MYTHOLOGY 101 ARE WHITE MEN SMARTER?

I know that this post will anger a few of my readers….say what, but through my intimate conversations with assorted Black folks, I’ve come to the conclusion that there are some Black people who believe that white men have super powers that are genetically-inherited with superior intellectual mind-control techniques that they use to oppress/control Black people in America. If I choose to believe these lost fools, it is their belief that white men are capable of controlling the minds of Black people, and we aren’t able to resist their mind control, and nobody can control them because everybody else is under their spell too, hypnotized by their . . . whiteness I guess. Hum….? It is beginning to seem to me that this small percentage of Black people believes that white men possess the proper genetics to rule the world. These same white men believe that they will accomplish their mission because of their superior intellect, secret societies, and agendas passed down from white folk to white folk, and know the minds of Black folks and to beat us at our own game. This is some sad shit, because most Black people believe in the myth of white supremacy but they don’t have a clue that they do. Most Black people say color doesn’t matter and sign on hook, line, and sinker for any cliché that white people throw at them. Most Black people wouldn’t know how to question the status quo if you paid them. That’s not because we are inherently stupid, it’s a byproduct of our enslavement where we were taught not to question white people or anything they tell us. White folks want us Black people to believe in the myth of white supremacy, or they might get those pesky ass Niggers like me who try to buck the system and talk about racism and the privileges white people have simply by virtue of their skin color! They don’t want that do they? Check this out….white people (the smallest population of people on the earth), have been able to order, control, dominate, oppress, and manipulate the earth’s resources so that they control and own damn near everything. I say the myth of white supremacy discreetly because it is nothing more than illusion. It’s a myth that they are superior; it’s not a myth that they have been able to take their overblown belief in self and transform that into global domination. Does average white Joe or Sally believe that they are better than Black people? Yes, that’s how the game is made to last. White Joe or Sally has to believe that history started with their appearance on this planet, and that white people are the originators of the arts and sciences. They have to believe that whites made every last technological advancement. If they don’t sign on for the belief that whites were smarter, stronger, more capable, more civilized, more refined,
more God-like than any other people, then their whole house of cards starts to fall. I really don’t give a personal damn what you think of me or my posts, but I’m gonna keep tellin the truths other Black folk are scared to say. I ain’t scared! I actually watched FOX NEWS this morning for two painfully consecutive hours and ….. white folks actually believe that there is something inbred about them that makes them better, that makes them more deserving of peace, justice, and liberty than anyone else on the planet. They think God is a white man, therefore white men have more insight, more leadership ability, more spiritual stuff, right? The air white people breathe has to be more sacred, the land they live on has to be more consecrated, more blessed, and more protected than anyone else’s land. Greece has to be the birthplace of the humanities, Columbus has to be the greatest explorer, Shakespeare has to be the best composer, Rocky has to be the best fighter, and Jesus has to have blue eyes and blonde hair. White people believe this shit to be true from the time they are born in order for the myth of white supremacy to thrive. White has to be right or the entire myth of white supremacy crumbles like a crunchy taco shell at an all you can eat Mexican buffet. Ever watch the news right after some white person has gone on a killing spree and killed everyone they could? The neighbors all say the same thing. “Oh, he was so nice. You just don’t think something like that can happen in our neighborhood.” That, my Black friends, is the myth of white supremacy at work. It is the belief that crime only happens in Black neighborhoods. It’s the belief that Crazy Herman, as everyone in the neighborhood calls him, is a good ole boy regardless of the fact that he kills the neighborhood cats, and drinks their blood because he has white blood. You see, whiteness equals good in this society. It’s what our Black children are taught in school, it’s what’s reflected in the media, it’s the thread that’s woven into the very fabric of our lives. Hum..? White men who get to decide what is and what isn’t racist comes purely from the myth of white supremacy. It’s the notion that they don’t have to consider anyone else’s experience or perspective because what they see, and think, and believe has to be right. Are there secret societies that have been formed to keep Black people oppressed? Hell yes! Do those men have super abilities, do they have access to mind control techniques that keep Black people hypnotized? Not exactly! What these secret societies have are members who are egotistical, greedy, racist, and intent on keeping their illegitimate power. Their ego comes from the belief that white men are special, that they have rights and privileges no one else is deserving of. Their ego is what drives them to steal, rape, kill, and oppress. These white guys are narcissistic bastards who sit around and try to figure out ways to control the money and power so it doesn’t get in the hands of Black people. It’s their ego that makes white men think that they have more fundamental value than Blacks, and that’s created their false sense of superiority. Where did this sick sense of self originate? How did white people come to believe that they had authority over the Black people of the planet? I have no idea. I can’t even begin to speculate. I do know that it has infected every country, every place white people have been for thousands of years. What I can do,
however, is tell you how the myth of white supremacy has been able to flourish and spread in this country over the last 400 years. There’s no magic to it, there’s no genetics involved, there’s no secret social agenda, its purely psychological. Understanding the mind and how it works holds the key to understanding how and why white people in this country have been able to dictate and dominate the minds of Black people for over four centuries. Europeans saw the beautiful black skin of the people, of the land that is now known as Africa, and believed that Black Africans were inferior savages. These white men assumed they were basically superior to the African’s, and that is was their right to capture, kill, kidnap, enslave, and own our people. Those beliefs and what they thought was truth, knowledge, and undisputable fact, is what created the system of slavery in America that has been unmatched in the world before or since. They believed that their skin was better, their hair was better, their features were more attractive; they believed that their language, arts, customs, religion, and practices had more legitimacy than anything our ancestors could contribute. They had, and still have a deep-seated need to control, subjugate, and crush the will of Black people. Africans who were enslaved, survived the middle passage, and were and transported to the United States, were emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually healthy people. They were capable of making choices and decisions on their own, had wonderful lives, formed their own opinions, and knew what it was to be a human being. Slaves born in this country, those who never knew freedom, were never privileged enough to know anything other than what the system of slavery taught them. Slaves born into a racist system believed from birth that whites were superior, that Blacks were inferior, and that anything and everything that was good was white. Every Black child born into slavery learned the same lessons, that white was right and that Black was equivalent to the most vile evil. Every white child born in this country is the beneficiary of being born in a system that tells them that every thing about their life, their world, their entire existence that they are superior to Black people. The popularity of racism, the system, laws, and beliefs allowed during slavery set the stage for every white child to not only believe they were superior but it was confirmed (at least in their minds) because anything and everything of accomplishment was achieved by white people. Hold on now…. let me fast forward; the beliefs held by the children of slave owners and the children of white people in general, whether they owned slaves or not, have been passed down from generation to generation. The key tools in building a child’s self esteem are to shower them with praise and reinforce to them that they have worth. Having books, and TV shows and movies that show white children people that look like them builds a sense of self. Reading children stories where all the heroes are white preserves the myth of white supremacy. Teaching children that God in heaven looks like them validates that white is the standard by which everything else has to be measured. White children, never having to read a book about Black people, never having to hear a story of Black accomplishment, never conceiving that anyone other than white people contributes anything to society, grow up with an inherited and false
sense of superiority. White children never have to wait until the one night of the week when the “white shows” are on, they never have to wait for the latest Tyler Perry blackface to come out. Hum? So while Blacks have inherited and passed down a slave mentality (even though we don’t acknowledge or admit it), whites have passed down a slave master mentality. Slave master mentality is the mindset of white people who have never once had to question that people like them have been the masters of finance, industry, medicine and the arts. Slave master mentality is the mindset of people who have never once in their lives felt that their skin color was a liability, something that they had to denounce in order to be accepted. Slave master mentality is the systems passed down from generation to generation that allows white people to accept that the final authority, the last word, is going to come from a person who looks like them. It’s that diseased sense of self, that inflated racist super ego that has created Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, Glen Beck, etc. It’s what lead ol school racist Pat Buchanan to say, and believe, that this country was built by white men. It’s that isolation from a world where Black people are equal, which creates the ego of white people who think that it’s okay to be racist, that they can say whatever they want, to whomever they want, without repercussion, without criticism because they have a birthright to do so. The myth of white supremacy is maintained on the beliefs of white men who think that they have more right to money, power, and control than anyone else. While I recognize and acknowledge that the mindset of white people in this society, even those who claim to not have a racist bone in their body, is based on the myth of white supremacy, it is just that . . . a myth. White people are not truly superior; they have no super ability to understand the minds of Black people and mastermind techniques to keep us oppressed. What keeps us oppressed is our inability to understand and comprehend our history, our inability to be thoughtful and examine our dysfunctions and their origins, and our fear of admitting that we might be flawed. It is far easier for us to worship a blonde haired, blue eyed Jesus, than to change the belief that we’ve learned from childhood, passed down to us from our parents, and their parents and their parents before them, that Black is ugly and bad. What keeps the white boys in power is their belief that they are superior. They believe it, so they behave in ways that reflect their beliefs. They start wars, they dictate and manipulate, and they work diligently to keep Black people from taking their power. They stop us from becoming equal partners because their parents taught them that white people have more value. Even if the message isn’t overt, even if the message doesn’t come from behind the softness of a white sheet, the result is the same. Any white child born in this society is the beneficiary of an educational, medical, judicial, legal, and social system that has placed whiteness on a pedestal, deserving of worship and praise. When white people try to silence any discussion of racism, it’s because they believe that they have a right to say what’s valid, what’s true, what’s right in the world, that no other experience other than their own has weight. They see the world through white colored glasses. In that world, everything comes back to the fact that they have been validated, reinforced,
and reminded every single solitary day of their lives that white people are great. They’ve never once had to live in a time or place where white people are not seen as the origin of everything good in the world. So in order for white people, the few elites who do have global power and control, to remain in power, for them to maintain the status quo, Black people have to be complicit. There has to be a population of Black people who believe that there are white men who possess super-human, secret powers to control and dominate Black people. (Listen to the Black contributors on FOX NEWS) Once we accept that the myth of white supremacy is based on nothing more than the self-centered and childlike behaviors of men with inflated egos who have the same flaws, weaknesses, and vulnerabilities as everyone else, then and only then can we start restructuring a world where everyone is equal. Rush Limbaugh and Dick Cheney will no longer be secret society masterminds, but be outed as the bad ass little boys who were told over and over that the Lone Ranger was good and that the injuns were bad. It is in truth and understanding that we see them as individuals who were told that God was a white man and that they were literally created in his image and likeness. Understanding that illusion is the key to our liberation, the myth of white supremacy can be dismantled and destroyed with knowledge of self, re-writing our stories to include Black people, and dismantling the notion that white men are somehow in possession of tools that will allow them to control us.
