International African Unity, or DIE!

PAIDS VS African Unity and Determination

“When President Obama commits this nation to war against the Islamic terrorists, as he already has in Afghanistan, he will take millions of previously alienated and disaffected Americans with him, and they will support our troops in a way that most of his party has refused to support them until now..…” David Horowitz

So where is the anti-war movement? Oh, yeah, they're all busy defending Obama's use of unmanned drones against babies in Pakistan.

Anyone who can analyze problems with the anti-war movement ought to be able to break down the real problems inside the black community. What David Horowitz says about President Barack Obama taking “previously alienated and disaffected Americans with him”, has to do with a great many factors. However the question is, if Obama does not concern himself with fixing one single problem inside the black community, do white liberals wrongly feel he will solve their problems?

The hypocrisy of the Left and the black middle class gives us a result which revolutionary thinkers characterize as “opportunism”. When Obama chastised black fathers at last year’s Fathers Day, that should have been a warning sign of his treachery. Unlike Chris Rock, who doesn’t discriminate when taking folks thru the wringer, Obama has yet to make himself heard on the racist problems in his country.

PAIDS: Politically Acquired Ideological Deficiency Syndrome. It doesn’t just apply to Africans.

The (white) left says that it is ultra-left to call for plant takeovers while the government has given nearly $2 trillion to rich white bankers. The white left wants revolution everywhere except where they are.

White workers identify Obama as the problem simply because they have false consciousness based in a color theory of social contradictions. For the most part, in other words, white workers are just plain ole racist.

The black middle class abandoned any type of analysis long ago. They don’t even bother to develop any thinking on any issue whatsoever. College and university educated, low income whites have more assets in they pockets than the average middle class black family. They don’t do any qualitative thinking yet wonder why our community, including they themselves in particular, have become totally dependent upon Imperialism.

Liberalism, the mother of opportunism, makes its objective the watering down of revolutionary class consciousness. In the US, the revolutionary classes are those producing classes within the colonized communities. Typically located in the Barrio, the Ghetto and the Reservation, neoliberalism is concerned with dispersing these enclaves.

By scattering black workers thru out the colonizer communities, the Imperialist system can not only water down black electoral power, it has the ability to merely destroy other forms of power as well. Fighting discrimination in housing and employment will lose effectiveness; whatever role the black church has left will become insignificant.

Imperialism seems intent on cultivating a colony of Clarence Thomases, Stanley Crouches, and Condoleeza Rices. All this shall accelerate under the Obama Administration.

In fact, those communities which remain enclaves of black political power will themselves become communities of resistance. There, the effects of racism in employment, housing, health, law enforcement and other areas will remain blatant. Watering down colonialism, diluting it, makes it less invisible.

Racism focuses oppression and exploitation on a nationality. During slavery and Jim Crow, concentrated class oppression outlawed freedom and literacy. Racism legalized lynching, slavery, debt peonage. During my generation, racism manifested itself in “designer” legislation such as the Rap Brown Act, disparities in criminal sentences, and dismissal of murderous police in jury trials. Racism invented the redline and the gerrymander; today it has refined those practices in the adjustable rate mortgage and regentrification.

We can fight for these things for our community, or else gripe about it and lay the blame at the feet of the victims. No bleeding heart need apply when we need a community of resistance. We need committees of resistance to start. The process begins with education, not education of the self but collective education. Working together for an end. Not this anarchy. All pull together!
