Black People : ''Racism'' / ''White Supremacy''... Fact or Fiction?

To JFP, appreciate your candor.

To Jahari Kavi, thank you as well for your initial response. However, your second offering really got my attention... you wrote:

''this is the type of convo a white hippie brings up, lol. It's the same argument socialists use when they say class is more important than race. Last I checked they brought us here to America, because of our skin.....''

Let me say, Jahari, Lokman is a simple man, and not very educated. So this is truly an honor. You see, rarely does Lokman get the opportunity to learn from someone of your acumen and intellect. So, when you are through (''lol'') if it's not to much to ask, can you take the antithesis of my argument and advance a thesis of your own for the audience here. It is sure to be a moment that Lokman & the family will never forget. (Oh! And when you're done, maybe you will be kind enough to answer a simple question for me as well.) Looking forward to a really great read from you. Thank you in advance.

How are you, my friend? Lokman will try to answer your question in due course. However, you may prefer to be patient... and give Jahari all the time he needs to render my rationale and reasons irrelevant. As you'll see, he is very very good.

Be well, Clyde, glad you dropped by.


Benefits and Bounty to All,

Lokman

I wasn't trying to call you a hippie, but

They are like punctuation and periods in a paragraph - false dogmas
of diversion - tactical constructs, conversation and cannon fodder for
human consumption.

They are neither the system nor the source of what really ails a given
people the world over. No sir.


when you say things like that it's easy to see why I came to my conclusion. How can you say that "racism isn't a system that ails a given people over the world", when the African diaspora is directly effected and oppressed, because they are in fact "African?" I've heard the argument you're giving from white folk before, that try to use the old "the system wants to keep all of us at each others throats," like they're the victims of racism or that they don't contribute to the system itself...................so yes my answer remains to be "no" I don't agree with you. There's really no "thesis" for me to give on the subject matter, lol
 
Jahari: ''I wasn't trying to call you a hippie...''

Lokman: Understood, no harm done. (Smile.)

Jahari:''when you say things like that it's easy to see why I came to my conclusion.''

Lokman: On the contrary, it's not easy to see. Which brings us back to the topic on the table. In other words, what you have here, Jahari, is a golden opportunity to make your case. That's all!


Jahari: ''How can you say that "racism isn't a system that ails a given people over the world", when the African diaspora is directly effected and oppressed, because they are in fact "African?"

Lokman: Is this: proof of your position - your body of evidence that proves racism is a system - your refutation of my argument - your best thesis? For the record, please confirm.

Jahari: ''I've heard the argument you're giving from white folk before...''

Lokman: We shall see if you have ever heard Lokman's argument before. And you will be given every chance to prove it!


Regards,

Lokman
