OPPRESSION & SUBMISSION

In the UK, the concept of Black political empowerment is a wholly justifiable reaction to the racist political policies supported by most paler-skinned inhabitants who, finding themselves in a majority, have chosen to capitalize on a situation where most darker-skinned inhabitants, being in a minority, have, hitherto, chosen not to resist the racist dynamics of these divisively oppressive policies.


The Dynamics of Darkness

Although discouraged by an education-system dominated by paler-skinned inhabitants, most darker-skinned inhabitants are, assisted by the spur of financial necessity, increasingly arming their minds through ever greater commitment to developing productive mental acuity (ie learning useful skills!) - whilst most paler-skinned inhabitants, encamped in positions of privileged status which obviate the financial need for meaningful productive work, have become so complacent that their formerly developed mental edge has been severely blunted by neglect (ie they have disavowed reality-relevant skills!). One's mental edge can only be properly sharpened on the hard whetstone of reality.

By using their majority to exercise a strong control of the security forces, many paler-skinned inhabitants have, in effect, armed themselves physically, but, due to bad diet, sedentary lifestyle, and excessive alcohol and drug consumption (both illegal and prescription), many paler-skinned inhabitants have ruined their general health. Conversely, many darker-skinned inhabitants have maintained their health through an adherence to more traditional diets. Many paler-skinned inhabitants rely on the force of their numbers in order to effect a policy of oppression, but this strategy has been undermined by the fact that their communities are generally more socially dislocated and dysfunctional than those of many darker-skinned people. Many darker-skinned inhabitants are developing greater individual resilience than paler-skinned inhabitants - as a result of experiencing more situations where, being alone amongst groups of a largely oppressive paler-skinned majority, they have had to think for themselves and defend their own rights. The criminal elements of both paler-skinned and darker-skinned inhabitants are ever more arming themselves with illegal weapons.

In general, neither darker- nor paler-skinned inhabitants are well armed emotionally - as illustrated by the wide number of adult UK inhabitants' obsessed with one or more of the following: drugs, alcohol, food, cigarettes, social status, positions of power, religious belief, physical appearance, sex, fashion, crappy television programmes, juvenile pop-music, celebrity, shopping, money, luxury products, (social) insurance, and racial differentiation. However, due to an increasing reliance upon the life-sustaining efforts (ie essential productive work) of many darker-skinned inhabitants, many paler-skinned inhabitants' have been afforded less and less exposure to the emotionally nutritional effects of the sunlight of reality.

Immature obsession with the designation of sub-strands to the Human Race (something which should only be of academic importance to anthropologists) has caused many UK inhabitants to subscribe to a multi-racial view of humanity (originally promoted by certain paler-skinned inhabitants) whereby Humans are conferred with varying social status according to shade of Human skin-colour. As a result of multi-racialism, many of the paler-skinned inhabitants have, without reason, chosen to believe themselves racially superior Humans and have used demographic superiority to 'democratically' adopt an immature culture of domination - whilst many of the darker-skinned inhabitants, by accepting the precepts of multi-racialism and UK 'democracy', have effectively chosen to be treated as racially inferior Humans, and have adopted a commensurately immature culture of submission. After all, why would anyone bother to invent (or subscribe to) a social theory of multi-racialism in which every sub-division carries equal status?

Many paler-skinned people in the UK are increasingly tending to lose the struggle that constitutes real life and this is why they are increasingly attempting to compel darker-skinned people (ie those proving more effective in life's struggle) to come to their aid. The obsession of paler-skinned inhabitants with the unreality of a restrictive unworkable 'democratic' system of complex rules and regulations (a means for a majority of UK inhabitants to exploit minorities) is simply salting the fields of creativity - and this bureaucratic obsession with control is an intrinsic factor in the current failure of the UK economy. Freedom of the Individual to engage reality is the key to the promotion of creativity and wealth. The success of many darker-skinned (and indeed some paler-skinned) inhabitants in establishing efficient worthwhile independent businesses has not been down to a blind adherence to UK 'democratic' law. In the main, it is only those (paler-skinned) businesspeople, commanding illicit influence amongst the ruling (paler-skinned) establishment, who can afford the luxury of achieving commercial success 'within' the law.


Could Black Ever Become The New White?

Black politics are meaningless without Black policies and the only policies which can hope to unite all non-pale-skinned people are those policies which promote the possibility of freedom for those non-pale-skinned people; and policies which promote the possibility of freedom for non-pale-skinned people must promote the possibility of freedom for All people, because any definition of freedom for non-pale-skinned people which precludes the possibility of freedom for All people is not a definition of freedom - it is a definition of oppression; and an oppressor is not free because, by definition, he must be committed to the cause of oppression - whereas to be free one must be committed to the cause of freedom. It's a black and white issue!

Skin colour cannot be a political end in itself - unless one has the aim of genetically engineering the entire human race to a uniformly standard shade! (I believe I borrowed that one from the Frank TALKER Book of Awfully Abstruse Jokes!) What is the purpose of voting non-pale-skinned people into Parliament if they then proceed to vote for wars and policies of oppression against other non-pale-skinned peoples?

Despite enjoying the flair football of the Arsenal soccer team, I would not desire membership of a club whose supporters are renowned for their habit of trashing the surrounding North London neighbourhood when celebrating the winning of a trophy. Nor would I expect a paler-skinned person to identify himself with genocidal Nazis and North Atlantic slave-traders. Nor would I expect a darker-skinned person to identify with those who committed genocide in Rwanda.

The concept of Black politics can only be meaningful to those who consider themselves oppressed by racism - without the existence of the racially oppressive policies of paler-skinned people, the concept of Black politics, in a just sense, would be meaningless. Black politics needs the Evil of paler-skinned people to absolve darker-skinned people from their own sins (this is, of course, also a mutual feast for paler-skinned people who wish to indulge in racial oppression). In a world free of the oppression of racist paler-skinned people, Black politics would itself become synonymous with the divisive oppression of racism.

There DOES exist a movement of White Supremacist politics, but its expression comes in the form of capitalizing actions rather than capitalized words. We know this movement as the force of everyday UK 'democratic' politics - comprising the interactions of Conservatism, Socialism and Liberalism. Oppressors do not need to describe themselves - just their victims.

There also exist darker-skinned (and paler-skinned) Individuals who have struggled to develop a Human capability of sufficient maturity as to enable them to overcome the adverse effects of such oppressions as racism - these Humans have no need to subscribe to an emotionally comforting Colour club. These Human Individuals (each one different) are united only in their struggle to define and do what is Right. Rather than rallying round a random flag, a common colour chosen by chance, Humans only achieve a true unity when, in the search for Human progress, they value the potential of Individual difference.

Unfettered difference is essential for ascertaining the Truth. It's pointless for everyone to search for dinner down the same rabbit-hole at the same time - it's far better to let everyone follow their nose and to discover who has the best sense of smell! A commitment to difference is essential for progress down the path of Truth. A thriving organic culture must be nourished by such values.

For a Human Being to call himself Black is to utter a cry of despair and is a justifiable expression of awareness of his victim status - but for a Human Being to commit himself to being Black is a divisive act of complicity in his own racial oppression. There is only one Human Race, composed of uniquely created individuals, and further racial subdivisions are a sociological myth - a system of pseudo social science set to snare suckers.


Confusion of Terminology

Many darker-skinned people do not identify themselves as Black - especially Human Beings who have one paler-skinned parent and one darker-skinned parent. These particular Human Beings are all walking talking witnesses to the fraudulence of race because they know both parents to be members of the same Human Race - and the names of these Human witnesses are duly besmirched in an attempt to invalidate their vital testimony. They are patronizingly called 'mixed-race' and 'dual-heritage', but are no less 'mixed' than any other Human who has the mixed genetic and cultural heritage of two separate parents originating from the Human Race - some people may be shocked to discover that these curiously-named-people are normal members of the Human Race! After all, were we Humans not all mixed, we would be clones! Whatever will the next term be? Variegated? Does one win a special sociological prize for inventing a new label? Commonly used descriptive conventions are fine and practical, but to constantly re-invent such terminology is ever to re-enforce the mythical and divisive concept of a multi-racial world.

The term 'half-caste' has its meaning complicated by connotations of class (especially for anyone with a Hindu parent) - however, 'half-caste' has always maintained a strong 'streetspeak' currency due to this term's convenient homophonic associations with the word 'cast' (meaning hue). Of course, I would still stress that all Humans are naturally cast (moulded) from two halves - half father and half mother. It is interesting that, although 'zebras' are a common sight on UK streets, we do not use this somewhat amusing American term for couples of contrasting skin-colour - instead, the British seem to prefer to agonize over the etiquette of socially acceptable terminology for the offspring of 'zebras'!

I recently read a report where an African described an African born child as 'half-white' and, as a descriptive convention, this label struck me as simple and practical - although Europeans would probably favour 'half-black'.

There is no racism implicit in any of the aforementioned terms - they are just words. Racism is in the mind of the reader and in the eye of the beholder. May the best word win!


Colour Schemes

Nearly every Human is slightly genetically different from the next, and through sexual selection, Humans can, in minor ways, adapt relatively quickly to suit the environment in which they find themselves. For example, skin pigmentations can either be evolved to give protection against the sun's strength (ie dark pigmentations in tropical and equatorial regions) or can be evolved to allow extra absorption of solar energy (ie pale pigmentations in colder regions where the sun's rays are less powerful). This means that a paler-skinned person who migrates from Europe to Africa will probably suffer a little over-exposure to sunlight (causing sunburn and heat-stroke), whilst a darker-skinned person who migrates from Africa to Scandinavia will suffer a little under-exposure to the sun's rays (causing coldness and under-production of vitamin D3). This could explain why darker-skinned people get SAD (Seasonal Adjustment Disorder) in the European wintertime and why paler-skinned people go MAD (Mental And Deranged) under the African midday sun! Humans can also fine tune their skin pigmentation by tanning.


The House of Colours

It makes little sense for Black politicians to join the UK's major political parties - the need to implement all-Black short-lists in specific constituencies demonstrates that these parties suffer from institutional racism and an unwillingness to undergo general change. Although a Black political party would make a strong political point (vis à vis the depth of racism in the UK), the establishment of a voluntarily-funded and separate Black Parliament (without legislative power) would make an even stronger one. Surely would not Black MP's be more conspicuous by their complete absence from the Houses of Parliament?

(Incidentally, I consider that, for a dissenting Labour or Conservative MP, the honourable response to Parliamentary approval of the Iraq War would have been to have rolled his/her party membership into a fat joint and to have smoked it in the middle of Parliament Square! That's what I would call really strong action!)


Oppression Flows Red - What Colour is Freedom?

Ultimately, however, it is the freedom-hostile nature of UK political 'democracy' which facilitates the oppression of UK minorities and, thus, racism. Participation in the present (institutionally racist) UK 'democratic' process, inane compliance with compulsory UK taxation and acceptance of the UK's compulsory piss-poor public services (the institutional tools of racists) will only prolong oppression (and racism).

The real problem is oppression - racism is simply one tool employed by the oppressor. After all, when someone puts a gun to one's head does one:-

A: try to remain calm?

B: crap oneself?

C: wonder which box one's assailant would tick when answering an ethnic diversity questionnaire?

D: any combination of the above?

If one survives this ordeal, the shit in one's underpants will always emit the same stink - regardless of one's assailant's skin-colour. Should one be shot dead, the colour of one's brains on the pavement will always be the same - regardless of the skin-colour of one's assailant.
