Ladies, Keep Heading For The Exits (Out of Blackistan)

Let me explain how I became aware of some of the (ineffective, useless negro male) blog content that will be mentioned in this post. I generally don’t read anything written by African-American (AA) males. Because the vast majority of AA males are useless, conquered slaves who aren’t doing anything of any real value. As a group, AA males aren’t doing “the 4 Ps” that men from other racial and ethnic groups do: protect, provide, problem-solve and produce.

Instead, most AA males retreat into childish pursuits, like an over-consumption of TV (including TV sports). This is the major reason why the AA collective is in a state of free fall.

Instead of doing the 4 Ps, AA negro males watch men from other groups protect, provide, problem-solve and produce for these other racial/ethnic groups. For just one example, AA negro males passively watched while uneducated, non-English-speaking Mexican men (many of whom are illegal aliens) established lawn service businesses that service AA homeowners in AA neighborhoods.

AA negro males watched while uneducated, non-English-speaking Mexican men created a way to provide for their families by meeting AA consumers’ needs. They watched while Mexican men “did for self.” Negro male slaves (and their AA female enablers) can’t blame that on racism.

Two objects can’t occupy the same space at the same time. The same AA negro males who are perpetually crying out for White men to create job opportunities for them could have done the same thing as the Mexican men. You don’t need a degree or any corporate references to push a non-electric lawn mower across some grass. Which is how many Mexican men started their now-booming landscape companies.

AA negro males could’ve created jobs for themselves by providing this service before Mexican men started doing it. AA negro males could’ve created employment for themselves after they saw Mexican men beginning to service AA homeowners. AA negro males chose not to do any of this. Instead, AA males stuck to their pattern of passively watching while other men make their own way in the world. Well, it’s 25+ years later and we can all see the result of that choice.

When there’s a problem affecting the AA collective, most AA negro males cry out for (and beg) White men to protect, provide, problem-solve and produce for the AA collective. Crying out for another man (typically White men) to come in and solve AA problems is the general behavior pattern among AA males, regardless of education or class status. Talented Tenth Edward = Pookie & Ray-Ray. They’re passive, ineffective males. In short, they’re useless slaves. Elijah Muhammad called out AA negro males about their passive, slave-like behavior many decades ago:

There is no need for us, millions through the country, spending our money for the joy and happiness of others. As a result, as soon as they throw us out of a job we are back at their doors begging for bread and soup. How many clothing shops do we operate in the country? Very few! Yet, all of us wear clothes. Who made our clothes for us? Who sold them to us? We have thousands of grocery stores, but what about our naked bodies? Should we not have more stores to sell our people clothes? Should we not sell our people everything they want or need? But no, we give all the money out of our pockets to the slave-master. We are satisfied in doing so. There are millions of us. We do not have enough factories to weave clothes for our people here in America. Think over that. Where is our shoe factory? Where are our cattle that we are skinning to make shoes for our people? These are small things, but we want equality with a nation that is doing these things.

We boast that we should be recognized as equals. Let us make ourselves equals. We cannot be equal with the master until we own what the master owns. We cannot be equal with the master until we have the freedom the master enjoys. We cannot be equal with the master until we have the education the master has. Then, we can say "Master, recognize us as your equal".

Today you are begging the master, the slave-masters' children for what? You are begging them for a job. You are begging for complete recognition as their equals. Let us be honest with ourselves. According to history, we cannot find where the master made his slave equal until the servant made himself worthy of equality.

I am with you to go on top. We cannot go on top with weight that is hanging on us. We cannot charge the white man with our faults. We are supposed to be, according to his own teachings, free. We are supposed to have been freed from him approximately 100 hundred years ago. Have we exercised that freedom? We must answer that we have not availed ourselves of that freedom. If we have not availed ourselves of that freedom which he says he gave us, why should we think hard of him about the way he treats us? This may be a little hard to swallow.

Our fathers, in the days they were set free by the slave-master, had no knowledge of how to go for self. Today, you are educated. You claim that you have equal education. Then, why don't you take a walk? Before we can be justified in accusing the other man, let us examine ourselves first.

The behavior pattern has not changed since Elijah Muhammad said this almost 50 years ago.

 

Anyhoo, every once in a while, I make an exception to my general rule about not reading mainstream AA blogs in general (and AA negro males’ blogs in particular). To see how rape culture discussions are playing out among what was supposed to be the Talented Tenth among African-Americans (AAs). The quickest way to check into this is to see what the What About Our Daughters blog’s educated negro slave detractors are currently saying about that blog’s online activism. This is how I came across this post at a mainstream negro slave blog called The Urban Politico.

So far, everything I’ve seen during these brief forays into the “mainstream” of AA blogs has confirmed what I already knew: (1) the AA collective is nearing the end stage of its ongoing transition into permanent underclass status; (2) there’s NO reforming the rape culture that exists among AAs, including the rape culture that exists among the AA Talented Tenth (who are often mistaken as constituting some sort of “Black elite,” but I’ll get to that later).

Any AA woman who wants to live well—and wants the Black girls in her circle of concern to live well—simply needs to get FAR away from any place or social function that’s frequented by large numbers of AA males. Period. The immediate answer is for more AA women to take themselves out of striking distance of AA male predators.  Ladies, keep heading for the exits. Flee Blackistan. 

Another important part of the answer is for more AA women to stop taking anything AA males say seriously. Including educated AA males. Especially educated AA males.

I want you to see some things I noticed while taking a quick browse through The Urban Politico, because these things are a microcosm of the bigger picture concerning responsible-sounding, educated-sounding AA males. 

Please note the contrast between the tone of voice used by the negro corporate attorney called The Janitor. In his comments referenced in this post, he’s cold, clinical and engages in a lot of analytical legal talk while discussing Genarlow Wilson’s real-life underage Black girl victims. He starts off the substance of his first comment by saying “I am an attorney who has followed this case since 2007 so I am aware of the legalities surrounding it.” So this is the rationale for what sounds to me like a cold and callous tone of voice when he’s discussing Genarlow Wilson’s victims. When it pertains to Genarlow Wilson’s underage Black girl victims, the Janitor talks about the details of Georgia statutes.

Please note the contrast between the tone of voice in his discussion of Genarlow Wilson’s underage Black girl victims, and when the Janitor is talking about the racial profiling of a fictional BM character and his own alleged experience of racial profiling HERE. Gee, when the Janitor and a fictional BM are the alleged victims of racial profiling, there’s no cold, clinical legal analysis of the U.S. Constitution or local statutes. I’m also an attorney, and I was waiting to see the Janitor’s legal analysis of his alleged fact pattern. With legal citations. That didn’t happen. Instead, he jumped to the unquestioned conclusion that he had been racially profiled. 

When it pertains to Genarlow Wilson’s underage Black girl victims, the Janitor noted that “rape is a serious matter. Therefore, we should not toss around the label of ‘rapist’ lightly before gathering all of the facts.” But he apparently doesn’t have a similar standard for instances in which he believes either a fictional BM or he’s been victimized. Racial profiling is a serious matter. Therefore, we should not toss around the label of “racial profiling” lightly before gathering all of the facts.

It’s easy to talk that clinical legalese when you don’t care about a topic. Or when you don’t care about a category of affected persons.

When it comes to AA women and girls’ physical safety, it seems to me that Talented Tenth, Corporate Negro “Edward” = Pookie & Ray-Ray. None of them care about that. And none of them assume any responsibility for protecting AA women and girls. Don’t be fooled by the use of a responsible-sounding, educated-sounding vocabulary. Don’t take anything AA males say seriously. Including educated AA males. Especially educated AA males.

I’m not saying this because these males are educated. I’m saying this because they’re useless when it comes to things that matter. Their educational backgrounds merely trick unsuspecting AAs into giving these males' opinions more weight than they merit. They use their educated vocabularies to talk a good game, but you will notice that they don't protect, provide, problem-solve or produce. They watch and talk.

When looking at the Urban Politico post criticizing WAOD, I recognized several of the screen names populating the amen corner in the comment section. I recognized one name in particular (an individual calling himself Shady Grady) who took exception to a blog discussion I had several years ago. He’s one of the bloggers at The Urban Politico. He’s also a good example of why AA women need to stop taking anything AA males say seriously. Including educated AA males. Especially educated AA males.

 

It’s time for another stroll down Memory Lane.

As early as back in 2008, other BWE bloggers and I urged AA women to save (and optimize) their own lives by fleeing Black residential areas. I repeated this call in detail in the FAQ to the Sojourner’s Passport blog.

I’ll note that during the discussion to this November 2008 post, Shady Grady and I disagreed about the nature and motivations of past BM leaders, but what’s relevant for this post is what we  both said at that time about fleeing Black residential areas. Here’s what Shady Grady had to say in 2008 about the call for AA women to save their own lives by fleeing Black residential areas (which in recent years have been referred to as “Blackistan”):

. . . As far as Black people fleeing majority Black areas, I don't think that solves any problems. The most obvious constraint is that whites are incredibly sensitive to the number of Blacks in their neighborhood. Once that magic tipping point has been reached (usually somewhere between 5% and 8%)generally whites start moving out. If most Blacks are as dangerous and depraved as some suggest, why would whites want to live around any Blacks? After all whites can't really tell the difference between the "good ones" and "bad ones" so they tend to err on the side of caution.

In reply to that point, I said:

. . . As far as running for our lives, what is your answer to the life-threatening conditions that exist in Black residential areas?

Since you haven't suggested any alternative solutions, it sounds like you want us to remain in place. While the bullets whizz over our heads. While our neighbors are being carjacked. While our children like Blair Holt (in Chicago) are shot dead on their way home from school. While dozens of Black children are shot while going to & from school in Black resdidential areas in cities like Chicago. WHILE OUR LIVES ARE IN DANGER.

I beg to differ with you. Running works. It works for those of us who get out and run away. Those of us who ran are not living under these conditions anymore.

If you have a better idea than running for our lives, I would really like to hear it.

 

Shady Grady then said,

Regarding your other arguments you did not read anywhere where I wrote that anyone should remain in a dangerous area. What I wrote was that Black people fleeing majority Black areas won't solve the problem.

Whites are still the majority in this country and have shown a general aversion to living next to large numbers of Blacks. So areas that Black people flee to tend to become majority Black again in a relatively short period of time. In addition as most white areas tend to be more expensive than many Blacks can afford, even if they wished to do so most Black people could not afford the increased housing cost.

So that means that for most people (those that can't afford to move or those that move in and watch their new neighborhood change complexion in 9-10 years)the only solution is to fix the problems in the Black areas.

I then said,

. . . Back to running for our lives: Yes, Whites do have a "tipping point" in terms of Black percentages of an area before they will flee. This means that Blacks who want to survive and thrive should NOT run to places that are already near (or at) the "tipping point" in terms of Black residents.

You say that the only solution is to fix the problems in the Black areas. How do we do that? And are we to remain in place and thereby continue to risk our lives while we're waiting for the problems in these areas to be fixed? How much longer shall we wait?

There will always be those Black folks who choose to remain behind in the Rwanda-zones. That is their choice. I am saying that those Black folks who seriously want to survive & thrive must evacuate these Rwanda-zones now. Before their luck runs out. Or their children's luck runs out. Like Blair Holt's luck ran out. If I remember correctly, he was his parents' only child. {long sigh}

Evia (blog host of Black Female Interracial Marriage Ezine) said,

. . . Everything has to be viewed in a context. Taken out of context, many things become meaningless or even insane. For ex. the only reason why so many AA women try to remain loyal to AA men and to this notion of saving the black community is due to the historical context. Other than that, most of these women would be considered straight up certifiable considering the lack of reciprocity they receive from bm and the bc.

I've come to the conclusion that many AA men have virtually no respect for the personhood or intellect of AA women. This is why some of my detractors think that if they could just shut me up, a big part of their problem would be solved. LOL! They can't believe that TONS of other AA women think exactly the way I do and some go way beyond me.


Back to running for our lives: Yes, Whites do have a "tipping point" in terms of Black percentages of an area before they will flee. This means that Blacks who want to survive and thrive should NOT run to places that are already near (or at) the "tipping point" in terms of Black residents.

Exactly! But this is what I mean. For ex. why would any of us try to get on a bus that's jampacked when we can get on another bus and get a seat? This wouldn't be that hard to do if the masses of AAs put their minds to it because AAs make up only 13% of the population and this is a big country. Why is it that some folks don't think that AA women have enough intellect to figure things like that out? LOL!

You say that the only solution is to fix the problems in the Black areas. How do we do that? And are we to remain in place and thereby continue to risk our lives while we're waiting for the problems in these areas to be fixed? How much longer shall we wait?

No one and I repeat NO ONE is coming to the aid of those bw and their children who are catching heck in those holes now. So why would anyone publicly be encouraging bw to stay there--unsupported, unprotected and virtually all alone with their children?

Before their luck runs out. Or their children's luck runs out. Like Blair Holt's luck ran out. If I remember correctly, he was his parents' only child. {long sigh}

Thank you! And practically every week, we hear about some woman/women or child's luck running out in these places. Many black folks in those places are magical thinkers and really believe that help is on the way. MOST of the ones I've talked with think that someone cares about them out there and that if they complain just a lil bit more, someone will defend or come to rescue them. SMH

 

That’s where the debate stood almost 5 years ago. Let’s see how some related events have played out during the years since that discussion. Shady Grady talks like an educated, responsible-sounding person. How useful have his comments about fleeing Blackistan proven to be over the past 4.5 years?

Shady Grady’s bio at The Urban Politico states that he’s from Detroit.
 

On August 3, 2009, I warned readers that the federal government had been talking about razing sections of 50 economically depressed cities like Detroit, and letting nature reclaim the bulldozed districts. I found out about this because I read foreign, Western European media (who often cover stories about what’s happening within the US long before the US media mention it). As I noted at the time, however it worked out for Detroit’s non-Black yuppies, this scheme is unlikely to work out well for most of the affected African-American residents. Local and federal housing schemes have rarely worked well for African-Americans. In fact, Dick Gregory had a “joke” from the early 1970s where he remarked that, “Urban renewal means Negro removal.”

The other thing that informed my negative reaction to this scheme is what it says about the federal government’s planning for the cities: It says that they don’t expect these cities (that mostly have high percentages of African-Americans) to ever recover economically! In late March 2010, during his first State of the City address, Detroit Mayor Dave Bing announced his plan to downsize Detroit by demolishing 10,000 homes (his staff later referred to it as “right-sizing” to make it sound less ominous). The demolitions began in early April, 2010.

What has Shady Grady been talking about over at The Urban Politico? Has he been giving vital, actionable information that helps other Black folks save or even enhance their lives? As far as I can tell, the answer is NO.  In fact, he seems to devote a lot of his posts over there to giving recaps of the HBO TV show Game of Thrones.

During this follow-up post, a commenter gave detailed action steps for escaping Blackistan. Hmmm, that seems a lot more useful than talking/writing about Game of Thrones.

Since that 2008 blog conversation, the lethal violence has continued in my hometown, Chicago. Specifically, in Chicago’s Black/AA residential areas. Meanwhile, people who live outside Chicago’s Blackistans are mostly unaffected by what feral AA slaves are doing in their Rwanda-zones. Normal life goes on in the outer world.

As I told Shady Grady years ago, running away works. It works for those of us who get out and run away. Those of us who ran are not living under the constant threat of violent death anymore. Here’s an example of an AA woman who didn’t run away. She and her children stuck around Chicago’s Blackistans long enough for ALL FOUR of her children to be killed. “She had four children, three boys and a girl, all victims of gun violence in Chicago over a period of 18 years.” See story HERE.

Praise God, increasing numbers of AA women have gotten the memo to flee Blackistan. Since the BWE movement made the call for AA women to escape Black residential areas years ago, I’ve been delighted to read testimonials from many AA women who escaped. Most recently, HERE.

Ladies, keep heading for the exits. Flee Blackistan. Ignore the Shady Gradys. The life you save might be your own.

*A note about many AAs’ misuse of the term “Black elite.” When you’re down and out, even a midget looks like a giant. Being part of a “power elite” typically means that you’re making decisions that impact or control the life opportunities/circumstances for very large numbers of people (thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions). Whether these other people like it or not. Furthermore, truly being part of a power elite means that you have enduring impact or control over other people's circumstances. Not a person whose influence evaporates the moment they lose an election.

AAs don’t really have an “elite.” What we have are job holders. Job holders who work in public or private institutions that are created and controlled by NON-AAs. So when AAs talk about a so-called “Black media elite,” they’re actually talking about Black folks who are employees—or hoping to become somebody else’s employee—in the media.

Contrast these current day AA job holders/job seekers with somebody like Elijah Muhammad, who created multiple institutions and jobs (grocery stores, restaurants, shipping companies, private schools, etc.) for other Blacks. Unlike Tyler Perry, Spike Lee and others, Mr. Muhammad didn’t have to depend on White people to distribute/showcase his products and services.

I notice that many formally educated AAs use the term “Black elite-[whatever]” as a slur against other educated AAs. I would caution such folks that when you encourage other AAs to hate on the so-called (and actually nonexistent) “Black elite,” you’re encouraging them to hate on any AA person with a white-collar job or an advanced formal education. Whether you realize it or not, this hateration that some of you are encouraging includes YOU. Your working-class or poor family of origin background won’t save you from being lumped into that same “Black elite” category. Your working-class or poor family of origin background won’t protect you from hateration from the growing AA permanent underclass.
