Black People Will Be Eating Lab Grown Meat Soon
Black people will be eating lab grown meat soon. If you haven’t heard, the FDA has recently approved Lab Grown Meats as being safe for human consumption in the United States. This means that while most people will choose to avoid it because they either fear it or don’t like the idea of artificially sourced foods, it will be forced on Black people in covert ways. This is not conspiracy or a plan to kill off Black people; its just Capitalism at work.
Scientists have been experimenting with producing meats of various sorts in laboratories for decades. As the technology improved, so did the quality of the meat. The real breakthrough came with the introduction of Stem Cell Technology. Now scientists are able to grow large portions of meat that looks, feels, and tastes like real meat from animals. The only thing left now is to convince society that Lab Grown Meats are safe to eat.
Stem Cell Technology involves taking specific cells from the developing Embryo of an animal and growing those cells in a laboratory. Those cells will never grow into an animal because they are only the cells of the specific tissue of the animal, such as the muscles. As the cells grow and multiply, they are infused with proteins, fats, sugars, vitamins, and minerals. If you’re asking yourself; “what about the Blood that gives most meats a red color?” well, you can count on food dye for that.
Eating Lab Grown Meats might sound dangerous but society has been consuming Genetically altered foods for a very long time. GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) is the term that was given to foods that are grown after their DNA was altered. Such alterations are done to make foods either grow faster, grow in atypical environments, or more resistant to disease, pesticides, insects, and other pests. The top 6 GMO foods people eat and don’t realize are; Soy, Corn, Canola Oil, Sugar, and Milk so the next time you go to the grocery store, read the labels.
If you don’t want to eat Lab Grown Meats, what is the solution? Black people can avoid Lab Grown Meats by doing several things. The 1st solution is to read meat labels at the grocery store because, until LGM becomes widely accepted and consumed in society, white people will demand to know where and how it is sold. The 2nd solution involves giving up Fast Foods, which are often highly processed. That means that the meat they use contains a lot of fillers such as Fat and Soy.
The 3rd solution is to go Vegetarian, Vegan, or any one of the other labels given to people who don’t eat meat. The same vitamins and nutrients that are found in meats can also be found in most vegetables. All we have to do is get over the meat-loving propaganda that society constantly pushes. The 4th solution to avoiding the coming Lab Grown Meat agenda is to get into government and help to implement food policies in society.
There is a very good reason why most of the Black people who are in government don’t fight to change policies that they know will disproportionately affect the Black community. That reason is indifference. A good example of indifference can be observed in the American Hispanic community when it comes to Hispanic migrants. Most of them are fully on board with white supremacist policies to keep new Hispanic migrants out.
The #1 reason for their indifference is that they don’t want to jeopardize their own position as established Americans. This is the same reason why Black politicians don’t rock the boat. The 5th and most sensible solution to avoiding Lab Grown Meats is to set up food distribution networks with Black Farmers. This will require self-discipline, unity, and sacrifice but it could work.
The best example of a minority group of people controlling their food from the farm to the table are the Asians but while there are more Black farmers than Asian, there aren’t as many major Black-owned supermarkets. This forces Black farmers to conform to the regulations of the distribution networks. In other words, it means that if the distributors stop buying meat from Black farmers, they will be forced to cut or stop cattle farming.
Make no mistakes about it, Lab Grown Meats will find their way onto the breakfast, lunch, and dinner plates of Black Americans in a few months. Some Black people will avoid it, some will view it as a conspiracy and sign of Revelations, and some will stand in line for hours at McDonalds, Popeyes, KFC, and other fast-food joints waiting to get a taste of their new irresistible Lab Grown Meat Burgers. If you don’t want to eat Lab Grown Meat then start implementing your own evasive solutions now.
Respect to the Not Fucking Around Coalition (NFAC)
As a Black person looking in from the outside, I say respect to the NFAC Black Armed Militia for bringing much needed muscle to the Civil Rights movement in America. Its time to end the political, legal, and social hypocrisies that racists are using to oppress Black Americans.
There exists a deep hypocritical chasm in America. The scope of this hypocritical chasm can be likened to an actual chasm such as the Grand Canyon. This chasm opened as a result of the immoral nature of humans to enslave and exploit each other. Slavery ended in America 150 years ago but instead of coming to their senses and work to heal racial injustice against Black Americans, white racists have prolonged racism using politics, economics, and Law enforcement.
Hypocrisy is defined as a pretense of having a virtuous or moral character when you actually don’t. Hypocrisy can therefore be applied to all aspects of human behavior. Racists operate hypocritically by implementing policies that limit the ability of Black Americans to participate in the political system. They operate hypocritically in the courts by punishing Blacks more harshly than whites for the same crimes. They operate hypocritically in business by promoting whites with less qualifications over Blacks and the list goes on.
Black Americans have been fighting to live according to the same Rights as white Americans since the end of Slavery. Over that time Black Americans have had to fight for every Right they’ve gained due to the continued hypocritical and racist actions of a small but powerful group of whites. The power of these racist whites grew out of animosity over losing their political power to the North after the Civil War.
So, not only did they infiltrate and take over the Republican party, they formed Militia groups under the pretense of protecting themselves against the enormous power of the federal government. Every so often we see these white Militia groups in the news intimidating politicians who pass laws that they don’t like or that encroach on their Right to Bare Arms. When Black Americans protest injustice and police brutality white Militias also come out and try to intimidate Black people because most Police officers are also members of white Militias.
Well on July 4th 2020 America witnessed something they had never seen before. Hundreds of heavily armed Black men and women began to march in military formation along a road in Georgia. Their destination was Stone Mountain, the headquarters of the KKK, the most notorious terrorist group in American history. When most people saw the NFAC Black Militia they didn’t know what to think but the answer was simple; they were a Militia, a group of armed citizens with rights under the U.S Constitution to gather in defense of their community. Unlike most Militias we see in the media today comprised of white racists, this Militia was all Black.
The leader of the NFAC knows the Law and Constitution and how to use it effectively against racists and their hypocrisy. NFAC members are self-disciplined, well trained, and determined to carry out their mission of defending the Rights of Black Americans just like the white Militias. I’ve always said; the more we develop pride in our Race it’s the more we will be willing to sacrifice our freedom and our life for our Race. The longer we wait to take our place as a self determinate Race, our children will continue to suffer at the hands of racists.
I’m sure that racists in government, intelligence agencies, law enforcement, and our own jealous Black people who believe that they are not Afrakan are hard at work devising strategies to take down the NFAC. They will use technicalities in the Law, infiltration and sabotage, and misinformation in the Black community to sew fear against associating with the NFAC. They will use unconscious Desire Dependent Black people to frame NFAC members and they will try to limit information about the organization by threatening to defund Black Media.
Black people want the same things in life as any other race of people. Most of all, we want to be happy. However, life has shown us that happiness is nothing without Fairness, Equity, and Accountability. That is why no matter what country we exist in our happiness is always compromised by unethical people. The Heru Interface of Black Consciousness supports anyone who stands for Ethics over Hypocrisy. That is why we respect and support the initiatives of the NFAC.
How to Make the World a Better Place
There is an enormous sense of pessimism in the world today. Countries are at war against each other over land and resources, terrorists are killing innocent people in order to fulfill their warped political and religious ideologies, racist leaders are stoking the flames of racism in order to expand their personal power and influence, and unethical people are destroying nature and the environment for quick profit over a healthy future for the young. The whole situation has become a thousand pound weight on the minds of every conscientious person in the world; many of whom are searching for answers on how to make the world a better place.
The world is messed up because those in power have indoctrinated everyone with their unethical ways of life. Everyone must either adapt or perish at the hands of the unethical. Those corrupt ways of life include; corrupt religions, devilish cults, and unethical humanist beliefs. The world can become a better place but only for those who are willing to think out of the box. We have an ethical solution but it will require a dramatic shift in human thinking. This new way of thinking does not have anything to do with religious belief, cultism, or the exclusivity of secret societies. It is inclusive of all races and genders while being respectful of everyone’s role as members of the human family.
There are those among the human family who believe that human development is travelling along a linear path and that history started with them. When anomalies appear in their theories, they often dismiss those anomalies as fake. Take for instance the anomaly of the Dogon tribe of Mali. The Dogon tribe are known to possess extensive knowledge of the heavens even though they are considered a primitive tribe. Instead of embracing this knowledge, self-righteous historians dismiss Dogon knowledge as cross-contamination from early European explorers.
Making the world a better place will require the inclusion of historical knowledge from Afraka, the oldest inhabited continent on Earth. Historians often try to fool us but we know that current human history is extrapolated based on theory and belief. Secular society extrapolates history based on science and religion extrapolates history based on ideology. That is why we know that the best way to make the world a better place is by adopting the principles of the HERU Interface.
The HERU Interface is a new operating system for human consciousness. Humanity has always operated according to operating systems. Basic operating systems are known as customs while major operating systems include religion, atheism, and spirituality. All operating systems are designed to provide meaning and a sense of purpose to people’s lives. When these operating systems become corrupted by the instincts of life such as desire and fear, inequities in society will increase. The key to controlling our basic instincts therefore is to increase the strength of our conscience.
HERU is the name of an Egyptian god. Most people associate HERU with the prolific Eye of Heru symbol that they see as representing a state of awareness or consciousness. To us the Eye of Heru is not just a cool looking symbol, it represents the 6 basic human senses which are; sight, smell, touch, taste, hearing, and intuition. Professor Momoh of the Dohgon University of Thought has re-branded the word HERU as an acronym to mean Highest Exponential Reasoning and Understanding. The word HERU is therefore a way of deciphering reality using the full power of one’s Brain and Mind.
Making the world a better place using the HERU Interface will require the adaptation of several basic principles. We should recognize that the Universe itself is an intelligent entity. It is omnipresent and omnipotent which means that it exists infinitely as abstract Pure Dark Energy Waves. It may also be referred to as the Great Spirit. We should recognize that Life is a single conscious entity created by the Great Spirit. It exists as a duality, both abstract and physical. The abstract portion is its intelligence that is growing as it gains knowledge about itself.
We should recognize that humanity, which is merely a minute percentage of the Life entity, is a tool. Humanity’s purpose is to gain knowledge for Life and in return Life provides humans with Happiness. We should recognize that the abstract essence of our being is our Soul. It will die if it is not enriched so that it may transform into Spiritual energy after our physical bodies die. Our Spirit is the only thing that will exist forever because Spiritual energy is a portion of the Great Spirit to begin with.
A Soul’s energy is developed by practicing Fairness, Equity, and Accountability. Therefore, we should be conscientious in everything we do and in our interactions with other people and the rest of Life. We should recognize that Desire is the default driving force within us. It is installed as an instinct by the Life entity. Conscience is the only balance for Desire. Conscience is representative of the Great Spirit acting within us. We can never escape our Desires therefore you should strive to attain balance instead of extreme self-discipline.
When you live primarily to satisfy our Desires we will destroy ourselves in the process. And when we practice extreme self-discipline, we are defeating the prerogatives of Life, which is to learn and grow. We should try with all our might to never covet favor from abstract entities. Not from the Great Spirit, lesser Spirits, the Life entity, or Demons. This was the genesis of religion and cultism. Instead, respect that these entities exist but strive for person growth by gaining knowledge and strengthening our self-discipline and will-power.
We should be self-driven and resilient to achieve our goals in life. We wouldn’t have Desires if Desire wasn’t useful so pursue happiness but in an ethical manner. Respect the rest of Life, better known as Nature. Recognize the prerogatives of everything in nature because everything has a unique purpose. Respect the Seeds and replenish them whenever possible because when we work with nature, nature will work with us.
Never destroy nature like the unethical, self-righteous, power-hungry sociopaths that make up the populations within most of the worlds politically and economically prominent nations. Recognize that all those who practice evil and hate are serving their purpose to Life perfectly. You see, no matter how evil they are in corrupting Life, Life is watching and is learning as it grows similar to how water will always find a path down a hill. Life has faced many existential catastrophes before but it has always found a way to come back.
Just because they don’t know that their freewill is merely a risk that Life is willing to take in order to gain knowledge doesn’t make them the authority over life and death. It simply means that they are perfect tools. If you hate evil and injustice then you are the other aspect of Life that will act to bring about balance.
The responsibility of making the world a better place is not the responsibility of political leaders or people with money, power, and influence in society. Making the world a better place is the responsibility of individuals but we must change from the inside first. We must develop the power of our conscience by practicing fairness, equity and accountability in everyday life. Soon we will not hesitate to confront inequity in others and injustice in society.
In time there will be great change in human behavior that is not based on the reward mechanisms of Life but the goodwill generated by the Great Spirit acting on all of our consciences.
Black Consciousness vs Black Liberation
Black Consciousness vs Black Liberation; what is the difference and which one is best for Black people? We believe that both are important and go hand in hand but without Black Consciousness Black Liberation is a completely useless endeavor. Here is why.
The vast majority of Black people who are waking up, abandoning religion and the system of popular culture are seeking Black liberation. Like the constitutional motto of the United States declares, Black people want “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. Unfortunately, they realized long ago that that motto was not meant for them because while other races eat from the table of opportunity, they have to fight for the scraps that fall off.
Our struggle therefore has to go one step further. We have to unify socially, politically, and economically if we are ever going to be able to get a seat at the table of equal opportunity. In the past, our leaders have tried to unify us using many tactics. They have tried to get us informed and educated by creating black colleges, newspapers, magazines, radio and TV stations. They have tried to unify us with religion and social organizations. They have tried to empower us by creating Black owned businesses for us to build wealth in our communities.
Our leaders have also tried to increase our political power by encouraging us to vote and get involved in the political process. We can’t say none of that has worked, however we still find ourselves struggling to be respected as human beings. We believe that our failures are based on our general level of consciousness as to reality and how the world works. In other words, we will never achieve Black Liberation until we focus on how to become truly conscious Black people.
Black consciousness is an active process by which Black people are using their conscience as a motivator to gain mental strength. Mental strength involves increasing one’s self-discipline and self-motivational abilities. With the strengthening of those qualities a black person can then go about improving their personal health and the health of their communities by gaining knowledge of self, their history, and how the world works.
Without knowledge of self and self-discipline, Black Liberation is just a wishful mental and physical pursuit in which Black people are trying to gain freedom from government oversight so that we can expedite our own destruction. We may hate the government and police but we all know that if they didn’t exist all hell would break loose. Racism is still a big factor because without true racial unity, they will continue to do what they want to us without consequence. They don’t respect us because from the way we kill each other, they know we don’t respect ourselves.
Our young men want to be liberated to smoke weed and get high all day as well as impregnate as many women as they want without taking care of their children. Our young women want to be liberated to destroy their skin with bleaching creams, butt implants, and hair chemicals because it will be nobody’s business but their own. Their primary source of making money will be in catering to the various desires of their peers such as selling drugs, prostitution, and partying. As long as we don’t understand that our two primary mental states are Desire and Conscience we will continue to degenerate as a race.
Take the example of predominantly Black societies in many areas of the world. Common people are in constant disputes against authority. To us, authority always seems to represent oppression and while colonialism has played a huge role, colonialism is fading while crime, violence, and corruption is on the rise. It is disappointing to witness because building productive societies will always require some level of oversight. The only way that Black societies will be able to successfully function in this new age is to raise the level of consciousness of the people within the society.
The HERU Interface’s participation in the struggle for Black Liberation is through Black Consciousness and Consciousness is about self-improvement. We are not coons are self-haters who blame ourselves wholeheartedly for our own condition. We also make no apologies for the white man’s continued racism, discrimination, and oppression of Black people worldwide. We are proud Black Afrakan people who will continue to fight for liberation by targeting the consciences of all races including our own.
ZaZa Ali a Black Consciousness Vampire?
Is ZaZa Ali a Black Consciousness vampire? Her recent exposure for trying to keep nearly $15K in appearance fees from a speaking engagement that she cancelled out on would certainly suggest so. Appearance fee provisions are contractual agreements between event organizers and performers. Patrons therefore need to be very careful to read the fine print before they purchase tickets in advance because Performers are not obligated to return advances unless they break the contract.
In this case the ticket holders were only fortunate enough to get refunds based on their efforts to expose the unethical actions of ZaZa Ali by exposing her as the one who broke the contractual agreement. The determining factor as to whether ZaZa Ali is truly an unethical person and a Black Consciousness vampire has to be based on her overall track record. Unfortunately for her, many people are now exposing her as having a very shady past.
A vampire is a person who stays alive by sucking the blood of other people, however the term vampire has also been adopted to include people who drain other people’s energy, money, and time. A Black Consciousness vampire therefore, is a person who specializes in scamming, hustling, and robbing the Black Conscious community. Many people who rise to prominence in the community may begin with good intentions buy without a moral anchor, they will inevitably transform into Vampires.
Controversy involving ZaZa Ali is not new. Several well-known people in the Black Conscious community have spoken out about her character and history before but without substantive evidence, most of the talk was passed off as jealousy over her rapid influential rise. One of the most damming accusations about her is that she is a convicted felon who has several fraud charges.
No one is saying that people cannot change and from what we see, she has been doing just that. We know that one of the best ways to help one’s self is to help others. Unfortunately, true self-improvement begins with the strengthening of one’s morals through strong self-discipline. According to our understanding of human psychology, morality is a product of one’s Conscience and Conscience encourages Fairness, Equity, and Accountability. These three traits are the foundation of true Black Consciousness.
We encourage ZaZa not to hide behind the allegations of fraud that has inflamed the Black Consciousness community but to come clean. As she can clearly witness, people love to pile on and before you know it, her career will disappear in a puff of smoke like a real Vampire.
Stop Female Genital Mutilation
Female Genital Mutilation on Wikipedia
Stop Female genital mutilation (FGM). It is a painful, barbaric, and unhealthy tradition that cannot and will never stop the impulse of men and women to fulfill their sexual desires in nefarious ways because FGM is based on unconscious religious philosophy.
Female genital mutilation is a traditional practice within many Muslim influenced cultures where the genitals of young girls are cut off to limit vaginal use. Such mutilations can range from the cutting off of the clitoris to the removal of the entire external genitalia. Once healed, this non-medical procedure dramatically reduces the vaginal opening leaving only a small opening for urinating. FGM is not only barbaric, it is an extremely painful practice that often results in death or life-long pain, discomfort, and infections for girls who undergo it.
Female genital mutilation has been outlawed by the world health organization for many decades however, it is still being practiced by many cultures in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The main reason for the persistence of FGM is that it is being used as a tool to reduce or eliminate Sexual Desire in women and girls. FGM developed in ancient times as religious philosophers across many faiths searched for ways to control human nature. But while some faiths stopped at shackling women in Chastity Belts, others went on to altering the genitals believing it would thwart a woman’s obvious susceptibility to being used by the Devil.
The superstitious belief that gods and devils manipulate human nature is the same reason why some faiths still demand that women cover themselves in public. They believe that if any part of a woman is seen by any man other than their husbands, unwanted desire would rise in the man (temptation) therefore all such temptations must be eliminated from society. If this is so, why are there still tribes of people in some regions of Africa, Asia, and South America walking around naked and there is no problem with sexual perversion?
Blinded by religious philosophy many cultures still believe that sexual promiscuity, such as adultery and prostitution is the result of women not being able to control their sexual desires. Husbands therefore, fear leaving their homes for extended periods of time because their wives will seek to fulfill their sexual desires with other men. Having circumcised wives makes men feel better knowing that their wives will not fall victim to this tool of the devil. There is also the added bonus of knowing that most other men will have little desire to seduce a circumcised woman.
Corrupt sexual desire is a problem that many societies worldwide have been struggling to manage ever since humans began to develop social morality. What people overlook or don’t know is that sexual desire is a natural instinct in humans. To control sexual desire by physical means betrays true understanding of human behavior. That is unless we persist in our power-loving tendencies to control others by force. The real truth is is that Sexual Desire can be controlled by nonphysical means and is the responsibility of both genders, not just women.
FGM is pervasive in many African cultures because it is ingrained in our traditions. Cultural tradition is a coalescing force that gives individuals within a society a sense of belonging. Humans are social creatures, meaning we generally hate to exist in isolation from other humans. We find comfort in family and friends and socialize with others who share common ways of life and spiritual beliefs. We learn by mimicking and gain acceptance through adaptation. Once adaptations are practiced over several generations, they become ingrained in the psychology of people and become traditions.
It is no wonder therefore, that FGM is most often executed by women; the same women who once kicked and screamed when it was being done to them. Women have become so brain washed by the tradition that they see FGM as a rite of passage that signals a young girl’s worthiness for marriage at only 9 and 10 years old. In essence, women in such societies have become no more than property of the men, like goats and donkeys. They see nothing wrong with it because they are thought that a woman’s place is to serve a man.
Stopping female genital mutilation is not an easy task. It requires changing cultural beliefs, which unfortunately are also interwoven with religious ideology. A better solution is to increase the awareness of people through education. Eventually people will learn that sexual desire is a natural human instinct that can be controlled by their minds. The key to developing a strong mind is to develop strong conscience and self-discipline by improving our connection to the Spiritual force of the universe.
Most religions are good self-discipline builders that can help people blow themselves up in crowds or encourage ideas of racial superiority that lead to racism and genocide but they are weak conscience builders because they rely on corrupt ideology to thrive. That is why you see pastors sexual abusing children and taking advantage of their followers financially and sexually. That is why you see men seeking to marry children or animals to have sex with. They don’t know how to use their conscience to build and regulate their morals so they make excuses saying a devil is responsible for temptation.
Unconscious people have traditionally attempted to control their sexual desires by putting the responsibility of sexual weakness on women. They have thwarted the development of female sexuality within their societies by mutilating the genitals of young girls. Black consciousness calls on all cultures that still practice female genital mutilation to listen to your conscience and the cries of every young girl that you “Cut” to stop this unconscious, unnatural, and unnecessary tradition because sexual desire can be controlled by developing strong consciences.
Canada Legalizes Marijuana
Canada legalizes marijuana and the response of Canadians has been overwhelmingly positive so far but will it be good for Canadian society on a whole? The answer will come in time due to limited precedence as to its widespread long-term effect. Personally, we do not use or condone the recreational use of Mariguana due to our understanding of human psychology and the tendencies of unconscious people to damage their Brain cells by becoming addicted to Desire inducing substances.
Marijuana is a substance whose effect may cause serious cognitive impairment when ingested in excess. Those who ingest it by smoking or in other forms say Marijuana is no more and even less impairing than Alcohol yet Alcohol is legal. Their near century long fight to have Marijuana legalized in Canada has finally come to fruition. Even former conservative politicians and ex-police chiefs, who once fought feverishly to keep Marijuana criminalized are now investing heavily in the industry, hoping to capitalize on its success integration into Canadian society.
Marijuana prohibition began primarily in the United States in the early 19th century where politicians and law makers guided by racial biases and religious ideology banned it from cultivation, medicinal, and personal use. They believed that Marijuana heightened the sexual desires of women who would therefore see no problem in dating Black men. The outlawing of Marijuana quickly spread worldwide as most countries either feared sanctioning by the US or they were complicit with similar ideological beliefs.
The fight to legalize Marijuana has been a difficult one due primarily to lack of medical precedence but in a “catch 22” situation, no research into its medical benefits could take place because Marijuana was illegal. Never mind that those who have been using Marijuana for decades can attest to its remedial benefits. Now even in its limited time as a medical drug, Marijuana has been proven to be very effective in treating numerous ailments, the most significant of which is the side effects of Chemotherapy.
Those who criminalized Marijuana way back in the 19th century were not far off in their reasoning for doing so. Marijuana induces the release of pleasure hormones in the Brain. The good is that like most pain relieving drugs, it reduces the physical severity of pain and the phycological effects of depression and other mental conditions. The bad side of Marijuana is that it reduces the self-discipline ability of those who smoke it, often to the point of addiction. The result is that people in society abandon the religious, political, and legal structures that govern it to defend their own personal liberties.
The egregious claim that Marijuana will open up white society to race mixing is completely false. Race mixing is the natural effect of multiculturalism as different people interact with each other without offending each other through exploitation and racism. They call this Liberal minded ideology but I guess it was fine when white men were race mixing by raping their slaves to produce bastard “Colored” people all throughout the United States, the Caribbean, and South America. Where was religion and morality then?
Congratulations Canada for taking a self-determined stance in decriminalizing Marijuana however, as stated before, we do not condone its abusive recreational use. With all the crime, violence, racism, and discrimination in the world today this is no time for getting high. Let’s hope that in time as more medical information is obtained through research society will benefit from Marijuana’s obvious good qualities.
Dilemma of a Black Conservative
“I feel like a Black Republican, money keeps comin in. But I can’t turn my back on the hood, I got love for them.” – Jay-Z
The dilemma of Black conservatism is a serious one. Depending on our level of consciousness some of us may choose to live like Kanye West and some of us like Jay-Z. Conservatism is a vile term among many Black people simply because it is often associated with white supremacy and economic oppression. The fact is, many Black people think and act conservative, we just don’t practice it politically due to our racial bonds. Kanye West and Jay-Z are two Black conservatives with politically different views. One openly praises political conservatism and one fights against it.
Conservatism in America is often associated with white supremacists and racists. Take a pick from any of the known white supremacist organizations in the country and you will find they identify themselves as Christian conservatives. Religious conservatism is the belief that one’s religion is the chosen of God therefore your actions are guided and accepted by your God. That goes for all religions, as is evident with the rise of Islamic extremism throughout the world.
White supremacists believe that Christianity is the guide for all aspects of life, be it political, financial, social, or environmental, therefore they go about destroying the environment because “God put resources on Earth for them to use”. They actively seek to convert Black people to their religious ideology; not to improve the lives of Black people but to individually covet favor from their God in hopes that they will join him in Heaven.
The problem is that once a Black person is converted to religious conservatism his status does not change. He may feel that he has gained the world but he is still considered a servant to the white race. Any injustice that is inflicted on a Black person by a white person in this condition is seen as the norm of a master and slave relationship. The only alternative for religious Blacks (who have a conscience) is to get political, as in the case of Martin Luther King.
Any culture that is built on the exploitation of Black people under the excuse of religious superiority will ultimately become unjust and oppressive. Oppression is the exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner. Many white people will argue that they “don’t have a racist bone in their body” but they do nothing to fix the systems of oppression. They will see Black people getting gunned down by the police on a daily basis and they will do nothing.
They will see Black people being denied service at businesses and they will do nothing. They will see Black people being railroaded into prisons by the corrupt court system and they will do nothing. Their psychological condition is the result of a moral superiority complex created by religion. For that reason, Black people are scared to associate themselves with what most white people associate themselves with, which is political conservatism.
Contrary to popular belief, Black people are not an unethical race. We are hardworking, fun loving people who believe in getting good education and maintaining strong family ties. We have high ambitions of becoming Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, and Business owners. All these things require supreme self-discipline, hard work, and financial sacrifice to achieve. Those of us who make it to the top of society fall into two categories.
The first one (Kanye West) attributes his achievements to his own hard work and sacrifices so he abandons his past. He begins to think like the white man politically, fiscally, and religiously. He dumps his Black girl and picks up a white girl that everyone in sports and Hollywood has slept with simply because of his own deranged ego. Then he starts to praise the most race baiting president in history as his hero.
The second one (Jay Z) acknowledges that although he worked hard to achieve success he must pay homage to those who helped to break down many of the barriers that white supremacists put in our paths to limit our success. He maintains a fiscal and religious conservative view but he refuses to break his racial bonds, therefore he shuns the national political conservative system that enforces the oppression of Black people.
Jay-Z works behind the scenes to improve the lives of Black Americans because he knows that no matter how rich and successful he gets, he’s “Still Nigga”.
