My strongest conviction as to the future of the negro therefore is, that he will not be expatriated nor annihilated, nor will he forever remain a separate and distinct race from the people around him, but that he will be absorbed, assimilated, and will only appear finally, as the Phoenicians now appear on the shores of the Shannon, in the features of a blended race.

You want me to be a certain way so you can justify your anger. <BR/><BR/>I cannot control what the world does.

MF, you make some good points, and honestly, I had the exact same fight with a white poster on another site. Yet, when it comes to fairlane, I don't get that from him -that he is a racist who somehow relishes his white status in society. Don't ask why, but that's my gut. It's kind of like pornography, I know it when I see it-or in this case, feel it. <BR/><BR/>In truth, I can't see any of the regular white posters here being of that ilk. People like Ralph, Topper,fairlaine,nick stump, and jimbo et al all, seem to have their heads in the right place. At least they are trying, which is more than I can say for some others in the majority populatin who come here to spew hate and roll. Or, who come, spit some bullshit, and when challenged, they run away and never come back. <BR/><BR/>I don't get that from fairlane, he seems to get it. And when challenged, he doesn't back down. That's all you can ask for, honesty and openess in a debate.<BR/><BR/>And MF, I am not sure where you get this "talented tenth" opinion of the Spear/or Sphere. But I can assure you that's not how I approach the matter of uplifting my race. I work from the ground up my brother, not the other way around. And I will stack up my work against anybody posting here or anywhere else. <BR/><BR/>I understand that we can't all have the same backrounds and upbringing, but we can all work together, and come together for the common good.<BR/><BR/>Peace.

In this article, they went all into educational levels, and the higher the educational level, the % dating inter-racially went up exponentially. Then, they also broke it down by geographic areas...let's just say I feel for my Sistas in San Diego, San Francisco and the Pacific Northwest. <BR/><BR/>I will generalize....the educated Black women I know went into inter-racial dating kicking and screaming.

Ok. Let me deal with ya after all.First, fai...Sigh. Ok. Let me deal with ya after all.<BR/><BR/>First, fairlane, I am not interested in the inter tribal warfare of the Europeans over who got to run this worldwide system of White Supremacy. The fact that 50 million and some white folks were slaughtered in that power struggle is of little consequence to black folk. The British, the Germans, the Russians, the French, they all acted equally savage everywhere black people were.<BR/><BR/>As to the Jews, they've made the decision a long time ago to become white. They've become so with great success. That success was made possible in America because of the presence of black people. Which fact the leadership of Jewish community in the US consciously exploited. They elected to become beneficiaries of white supremacy. So fuck 'em.<BR/><BR/>http://assaultonblacksanity.blogspot.com<BR/>/2007/03/podhoretz-be-thanked-jews-<BR/>are-white.html<BR/><BR/>http://assaultonblacksanity.blogspot.com/2007/03/podhoretz-be-thanked-jews-are-white.html<BR/><BR/>moreover I do not see how the lives of six million Jews outweighs that of six million Armenians, 20 million Russians, 500 000 Gypsies, millions of Chinese, Vietnamese, or, last but not least, 150 million of more Africans.<BR/><BR/>Now, since you are a sincere white guy or girl who wants to bring justice to this world, I suggest this: Since you define yourself as white and thus have all the privileges and opportunities which the white supremacist system affords you. Since you want justice, do this:<BR/><BR/>I will send you my bank account number and you can send me all your money and sign over all of your possessions and those of your children or future children to me and my child.<BR/><BR/>Then you agree to work for me for the rest of your life for free (I will provide some room and board). You will also agree to let me lease you out. <BR/><BR/>Should you be male: I have a homosexual friend who loves white guys. You will agree to let him bugger you at any time (of course it can not cut into your work time).<BR/><BR/>Should you be female, I have another friend who has a white girl fetish. He also has bank. So, you'll screw him at anytime I need you to. I can use the money.<BR/><BR/>Also, I don't like your name. I will call you Lassie from now on. If you are a good boy or girl, I’ll let you use my last name. You’ll be Lassie Fisher then.<BR/><BR/>Since you are Jewish, you believe in the justice of the Torah - an eye for an eye.<BR/><BR/>We got a deal?Michael Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542253904917878025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-47706837080596153132007-08-07T21:08:00.000-04:002007-08-07T21:08:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michael Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542253904917878025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-85171171753090637132007-08-07T19:51:00.000-04:002007-08-07T19:51:00.000-04:00Do I know my "real" name?Honestly, I don't know. A...Do I know my "real" name?<BR/><BR/>Honestly, I don't know. And I'm not sure if I can find out.<BR/><BR/>When I tried to trace the lineage of my family many years ago, I continuously ran into dead ends.<BR/><BR/>Either their countries of origin didn't keep birth records of anyone unless they were Royalty, or at least wealthy, or because they were forced to flee their countries of origin and left behind most of their belongings and history.<BR/><BR/>What I do know is that no one in my family, at least from what I've seen, lived in this country until the mid 19th century, and most not until the late 19th or beginning of the 20th century.<BR/><BR/>I have Irish ancestors who fled Religious oppression at the hands of the English. I have German family who fled from the Nazis.<BR/><BR/>Most of my ancestors, especially the Irish and Jewish ones, were forced by the U.S. government to change their names. O'Reilly to Reilly as an example.<BR/><BR/>I do have Indian ancestors and I know for a fact that they were here long before your ancestors and the Whites, but the funny thing is, according the U.S. government they never existed.<BR/><BR/>I'm fairly certain "Stillwell" is not an Indian name. But as most of them were exterminated I can forget trying to find out who they were.<BR/><BR/>As an example of whites "doing it to themselves," I offer some of my ancestors. Dotienbier was their last name. Jewish. They had to leave their homes behind because the Nazis, for whatever reason, decided that the world would be a better place if they were not in it.<BR/><BR/>Some didn't make it out. What do you think happened to them? Do you think their skin color saved them?<BR/><BR/>The 6 million people who died in Nazi death camps are all my "ancestors." <BR/><BR/>When you couple that with the 20+ million, according to some estimates, Native Americans who were wiped out, I think I have you beat Michael. <BR/><BR/>Can you top 26+ million dead? <BR/><BR/>Those people were my family just like the family you lost. I don't know their stories, their names nothing. There place in human history just stopped.<BR/><BR/>How convenient for you to pick out one sentence among many and run with it.<BR/><BR/>I get the impression that's what you do. You look for something to get mad about, and let's be honest, it's not hard to find things is it?<BR/><BR/>I imagine Field can speak for himself, and if he thinks I'm disrespecting him or that I have "contempt" for him he can tell me to fuck off, and I will.<BR/><BR/>You seem far more "contemptuous" than I.

What I meant is that many see themselves as a class of people distinct from the "run-in-the-mill" black folk, but not necessarily via genetics. The notion of "more educated" and thus "somehow superior" black people as opposed to the "hotghettomess" black folk logically and inevitably leads to the conclusions that McCauley and Evia and Roslyn in the pic above came to.<BR/><BR/>I'm saying that thus they agree in principle though I doubt that most Afrospearians have taken the logic as far as McCauley has.<BR/><BR/>But the main point about Evia and McCauley is that they are the ultimate assimilationists. Now that is also something which I think characterizes a good bulk of the Afrospearians though they appear to do so more on a political basis rather than the biological basis which McCauley et al pursue.Michael Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542253904917878025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-22225479080979501102007-08-07T19:39:00.000-04:002007-08-07T19:39:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michael Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542253904917878025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-60369553363908444752007-08-07T19:26:00.000-04:002007-08-07T19:26:00.000-04:00Eugenics. One more time...eugenics. Michael, you s...Eugenics. One more time...eugenics. Michael, you said something about a lot of the Afrospearians feeling that they are a part of the talented tenth, and as such, they don't really disagree with Moore and McCauley. I'm not sure I agree with that. I'm not an educated person like a lot of ya'll on these black blogs, but I never caught that the sentiment of the talented tenth was that they were/are talented because they are gentically superior to the mass of black people. I may be wrong, but I never caught that. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, the issue for me is that McCauley belongs to a movement that apparently does believe that they are talented because they are genetically superior, and the AfroSpear is able to countenance that. Wow. I guues they don't want to take any chance on destroying their project through dissent, but damn. I don't care what the project is, admitting and even celebrating a eugenicist would be a deal-breaker for me. This is really astounding coming from ANY group of black people. Jesse Lee Peterson is not this extreme.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, as a plain ol' average, black guy, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for an explanation as to why it's not a deal breaker to have a eugenicist as part of the coalition. Maybe I'm just not sophisticated to understand. Can I get that explanation?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-56568413172887741982007-08-07T18:54:00.000-04:002007-08-07T18:54:00.000-04:00"I'm not making excuses for what white people did/..."I'm not making excuses for what white people did/do.

Only a fool would make such a claim.<BR/><BR/>When I say, "no two people see life the same." All you have to do is look around the "blackosphere" to see evidence of that.<BR/><BR/>I'm not talking about huge concepts such as racism, sexism, classism. I'm talking about people as individuals. What's in people's hearts. You can't know that, and this conversation proves that. I try to tell you what I'm about, but instead of respecting me, you want to tell me what I'm about because it makes it easier for you if I conform to your preconceived notions of what a "white person is."<BR/><BR/><BR/>I can't see what you see, just as you cannot see what I see. We can try through empathy, but that's the best we can do.<BR/><BR/>You want to make some kind of personal judgment about me based on generalizations. <BR/><BR/>I'm "part and parcel" of this system. So are you Michael. You think your anger is something unique? <BR/><BR/>We all grew up in this system.<BR/><BR/>What does that prove? Humans are products of their environment? Wow, what a discovery. <BR/><BR/>I'm not making excuses for what white people did/do. I'm pointing out they do it to everyone, to themselves. That's not an attempt to minimize racism at all. But when you get down to brass tacks Michael, all of us are being crushed.<BR/><BR/>I'm telling you, I see it in the white community. (And since I'm part of "Whitey's" club I think I know more about this subject than you. I mean I make sure to attend all the meetings, and I get the newsletter, "Whitey", every Tuesday. Gosh it's so peachy keen dude). I see the lifelessness in people's eyes. The capitulation and fear. Whether you have 100 rocks piled on your ass crushing you or 200 is irrelevant past a certain point because being crushed is being crushed.<BR/><BR/>This is something that unites all of us. If you don't want that then that's your personal choice.<BR/><BR/>But I see it as a point where we can see eye to eye and understand one another. If you really want change that's how it will happen.<BR/><BR/>I'm no "Liberal," Michael and I'm no apologist for the white race. When I speak I speak for myself. I'm not afraid of them nor am I afraid of you. <BR/><BR/>I rage against the shit I see every single day just as you do. What else do you want? What is it you expect?<BR/><BR/>You tell me I "benefit" from being white. Okay. So, that means I have some power you don't have. (I question that, but let's go with it). <BR/><BR/>We're both drowning, I'm a better swimmer,I'm reaching out my hand and you say, "No you're not reaching hard enough." Or "No, you're not doing it right. First you have to confess, and accept it's your fault I'm drowning."<BR/><BR/>I'm a human Michael and at some point I'm going to say, "Fuck this. Drown then. I'm going to save my own ass."<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry I can't bring the Cavalry, but the Cavalry wants to kill me too whether you understand that or not. <BR/><BR/>I originally linked to Field's post some months ago because I believed it was important for white people to listen to things they don't like or want to hear. <BR/><BR/>I can't do much more than that Michael. I don't know what power you think I have, but I can assure you I have none. <BR/><BR/>Do you not see that you are proving what Sartre said? You want to fit me in a mold, but I don't fit. Either accept it or waste your time trying to bend me to fit.<BR/><BR/>You ain't strong enough. I promise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-86603983720970791472007-08-07T16:32:00.000-04:002007-08-07T16:32:00.000-04:00Fairlane ..."No two people see life the same way.....Fairlane ...<BR/><BR/><BR/>"No two people see life the same way..."<BR/><BR/>Ok. Here's the inevitable white liberal who says that our perception of reality is only a perception. Contrary to what you are stating, fairlane, actually everybody, from the most ardent black assimilationists to the most ardent black nationalists see the world pretty much the same: Namely that we live in a white supremacist system. <BR/><BR/>If this were not so there would be no field blog, Afrospear, or even McCauley, Esha Moore, and her FASUM eugenics ladies.<BR/><BR/>The only difference it black folks reaction to that universally acknowledged truth. <BR/><BR/>Moreover, you yourself kno that the system exists and that it is universal and that you as a "white" person benefit from it.<BR/><BR/>Since you do, and you want to tell us the opposite, you reveal yourself to be a part and parcel of this system. So keep that racist confusiology at home.Michael Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542253904917878025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-84202992706576642442007-08-07T15:23:00.000-04:002007-08-07T15:23:00.000-04:00All this back and forth reminds me of Jean Paul Sa...All this back and forth reminds me of Jean Paul Sartre's play "No Exit."<BR/><BR/>If you haven't read it, you definitely should.<BR/><BR/>The play centers around three people, a man and two women, who are in Hell together locked in a room so they can drive each other insane for eternity.<BR/><BR/>The premise of the play is that "other people are Hell."<BR/><BR/>They never do what we want, never say what we want, and because of this we try and try to get them to, thereby driving them and ourselves insane.<BR/><BR/>These discussions, at least in my opinion, are symptomatic of this problem.<BR/><BR/>No two people see life the same way, and if we're honest that's what we want.<BR/><BR/>We want people to see it our way, and fuck what they think. <BR/><BR/>If "black" people just saw things the way I do then everything would be fine, and vice versa, but that's impossible.<BR/><BR/>I have no idea what's it's like being black, and the most I can do is try to speak with black people and learn from them as best I can, but I promise it ain't easy being white either.<BR/><BR/>Not that our struggles are the same, but all this shit we talk about whether it be racism, classism, war, poverty, starvation, Interracial dating, whatever it affects "us" as well.<BR/><BR/>One of the things I've noticed in my life, is that I often feel more comfortable speaking to black people in the "real." White people get upset and uncomfortable when you just lay it out, and speak from the heart. You're being "too emotional," and this is how the shit we talk about has impacted white culture. It's sterile, afraid, and like Sartre pointed out I drive myself insane trying to get them to stop, but it's pointless, and it's unfair.<BR/><BR/>People survive however they can survive. Some people get crazy and lash out while others close up inside themselves and hide.<BR/><BR/>This shit going on affects all of us and no one gets out alive.<BR/><BR/>"Whitey" may have the reins right now, but he can't figure out how to conquer death. It's still waiting for him just like it is for everyone everyone else.<BR/><BR/>And, again, believe it or not "Whitey" is my enemy and the enemy of many whites as well. We are well aware of this reality, but fuck we can't even agree with each other most of the time. We have no idea what to do about it, how to stop it or if we should even try because we're not sure if we can stop it.<BR/><BR/>It makes no difference to me if a Cop is bashing a black kid's head in because he's a "banger" or if they're bashing some white college kid's head because he had the audacity to protest this criminal government. In my mind, they are both my "people." The Underdog, the people that this Machine is crushing.<BR/><BR/>In your sidebar Field, you ask why are so many racist white people poor? It should be obvious. If poor blacks and poor whites ever said, "Hey man, we're both being fucked, and we need to do something about it." <BR/><BR/>Well, you're talking about Revolution. So, they keep the division. "It's poor black people who are tearing up this country. It's their fault. It's the Mexicans stealing your jobs, not the Corporations who can never make enough money." It's ingenuous in its simplicity. <BR/><BR/>Martin criticizes Viet Nam, oh no he can't do that, and the next thing you know he's shot down. Malcolm comes back from Mecca and starts talking about "We," and "pop, pop" he's shot down. Gandhi, the kids at Kent State, on and on.<BR/><BR/>You think that's a coincidence? The people in power know what they want, and they know what they're going to do. And while WE argue over minutiae or things we can't change they continue to tighten their grip on All of us.<BR/><BR/>I honestly believe that if WE don't make a stand soon, then it will be too late.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry I don't know what it means to be black, but I've had my share of pain in life that I could do without as well.<BR/><BR/>We are still standing, ALL of us, and that counts for something.<BR/><BR/>Doesn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-19151696806742264822007-08-07T13:38:00.000-04:002007-08-07T13:38:00.000-04:00"Acting an immature thug/pimp ass to get your reve..."Acting an immature thug/pimp ass to get your revenge..."<BR/><BR/>You are making a lot of assumptions here. First off, you don't know the content of the conversations. These women didn't react to : "Yo bitch", nor did these brothers conduct themselves that way. They made polite small talk. <BR/><BR/>Second, they weren't out to recruit women to go and sell themselves in the street and bring them money. Thus no pimping involved. <BR/><BR/>Thirdly, they didn't do it for "revenge". Revenge for what? <BR/><BR/>Lastly, at no time did I say something about any women's curiosity about big black dick (buck). That is your prejudice. What I said was that the women tended to be amazed at the brother's brazenness in ignoring the women's male companions. What that has to do with "black dick (buck)" you tell me.<BR/><BR/>What you are doing is speaking in white racist code.<BR/><BR/>Which, as I pointed out earlier makes you a racist. I consider racists asses (as in donkey). Unapologetically so.<BR/><BR/>Let me add for those who are concerned about such things. Most of these ex-GIs are now married to black women as they had planned all along. <BR/><BR/>Lstly, I did not threten you with violence. I said that if you came into my neighborhood which is black, and you would call a black woman a Mammie, she'd likely give you a beat down.<BR/><BR/>That's just a fact.Michael Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542253904917878025noreply@blogger.com
