get enough to eat at home youre going to go out to eat. The only way to save the white race from miscegenation is cuckolding. My pure white wife is my angel, the apple of my eye. And I want nothing but the best for her. So every friday she gets to have her fill of big black cock. And our relationship goes on like normal. We love each other, and plan on having a child soon. She also shares my red pilled beliefs.

Monogamy is a tool of the jew. Just give it a chance once. Its exhilarating. Theres something deeply majestic about watching a toned muscular black stud going in and out of a beautiful white woman. Try it once.

The quote you lookin for is:
>Another thing that struck me [in the American] was the great influence of the Negro, a psychological influence naturally, not due to the mixing of blood. The emotional way an American expresses himself, especially the way he laughs, can best be studied in the illustrated supplements of the American papers; the inimitable Teddy Roosevelt laugh is found in its primordial form in the American Negro. The peculiar walk with loose joints, or the swinging of the hips so frequently observed in Americans, also comes from the Negro.[3] American music draws its main inspiration from the Negro, and so does the dance. The expression of religious feeling, the revival meetings, the Holy Rollers and other abnormalities are strongly influenced by the Negro. The vivacity of the average American, which shows itself not only at baseball games but quite particularly in his extraordinary love of talking – the ceaseless gabble of American papers is an eloquent example of this – is scarcely to be derived from his Germanic forefathers, but is far more like the chattering of a Negro village. The almost total lack of privacy and the all-devouring mass sociability remind one of primitive life in open huts, where there is complete identity with all members of the tribe.

There are two forces pushing for the liquidation of all traditional notions of identity: global capitalism, for which these are impediments to establishing NWO; and technocracy-as-morality, which we've replaced God with. The former wants a universalized mutt population so that there won't be opposition to the elimination of nations and borders, and the latter is an evangelical belief that this is both morally good and rational (the same thing) because it will theoretically minimize conflict (irrational, inefficient, morally bad).

The mechanism by which traditional notions of identity are deconstructed in the population at large is humiliation of those who try to defend them. If you don't like homosexuality it is because you lust for the cock; if you don't like black people / blackness it is because you fear the BBC; if you don't like women / femininity it is because you are a beta, and so on. The figure of the "angry white male" and related caricatures like "the man who gets really irrationally mad at gays" and "the woman-hating misogynist" are pre-loaded into everyone's mind so that you a priori know, whenever someone speaks up, that all opposition to progressive universalism is just projected insecurity and they can be safely dismissed.

This is why this thread is the way it is and why /pol/ is the way it is. The first few posts are taking the question seriously, but as soon as someone got a whiff of /pol/ >>12740582 , the very next post was umadytboi, followed by the same circular discussion of "/pol/" trying to rationally disprove their fear of the BBC (i.e., the white male making the posts trying to rationalize their projection of their personal insecurity in the form of racism) while "reddit" (or "leftypol" or "Chapo" or "discord trannies") bait them with cuckposting (demonstrating their own self-confidence and lack of insecurity by understanding that opposition to progressive universalism is nonsense for losers, which they are not).

What about me, then? I'm against black culture mainly because of how stupid they are and the fact that they are typically much dumber and refuse to bring themselves to a higher level. For black people it's always someone else's fault, never their own due to their own fuck ups or lack of mental capacity.

This is what always annoys me. White dude's are typically okay with saying that Asian's are smarter and blacks have bigger dicks, but the second you say blacks are dumber and Asian's have smaller dicks everyone gets mad and screams racism. Blacks are happy when you say they're more athletic, but again, the second you say they're dumber its all racism. It appears to me that black people are more fragile than any other group out there. Of course there are exceptions, but media always tells us to expect the exception rather than treating the exception for what it is.

Why do black people have this bizarre narcissism going on?

Black people are like a distant curiosity. It's funny to watch them do things, or hear their new vocabulary, or see whatever silly hijinks they're up to next with their shitty music. But it's nothing that should be taken seriously. It's not like they have any brilliant philosophers giving society a unique perspective to the objective world or anything like that. They rarely create anything "beautiful" either, besides maybe a few of their "smooth jazz" songs here and there. But even that isn't quite "beautiful", it's just sort of charming.

They're like monkeys at the zoo. But every black person I know has a different theory for how they're REALLY at the center of it all. I even have a "Black Israelite" friend, and she'll do all kinds of psycho mental gymnastics to explain how African Americans are really God's chosen tribe and in the future they're going to rise up! And the Egyptian kings were African! And the GREEKS were African! And the native americans were mostly African too!

Seriously. I honestly just think that black people tend to be immoral. Not all of them, but the absolutely delusional narcissism can only be described as some sort of immoral Zeitgeist that they're all plugged into at the same time.

Fuck. Imagine the United States with no obnoxious nasty loud minority groups shitting up everything constantly. White people have problems but holy fuck at least they can manage to be kind of peaceful/quiet sometimes.

Its not even specific to blacks except in their modern proximity to Americans. White people always just had a curiosity about the other that other duller people can't understand. They can't intellectually process the desire to learn and experience other culture just for the sake of it, so they view it only through the reasons that would motivate them- desire or envy.

When you say blacks are better at athletics that's racism too, you know. Sure, they're happy because it's praise and they can tribally associate with it and be proud of it (pride in accomplishments you have absolutely no part in is stupid but that transcends [race]). It's still racist.

But yet only the positive is accepted while the negative is vilified. There are differences between races yet no one wants to acknowledge them. One prime example is how easy white people get skin cancer in southern climates, while black people typically suffer from vitamin d deficiency in northern climates. Or how about black get sickle cell, or how organ donations from a person of a different race are more easily rejected. Why do we have such a hard time accepting differences between groups when so many scientists try to bend backwards and say no differences exist at all?
