It is obvious White supremacy is a global problem, and Black folk is learning how to do 'White' fast; savagery of White folk is no excuse for us to do as they do! The problem of Black people is Black people, not White people; not only doing as they say but also, doing as they do.
Attitudes of ethnocentrism, xenophobia, and greed (in all humans) have been a universal dilemma since man learned to communicate. Additionally, over time, humans have learned to identify right and wrong behavior as well as means of checking wrongs against what is right. But instead of checking what is wrong, we adopt the wrong behavior.
Jews have (debatably) over 6,000 years of being mistreated by virtually every society on earth, Black folk have (perhaps) even more; yet, Jews are doing to Palestinians what was done to them; and Black folks are doing to each other what Whites are doing to us now. One does not have to be a rocket scientist or even educated to understand White supremacy, what it does, or how it works. Moreover, failure to understand it is no less confusing than failure to understand where we want to be in a White man’s world. Most, if not all, Black folks know what we are doing to our bodies, minds, and hearts when we go the hairdresser, grocery store, or chat with the neighbor.
Indeed, what is confusing is our attempt to justify our wrong behavior in name of equality or a constitutional civil right.
What’s going on in Libya can (as you suggest) be attributed to Africa’s failure to purge itself of European ways. Because it did not, however, is no excuse for selling their own people today.
Thoughtful response!!
