Failure to recognize By: Walter Beach

Race is the most interesting theory whereby white people most easily coalesce. It’s the most Common invalidating characteristic; more so than religion, nationality, ethnicity, class, age and gender. The hegemony, what I called the Euro-intellectual orientation of Western thought is diabolical and brutal in matters race. The collective psychopathic mine of Western thought is predicated on exclusion, indulgence, tolerance and ultimately indemnification. This hegemony is sustained by four powerful myths. 1 that this system is the only thing that exists 2 it is innately superior to other systems 3 knows and understands everything and 4 it is possible to be totally logical, rational and object.*”When Society Becomes An Addict” Anne Wilson Schaef. The undeniable thrust of Ms. Schaef’s book outlines the Reflective Black System, T he Original Sin of Being Born Black.

In order to survive with in it, we must adjust our language, values, thinking and the way we view the world. We must deny our own personal power in order to gain a modicum of acceptance. This hegemony invites us to compromise our personal morality at every turn. Furthermore, it gives us all the tools we need to do so. Self-centeredness, the illusion of control, abnormal thinking processes, denial, defensiveness, fear, and each of the other characteristics of that system are handed to us as a way to avoid being moral, responsible persons. It silences ‘The Voice’ inside that speaks the truth. On a national and collective level we come to believe that what we do is right because we do it. The level of negative energy directed toward anyone who attempts to resist or challenge racism or white supremacy is most vehemently attacked by some black. Some Blacks are accustomed to submission and acclimated to the comfortable seduction of inadequacy!
Every major index on quality of life in the United States Black people experiences the bottom. Black wealth in the United States in 2015 is the same as it was in 1660. White wealth today in 2015 is 100 X greater. 80% of white wealth is based on inheritance. A greater percent of white wealth returned to their community; a smaller percent of black dollars returned to their community. * Sweet research report*

There are no power economic institutions where blacks pool their resources and invest in themselves to create a better way for other Blacks! Every Monday religious organizations deposit 57 million dollars into banks, not black banks or banks that take on a serious responsibility to help the black community. Every Monday Black politicians codified laws that have very little impact on the condition of the collective Black population. Many Black children go to inferior and or inadequate schools. Every Monday Black youth are shot by policemen at a higher rate than any other group in the United States. Every Monday Blacks are incarcerated at a higher rate than any other group. Every Monday Blacks receive inadequate health care at a higher rate than any other group.
All actions produce consequences and they are all different. There are many worlds and they are all different. Where people are respectful, intelligent, civil, compassionate or honorable that is a certain world. Where people are disrespectful, arrogant, abrasive, ignorant, insensitive that is a different world. Each is a certain world!
I would urge Black people to see the truth of the situation they are in. However it is not for me to tell Black people what they should have done or should not have done. The world which they seek to undo the mistakes that were made is different from the world where the mistakes were made. Black people are now at a dreadful crossing (so-called integration) and want to choose a more beneficial existence. There is no choosing there is only acceptance, the choosing was done alone time ago.
Reflection is necessary to make sense of our world and gain spiritual and intellectual insight, otherwise life will always remain just a potentiality it will never become a reality. The extinction of all reality is a concept no resignation can encompass. Black people cannot live life unconsciously. There is a conscious self in every human being. Reflective people often find themselves at a place removed from the realities of the world; in any case we should all prepare a place where we can, accommodate all the tragedies that will sooner or later come into our world but this is an economy that few people care to practice. Black people continue to deny the reality of the world in which they live.
All the grand designs and all the plans will be finally expose and reveal for what they are. Life is a part of a cold blooded art, even the law is corrupt, the strong don’t cry and downs don’t die, no matter how bitter cup!
