When Black people say “Black Lives Matter” who are we trying to convince that our lives matter? The Democratic Party perhaps? The “good” Whites or liberal Whites maybe? Is it the Republican party or the “bad” Whites, conservative Whites or racist Whites.
We know the conservative talking point and rebuttal to “Black Lives Matter” is to say “all lives matter.” The conservative will also feign ignorance and pretend that they think Blacks who say “Black lives matter” are saying that White and other ethnic lives don’t matter and only Black lives do. They’ll also insist that any Black activists saying this phrase are entitled to some preferential treatment when all they want is equality and justice.
So I think I have a feel for who we- or yall really, (I, personally don’t use that phrase) Black people are trying to convince. It’s the conservatives. Many of us Black people are aware of White liberal support for our right to exist without harm. So now we’re-or y’all really, just trying to convince the conservatives.
Many average joe, liberal “good” Whites have good intentions when they say and support the phrase “Black lives matter” alongside outraged and protesting Blacks. They sincerely are outraged at racism against Blacks. It might be a civilian, average joe “good” White who happens to be conservative who says and sincerely supports “Black lives matter” alongside Blacks who are sincerely outraged and dismayed by systemic racism.
But the White liberal political pundits you see on television does not have good intentions when they say or support the “Black lives matter” phrase, movement, organization, or mentality. They simply want the Black vote for their Democratic political sports team they play for. They know that we Blacks associate liberalism, progressive values, and the Democratic Party with anti-racism. They know the Democratic passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, makes us view the Democratic Party as the party for Black people and the party that’s against racism.
Even if liberal Whites aren’t aware of Democratic president Lyndon Johnson’s “I’ll have those niggers voting Democrat for 200 years” comment, after he passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964- they at least are aware of President Johnson’s accuracy in predicting the current descendants of Blacks associating the Democratic Party as an ally to Black liberation.
The Black liberal pundit that you also see on television is not for Black people and is not a Black leader. They are employees for the Democratic party. Their job is to deliver the Black vote to their employer, the Democratic Party without promising their “fellow” Blacks a tangible benefit in return. In return for them personally, they’ll get money, mainstream fame and television access, along with a condescending pat on their kinky haired dome by their Caucasian, liberal employer.
Of course the liberal Black average joe that’s not on television has good intentions. Most Black people, many of my friends and family included, believe the key to Black liberation is simply praying, voting Democrat, watching CNN and MSNBC, crying with the grieving family and friends of the slain Black victim of police brutality on television, complaining about how “they do us” and simply marching temporarily after an act of racism has occurred that the media decides to cover excessively. Average joe, liberal Blacks think the liberal Black intelligentsia are Black leaders and not the famous, well paid employees of the Democratic establishment that they actually are.
They’ll call someone like myself a radical, conspiracy theorist for telling them that Republicans and Democrats play for the same team, and simply argue over whose turn it is to step on our neck.
In a nutshell, conservatives tell you your life doesn’t matter when you ask the question of whether Black lives matter after an unjust Black death occurs and they act dismissive and insensitive about the question. This is so, regardless of whether they are famous political actors on TV or average joes.
Also in a nutshell, liberals pose the question of whether “Black lives matter.” This puts Blacks in a position of deference where we have to ask and negotiate for the right to exist without harassment or harm. The liberal Black and White political actors you see on television know this subtle mind control. Many average joe liberals however- whether Black or White, simply are unaware of this.
But lastly, in a nutshell, conscious community thinkers pose the statement- not question- of Black Matter Lives. They know the Black physical matter that our soul and conscious resides in has a high melanin content for sound and sight absorption. Black people’s selenium-centered eumelanin allows for protection against the suns ultraviolet rays while other races have a higher chance of getting skin cancer from the sun.
Conscious Black people understand the sun is heating up more now and causing spontaneous combustion and overheating of other races leading to death. The news won’t report this though. Conscious people are aware of this also. Every other race has a lower birth rate and many have a death rate that exceeds their birth rate. So in this imaginary racial existence competition drummed up in the White ruling class’ head, they have to lower the Black birth rate by placing abortion clinics in Black neighborhoods and placing fertility clinics in other races’ neighborhoods.
The quickly fading ruling class also has to increase the Black death rate by socially engineering and instigating Black-on-Black murder, sporadic police-on-Black murder, unjust jail bids for Blacks and harsher sentences for the same crimes than other races to prevent procreation, and socializing the future youth into same-sex dalliances to prevent future births.
If you’re White or another non-Black race reading this, don’t assume I’m celebrating the negative birth rate of others while celebrating the positive birth rate of us. In a perfect world, I would love to see all races prosper economically, socially, politically, culturally, spiritually, and existentially. I would love to see harmonious shared power.
But that’s just the idealism in me. The realism in me knows that is not the current reality. Since it’s not the current reality, you won’t catch me cooning and buck-dancing as a Black conservative saying “all lives matter” as an insensitive trolling comment to combat other justifiably outraged Blacks at racial discrimination.
But you also won’t catch me teaming with liberal Whites to deferentially and even obsequiously negotiate a consensus with conservative racists on whether my life matters or not.
What I will do is implore other racists of other ethnic groups to ask mother nature, God, Big Momma, Source energy, Divine Masculine and Feminine, Allah, Jehovah, Buddha, the Orishas, dieties, saints, angels, Archangels, or whatever name or spiritual entities you prefer to pray to, why your life doesn’t matter as much as Blacks since science and genetics of comparative birth and death rates have convinced you otherwise. That’s the underlying shadow reason. That’s the why. No group goes around pillaging, murdering, enslaving, mind-controlling, subjugating and mistreating a group of people just because they’re skin is different. It has to be because there is something in us that’s not in you. Do some racial shadow work.
Meanwhile, we as Black people have to stop trying to negotiate a consensus with racist and insensitive conservatives on whether our life matters, while being cradled like a baby by condescending liberals. Make the statement that Black matter lives. And know people who outwardly hate you based on race, inwardly hate themselves for the same reason.
We already know Black lives matter to us and only their lives matters to them. But they know Black matter lives. Their discrimination against you is their internal question and negotiating of a consensus to God, nature, and unfolding reality of whether their life actually matters. Asking whether Black lives matter, puts you in the slave passenger seat. Telling the world that Black matter lives puts you in the ruling class driver’s seat.
