Riada said:Once again, I have to agree with much of what you say re ‘survival' of the fittest’ because as a student of nature, I know that there is no morality or ‘rules’ in nature that mean anything if they don’t enhance survival.
If I’m interpreting you correctly, you apparently subscribe to a philosophy that many Black people shun. Whether Black people believe in the teachings of Christianity, Islam, ATR’s, etc., most Black folks have a wide streak of morality embedded in them, meaning that Blacks constantly grapple with concepts of—good vs evil, right vs wrong, etc. and tend to think and live their lives in that manner. That is crystal clear even from many of the posters on forums at Destee’s. I’ve always noticed that most Black people are much more concerned with what will happen to them after death than they are with what happens to them during life. Black cultures and societies throughout the world share this intense focus on preparing for a good quality afterlife (death) vs a good quality life in the present. Thus Blacks, in general, are more moral people.
However, most white people are more concerned with this life in the present—winning in this life and doing anything and everything to win in the here and now. To succeed at this, they’ve apparently decided to win on the backs of any group of vulnerable nonwhite people—Black people and every other group that can’t or won’t protect itself. In other words, white people don’t care which nonwhite group they have to “eat” if it will put them and their offspring in a better position to survive on a high level. White folks, in general, tend to be immoral or amoral.
This difference underlies the essential difference between culturally white people and culturally Black people.
There are some Black people who don’t share that streak of morality that many Black folks embrace. I think that Russell Simmons and others Blacks like him represent that group. They have made a decision to win in this life, regardless of what they have to do. So I think that he and other Blacks like him had to figure out who could they use to win. I’m sure it didn’t take Russell Simmons long to figure out that Black women and children were the most vulnerable and unprotected large group in the vicinity.
The Russell Simmonses of the world are always going to win on the backs of other vulnerable and unprotected people. I'm not judging him because in nature, judgments are useless if that's all victims do.
Therefore, I think that any person needs to work hard to move into a less vulnerable, or more protected position. If your family or group is complacent and is comfortable being victims, then I think that the individual needs to find likeminded others or allies because if you remain vulnerable or unprotected, it won’t be long before the white or Black or some other ‘wolf is knocking at your door.’
BTW, do you have a website?
Shalom Riada,
Thanks for your comments. Your interpretation of what I said is right on target. I will add one thing though. You said, “they’ve apparently decided to win on the backs of any group of vulnerable nonwhite people”. While that is true, it is also true that it is not limited to “nonwhite” people. Remember they have fought many wars against each other, and still force their will on each other, such as in the case of Ireland. However, as any thinking person knows, it is much better to attack a weak target than to attack a strong target. Many “white” countries soon learned that most “nonwhite” countries were easier targets than the “white” countries, and had more to offer – so hence the invasion of the “nonwhite” countries by the “white” countries. Would you have done any differently? Africans were brought to America and made slaves because they were easy targets, not because they were Black. Black people have the distinction of being the only people on the planet passive enough to be made slaves for hundreds of years. And they topped that distinction by remaining in servitude to their former slave-master’s children. And now, today, look at what counties have the weapons, and what countries they are trying to keep from having the weapons – and the children of former slaves contribute to that by lending their support by way of paying taxes, joining the military, working certain jobs, being passive, etc. “White supremacy” exists because “nonwhite” people allow it to exist. Not only do they allow it to exist, they actually, physically and financially, support it.
You said it so right and plain when you said, “Therefore, I think that any person needs to work hard to move into a less vulnerable, or more protected position. If your family or group is complacent and is comfortable being victims, then I think that the individual needs to find likeminded others or allies because if you remain vulnerable or unprotected, it won’t be long before the white or Black or some other ‘wolf is knocking at your door.’” BTW – I do have a website – it’s “yahovah.org”.
Liberation begins at home.
I'll be free, I'll be free,
And none shall deny,
With fetters and chains,
This spirit of mine.......
By any means necessary
Peace, Blessings
