One question at as time. Part of dismantling the SYSTEM of raqcism (white supremacy) requires understanding how it works and not lieing to yourself about how it works. It is like reading a map...the first thing you have to find out is where you are on the map and then you find out your destination and then you find the most logical route to get from where you are to your destination. And you can't lie to yourself about where you are or you'll never get to your destination.FaithSoulSistah said:SMH. You did not answer any of my questions. You two probably don't realize it but everything I've seen you post in this thread is about praising white people for being "supreme". Now you are going on about white definitions. Enough! How do WE dismantle the system? Do you even see how stuck you are? Can you focus on the solution at all?
You say I am allowing white people to do my thinking for me, yet you and James are fighting tooth and nail to perpetuate the same thing that white people do. The thought that they are "supreme". The fact that I acknowledged the system of racism is just not enough. So tell me if you get every black person on the planet to proclaim that whites are "supreme", then what? Because if that is all there is, it is no different from the racist propaganda that whites themselves perpetuate to degrade black people.
Btw, I have the counter-racism weblink in my signature on another forum. But I'm going to remove it because this is not the defeatist message I want to spread to my people. While everyone may not know the extent of the problem, I don't want them to get an understanding of it only to give up or get stuck. Chatting with the two of you has shown me that the message really has the potential to do more harm than good.
No one is praising white people. The warden of the prison is the warden of the prison. Just because I say the warden of the prison is the warden of the prison I'm not praising the warden...that's just the warden. And the prisoners are subject to the warden...it doesn't matter how luxurious the prison cells are...HDTV's...leather couches...it is still a prison cell.
We have been so abused mentally and physically that as soon as we point to the people who are responsible for abusing us and say that they are mistreating us on the basis of color all over the planet and have killed millions of us and concocted diseases and spread those diseases all around us and in us and by doing so have made us subject to them and made themselves powerful over us and so some of us begin to blame the people who are responsible for this horrible crime against us...others say we are praising them because we say they have positioned themselves into a supreme military position over us because of all of the haenous acts that have perpetrated against us?
We are truly poisoned. If you no longer want to speak on the subject that is not a problem for me but I ain't never gonna stop talking about replacing the SYSTEM of racism (white supremacy) with a SYSTEM of justice until we are in a SYSTEM of justice. If you change your mind and want to compare notes about the things you have found that works against THEM let me know.
