Why Racists Gave Viola Davis An Emmy #HTGAWM

Emmy-winning Viola Davis cantbreathe

Viola Davis is a superb illustration of the labor required for #BlackSelfRespect. White Terrorism saturates her life, mandates that “classic beauty” be anything but black. She testifies to unrelenting abuse in the 2011 documentary Dark Girls, remembering how she was “constantly being called ‘black ugly nigger’ — those words together.” 

This spiritual molestation is common for black people around the globe and helps explain the vicarious adulation so many black females experienced when Davis became the first African American female to win an Emmy for her lead role in the ABC drama How To Get Away With Murder. Danielle Moodie-Mills writes that during Davis’ moment of unprecedented accomplishment, “She stood on that stage, fierce, beautiful and firm in her blackness and womaness.” She paid homage to “General” Harriet Tubman as “she called out racism and challenged a system that refuses to see black women as whole.” 

Davis and HTGAWM executive producer Shonda Rhimes are lauded for subverting racist projections of black people and producing opportunities for black actresses to be broadcast as commanding, professional, and valued. 

But even though HTGAWM is a ShondaLand production, Rhimes did not write or create this series. Those credits belong to a gay White man, Peter Nowalk. He praises Rhimes as his guru and gushes about the lessons learned from years collaborating on her other lucrative franchises, Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal. There’s widespread gratitude for Nowalk devising the character Annalise Keating that allowed Julliard-trained Davis to make history. 

Yet her unparalleled triumph felt familiar. 

Davis’ victory seemed an encore of Denzel Washington and Halle Berry palming 2002 Oscars for exemplary portrayals of black hooliganism and debauchery. Nowalk repackages and camouflages worn-out Racist concepts of blacks toiling to help whitefolks and presents profoundly anti-black moments in the limited scenes when Davis is sans wig, unadulterated black. At its lowest, black female sexuality is – as usual – cast as malignant and scandalous. 

One of Davis’ signature works is her 2011 Oscar-nominated portrayal of The Help’s Aibileen Clark, a servant for a White Supremacist family in 1960’s Mississippi. In spite of the film’s success, Davis candidly observes another constant: “I have been given a lot of roles that are downtrodden, mammy-ish… Then you’re going to be hungry for your next role, which is going to be absolutely the same. That’s the truth.” Nowalk’s debut project was “her shot at the anti-mammy,” according to GQ contributor Amy Wallace. Annalise Keating represents “a flinty, stylish defense lawyer and law professor,” and a scarce opening to animate a black female character as “cerebral and alluring… with a handsome husband and a lover on the side.” Ostensibly, Nowalk unshackled Davis from a racist industry, that, according to Kirsten West Savali, “pathologizes, reduces and co-opts blackness at every turn, especially black womanhood.” 

But Annalise’s time and energy is almost exclusively in service to Whites. She’s an attorney extraordinaire with blouses worth more than Aibileen’s house. Other than one humdinger of an exception, black people are not privy to her counsel. Whites are the sole beneficiaries of her legal acumen, and the bulk of her customers aren’t even “good” Whitefolks. She successfully, ruthlessly defends White drug traffickers, alleged White sex offenders, admitted and suspected White killers. Her clientele is a smorgasbord of white-on-white crime. Mimicking Hattie McDaniel’s venerated contribution to Gone With The Wind, Annalise has no children and devotes the bulk of her time to the maintenance of unscrupulous white lives. 

Now, about that humdinger. 

The show’s sixth episode is the lone outlier, the only time Nowalk’s lead character devotes her energies to aiding black people. Keating successfully liberates a death row inmate (David Allen) who had been wrongly caged for decades. Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya digests the plot of the episode and why it signifies vintage ShondaLand entertainment: 

“A white senator used Allen as a pawn to gain political power and gentrify an inner-city [black] area for financial gain. Annalise loudly condemns the racialized nature of the Senator’s scheme in one of the best Viola Davis moments in an episode full of spot-on Davis moments (seriously, this is going to be her Emmy reel episode, right?).” 

Unfortunately, Racists don’t permit black people to enjoy a full glass. They must kick it over. Before one can appreciate a primetime drama with the courage to indict a White man for the deliberate caging of black bodies, we’re reminded that Annalise is still primarily concerned with the well being of whitefolks. Her white husband specifically. 

Her lying, adulterous, womanizing, murderous, “handsome,” White husband. 

Following her courtroom conquest, she jettisons her makeup and straight hair - props to imply strength. She confesses that she’s been lying, planting evidence, and framing the innocent to protect her guilty White spouse, Sam Keating. The scene concludes with Davis’ character dissolving into a whimpering puddle while declaring her need for psychopath Sam ad infinitum. 

The politics of black hair exponentially magnify the significance of this scene and all other settings when Annalise reveals her natural. Franchesca Ramsey reminds us “there are very few black women on TV wearing their natural hair.” “There's a long, complicated history of black women being told by society [Whites] that their natural hair is unprofessional, ugly, distracting, and a whole host of other insults.” In another display of #BlackSelfRespect, Davis lobbied to have HTGAWM include her unprocessed do. It’s fascinating to deconstruct Nowalk’s politicking of black hair. 

Upadhyaya unpacks the unmasking: “Annalise sits at her vanity and slowly peels back her layers. She removes her wig, her eyelashes, her makeup, never breaking eye contact with the reflection of her natural self. It’s an intimate, powerful moment television doesn’t often show: A black woman removing all the elements White Supremacy tells her she has to wear to be beautiful, successful, powerful. And let’s not forget that that wasn’t just Annalise taking it off: It was Davis, too...” 

What happens in the narrative at this moment? Sam admits to having an affair with a dead blond girl. More layers are unearthed as the audience discovers that before they were married, Sam was her therapist – helping Annalise cope with the trauma of child rape. He was previously married, but had an affair with Annalise. She accurately diagnoses his fetish for mistresses who are “weak, broken, messes that” require his straightening. The scene ends with Sam violently subduing and momentarily smothering his black wife. 

Annalise’ authentic locks re-emerge at the top of episode six. Wes, a law student and main character played by Harry Potter star Alfred Enoch, determines that his law professor is lying to protect her murderous white husband. He confronts Annalise and her natural hair to declare explicitly and repeatedly that she is “disgusting.” 

This is not “anti-mammy” or “anti-racism;” this is the routine war to insist that black females be rebuked, abused, and de-feminized at all times. 

The anti-blackness of Nowalk’s series is most forcefully emphasized in the presentation of black female sexuality. During a Variety interview, he disclosed, “Some of the characters are very driven by sex and I think that’s cool. I think Annalise — and Viola and I talk about it — she’s definitely driven by sex.” The problem becomes blatant in how Nowalk animates Annalise’s sexuality. 

Her marriage – again, her husband's a White killer – began as an affair with a married man. His infidelity continues, while she’s stepping out with a dying cancer patient’s husband. And she doesn’t merely have adulterous sex with this black male, she betrays him continually, has him incarcerated unjustly, and decimates his life. This is not a critique born of “respectability politics.” This is an emphatic restatement of Melissa Harris-Perry’s conclusion that “the implications of sexual images for black American women are different.” “The sexualized myths of black women have conspired to narrow the political and social world for sisters.” How To Get Away With Murder was supposed to be beyond those confines. 

Alessandra Stanley helped launch the series when her contentious New York Times piece described Davis as “darker-skinned and less classically beautiful.” Earlier in the same paragraph she writes, “As Annalise, Ms. Davis, 49, is sexual and even sexy, in a slightly menacing way.” Unarmed black teens like Renisha McBride and Michael Brown Jr. are “menacing.” Is the sexuality of primetime, Emmy-winning White actresses branded as “menacing”? The scripting of Annalise’s promiscuity promotes Stanley’s perception. 

This is best illustrated during the first season's winter finale. After an ugly verbal dispute and a second round of domestic abuse, Annalise’s White husband gives a mic drop and reminds us that black females are disgusting. 

“You're nothing but a piece of ass. That's what I saw when I first talked to you in the office that day. Because I knew you would put out. That's all you're really good for. Dirty, rough sex I'm too ashamed to tell anyone about. That's how foul you are. You disgusting slut.” 

Should this be the Emmy reel episode?

Hurricane Katrina: Sniping Looters With Chris Kyle

We've had a bountiful serving of commentaries and ceremonies on Hurricane Katrina and a decade of ethnic cleansing and resilience in New Orleans. Former President George Bush rebuked Kanye West by nuzzling black children, the Danziger Bridge killers of Ronald Madison and James Brissette Jr. celebrated their 2011 federal convictions being trashed, and the 9th Ward got a plaque.

There's been more time reminiscing about New Orleans’ looters of yore than jabs at federal inmate, former Mayor Ray Nagin.

Between Wendell Pierce’s new book, Lil Weezyana, and the consistently vulgar Chicago Tribune… the late Chris Kyle was forgotten.

Which seems impossible considering American Sniper christened 2015 with six Academy Award nominations and grossed more $300 million. “The most lethal sniper in U.S. military history” sports a list of honors nearly equal to his number of confirmed kills. In June, he was posthumously awarded the Texas Legislative Medal Of Honor. More than 200,000 petitioners insist Kyle be awarded the Congressional Medal Of Honor, and just this summer, a Georgia Family converted seven acres of farmland to a monument for the murdered Navy Seal.

No evidence places “killer Kyle” in the Crescent City when the levees broke. But Nicholas Schmidle reports that the deified veteran bragged about notching extra kills on the flooded streets of New Orleans:

“In the days after Hurricane Katrina, he said, the law-and-order situation was dire. He and another sniper… set up on top of the Superdome, and proceeded to shoot dozens of armed residents who were contributing to the chaos. Three people shared with me varied recollections of that evening: the first said that Kyle claimed to have shot thirty men on his own.”

Perhaps if Clint Eastwood had included this scene in the fallen soldier’s biopic, he would’ve nabbed an Oscar or three. 

In his autobiography, Kyle habitually brands the people he slayed in Iraq as “despicable savages.” Identical verbiage was employed against the drowned black citizens of New Orleans. Sheri Fink writes that Former Memorial Hospital (Baptist) employee and Suspected Racist Dr. John Thiele feared “crazy Black people, who think they’ve been oppressed for all these years by White people,” would wade through toxic sludge to rape, dismember, and torture hospitalized elderly patients. Some of Dr. Thiele’s armed colleagues evoked Kyle’s spirit by threatening to shoot “looters,” “including wide-eyed children” near a hospital window. 

In Katrina: After The Flood, Gary Rivlin depicts Tulane University’s Lance Hill bearing witness as Katrina transmogrified Whites “to their original state.” Hill “watched as two White men thanked a white National Guardsman for helping to protect their city. ‘Now if you can just keep the blacks from coming back.’”

Kyle may have been absent, but local police, state troopers, National Guard, military personnel, privately contacted Israeli forces, Academi (Blackwater), and gun-toting White civilians saturated the streets of NOLA. AC Thompson conducted years of research on nearly a dozen Black people who were killed in the week following Katrina by New Orleans police officers or random White citizens. Enforcement officers alleged that Baton Rouge police targeted and molested black evacuees and branded them "'animals' that needed to be beaten down." The documentary Welcome To New Orleans records a gang of Whites gleefully admitting to carnage Kyle could only counterfeit. They picnic and reminisce about “looters” they capped after the storm. “It was like shooting pheasants.”

Banishing, hunting black bodies, terminating black life is a hallowed occasion in the history of White Supremacy. The hurricane, levee failure, and contempt for black life consumed more than a thousand black lives.

Kyle told tall tales where he added to that number.

Dukes Of Hazzard Canceled (Again), Empire Returns In September

I’ve seen more episodes of Dukes of Hazzard than Empire. 

One of these programs encourages antiblack violence in support of White Supremacy and will remain on the air for the foreseeable future. 

The Dukes of Hazzard, which was canceled when Madiba was still in prison and before Dylann Storm Roof existed, has been expunged from the TV Land lineup. No reason was given, but it's suspected that the Confederate flag dispute prompted the removal.The show's featured getaway ride is named “General Lee” and brandishes a Confederate flag. 

Much like Ferguson 2014, White Supremacists have done a masterful job framing our understanding of the most recent illustration of white pathology. We’re groomed to accept Roof as a “unique” White man. Told Racism will be stifled by removing a symbol of “turmoil for African Americans.” 

They were referencing the Confederate battle flag, but… black people are being EricGarnered with shrines to Racism and White killers. 

The removal of Dukes creates space for an infinite number of viewing options that invariably sanctify identical concepts of white power that guarantee American Snipers like Roof. 

The manifesto attributed to the Charleston Terrorist quotes a

pivotal scene from the 1998 film, American History X: 

I see all this stuff going on, and I don’t see anyone doing anything about it. And it pisses me off. 

This is part of the Hitleresque tirade Derek Vineyard presents to a troop of White Supremacists before a Roof-like assault on a non-white business. Edward Norton earned an Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of Vineyard. Roof’s muse goes on to kill two black people, rejoices after stomping through a black male’s skull. 

This film – and Empire – will have more broadcast time now that Dukes has been banished. 

Many reports acknowledge that the former CBS series was "one of television’s highest rated shows" in the early 80’s. They do not suggest that flagrant appeals to white power were an integral aspect of the show’s charm. In edition to invoking the Confederate general's spirit and the flag of white defenders of black enslavement and treason, they made “Dixie” a hallmark element of the production. 

The song's opening verse tells all: I wish I was in the land of cotton. The theme song of the Confederacy, "Dixie" has become an exalted white power hymn that Whites defend and coalesce to sing on campuses and sporting events across the land. Campuses including the University of Mississippi and South Carolina's The Citadel.

"Norman Seabrooks, The Citadel's first African American scholarship athlete, disliked hearing 'Dixie' as a fight song, and he would sit down or walk away when he heard the tune. As captain of the football team, he would leave the locker room early and step on the field before the band started playing. Other black cadets exhibited similar protests, and Seabrooks' classmate Larry Ferguson faced a severe backlash for refusing to play the song as a member of the Regimental Band. Ferguson's academic scholarship was threatened and one night, he and his roommate returned to the barracks to find their room trashed, racial threats painted on the walls, their books shredded, and a doll hung from the ceiling by a noose."

The stars of Dukes are white delinquents who habitually #CrimeWhileWhite. The show’s signature moment features “General Lee” and the Dukes evading authorities while the car horn blares the secessionist ditty that yearns for the "bondage, beatings and rape" of the plantation phase of White Supremacy. 

In 2015 Washington state, one of my White “neighbors” has the very same Dukes Of Hazzard, “Dixie” melody for his car horn. White Supremacy memorabilia transcends region and time because collective devotion to White Terrorism is unbounded. 

Irrespective of recent events, it’s unlikely my “neighbor's” car horn will be prohibited. 

Gregory Johnson, Jr. Died In A White Fraternity Like SAE

This is how a public university defends its values? By effectively evicting and contemplating expulsion for those who express hate for others based on their race? Is sending the white students packing even responsible? Is it educational?  Whatever happened to the adage, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me”?  And what about the principle of passionately rebutting outbursts of racism with speech of one’s own, while loving the racists? It’s that value to which Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. subscribed.

Michael Meyers of the NY Daily News bemoaned the University of Oklahoma's decision to hold it's Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter accountable for their Racist conduct. If Darren Wilson isn't punished for killing a black teen, who could justify or stomach White juveniles being reprimanded for singing about lynching a nigger?

Astonishingly, Meyers' plea for tolerance and mercy for the Sooner transgressors is not widespread. All members of the Oklahoma SAE chapter were suspended by their national organization, the chapter is banned from campus, the White students ordered to vacate their frat house, and two members (Levi Pettit, Parker Rice) have been expelled.

My counter-racist code demands that I not help Whites/Racists to the best of my ability. But the rampant, shameless White hypocrisy this incident has unleashed requires me to briefly channel Annalise Keating/Aibileen Clark and help the pounced upon SAE brotherhood.

Ann Telnaes, the president of the Univ. of Oklahoma David Boren and a host of others grabbed their rocks and commenced to throwing as if their house wasn't glass. As if they weren't members of the same White brotherhood/sisterhood that birthed, nourished, groomed, protected and instructed SAE. As if they weren't Racist.

As if SAE's Racist spectacle is an oddity, a deviation from the global White Supremacy norm.

A party at Clemson University has some of the student body upset. The party, held on Martin Luther King Junior day, poked fun at racial stereotypes with partygoers dressed in blackface and other offensive gear. Pictures from the event show one man who'd painted himself black, and other students gripping bottles of malt liquor with their hands duct-taped to the bottles. The theme of the party was 'Living the Dream.' Jan. 2007

Some Arizona State University fraternity students posted horrendously offensive photos of themselves dressed in basketball jerseys, bandanas, drinking out of watermelons and throwing gang signs in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr., Day. Jan. 2014

An incident involving Wheaton College football players who dressed up in Ku Klux Klan robes as part of a parody of the Will Smith film "Bad Boys II" has rocked the college's campus, which already has been reeling from two other recent high-profile incidents. March 2015

A white student walking down the hall of her dormitory at Wheaton College found a noose hanging near the door of a black dormmate three weeks ago. It was the sixth apparently racist incident to occur at the college in the last two years. Nov. 1983

Two student associations at Lund University in southern Sweden have been reported for hate speech after a party featuring the sale of "slaves" complete with blackened faces and ropes around their necks. April 2011

It's a grotesque lie to trivialize the SAE footagee as youthful tomfoolery, a tragic mixture of booze and naivete, or a lone blemish to otherwise burgeoning race relations. White elders brazenly, perpetually carry out identical Racist rituals. Andrea Shea King announced to a live radio audience that Congressional Black Caucus members should be lynched in front of the US Capitol Building for opposing Prime Minister Netanyahu's address to congress. Kelly Tilghman told a live television audience that uppity Tiger Woods should be hung from a tree. The Montgomery County Sheriff's Department (Ohio) investigated five deputies (two were fired) for sending racist text messages for years. Those texts included - but were not limited to: “I hate Niggers. That is all.”  “What do apples and black people have in common? They both hang from trees." And according to the Department of Justice investigation of the Ferguson Police Department, Darren Wilson's former colleagues have a lot in common with the boys of SAE.

This video is just the latest illustration of White Culture. The most recent reminder of what it means to be White. Hopefully, the straw that permanently cracks the spine of the cock-and-bull notion that young Whites are rehabilitated, not Racist.

One of the few things worse than the faux White outrage directed at Oklahoma is the repulsive, bogus spectacle of Senators Jeff Sessions, Rob Portman, former president George "doesn't-care-about-black-people" Bush and the White occupation of Selma. Whites invest enormous sums of time and energy creating photo ops that suggest a sizable portion of Whites are not racist and value black lives. Whites allocated more resources to parade across a bridge named after a KKK member, than to earnestly examine and report the death of Gregory Johnson, Jr.

Mr. Johnson was a 20-year-old student at San Jose State University in 2008. He made the unfortunate decision to reside in the all White Sigma Chi Fraternity House; he was the sole black resident. He was found dead in the Sigma Chi basement on November 22, 2008. Much like LaVena Johnson, Kendrea Johnson, Khalid Flimban and Lennon Lacy... Mr. Johnson's death was deemed a suicide. To quote Quentin Tarantino, "No one who'll be missed."

The Johnson family was justifiably unsatisfied with the suspicious death of Gregory. They've resiliently pursued the truth, and their examination lead them to query the Federal Bureau of Investigation. FBI officials reportedly denied them further information on the death of Gregory Johnson, Jr. on the grounds that it was "a matter of national security." Consequently, the Johnsons filed a $520 million federal lawsuit against SJSU, the University police and Sigma Chi Fraternity. SJSU is also facing a $5 million suit from Donald Williams. In 2013 Williams was an 18-year-old black freshman subjected to ongoing and unpunished White Terrorism from his roommates; they violently assaulted him and called him "3/5" and fraction.

The election of President Obama preceded both occurrences; neither incident provoked the tsunami of finger-wagging and White hand-wringing elicited by SAE's tacky ditty. Gregory Johnson, Jr.'s family could have benefited from the national wrath and expedience demonstrated in Norman, Oklahoma. If #BlackLivesMatter, Denise Johnson might have a more accurate understanding of why her child is dead. In fact, she'd still have her son.

Founded in 1856 at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, SAE has its roots in the antebellum South. When the Civil War began, almost all its members fought for the Confederacy.

Tuscaloosa is approximately 76 miles from Selma. It seems reasonable that some of the White brutes who murdered Jimmie Lee Jackson and sadistically mauled Congressman John Lewis and dozens more might be descendants of SAE architects.

Norman is 122 miles from Tulsa. It seems equally possible that some of the SAE members or general students compromising a University of Oklahoma enrollment topping 30,000 carry the genetic memory of White ancestors who slaughtered and plundered citizens of Black Wall Street.

The irredeemable Whites who sacrificed hundreds of thousands of White lives in defense of enslaving black people are the irredeemable White Terrorists documented in the 2015 report on the "egregiously underreported" lynchings of black people. This is the stock, the lineage, the foundation of the 21st century, global White collective. To restrict this pathology to SAE offers a disingenuous, inaccurate presentation of Whitefolks, Racism.

The White parents of the expelled kids insist their boys are good, got black friends, and are most certainly not Racist.

Apples and Racists don't fall far from the tree.

Super Bowl 49: Study In Racism

Tom Brady celebrates with Convicted Racist Mark Wahlberg

In 36hrs. my counter-racist evaluation of Super Bowl 49 became this blog's most popular entry ever. The most watched show in television history has continued to captivate long after the final whistle. New England's conquest of Richard Sherman, Marshawn "BeastMode" Lynch and the Seattle Seahawks illustrates many elements of the ubiquitous, corrosive and all-encompassing nature of White Supremacy. Numerous Suspected Race Soldiers filled the comment section of my post-game dissection. Predictably, they insist the outcome of Super Bowl 49 - much like Tasha Thomas' (John Crawford, III's girlfriend) fatal car crash, Timothy Loehmann being hired and authorized to kill murder Tamir Rice, and the North Miami Beach Police Department using photographs of black males for target practice - had nothing to do with White Supremacy (Racism).

Mr. Neely Fuller, Jr. says, "White people can show you better than I can tell you."

Super Bowl 49: Castrating A Beast

The most important message in this essay is that in the last 100 years, the white collective simply has moved from the overt sport and entertainment of lynching and castrating Black men (removing their testicles), thereby controlling their “balls,” to a more highly refined series of symbolic representations of the same act…

                         The Isis Papers Dr. Frances Cress Welsing

The Buck Nigger

5 Time Pro Bowl running back Marshawn Lynch was one yard from brandishing back-to-back Super Bowl titles and MVP hardware to match his gold fronts and African medallions. Three feet. The Seattle Seahawks inexplicably faltered 36 inches from triumph. With a first and goal on the 1-yard line, Lynch wasn’t allowed to touch the ball - or his balls.

Absent a reasonable explanation, it's logical to suspect that powerful Whites may have decided that an obstinate black beast would not be permitted a super-bowl-winning touchdown and the requisite temptation for the most defiant end zone celebration in NFL history. A black male palming three balls.

Fans, players and analysts will offer a wealth of interpretations and a more cogent, transparent investigation of the decisive moments of Super Bowl 49 than the Ferguson grand jury proceedings.

Most of that discourse won’t suggest that another demon(ized) black male was subjected to Racism. If the Empire of White Supremacy obstructs and contaminates grand juries, police departments, McDonalds, and enlisted black female’s ability to maintain healthy, natural hair, why wouldn’t Whites thwart the success of uppity thugs niggers like Lynch and Richard Sherman?

 

White contempt for Lynch has been thinly veiled, crude, and pervasive. The New York Post’s Bart Hubbuch branded Lynch an “unprofessional dick” and a “childish jerk.” The New York Times’ Juliet Macur channeled her Willie Horton, Central Park Five and George Stinney White angst to indict Lynch as a sexual beast.

He flashed that grin when the gymnast Shawn Johnson — the [White,] tiny and eternally adorable gold medalist from the 2008 Olympics — threw him a bag of Skittles as part of her gig with “Inside Edition.” Lynch blew her a kiss and told her, “You’re sexy, too.” She ran off, blushing. (I cringed, only because I first wrote about Johnson when she was 15 — and she is 23 now, but still looks 15.) 

A sabotaged ball game hardly registers when juxtaposed against the macabre mountain of lynched black males and razed black towns Whites have justified (celebrated) in the name of avenging an allegedly defiled pale woman. Lynch had the audacity to munch Skittles and live. The cockiness to disobey master, not speak on command. The Orenthal-James-Simpson-gall to get fresh with a White Woman.

Whites scripted Lynch as a petulant child rejecting White paternal authority by refusing to showcase a golden grin polished with White gratitude. A sassy nigger who needs reminding that his place is with the likes of Bay Area residents Bobby Hutton, Oscar Grant and Nubia Bowe. Whites provided him a plantation of dreams to escape the horrors of Oakland White Supremacy. And now he thinks he can defy White authority and keep his balls?

Black children like Darrin Manning had their balls taken for less: 

On January 7th, 2014 Darrin Manning, a 16 year old Black boy, was castrated by a female police officer that found him suspicious. Mr. Manning was a child, a straight “A” student, he was searched, patted down, and then his testicles were squeezed by this woman of the state so hard that they ruptured as indicated by an audible popping.

Maggie Rhodes’ black son Ashton had his genitals mutilated for less. 

When he was in the room, he was screaming like life and death like, like there wasn’t no tomorrow,” she said. “When she pulled back the cloth, like [Ashton’s penis] was like gone. She cut up instead of down, instead of cutting around the top of the penis.

White ball games should not be a priority for sane black people. No Super Bowl triumph or athletic achievement will provide permanent or even temporary solutions to black people’s problems with Racism (Whites). At best these institutions reify and reflect the White Supremacy values that make #BlackLivesMatter a hope or a hashtag, not reality.

Racist projections of demon, black beasts (not humans) that White and courageous Tom Bradys and Darren Wilsons must vanquish. Fairy Tale Racist Endings where brash, recalcitrant niggers are neutered by upstanding, hardworking Whites. White Supremacy could not reward Lynch’s weeks of supposed insubordination and genital flouting with an NFL crown. The core aspects of White culture that required the whipping of unruly Marshawn Lynch and the Seahawks fuel the ongoing molestation of Assata Shakur. The rebellious, “buck nigger” is insufferable and must be broken. Broken in a manner that exemplifies how black defiance concludes. White conquest over – often holding – black balls.

William Rhoden master crafted $40 Million Slave and an interesting prelude to New England’s return to glory. He hinted that “by hook or by crook,” Patriot success seemed likely. Maybe he sensed the Arizona showdown was more plantation than coronation of “black heroes.” With Serena Williams confiscating her 19th major championship at the Australian Open a day before the gridiron battle, Whites had already surpassed their tolerance for celebrating melanin accomplishment.

Entire cross-sections of the country prayed for a “white hope” to rescue the title from the “beast” who had stolen it.

Wishing For White Protesters Like Cliven Bundy

What we have foremost in common is that enemy. The White Man [and White Woman]. [They are] enemies to all of us. I know some of you think that some of them aren't enemies. Time will tell. - Minister Malcolm X

Dr. Baz Dreisinger was the first White guest on The Context of White Supremacy for 2015. She is the second Racist Suspect asked about the validity of Ta-Nehisi Coates assertion that, "White people are often sincerely and greatly pained by racism." [Incidentally, Gus asked Mr. Coates directly about this conclusion; he declined to comment.] Dr. Dreisinger declared that Coates speaks the truth; she and the White community are authentically anguished about the terrorism they have inflicted upon black people. She cited the recent infestation of Whites that have marched, held signs and die-ins for Michael Brown, Jr. and Eric Garner.

LMBAO was my initial response to Dr. Dreisinger's commentary as well as the photographic illustration of a sincerely and greatly pained White Man. But ROTF isn't a codified counter-racist response. A serious investigation of the latest swarm of White participation in black liberation reveals no altruism, no potency, no humor.

Where is the Well Meaning White Militia?
When Whites become earnestly committed to a cause, military might typically authenticates their sincerity. John Brown drenched the earth in blood to evidence his loyalty to ending black enslavement (so I been told). New millennium Whites claim his lineage - descendants with a birth right to complete his divine mission. But they're not strapped. "Anti-Racists" are not Cliven Bundy - armed, resolute Whites who contest unjust behavior and are willing to give or take a Racist life to produce Justice. Armed Whites publicly demonstrated their fury during the healthcare town hall meetings of 2009. Pale folks have continued packing in support of open-carry laws and in protest of possible firearm restrictions (symbolic White castration). One would think Whites who invest themselves in defending the 2nd Amendment would launch a siege on Ohio - an open-carry state; John Crawford, III and Tamir Rice were gunned down in Buckeye territory for holding toy guns. White gun enthusiasts didn't process these events as unconstitutional assaults on citizens' rights to arms. Apparently, it was just two niggers killed. No one who'll be missed. Black people are targeted for systemic, perpetual violence globally. Whites who allege to be against Racism are predictably lame, impotent and unable to adequately defend black life or rebuff White Terrorism.

"They Didn't Integrate It, They Infiltrated It."

Dear white protestors, this is NOT about you. 
Stop cannibalizing our movements with hashtags about every other life but ours. Stop plagiarizing Black people’s actual struggles for fictionalized white pain (I’m looking at you Hunger Games, with your whitewashed protagonist. “The Hanging Tree?” For real?). Stop scrambling to stand atop the growing pile of dead Black bodies to use it as your makeshift platform to secure more privileges and status for yourself. Stop using protests that should be about Black lives to exercise your white angst, break shit under the cover of darkness, and then bask in the bright light of white privilege while Black lives are declared to be worth less than the windows you broke.

An indispensable component of the System of White Supremacy is the concept of a White person that is not Racist. Victims of Racism are contaminated, Stockholm-Syndromed to yearn for White validation, White acceptance. It can be petrifying to think that every individual classified as White is a willing combatant in the army of White Terrorism. Invoking the name of John Brown or photos of Anne Braden or the presence of a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor in Ferguson is a tactic of White military science (White Supremacy PsyOps); "White allies" disarm black self preservation and accurate perception of Whites as enemies.

Frequently, these benign Whites have at least one commonality with Cliven Bundy, a focus on studying "the negro." Many Whites produced biographies, documentaries, dissertations and careers from their Civil Rights days of yore. Yet Racism remains. Minister Malcolm X and others have noted that White presence functions as a governor and surveyor of black efforts to counter-racism. The 1963 March on Washington, the film Selma or The Obama Presidency would not be possible or celebrated without direct White infiltration, domination. Whites are allies to White Supremacy, not black people; their attendance should always signal an attempt to control, corrode, and impede black liberation.

The C.O.W.S. was fortunate to feature a black activist from Toronto; she and her black comrades recognized the predictable ways that Whites practice Racism when they invade black counter-racism efforts. Consequently, they implemented a code to limit Whites' ability to remove focus from Whites practicing Racism against black people or divert attention away from black protesters to White participants. They didn't deviate from their code, and a sizable portion of Whites seethed, accused the black organizers of "reverse racism."

What Does It Mean To Be White?

This is one of Melissa Harris-Perry's first offerings of the year, and this Sunday broadcast was a revival for Viola Liuzzo, those two White boys killed with James Chaney, and James Reeb. Four Whites who've been dead a half century must be sanctified and acknowledged as sterling rebukes to any suggestion that all Whites are irredeemably Racist. Few question why the community of sincerely and greatly pained Whites has produced so few 'allies" willing to battle and die to end Racism or brand the puny crew of Benjamin Perry, Rev. Renita Lamkin, William Lloyd Garrison, and other "good" Whitefolks as statistically insignificant. At best, these are anomalies, White outliers that obfuscate the meaning of White Identity.

If anything, the dead bodies of Liuzzo, Reeb and James Chaney's White companions illustrate the "White" classification assumes unwavering devotion to White Supremacy and failure to comply can result in expulsion from the group and forfeiture of life.

Within days of Brown's shooting, Missouri State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal remarked:

The folks who were out last night, black and white. And when I kept saying the black community, you had a White couple to put up the black power sign up last night. That is an example of the community I represent. It was beautiful.

Following the the announcement that Eric Garner's killer would not be indicted, Spike Lee wanted to stress that a diverse New York collective assembled to object to the decision - which "has nothing to do with black and white." This is a predictable product of White Terrorism. White's have inflicted ceaseless, unpunished, White torture against black people; their mere presence makes many non-whites fearful, reluctant, or unable to communicate honestly about Racism - how Whites have and are tormenting us.

A White Man in a hoodie, brandishing an inadequately sized protest poster is a woeful expression of the power of White allies, rehabilitated race traitors who understand that the most they can do is the least they can do to end a Racist Empire that nourishes them.

This White lad's ability and will to vanquish Racism equal the likelihood of Cliven Bundy insisting that black  #NegroLivesMatter. No disrespect to the Garner family, but don't hold your breath waiting on Whites that are not Racist.
