Part I

I tend to ignore Cyn G. I no longer visit her channel, so I have NO IDEA what she says anymore outside what I hear from you or others. Same thing for the Tommys of the world, and I seldom will give much attention to what they say even when others comment about them, but I will comment this time for all the good it will do.

I don’t address her non-sense directly because frankly I don’t feel she can be taken seriously on ANY level, but it is evident that a lot of our people listen to her. Unfortunately, this is the sad state our people have been brought to.

You and I are basically within the same age range… though I’m still way older than you I’m sure, but I remember the time of the slide rule, musical groups like Earth Wind and Fire, intellectuals and activists like Malcolm X and James Baldwin, Dr. King and so on. The reason I mention everything from slide rules, to entertainers to intellectuals and beyond is that we now live in a microwave, throw away age.

We no longer have voices and talent like those I just mentioned (with VERY few exceptions). What we have now are calculators to replace pencil and paper and rulers, irradiated processed poison that has replaced home cooking that was prepared with love and attention. Musical groups that used to take up entire stages with drummers, guitar players, huge brass and string sections and men and women who could perform vocal acrobatics (WITHOUT AUTOTUNE), that could bring you to your feet… and intellectuals and activists who… from the podium, to the streets, to prison cells, (and whether we agreed with them or not) they would lay out the causes and plight of our people in well thought out, researched and logical arguments, and have substantive discussions that were for the EMPOWERMENT of our people. 

We are now confronted with an entire generation that, predominantly due to the public fool system, main stream media and now social media, no longer knows how to THINK. We seek to be TOLD what to think and shun ANY information that is contrary to our LIMITED world view. EMOTIONAL REACTIONS trump REAL FACTS and LOGIC almost EVERY TIME! Never before have people (most importantly OUR people… as frankly I couldn’t care LESS what wyt people think), become living examples of the phrase, “Shut up and stop trying to confuse me with the FACTS!”

Now we have  loose cannons like Cyn G, Tommy and their ilk running around AMUCK throughout our community using SEVERLY flawed logic, NUMEROUS logical fallacies, and non-stop HYPERBOLY and ANECDOTAL CASES and Wikipedia and “Worldstar Hip Hop” to serve as “proof” of their assertions without the power of intellect behind their claims.  Were their flawed arguments made physical and laid end to end they would reach past Pluto and into the Kuiper Belt.

Were one to take a moment to examine the issue logically they would see that for EVERY case Cyn G presents of a negative “dusty Black man” Tommy could produce a negative “ratchet Black woman” and vice versa and on and on, and on and on… point being, in the end… they cancel each other out ALONG with their own arguments.

But I guess thinking in that way, and thinking it through would be too much like, right. It’s more important to some, obviously to let their EMOTIONS and bent rule the day instead of the facts and TRUTH that BOTH of them and their kind are WRONG and supporting the SoWS. 

THESE are now the voices considered to be the “intellectuals” or “leaders” within our ranks. And they can SAY they are not “leaders” all they want… but the fact is, if you are influencing large numbers of people you ARE for better or worse, like it or not… a LEADER, and what you say and do MATTERS.  Therefore, to recklessly seek to tear entire groups apart because of one’s OWN personal hurt and pain, and to become “popular” and benefit financially is especially egregious. They say they are not “leaders” so that they can put themselves in the PLACE of leadership via their rhetoric and enjoy the PERKS of leadership, but be divorced from the RESPOSIBILTY of leadership.

As a side note:

The fact that Cyn G started out railing about the SoWS, then changed to “But the condition of our people is the fault of the Black man” to “I’m not talking about ALL Black men” to “I just mean MOST Black men”, finally landing at “99.9% of Black men” – which is to say virtually ALL”, finally gets her to where she actually WAS when she STARTED… but she just needed to GROOM her audience using the “Frog in the pot of room temperature water” method. Slowly turning up the heat little by little… until her audience finally has been cooked, and those who remained don’t even realize she has stuck the fork in because they’re DONE. (Many of us frogs… like me… could tell when the temperature went up a few degrees and hopped the hell out… QUICKLY). 

They DO NOT speak to the INTELLECT of their listeners… they speak to their EMOTIONS – and I believe they KNOW it. It is well established in the world of advertising that people do not purchase based upon logical decisions, but purely based upon emotions. The entire world of advertising and conditioning are LITERALLY built upon that premise. If you even look at the Presidential election… little to no attention is given to actual POLICY or governance… it is ALL about how you feel EMOTIONALLY about this candidate or that one, because they know if they appealed to the LOGIC of voters, very quickly they would see the whole thing is a SHAM!  Same with these Black TheyTube anti-Black woman/man GRIFTERS out here.

Same for “corona”, if you pay very close attention, it is ALL FEAR BASED… emotional… very LITTLE science and logic. We need to wear masks and stay six feet apart… but originally, they had to stick a swab ALL THE WAY up into the sinus cavity to check for it? Huh? But it can be spread by standing too close to someone? B-B-But, to test for it you need to stick something ALL THE WAY up into my sinus cavity? Why can’t I just BREATHE on the thing, or COUGH on it if it’s THAT easily spread? Uhhhhh… I digress,  (thought I would just throw that in). 

One of the greatest ironies to me is that those who stand so strongly against their own people (the “Black men ain’t S_ t, and Black women ain’t S _t camps), is that they are DIRECT products of the group they worship. Ergo: As Malcolm X so correctly posed: WHO MADE YOU HATE YOURSELF? They of course would argue that they DON’T hate themselves because they LOVE themselves and Black people of their same gender. I submit however, that it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE as a Black man to hate and or debase Black women as a demographic and not on some level hate YOURSELF, or to, as a Black woman, hate and/or debase Black men as a demographic and not on some level hate YOURSELF… because, like it or not they ARE you, and YOU are THEM… no matter HOW much they try to deny it.

The DEEPEST and most hideous irony is that the very audience she claims to be trying to “help”, the Black woman, is actually… very consciously on her part, the Black woman who are being used and abused… BY HER. She KNOWS she is speaking to emotionally distraught and damaged Black woman who have in fact, been hurt, abused, and/or victimized by Black men. Even to those who HAVEN’T, the appeal is THEN toward… “Who is in control and has the most to offer?” as if THAT should be the measure of everything… in MATERIAL terms. (By the way, I think we know that Black men in the “manosphere” use that same warped reasoning).

So… there is a playground, and the Black boys, who are for the most part, pretty upstanding and seeking to mind their own business are eating their lunches and sharing with the Black girls. Eventually there is a group of wyt bullies who show up on the playground. They steal ALL the Black boys lunches because THEY have GUNS and the Black boys don’t. The wyt boys show that they have NO qualms about using the weapon to murder the unarmed boys. So they are sitting there with all their stolen lunches. The Black boys go revolt and some are killed, others go to the school board and tell them what happened and that they need a remedy through the school which is supposed to serve ALL the students, and not ONLY will the school system NOT help the Black boys who have been victimized, but they reinforce the side of the bullies and provide them with MORE weapons. And why do they use weapons and have the power of the entire school system behind them? Because they (the bullies), KNOW that were the field ever TRULY leveled, they would not be able to beat the Black boys or take their lunches, so they see to it that everything is skewed in their favor. They ALSO make it so that the focus becomes the FOOD and not THEM. Because they KNOW they are not up to standards… so it is the FOOD they concentrate on over character or worth or anything else… they create a system where the FOOD is the standard by which all things are measured… THAT is the only system in which they can survive and thrive because THAT is the system they can… with the help of the school board… control.
