Clarence Thomas is a pessimistic separatist black nationalist & thinks racism cant be fixed?!

[GnauzBookOfRhymes]

The central construct of white people and white supremacy is whites getting ahead of blacks

You are delusional and out of your mind if you think whites especially racist ones have any vested interesting in helping the black race, ludicrous.

Infact the whole right wing political underpinning is here

The mistake you're making is assuming that my comments regarding a theoretical white nationalist/supremacist governments policies towards Black ppl mean I believe their actions would be based on genuine or heartfelt concern/solidarity etc. The central construct is maintaining power. Big difference. They have a vested interest in ANY policy that allows them to remain dominant. If a policy of mutually benign neglect is the key to power, they'll take it in a heartbeat. The politics of race are changing right before our eyes. It's just easy to overlook bc of the sheer volume of individual stories/current events/personalities - MOST of which are being filtered to the public by reporters/analysts etc that have a very limited view/understanding of these dynamics due to a combination of their race (mostly white), class (upper class), education (elite), geography (cosmopolitan), politics (establishment right/left) and career goals (acceptance into high society).

Read your history and you'll find that maintaining anti democratic power is always easier if you mollify rather than continue to antagonize large populations of native born residents/citizens/inhabitants. Especially in modern times where even the poorest can fight superpowers to a stalemate, when non governmental actors like corporations have as much power as nations and no single country is immune to pressure from the rest of the world.

He does. That's what he was doing his entire time in the 70s and 80s. He has numerous speeches and books about class disparity being conflated with race. He will also tell you when we think of groups of assisted by government, we overestimate the impact.

I don't fully agree with him on that, but there are way too many discussions about handouts and who got what from the government instead of figuring out how to get what we need without comparing ourselves to the next group. If we believe white supremacy is real and systemic racism is real then its a moot point to even care about who is giving us crumbs.

I agree with the last part but we have to stop acting like the situation we're in isn't thrown in our faces and those who do act like we had the same opportunity everyone else did.

None of disputes my central point though. In fact it seems like you agree that the right wing racial appeasement of the broader white supremacist viewpoint is what is taking place.

I dont see anything in American conservative dichotomy that even approaches the black race in America via benign neglect.

Its always been based out of avarice and contempt.

History shows that

Can you say this in a different way, I'm having trouble understanding.

whats funny is you dont see Clarence Thomas level conservatives being promoted. If they're black conservatives they're the actual Candace Owens clowns. You know the types who DO NOT read books like Jesse Lee Peterson or Diamond and Silk and other youtube clowns. Or your generic Fox News bootlicker.

Clarence Thomas does NOT, if this theory holds, fukk with white people like that. Which would blow most white conservatives minds.

I bet Jason Whitlock doesn't even know this. His fat ass would have a heart attack if he had to address this.

in fact if they're on youtube, AND conservative, chances are that they're fukking stupid because theres a lack of incentive to become well read when you can just drop hot takes and other bullshyt for clicks.

Can you imagine being this fukking exhausted? Like damn.

he had militant leanings until he went to work at Monsanto, I believe it was. once he got a taste of the money that was it. I read his book years ago.

his story isn't special. alotta Black people think a certain way before getting a taste of the cash.

part of me feels like this is why black socialists got so pissed with white socialists for not addressing racism so they just pivoted to "by any means necessary" talk, including but not limited to capitalism...and maybe why Bernie failed.

Black people want money too...

Yeah. I imagine a lot of old AA's feel like this. I also can't imagine how events in the community make him feel.

Black people want to live life, pursue our goals and be secure. I think the fact that white cohorts in these issues neglect or outright forget about the fact that racism is social as well as economic we get angry.

Some of these dudes on here will eventually turn into a Clarence Thomas.

Whats wild is that I dont think a lot of these online conservatives like Prof Black Truth and Jason Black and Tommy Sotomayor ... are basically Clarence Thomas.

thats why class reductionists piss me off. Look at this shyt.

I'm a democrat. I will continue to vote for them.

But the Bernie saga has shown me that the white left is very disrespectful to issues of racism by trying to pin everything on capitalism.
