Been thiniking about a new term to zero in on the folks I usually mean when
I say "White People".. I was, for a couple of post using the term, "white
christian male power structure.. but I think christianity is more of a tool for
them than a belief system.. and if you think about it, capitalism is really the
religion of these folks.. they use capitalism to maintain the power that they obtain
through their ruthlessness. and when you think about it.. or when I think
about it.. I think they use Racism in the same way they use capitalism.. and
the same way use religion.. so if Racism, Christianity and Capitalism are the
primary methods should they be included in the name?.. should it be:
The Racist White Male Christian Capitalist Power Structure? and what about
the Ruthless violence? How about the Ruthlessly Violent Racist White Male
Christian Capitalist Power Structure? (RVRWMCCPS).. and is White descriptive
enough.. should it be European? RVREMCCPS.. or Aryan? RVRAMCCPS?
I think White Supremacist Power Structure is adequate also.. but it has become
a cliche.. it already means too many conflicting things to too many people.
New terms allow us to sidestep the offensive and defensive systems built
around the older terms.
let's try it out:
I don't believe that all white people participate in maintaining The
RVRAMCCPS.. but I do believe that everyday white folks.. that is.. people of
European descent, directly and indirectly benefit from the maintenance of the
RVRAMCCPS.. whether they like it or not. And I do know a few (just a few)
that do not like it. And on that same note, I also know a few of my own
people.. that is.. ppeople of African descent that have etched a place for
themselves in the north wall of the RVRAMCCPS and those folks will do
anything to keep what they have worked for.. their positions depend on the
RVRAMCCPS.. their livelihood is invested in the survival of the RVRAMCCPS..
Many of us call them Toms.. or Uncle Toms.. Malcolm called them House Negroes..
And there are countless other groups of people that, for one reason or another, participate..
directly or indirectly in the maintenance of.. and even the further proliferation
of the RVRAMCCPS.. that is.. the Ruthlessly Violent Racist Aryan Male Christian
Capitalist Power Structure.. folks like me that served in the military come to
mind.. my reasons for going were my own.. but my service was in support
of the RVRAMCCPS... I'd like to say that once I realized that I got out..
but thats not the case. I stayed.. and did what I felt I had to do
I also realize that there are millions and millions of people that are
not RVRAMCCP structuralist but serve the RVRAMCCPS anyway. Why?
because the RVRAMCCPS is the stucture that that serves as
the foundation for Western Culture.. and at some time or another,
we all have to negotiate some kind of existence with this behemoth
that is the RVRAMCCPS.. even while we simultaneously strive to, at best,
liberate our selves and our people.. and, at least, shield our selves and
our people from the physical, psychological, biological, economic, social
and political assault aimed directly at the mind, body and soul of Africans worldwide.
America was built directly on top of the RVRAMCCPS. The Native Americans are
buried in its walls. Over 100 million African men women and children are
buried in its floor and ceiling.. make no mistake.. the RVRAMCCPS is something of a tomb..
and although the outer walls are pearly white, the inside of those walls are covered in artery red blood..
and the air around it is thick with the stench of the decomposing carcasses of non-white
peoples from all across time and space..
anyway.. like I said, I know a few white folks that don't want anything to do
with the RVRAMCCPS and all of them have African spouses.. or ex-spouses..
I have met quite a few white women that were also against the RVRAMCCPS
but they were usually gay and their beef with the RVRAMCCPS had nothing
to do with my own.. it was more of a 'the enemy of my enemy is my
friend' kind of thing.. it was like they were hanging out with black folks
just until they could cut a better deal with the Ruthlessly Violent Racist Aryan
Male Christian Capitalist Power Structure.. anyway.. yeah.. thats
what I'm thinking..
