Militant afrocentrism (such as members of the Coli espouse) is an irrational ideology because it depends upon the gross exaggeration of white people’s wickedness... and black people’s nobility.
At the root of it is the notion of the "Global System of White Supremacy", a sinister global conspiracy to keep blacks - and all other non-whites - down, oppress them, destroy their communities, steal from them etc.
The GSWS is apparently an all-pervasive and omnipotent, and it's been happening for a long time. It knows no borders, it knows no bounds, it rules directly and indirectly. It affects everything and everybody, every facet of existence.
But this argument is very tricky, because it poses a problem. If such an institution does indeed exist, this raises an interesting question:
What is necessary for a group of people to conceive, implement and maintain for centuries an effective system of world domination?
The answer is intelligence.
And what’s lacking in another group of people – those identified as “black,” who were architects of great ancient civilizations – that they now find themselves, everywhere on Earth, utterly controlled by whites and their “supremacy system”? How come they were hoodwinked? The answer is obvious.
You see, unwittingly, the minds behind militant afrocentrism - and their adherents on the Coli - support a self-defeating argument. When they ceaselessly overstate the impact of white racism, they run the risk of calling attention back to the old superior/inferior dialectic that white racists and supremacists hold.(which I categorically do not share or support support). Because, obviously, how can you say that Whitey rules everything around you and has ultimate power over your destiny... without giving Whitey the credit for being smarter?
And this is the solution: "white people must be evil"
The Nation of Islam, for example, constructed a full-blown demonology (complete with creation myth) to explain why the “white blue-eyed devil” is on top.
Leonard Jeffries popularized the notion of whites as “ice people,” evolutionarily inclined towards violence and cruelty, compared with melanin-endowed “sun people” who are warm and empathetic.
etc etc.
Cruel, devilish, death-worshipping white folks, dominating the world and keeping the black man down. Don’t you hate that? Don’t you hate them?
But see, this is why this entire ideology is so flawed and self-defeating: because having constructed this monstrous white enemy and exaggerated its power and influence... damn, how can you fight that? How could you possibly defeat a system so vast, an enemy people so effective in their designs, so ruthless in their ambitions?
How can you fight the CIA, who has the power to destroy the black family, how can you fight the people who have the resources and intelligence to create AIDS to kill black people? How can you fight the most powerful militaries to have ever existed on this planet? How can you fight nukes?
Conclusion: "whites are inherently evil" is nothing but a convenient attempt at rationalizing a "cognitive dissonance". It's a half-baked argument meant to solve the central problem of a half-baked ideology. It's meant to turn the brain off and instead tug at the heart strings. It's meant to empower and enrich race hucksters with money, influence and followers. And the less intelligent and the more gullible are falling for it.

And there you have it. I considered making this thread a few times before but I always backed out because I truly don't want to offend black people here. I didn't make this thread as an assault on black people or as an extollation of white people. We are all humans, equals.
I know and expect a lot of people will huff and puff and call me a racist, caveman etc. And that's fine. But at least be honest with yourself and allow yourself to carefully and logically scrutinize the #inherently movement and see if it stands up. That's all I can ask.
If anyone wants to have a logical and civil debate, feel free to.
Oh, and bring on the negs.
