I Am the Least Racist Person You Know

[Okeefenokee]

Despite many who argue that black Americans cannot rise because of racist barriers, black immigrants rise. A majority of the black students at Harvard are from Africa or the Caribbean, and Nigerians "are already markedly overrepresented at Wall Street investment banks and blue-chip law firms.

The CIA, the FBI, and local law enforcement working in concert, systemically decapitated the political and social leadership within the black community, MLK to the Black Panthers, COINTELPRO worked its way through the ranks, in what the military would describe as a counterleadership operation.

Organized black resistance to state force was broken by covert and overt militarized means, until all that was left was "tar pits of criminals, illiterates, and absentee fathers", most of those fathers jailed for drug offenses by the War on Drugs rubric imposed to contain them by force in the ghettos.

Bahaha. Ever absolved of their own agency or more explicitly the lack thereof. This is the stuff of soft bigotry. What a joke.

COINTELPRO wasn't targeted at black people by race, it was targeted at social and political leaders within the black community who attempted to organize resistance to state force meant to suppress a revolt against the established power structure, COINTELPRO wasn't race based, it was political, it also targeted white people who attempted to organized community resistance to state force on behalf of the established power structure.

Black socialists, white socialists, COINTELPRO treated them all the same.

How do you square that with the fact that the immigrants live side by side with the descendants of slaves and are indiscernible by the education system, yet are somehow magically left alone by law enforcement and have greater academic success?

I think its cultural, there is a black American ghetto culture which is discernible and the target of specific repression.

The black american ghetto culture is certainly discernible.

The idea that it is the target of repression is laughable. It represses itself.

/maplesyrupbonghit you know maaaaaaan. The sky high rates of crime, drug use, lack of education, and absentee fathers in the ghetto culture would be a path to success if the CIA didn't actively target that culture with specific repression.

Go smoke some more weed, lefty.

Those in the media, in politics and in academia who seem determined to blame American society for individuals and groups who do not rise would be hard-pressed to explain why immigrants of various colors come in at the bottom and proceed to rise, both in the schools and in the economy — on both sides of the Atlantic.

It would probably never occur to those who are eager to blame "society" that it is they and their welfare state ideology who have, for generations, burdened the underclass with a vision of hopeless victimhood that immigrants have been spared.

By the time various immigrant groups have been here for generations, they have already risen, despite the welfare state ideology that says that they cannot rise.

That so many in the media and in academia who proclaim the end of social mobility in America leave out the fact that data they cite do not include various immigrant groups tells you all you need to know about them.

Go smoke some more weed, lefty.

It's not available until July 1st, I'm waiting for my government weed now, bootleg weed has lost its thrill, I want my green slung by the Queen, that's what I'm holding out for.

Get Langley on the phone. We've got a squirter.

Lebron James is a rich man too, but that's what you call a specific to general fallacy, cherry pick a handful of success stories, invoke them as the general rule. Weak.

Specific to general?

Nigerian immigrants are the most highly educated group of Americans, period.

They beat out the Jews.

Black west indian immigrants have the highest income of all black americans.

Where's the CIA memo ordering the spooks to conduct DNA tests so the immigrants don't get caught in the snare?

Have you not realized what a fucking joke your theory is?

Whoever said the welfare state was not all inclusive to keeping the black man down? Certainly not me, COINTELPRO is all inclusive to the Welfare-Warfare state, it's just the warfare arm, the welfare arm is also repressive.
