Luke Cage Loc: CONUS

Anyone with intellect knows well I do no point my finger at all white people in my commentaries, I only address racist idiots spewing their regurgitated vomit of hate. There are two emotions that drive the racist cowards seen in this forum and in America at large — paranoia and insecurity. They don’t see an inclusive American melting pot of cultures, genders, religions or beliefs as a good thing. Instead they hate and despise America with aggressive irrationality — while being unable to explain why they feel the way they do. Ultimately, it is because they resent the systems they created that today minimizes their relevancy.

My goal is that all the groups who deal with the unwarranted hate and violence from cowardly white racists find a way to fight back, to literally save America. One reason it is important to address this vile direction of escalated bigotry, misogyny and racist hate in our country is; racist whites that are speaking and acting out their insanity have no economic or cultural relevancy. With the election of that half-wit Trump to the White House, they are playing their final hand, and they have pushed their chips all in. But know this - their plans of burning America to the ground will not come to pass. People with common sense and common decency of all races, are the ones standing between these batshit crazy bigots and the abyss.

Luke, I'd agree with you, except for the fact pointed out in your writing about white racists. We'd eliminate a lot of the issues if we were to deal with unwarranted hate from racists. It appears that there is no color line with racists. They come in all colors, races, and cultures. So, you have a good point. It's just too limiting.

Well stated, Bob. I agree.

I do appreciate this cogent response based on your opinion Bob. However, do you know the definition of racism? Or the difference between prejudice and racism? In order to be a racist, one must be backed by systemic institutional and social oppression. That means that in order for me to be racist against white people in America, there would need to be evidence white people in America represent an abused and oppressed minority - there is no such evidence. I will continue to voice the absurd pain inflicted on people of color by white racists in America. My commentaries do not require validation from a white people to be considered real - in fact I have been a black man in America longer than any white person out there. Because of the arrogance racist whites possess, they are blinded from seeing this, and refuse any type of introspection. Black people in America can never be racist – we never had the tools or power to institutionalize racial oppression against whites. When a white person accuses black people of being racist – they need to check themselves.

Luke, I appreciate the time you took to clarify. Yes, I tend to use racist and prejudice interchangeably, at times. Being born and growing up, for the first 7 years in a situation where physical differences weren't important, only behavioral traits of individuals, I was completely devoid of the knowledge of either word, racist or prejudice. It wasn't until I moved to The States that I learned people disliked and mistreated people based on appearance. I was appalled then, and continue to be now.

Most of the dictionaries don't validate your personal definition of racism having a systemic requirement. Most offer that racism is prejudice or discrimination based on race.

Ergo, racism is a form of prejudice.

And yes, you are expressing quite a bit of racism on this forum.

I discovered years ago that white people are generally apologists for white racists. Not so much that most white people today share the same draconian and ignorant philosophy of racists, rather I believe the desire for a sense of camaraderie in a "debate" about 'them' (white people) versus 'us' (black people) is a principle motivating factor. Any white person that reads my posts, quickly discovers I am not in a "debate" about racism - I declare that racists have proven themselves to be ignorant bottom-feeding bigots. I also know that white people use "debating race" as a derailing tactic. When I come across a white person in a thread who wants to argue, cloud the issue, split hairs, etc., then I know that the end of the conversation will come quickly from me – period.

Social justice is not a cult; and it’s not my job to “convert” white people. White folks simply need to choose to either be a decent human being, or support the racist that reared their ugly head in America. My commentary, in terms of white people who read them, is not about sharing "opinions" or what we can learn from each other – my commentary is about what you white folks can learn from me, and you’re already behind by over four centuries. I did not receive a slow, gentle, candy-coated introduction to the pains of racism as a young black man in America. White folks shouldn’t get to either. What I find disturbing is that most people operate under the misguided notion that intelligence is all someone needs to learn something. Learning, in fact, requires additional components to intelligence; like consistent practice, research, recall, overall self-discipline, a need for the absolute truth of things and experience. White privilege conditions these aforementioned components of intelligence out of the majority of white people by the time they hit puberty.

Bottom line is that I don't need need white people to like me – when I see stupid racists cross the line (as they do daily) I call them on it - specifically to make racists (and their apologists) uncomfortable. Black people have already overcome and survived terrible oppression in this country. Contrary to popular belief - SURPRISE - we did so with an overwhelming lack of support from white people. I do not doubt my worth, will not tone down my voice, nor temper the strength of my commentary.

Dear "Luke," I think you forgot to change accounts back to "Luke" for this reply.

Thanks for not even trying to address what I said.

Keep posting!


On edit: I see you caught your mistake...too late though Mr. dhelix33.

Sure thing dhelix.

mwalsh Loc: Houston

Don't feel bad dhelix, several attic members employ sock puppet avatars. They generally get outed by making the same rookie mistake you made. Does not stop them, don't let it stop you.

Luke Cage is a great satire foil.
