49. Plenty of cultures & cultural practices have died out with the progress of time
Wed Jan 27, 2016, 12:58 AM
Jan 2016

Yeah I'm using powerful words to make my point crystal clear.
I want no ambiguity on the matter.
Ambiguity has been the problem which allows that mentality to fester.
People have been educating for decades upon decades now & it barely changes anything.

I'm not talking about killing off people in ovens & setting up execution squads.
I'm talking about a more metaphorical destruction.
When it becomes too unfashionable to hold on to those mentalities.
When you lose opportunities because of those mentalities.
THAT'S when it dies. People HAVE to change because staying the same won't get them anywhere in the society.

Coddling that mentality gives them cover to keep thinking in those regressive ways.
As long as it's cool to believe in White supremacy among friends & family this will always be here.
But once your social circle ostracizes you for having those beliefs, eventually people give up those beliefs.
THAT'S the EXTINCTION I'm talking about.

Nobody lives like the Victorian era anymore. That culture died out.
No men wear powdered wigs anymore like in the 1770s. That culture died out.
Nobody drills holes in people's heads to cure headaches anymore. That cultural practice died out.
Handwriting culture is dying out in the midst of electronic communications.
Things that were so commonplace just 100 years ago are foreign to people living today.
It happens all the time.

White people of today are NOT like White people of 500 years ago.
The cultures of all these other groups they came in contact with has forever changed them.
The way they talk, the way they dress, the way they act.
And the White supremacy mentality fears that inevitability.
White supremacists found out that they caught a tiger by the tail & are now stuck between holding on or taking a big fall.

The reason I KNOW White supremacy is doomed is in its very nature.
It tries to stay separate in order to maintain its status.
As soon as White mixes with non-White, White ain't White no more. The purity thing.
That's the weakness.
It's a DEFENSIVE mentality masquerading as an offensive mentality.
They have to PROTECT Whiteness because it's so very fragile.
But the nature of people is that we rub off on each other. We influence each other.

Think of the British Empire "conquering" India & so many other places around the world.
Then think about the British Beatles walking around with Nehru jackets playing the sitar like Hindus.
Who was really conquered?
Think about its descendants in America "conquering" the Natives in this land.
Then think about Chuck Norris walking around like he's an honorary Native on Walker Texas Ranger.
Who was really conquered?
White America "conquered" Japan but today so many White boys got Yellow fever.
They're watching anime & reading mangas & playing videogames from so many Japanese companies.
They listen to J-Pop & swoon over those Japanese idols & AV stars.
Who was really conquered?

And in the end everybody from those lands the British Empire & its descendants invaded become a significant part of their "conqueror's" land.
To assert themselves against these ever-strengthening influences, a mentality of White supremacy is put up so they don't become changed.
It's like the plastic on your old grandma's couch.
So worried about it getting stained that she wraps it in cellophane.
Makes for an uncomfortable sit & makes you not wanna go to grandma's house anymore.

And White supremacists are ESPECIALLY scared of Black people because we rub off on people THE MOST.
World culture has been Africanized.
They were playing jazz in pre-Hitler Germany.
The breakout Nintendo game called Splatoon is full of hip-hop influence.
Even country music is not immune. The banjo is an African instrument.
Adele from UK wants so bad to get that soulful sound cultivated in Black churches.

Even when they thought they were mocking us & being superior to us, they wanted to paint their faces black.
Just why DO so many White people like tanning so much? Isn't that counter-intuitive?
Today the phenomenon of PAWG is a thing despite the mockery of prominent Black posteriors in the past.
Before Kid Rock was going out here rapping with a Confederate flag, he was trying to be another Vanilla Ice with a similar haircut.

The White supremacist system has always been fragile.
It is all based on a lie from the very beginning.
If Whites were so superior why were they bringing over all these other non-Whites to build the place up?
Couldn't they do it themselves? What happened to purity?
Sally Hemmings & so many others proved that they couldn't keep it "pure" if they tried.
You're NOT gonna be "pure" if you sail on a boat, if you ride on a train, if you fly on a plane, if you travel in a caravan, if you walk on shoes, if you print on a press, if you dial on a phone, if you log on the 'net.
You wanna keep it pure, then hide in that cave, caveman.
Otherwise all those forms of transportation & communication only brings about the Family Reunion.
You came to see US, remember?

They ultimately know this but they continue to pursue this White supremacy system in futility.
The world is getting SMALLER not larger.
All this technology is bringing the world closer TOGETHER.
Which means there's gonna be a lot of rubbing off & influencing going on more than ever before.

That's why I say we won't have to resort to violence to destroy this evil culture.
Obama hasn't even really used his power like he should.
He's actually been a disappointment personally.
But just him existing in that office has caused the Conservative (actually Confederate) coalition to implode on itself.
He hasn't done anything actively against them & they still fell apart.
In just 8 years, that coalition is finally about to exit the national stage in American politics.
Black people have ALWAYS been the shifting force on the political parties from the start of this country.

You get Bernie in there & we'll guarantee that this part of the White supremacy machine will be dismantled.
Everything Bernie will fight for does not line up with what this guy mentioned in the opening topic is looking for.
By helping ALL people it prevents a policy that only helps White people.
They're gonna be gutted when Trump gets landslided because they thought that tripling down on a White supremacist platform would get them results.
When a wide open bigot can't get past Romney's 47%, they'll know that it's Jurassic time for them.

Obama was the dawn of the Fourth Republic.
For the next few decades, things are going away from their vision on the nation.
Nobody openly celebrates the Ku Klux Klan anymore when in the 1910s & 1920s they were openly celebrated.
Cultures die all the time & this one will be no different.
Progress is always the key to making that happen.
