TO CJ GOODE III AND ALL THE OTHER BIGOT-HUGGIN’ 

SUCK-UPS OUT THERE

CJ, you criticized me because a writer's readability program assessed my writing at a 9th grade level, which is exactly the level that the program suggests that all writers seek to communicate on. The program - THAT YOU PROVIDED - indicated that we should all seek to communicate in writing on an 8th grade level. All serious writers know that, and there's a perfect reason for it - because that's the level of writing that's most clear to the greatest number of people. If you doubt that, simply compare your writing to mine. But it's not surprising that comes as news to you, because that places it right in sync with your gross ignorance on most other subjects. What makes a writer's writing powerful is not simply his or her level of readability, but the level in which they're capable of articulating complexed concepts. Thus, clarity is simply a useful tool. What makes a good writer is the ability to think clearly, and efficiently. Yet, your all-consuming fixation on readability score alone suggests that you've missed that important point altogether.  

.

But that's understandable, because you're clearly a non-thinking, and thoroughly brainwashed individual. In spite of the fact that you're Black, you look at life from an uneducated bigot's perspective, and you even use a bigot’s dumb-ass arguments in casual conversations.
.
After all the shit Black people have gone through, for example, you sit there licking the White man's ass and complaining about goddamn Marxism. How many Marxists do you know that have lynched, murdered, and raped Black people?  So I can’t, for the life of me, figure out what kind of fool it takes to buy into that bullshit!!!? While, admittedly, I don’t know much about Marxists, I do know that they can’t be any worse than the Klan, yet, I don’t hear you saying a word about the Klan. Why not? It is my understanding that the only reason the White man hates Marxists is because they advocate equality, and for the White elite to share the wealth of the nation with the average citizen. They called Martin Luther King a Marxist, so was he evil too?

.

So I just can’t figure out how the powers that be managed to create such a weak-minded, kool-aid-drinking idiot like you!!!? Your ignorant ass is so sick that you're too goddamn dumb to see what's right before your eyes. How do they do it!!!?

.

And the truly ironic part of it is, the bigots you serve laugh at your dumb ass as soon as you leave the room. They say, "Now there's a jiggaboo who knows his place", and they all fallout laughin' at your dumb ass. Idiots like you make ALL Black people look bad. That's why we hate your silly asses so passionately. Yet, you sit there smirkin’ and pinchin' your silly-ass chin. You're a goddamn fool.

.

ADVICE TO CJ ON DOING SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY

.

CJ, you should do yourself a favor - give that dumb-ass quantum shit a rest and take the time to learn what a subject, predicate, and object is in a traditional English sentence. In all seriousness, you really need to do that. A little thing as simple as that could be the source of your entire problem. Maybe you just don't have have the intellectual tools to connect the dots properly. And further, if you want to try to present yourself as an intellectual, you should, at the very least, learn how to punctuate and how to conjugate a verb. When you can't do those simple little things that every child is supposed to learn by 3rd or 4th grade, it makes you look like a goddamn fool - and any educated person that you get into a discussion with is going to recognize it immediately.

.

Another reason I suggest that you educate yourself is so you won't continue to go around embarrassing Black people. It's people like you that cause others to take Black people less than seriously, and you also contribute to high unemployment in the Black community.
.
A young Black college graduate – who might be sharp as a tack and completely qualified - can go in and apply for a job, but if the H.R. manager has ever come into contact with you, anyone like you, or read anything you've ever written online, he's going to run that Black applicant out of his office, because chances are, he’s generalize what he’s perceived as your ignorance to all Black people. In short, people like yourself cause Black people to be broad-brushed, or profiled as ignorant. I've met well-meaning White people who were literally shocked that I could walk and chew gum at the same time.  That's because of people like you.
.
I saw one of your videos where you were out on the street thanking right-wing White folks for standing up for gun rights. They were looking at you like you were a goddamn fool. A person could actually read what they were thinking. Their expressions said, "Doesn't this idiot know the reason I want to keep my guns is so I can blow his goddamn brains out?" But your dumb ass didn't recognize that fact for a minute. You actually thought you were a part of the gang.  

.

So the bottom line is, while you've made criticizing Black people a way of life, people like you contribute to many of the problems we have in the Black community. So, please, give us a break and stop talking shit long enough to educate yourself and become a positive reflection on the Black community. And while you’re at it, you need to bring all that "niggrah" shit to a halt as well. The White man might grin in your face and pat you on the back when you say it, but it doesn't contribute to a positive image of the Black community. But of course, you probably don't care about that, because all you're interested in is impressing the White man. But it's something for you to think about, nevertheless.

.

And finally, I knew talking about Trump would set you off. I can talk about your dumb ass like a dog and you won't say a word, but the minute I say anything the least bit disrespectful about YO White man, all hell breaks loose. You've been trained like an attack dog when it comes to defending White folks.
.
Being from Los Angeles, I used to hear about people like you, but I thought the rumors were a myth, much like the stuff they made up for television. But then, when I found out that there really were people who thought like you, I assumed the last one died in the 1800s. So I'm getting a valuable education here on the internet. While I knew there were Uncle Toms, like Clarence Thomas and Uncle Ben Carson still among us, you're a breed that makes mere Uncle Toms look like the revolutionary guard. They need to put a picture of your dumb ass on a box of rice. 
.
So there you have it. Not bad for an 8th grade mind, uh? I'll be waiting nervously to be blown out of the water by your powerful intellectual response. But in the meantime, below is an example of one of your "soul mates" at work. Maybe it'll serve as a look in the mirror. But as one final thought, I don't see how your wife can stand living in the same house with ignorant ass. She must be a strong and loving sister. My hat is off to her.

ABOUT NEW JACK CITY AND WHITE SUPREMACY

Beneath the Spin*Eric L. Wattree

EXCELLENCE IS THE KEY TO BLACK EQUALITY

ABOUT NEW JACK CITY AND WHITE SUPREMACY

I'd like to see them start making movies reflecting Black manhood as being brilliant instead of swaggerin' and murderous for a change. Not only do we seem to only be swaggerin' and murderous enough to kill one another, but in the end, we never seem to be bad enough to avoid getting our brains out by rogue cops.
.
While we claim to be “woke”, how many other groups consider buying popcorn and watching their people getting their brains blown out as entertainment? Not many, I assure you. So, it seems to me that it’s about time we start teaching our kids something new. What do you think?
.

In response to one brother’s contention that Blaxploitation movies are just

movies, what many less than thoughtful Black people don’t seem to get is these are not just movies, they're 2-hour commercials that are designed to drive home an image of who and what Black people represent. Contrary to what many believe, such movies are not designed strictly for entertainment, but are actually on a dead serious mission of indoctrinating you, your children, and the world’s vision of “your place” in society. They not only make it easier for the police to blow your brains out on the street, but easier for jurors to find them “not guilt” after they do so, because all many people know about Black people is what they see in on television and in the movies. So when they think about us, they don't think of innocent Black people minding their own business, they think of gangsters, dope dealers and murders.
.
If White people were portrayed in the same way as Black people in the media, we’d think that all White folks were barefoot Hillbillies. That’s why whenever you look at a movie – ANY MOVIE - it will ALWAYS show the White man on top, or the leader, and the Black man is portrayed as either a sidekick, a fool, or an idiot of some sort. There’s a very simple reason for that - because movies are designed to ram the White man’s view of reality down society’s throat. It’s the glue that holds society together. It’s called sublimation, and it’s one of the strongest and most effective weapons of White supremacy.
.
Such movies make it "our place" to get our brains blown out, so society is

inured to it. Thus, when a Black man is choked to death by the police on the street in broad daylight for selling cigarettes to help support his family, or a Black woman ends up dead after a traffic stop for smoking a cigarette in her own car, or a Black man is intruded upon in his own apartment and shot dead by a cop while enjoying a bowl of ice cream - and then the cop's only defense is, "Oops, I thought it was my apartment. Sorry 'bout that - society's attitude is, "Yeah, that's a ridiculous reason to die, but it was only a Black person, so that's no reason to completely destroy a normally law abiding White person's life. It's a Black person's place to die tragic deaths. It's not like they're actually human. Just watch any video or television show. Their family won't even miss 'em." That's why when former Dallas police officer, Amber Guyger, barged into Botham Jean's apartment's and shot him dead, even the judge and Botham's family treated her like she was the victim after a jury composed of 10 nonwhites sentenced her to 10 years. If it had been a White jury she would have been celebrating on the beach like George Zimmerman.
.
So, situations such as this should alert the Black community of the need to think, and not simply go along with what many perceive as just harmless fun, because that "harmless fun" is profiling Black people - all Black people - and it's being done with our able and enthusiastic assistance. They're using the Black man's need to be seen as bad to destroy us. They don't call such movies "Blaxploitation movies" for nothing. They're exploiting us. Again, they're not only using our need to go for bad to make money, but it also makes it that much easier to kill us with impunity. So what motivates this White supremacists society to allow us to portray ourselves in the way we do is far from harmless. Watching Black people dying in the street - and in their own apartments - is far from harmless fun. And going out of our way to portray ourselves as swaggerin' and cool is not manly at all - it's foolish. Being a responsible parent and helping to develop the minds of your children is manly.
.
So it's time for Black people to wakeup and make knowledge, political clout, and achievement the new soul. Struttin' around and swaggerin' is just a childish show. A real man is one who has the power and common sense to prevent his people from being victimized and exploited.

FEATURING PROFESSOR CARLON MANUEL, KANYE WEST, AND THE SORRY STATE OF OUR CURRENT EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

FEATURING PROFESSOR CARLON MANUEL, KANYE WEST, AND THE SORRY STATE OF OUR CURRENT EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

.

TRUMP: I WISH THIS COON WOULD STOP 

TOUCHING ME

.
ISSUE:
KANYE IS AN IDIOT, AND HE SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED
BY ALL BLACK PEOPLE AS AN EXAMPLE TO ALL OTHER
POTENTIAL IDIOTS.
.

PROF. MANUEL
.
“Ya'll need to stop putting so much on what a moron says...Who appointed him as a spokesperson for us!!!...No one so let him fade in to the night and not give him any more fame.”
.
Carlon, we're paying attention to him because he's making us ALL look like goddamn fools. In addition, there are people out there who are big enough fools to listen to him, and they can have an impact on the coming election - that's the only reason Trump wanted his dumb ass for a photo op in the first place. So when it comes to politics, you NEVER ignore ignorance. That's the mistake we made with Trump's silly ass. Nobody thought anyone was paying attention to him - but they were wrong, weren't they?
.
PROF. MANUEL
.
"He is not in any manner making me look like a fucking fool, he stands on his own lack of merit!!!...Who the fuck nominated his dumb ass to speak for anyone but himself!!!..."
.
If you're Black, he's making you look like a damn fool to others, even though YOU may not realize it. Image is everything in this country. That's why people are treated differently based on their race in the first place, because people have a certain image of what your Black skin represents. But if you don't understand that, I don't have time to explain it to you, so I'll just move on.
.
[NOTE: I tried to move on and drop the discussion.]
.
PROF. MANUEL
.
“‘If you are black’ that statement alone qualifies your words as bullshit...Kanye stands on his own and you should stop worrying so much about what people think...African Americans being treated differently did not start with Kanye, if you truly know what you were talking about you wouldn't make that claim...”
.
Carlon, you're clueless. What do you think the word profile means!!!? But I'm not even gonna to bother to debate this issue with you, because the concept is obviously going way over your head. What EVERY person does counts.
.
When a well educated and intelligent young Black man puts on a suit and tie and goes out to interview for a job, whether he gets the job or not may depend on whether or not the employer saw the spectacle below the night before.  It's called "subliminal imaging," or more commonly known as "broad-brushing." When jurors let murderous cops go free they often think of the victim as some scary Black man they saw on television. And a lot of people are upset to see Bill Cosby go to jail because in their minds they see Cliff Huxtable being locked up. So what people think, and are made to think about us counts, because it has a direct impact on our lives. So, while you may be so bad and macho that you don't care, I have enough common sense and insight into human nature that I care very much.
.
[NOTE: I tried to move on a second time.]
.
PROF. MANUEL
.
“Get a fucking life, your unqualified at life ass can call no one clueless...”
.
Carlon, when I called you clueless it wasn’t meant as an insult, I meant it as a fact. You obviously don't have a clue as to how people think, and the impact that stupidity has on our lives. Your comment above shows that you're more emotional than you are thoughtful, but the only thing that's going to move Black people forward is clear thinking.
.
The White man didn't enslave Black people because he could beat us up, he enslaved us because he had a knowledge of gunpowder that we didn't possess. It was a lack of knowledge that enslaved us, and it's going to take the embrace of knowledge to liberate us, not goin' for bad and sayin' "I don't give a fuck!" And consider this, the White man didn't have Kanye up there coonin' for nothing. Whether you "give a fuck" or not, it could have a direct impact on your life in next month's election.
.
PROF.  MANUEL
.
“Lol...Mr. Educated...”
.
[NOTE: Mocking Black intelligence.]
.
I notice you're an adjunct professor at Cal. State Dominguez. I'm shocked! The conservative assault on our educational system is obviously far worse than I suspected. In fact, your last comment even seems to be anti-intellectual, like it was a slur. What's wrong with a brother being educated? Do you consider it uppity? You sound like you think Black people have a moral obligation to be stupid. Well, pardon me, brother, if I stepped out of my place, but that's just the way I am - and I always will be.
.
PROF.  MANUEL
.
“Stop smoking and drinking it is bad for your logic...You sound like a fool and really almost like Kanye...Birds of a feather...”
.
Carlon, you're a professor. Remember back when you took 8th grade English and the teacher told you that whenever you made an assertion to start backing it up in the following sentence? Well, you just left a fully unsubstantiated assertion just dangling in mid air. Back it up so I'll have something to get my teeth into. You sound like you'd be tons of fun. So let's have it. Let's see how big a fool I am. Enlighten me, professor.
.
Hmmm, it's been an hour, professor, and not a word. I guess it's just as I thought - all jingle and no bells.
.
PROF.  MANUEL
.
“I have better things to do like actually making and supporting changes in people's lives...You should try it instead of pontificating and not doing a damn thing for anyone...”
.
Carlon, believe me, I'm doing much more educating than you are. I'm over here scratching my head - how in the hell can you be an educator when you NEED an education? I went through college in the seventies, but I had enough education not to spew the nonsense that got me started on you when I entered Fremont High School, because we were taught very early the importance of representing our people well.
.
But let me remain focused, I'm waiting for my enlightenment, so let's not change the subject. I'll be waiting anxiously to partake of your wisdom. And don't forget, that's what this medium is for - to educate and to be educated. So if you truly want to educate your people, there's no better way. Spread your hustle, and don't limit your wisdom to the classroom. I'm certainly anxious to get a taste of it. So I sincerely hope you'll reconsider.
.
PROF.  MANUEL
.
“So how does Bill Cosby represent you???...”
.
Bill is Black and had world fame as "America's dad."  Yet, when 60 (count 'em - SIXTY!!!) women said that he drugged and assaulted them, for many, it serves to justify their racism. When a lot of people in this country see that, they think, "Just as I thought, NO Black man can be trusted." That's why when a perfectly innocent Black man wearing a suit and tie gets into an elevator with some White women they'll put a tighter grip on their purse. Or when a clearly murderous cop goes on trial after he's seen ON VIDEO killing a Black man for absolutely no reason, White jurors will let him off, because they'll think, "Well, that Black man probably did something we didn't see OFF video." All of that is a result of our failing to challenge public perception of who we are.
.
If the corporate media portrayed White people in the same way they do Blacks, we'd think that ALL White folks were barefoot Hillbillies.  Corporations spend BILLIONS of dollars on commercials every year to improve the image of their brand.  They’re not giving that money away for nothing, so Black people would be fools not to protect and enhance our public image as well.  As a so-called  "educator" it would seem that you'd not only know that, but would be teaching it tirelessly to your students. So what's all this swaggering "fuck Kanye" macho bullshit you're engaged in? You should be teaching your students to be thoughtful, not swaggerin' idiots.
.
If Black people EVER intend to liberate ourselves we've got to address our image and cultural mores to NOT reflect us as the most swaggerin' people on the planet, but the most thoughtful and knowledgeable. That way, when a Black applicant walks into a corporation to apply for a job the employer will think, "I want to hire this person, because Black people are known for being brilliant and creative." So we've got to strive to make knowledge the new soul.
.
PROF. MANUEL
.
“What was your masters degree in again???...”
.
[NOTE: He asked a question and then sidestepped the answer, and mocked Black intelligence again.]
.
Carlon, I don't have a masters degree, but my educational background is in psychology, just like yours. In fact, I had planned to become a clinical psychologist, but once I had a daughter and son, I decided to put my efforts into grooming them, and I was quite successful at it. My son grew up to become a federal agent, and my daughter is currently a Human Resources Specialist for Citrus College and President of her chapter of the California School Employees Association. My only granddaughter will be a medical doctor soon, and she won the Bill Clinton Award in high school. I also have 5 grandsons right behind her - and not one fool in the bunch.
.
In fact, I would challenge you to debate even my youngest grandson, Miles Coltrane Wattree-Jackson. He's not even out of high school yet, but based on what I'm seeing here, he'd drag you through the mud, because he was raised to be a thinker, not an emoter. So he would very methodically tear your arguments apart. That's the skill we must develop as Black people. Anybody can swagger and try to go for bad. We must learn to THINK.
.
And with respect to your master's degree (if that’s what you have), I’d have to be prone to reckless assumption to assume that the White boy who conferred it upon you wasn’t a fool, and I’m not prone to reckless assumptions. Some of the greatest minds I’ve ever known held court while sitting on empty milk crates in the parking lots of ghetto liquor stores, and some of the weakest minds I’ve ever known roamed the campuses of colleges and universities in search of credentials in lieu of knowledge. In addition, the United States Congress is filled with people with advanced degrees, yet, it’s the biggest assemblage of absolute idiots in the world today.
.
So the mere fact that you would even ask, “And your master's degree is in . . .?” betrays the fact that you’ve been completely brainwashed. Socrates (you’ve heard of him, right?), who is accepted by most scholars as the father of modern thought wasn’t a scholar, he was a stonemason. We wouldn’t even know who he was if it weren’t for people like Plato, Aristotle, and Xenophon who listened to him holding court on the block. So what’s your point? Assess me based on my ability to think, not on how many receipts I possess, because that's how I'm assessing you.
.
Here's what the United States Air Force had to say about my son:
.
MEMORANDUM FOR OFFICER TRAINING SCHOOL SELECTION COMMITTEE
.
FROM: 92 SFS/SFO
2 E. ARNOLD STREET
FAIRCHILD AFB, WA 99011
.
SUBJECT: Recommendation for Staff Sergeant Eric L. Wattree
.
1. I wholeheartedly concur with Staff Sergeant Wattree’s request to attend Officer Training School. He represents the enlisted ranks with the highest standard and will bring that dedication and professionalism to the officer corps.
.
2. Eric continues to lead a stellar military career; his enlisted performance reports speak for themselves. His leadership and experience, especially in contingency environments, remains a vital asset to our unit and wing. As one of my primary Phoenix Raven team leaders, he’s propelled to the forefront of all major deployments throughout the world. He’s repeatedly secured aircraft and crews, supporting a wide variety of missions, in the most austere and terrorist-ridden environments where security is severely inadequate. The diversity of these missions never limited SSgt Wattree’s capacity to adapt to each situation. For this reason, Eric was selected as our 2000 Outstanding Phoenix Raven Member of the Year and the 2001 Air Force Reserve Component Airman of the Year for the 92d Security Forces Squadron.
.
3. Whether operating under peacetime or contingency operations, Eric easily assumes control and tackles every situation with meticulous tenacity, a quality highly desired in our Air Force officers. Requested by name, Sergeant Wattree, provided security for presidential Banner missions throughout Greece, Peru and Viet Nam. While deployed to Afghanistan, he flew numerous combat missions in our nation’s pursuit to eradicate terrorism through Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. Additionally, he provided round-the-clock force protection for aircraft in other high-threat environments including Uzbekistan, Pakistan and Oman.
.
4. Sergeant Wattree motivated his personnel during the worst conditions and raised the level of esprit de corps to integrate personnel from other Air Force specialties into a cohesive team. His leadership, integrity and devotion to our Air Force play an integral part in our future leadership. Eric has what it takes to become a commissioned officer and earns my full support to attend Officer Training School.

So, Professor, my knowledge is not theoretical, it's practical, tried, and true. So here's my Ph.D. Compare it to your piece of paper.
.
PROF.  MANUEL
.
“You have a lot of time on your hands to be on Facebook this much...You should really get some mental health help...To say Kanye doesn't speak for any of us only himself has driven you to such great lengths to prove your point/thoughts are correct for all black folks, sounds a little like fascism to me...I spend too much time actually doing the work of being a service to others not like you being a Facebook god...While you have created a master race super intellectual people in your family, I highly doubt that when it comes to a debate you could hold a glass of water to me...I am happy however to be the person who has given you a reason to be motivated to get off your ass and bring change to the world outside your home...As a US Marine, I would laugh at your boasting about your Air Force service but I have friends who have served in the Air Force and are not so tightly wrapped, I hope you are getting your VA compensation for that ailment...I am still chuckling at your excuse for not finishing school but yet you rail me for completing the task which makes you a hypocrite...Congratulations on creating the master race of beings in your house, you must take great pride in feeling like a demigod...lol...My position remains the same and you keep proving me correct, every man is his own individual and represents himself...Do me a favor, please explain the following black folk; Jim Brown, Bill Cosby, Kanye and all sorts of other asinine acting black men who represent YOU not me...Glad to see your became a Chair Force officer, sorry for you not getting there...Seems you have a life unfulfilled but you are making up for it with all the time you spend on Facebook acting like a superior race know it all...LOL...Get a life...”
.
[NOTE: Notice that the professor is now engaged in mindless rambling, unstructured and disorganized thinking, and even bad punctuation.  He's also attacking Black knowledge and family pride. He seems to be taking the position that a Black man is being uppity and grossly presumptuous to have the audacity to try to think. In addition, he's conflated the concepts of Black people being "represented" as oppose to being poorly "reflected upon" by the character and behavior of people like Kanye West. So obviously, all the professor has gained from the master's degree that he's so proud of is how to take on the White establishment's arrogant attitude toward Black people. But that's quite alright, because now he's faced with getting another kind of education, and he’s beginning to realize that. At this point he's desperate and in the final stage of the defeated intellect syndrome, and I'm about to ram that point home.]
.
Carlon, you’re suffering from a severe case of the Defeated Intellect Syndrome.

.

THE DEFEATED INTELLECT SYNDROME

.

I’ve dealt with people like you so often I can almost sleep through it. The only reason I don’t actually go to sleep is I enjoy watching their agony as they go down in humiliating defeat. The humiliation begins with condescension, and their arrogant assumption of superiority, then when that assumption is challenged, they resort to angry defensiveness. Finally, when they find that they’ve made a fool of themselves and that they’re clearly in over their head, they descend to desperate name-calling in an attempt to camouflage their humiliation. It’s always the same, and I enjoy it more each and every time I watch it.
.
You said, "I highly doubt that when it comes to a debate you could hold a glass of water to me." Well, here's your opportunity to demonstrate that. But, of course, you're going to come up with an excuse, any excuse, to escape that slow and agonizing death, right? Of course you are. You see, I know you, because I deal with people like you ALL the time, and I truly love watching you wiggle. Because, you see, even after I walk away from this debate, and your inane attempt to defend your tattered ego, you'll continue to think about this. I understand how the human mind works, because when I got my lowly degree in psychology, I actually absorbed the knowledge. So let me tell you your next move. You're gonna come back and say, "When I walk away from this discussion I'm not gonna give you a second thought." But you're lying, so you can just save yourself the keystrokes. Because like I said, I know you, probably better than you know your master-degreed self. So deal with it.
.
And by the way, I was also a Marine.
.
PROF. MANUEL
.
“Back to my point Mr. Superior Race...How does Kanye reflect negatively on your family to which you have boasted so much about their accomplishments!!!...You are seriously off if you still think he represents any of us...”
.
[NOTE: Mocked Black intelligence as presumptuous yet again.]
.
I've already explained that to you above, Carlon. Has the memory of it slipped through that sieve you allege is a mind so soon?
.
PROF. MANUEL
.
“Let's debate at a coffee shop and bring your data.... Man up and get you and your wheelchair to the nearest Starbucks so we can debate like men...”
.
[NOTE: The great escape.]
.
Listen, Carlon, if you disagree with me, I'll be happy to hear your point of view, because disagreement is a potential source of growth. Many of the positions that I hold today are a result of my being educated by thoughtful and intelligent people who had opposing points of view. That’s what the internet is about at its best - educating, and being educated. The downside of the internet, however, is due to its egalitarian nature, unlike in our private lives we can’t pick and choose the caliber of people that we come into contact with. As a result, we’re exposed to every manner of fool, so we’ve got to learn to weed them out.
.
Personally, I have very little patience for the ignorance and immaturity of grey-headed children with whiskers and cellulite who have nothing better to do than sit up in front of the computer in their draws (sic) and get into spitball fights with all the “un-Godly” people who don’t happen to share their point of view. So if you’re one of those people, please spare me your ignorance and go seek out someone who shares your intellectual disposition, because I have a very low threshold for stupidity. This is my final word on the matter.
.
PROF. MANUEL
.
“Now you want to take the high road and act scholarly, you are a hypocrite...Name the coffee shop and bring your data so we can have this so called debate on Kanye making all us black folk look bad...The first part of being a scholar is to learn how to listen and accept the points of views of others...This all started when I disagreed with your point and you wanted pontificate to me about your upper echelon genealogy...You are full of shit and always will be, I have very little regard for your Wikipedia degree...”

Carlon, if you really want to debate, we can do it right here. That way you can make a fool of yourself on the record. Man, this is the internet, that's what it's designed for. I'm not going to take the time to have coffee with every fool I meet online. And as for your degree, don't tell me about it, show me its value. Show me, and the world, that it's not just a receipt from some ignorant-ass White boy. Demonstrate its value right here, and right now. Otherwise, go away. I predicted you down to a tee, and let me repeat:
.
I told you, and I quote:
.
"I’ve dealt with people like you so often I can almost sleep through it. The only reason I don’t actually go to sleep is I enjoy watching their agony as they go down in humiliating defeat. The humiliation begins with condescension, and their arrogant assumption of superiority, then when that assumption is challenged, they resort to angry defensiveness. Finally, when they find that they’ve made a fool of themselves and that they’re clearly in over their head, they descend to desperate name-calling in an attempt to camouflage their humiliation. It’s always the same, and I enjoy it more every time I watch it."
.
I also told you that when I walked away you weren't gonna be able to get past this, and look at you. I have a degree in psychology, though, not a master's degree, but that doesn't matter. I'm carrying my Ph.D. in my mind, where it has value, and I can demonstrate it, right here, and right now. I don't have to go to Starbucks to debate in private in order to hide my public humiliation and ignorance.
.
You're in the final stage of the defeated intellect syndrome, and you're desperately trying to find a graceful way out in order to preserve your dignity. But face it - there is no way out. You've made a fool of yourself, professor, and that's not gonna go away, believe me. So YOU go away. Go lick your wounds somewhere else, because I can't help you at this point. I'm not gonna waste one more brain cell on your attempt to try to salvage your dignity, because trust me, you can't. All you can do now is try to prepare yourself to prevent this from ever happening again. Now, be gone, and live with it.

EPILOGUE 
.

McGuail Cropp:

.
Of course Trump would choose an idiot to represent "the Black American" no proud Black American, freedom fighter, man of and about the upliftment of Black Americans, would fit his agenda. But what do I know....I just have a B.S. in Marketing....and yes we individually represent our ppl, so how one behaves publicly has an impact on the whole....Also Kanye should be boycotted, for not being a man of Black Awareness yet posing as one who cares, final note as intelligent black leaders, it's important to debate without attacking one personally...many some u don't know look up to you and expect, you to represent gracefully, were they cannot.
.
To McGuail 
.
You're absolutely right on every issue you addressed, McGuail, and especially your last.  I thought long and hard before posting the above, because I didn't think it reflected well on how I like to present myself in articles I present for publication. But I decided that I had to because it reflected truth on two counts:
.
First, the professor’s attitude reflected an anti-intellectualism that is essential to the promotion of White Supremacy. White conservatives have lodged a brutal assault on our educational system as a matter of survival, because efficient thought is the biggest threat to their viability. In order for them to survive they must promote hatred, bigotry, and division over logical thought. So the professor got off on the wrong foot with me with his very first word - “Y’all.”  With that one word, he was promoting division, and separating his illustrious personage from the masses. So I tried to make that point, and then, either engage in a civil debate, or move on, but he wouldn’t let me. Then, he went on to characterize what I considered a very reasonable position as “bullshit,” and that’s what brought out the hood rat in me. At that point my primary goal was to demonstrate as quickly as possible that he was brandishing a puddle of pus for brains.
.
While going raw reflects a part of myself that I may not always want to present formally, it is, nevertheless, very much a part of who I am. I take a lot of pride in my intellectual pursuits, but I also take a lot of pride in the fact that I’m a product of the street. I never let myself forget that, because I view that as my strength. As the son of a lifelong heroin dealer, one of the first lessons I learned about survival is to ALWAYS respond to an individual in the EXACT same tone in which I’m addressed. I was raised to believe that anything short of that is all but inviting abuse. So while the intellectual in me always craves civil discourse, the hood rat in me don’t tolerate no bullshit.
.
I have a friend who’s a world-renowned entertainer, and she had a problem with my raw edges as well. So I wrote her a poem to explain them to her, and she finally got the point. I'm not Mr. Rogers. I'm a product of my environment, and I take great pride in what that environment made me:

.

THE HOOD RAT
.
Baby,
I’m sure you know that I love you.
You’re everything I need.
You fit the bill of all my desires,
a perfect match for all of my dreams.
From the moment I first laid eyes on you,
You were everything I craved -
that luscious vision from across the tracks,
that delicate flower, beyond my blade.
*
But what you ask is foreign to me.
You need something that I’m not.
You said, just tweak my nature a little bit,
and you’ll give everything you’ve got.
*
But that "tweak" you need is who I am -
it’s my essence, can’t you see?
How can you speak of loving my soul, but
not the hood rat that is me?
*
While "hood rat" may seem trite to you,
it’s the essence of my being.
So forget about what all the other’s say,
here’s what it means to me:
*
I’ve been brutally dragged through the pits of hell,
yet, managed to survive,
well educated and fully functional,
when I came out the other side.
I scrounged the lessons taught at Harvard,
because knowledge, I found, was free.
But they’ll never obtain the lessons I’ve learned,
or the knowledge that makes me, me.
*
While the "elite" may have heard a mournful Trane,
or Miles muted in the night,
but not in the context of hunger and pain,
or hopelessness, hatred, and blight.
*
So while I've lived the life of a hood rat,
I’ve reaped a knowledge that money can't buy;
a knowledge passed on to my son and daughter,
which has greatly enhanced their lives.
*
Thus, I wouldn't change a single thing in my life -
I’ve faced Hell and passed the test.
I have a PhD in adversity,
that's made me more,
rather than less.
*
So unlike the people at Harvard and Yale, who
try to buy intellectual clout,
they only study the genius of Miles and Trane,
while I'm who they’re blowin' about.
*
So when snobs try to slur me as "just a hood rat,"
I say, "thank you," and don’t take offense.
I take great pride in surviving the travails in my life,
That’s what gives me my confidence.
*
The Ivy League degrees of those of means
are only paper compared to mine;
while they have a "receipt" for knowledge obtained,
my knowledge is ETCHED within my mind.
*
I can teach philosophy to Aristotle
with the adversity that I’ve endured,
so any snob who tries to match my wit,
will come up short, and that’s for sure.
*
Snobs walk about quoting Socrates and such,
through their "education" they are prone;
but while they’re spewing the thoughts of various dead men,
I spend my time developing my own.
*
Never give the thoughts of ANY man
priority over our own;
You must collect the facts, and think for yourself,
that’s where Harvard and Yale has gone wrong.
*
Preacher, politician, potentate,
whatever their point of view,
God didn't bless them with any knowledge
he didn't also bestow on you.
*
So being seen as a hood rat has its advantages
against racists of limited wit;
I simply quietly wait for their condescension,
then show ‘em that they ain’t shit.
*
While God made birds to fly and fish to swim,
he made man to think and that's the key.
So any man that thinks he's superior
will have to PROVE his wit to me.
*
Thus, knowledge is the key to set us free,
no matter what the people say,
and there’s nothing more formidable than
a knowledgeable hood rat, and
that’s what you’re looking upon today.
*
Yet, these are the things you want me to purge,
and spurn the life I’ve led,
but I’m sorry, my love,
as much as I love you, the soul of a
hood rat is my edge.

A MESSAGE TO BROTHER RICHARD ABOUT WHITE FOLKS

Beneath the Spin * Eric L. Wattree

A MESSAGE TO BROTHER RICHARD:
STOP TELLING THE WORLD THAT BLACK PEOPLE HAVE PUS FOR BRAINS
.

BROTHER RICHARD ON WHITE FOLKS:
.
“The flag is a idol. And history will say nothing. They never said we stole America and murdered millions nor admitted their role in the transatlantic slave trade. So what has changed. Nothing. America was founded on racism. Slavery injustices and unequality (sic) . . . They are the same reprobates as their ancestors . . . same white racist mindset . . .”
.
RESPONSE:
.
Richard, don't be ignorant. You're sounding just like the bigots you're criticizing. Just like Black people can't be profiled as being all just alike - look at the two of us - neither can White people. If it were not for the thousands of White men who cared so much for freedom and justice that they were willing to leave the love and comfort of their homes and families to lay down their lives in the most brutal war this nation has ever fought,  you'd still be pickin' cotton on Uncle Charlie’s plantation. That’s what the Trumplodytes are mad about as we speak.
.
Human beings think with their minds, not their skin pigmentation. That's the message that we're fighting so hard to get across to White bigots who sound just like you. So you're on the wrong side of this struggle, brother. So stop being so emotional and use your mind to think. And stop confusing ignorance with standing up for your people. Black people are only 13% of the population, so we'll never be truly free without White allies. So brother, please, stop making the world think that Black people have pus for brains.
.
There are millions of White folks out in the world fighting for you harder than you're fighting for yourself. While you're out partying, swaggering, and reciting rap lyrics they're out there fighting, and demonstrating, and going to jail in the fight for justice. I know it's considered cool among many to claim, like you are, that all White folks are racist dogs, but the evidence, and history, have clearly shown that's not the case. The mere fact that you can say what you have without being lynched is clear evidence of that. 

.

.

ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE

.

Many White people have been brainwashed by the ruling class just like we have. If you'll notice, the Republican Party is made up of three different groups of people with confluent interests - the greedy, which is the ruling class, who don't care any more about poor and working-class White people than they do Blacks; bigots, who are insecure and feel threatened by the flashes of excellence that they see in Black people (like Barack Obama); and the clueless, who the greedy convinces to vote against their own interest in order for the greedy to remain viable. This latter group, the clueless, are the vast majority of the greedy's powerbase, so when Black people talk like you are and antagonize the powerbase of the greedy instead of utilizing their creativity to help to educate the clueless, we're doing ourselves a gross disservice. Enlightened Black, and White people, recognize that fact, and that's what makes them true brothers and sisters.

INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE AND THE IGNORANCE  OF BIGOTRY
.

"FREE YOUR MIND,

AND YOUR ASS WILL FOLLOW"

I've also seen your attitude reflected in the silly debate over interracial marriage. With all of the real problems we have in this world, you’d think that people would realize that becoming fixated on who's marrying who is just plain dumb.  If you don't like race mixing, simply don’t marry anyone of a different race and mind your own business.  When two people fall in love and get married, it's nobody's business but their own. Yet, in spite of the fact that most people don’t have a firm grip on their own lives, they want to try to control everyone else’s. Life could be so sweet and simple if we’d just learn to mind our own damn business.  But the fact that we just can’t seem to do that is causing much of our misery.
.
We're currently in a class war, so if the poor and middle class don't stop this nonsense, recognize that fact, and come together we're doomed. The establishment has Blacks against Whites, straights against gays, citizens against immigrants, and Christians against any and everybody who doesn't look, think and act like themselves, and it's killing us, because as we fight among one another, the corporatists are cutting all of our throats.  That's how we got stuck with Trump, instead of minding their own business, people voted their hatred and anger. Now many of them are threatened with having their badly needed healthcare taken away just to give the rich a tax cut.  But they didn't think that far in advance. All they wanted to do was erase Barack Obama's legacy from history.  They voted to hurt people they didn't like, but what they didn't consider was their votes would come back to haunt them, because they're of the very same class as the people who they're voting against.  That's the way hatred and bigotry works. It invariably backfires, because it's the enemy's most effective weapon against the people. 
.
Thus, this foolish backlash against interracial marriage only serves to undermine the people as a whole and promote the interest of our most insidious enemy, the corporatists, because hatred and bigotry divides people who should be allies in the war to save the poor and middle class.  And trying to block love is fruitless in any event. You can't put up barriers to love, because love is nature's way of perpetuating the species and forging humanity into what we are destined to become.  So these loving couples are going to roll right over any attempt to keep them apart, and they have God, nature, and the evolution of mankind on their side.
.

WHAT IS THIS AFRICAN AMERICAN'S

ANCESTRY?

As nations go, The United States is in its infancy. It’s only 241 years old among nations like Iraq that’s been around for thousands of years before the birth of Christ.  So we’re destined to become one people just like in more ancient civilizations.  Considering the way that people are coming together and intermarrying, in another couple of hundred years or so to be an American won't simply be a nationality, it’ll  to be an ethnicity, and there's nothing we can do to stop that, because that’s the way the world, and nature, works - and the social media is rushing that day forward even faster, because it's teaching people who ordinarily wouldn't even come into contact with one another that beneath our skin, we're not really that different.  If you'll notice, the internet is not divided by race. People are now grouping based on interests, and worldview, just as they should be.  Because the bottom line is, there are only two types of people in this world, those who are enlightened, and those who are unable to adapt to a changing environment.  
.
So with regard to maintaining "racial purity" African Americans have already been mongrelized beyond description. Yes, we have African roots, but pure-blooded Africans we’re not - we're AFRICAN AMERICANS, a unique and separate group of people, with our own traditions, background, and culture. I’ve had people remind me that Barack Obama is part White, and I tell them, yes, that means he’s African American, and 99.9% of all African Americans are part White.  My great grandmother, Miss Cassie, looked like a White woman with big lips, and my great grandfather was German.  Now that I’m getting older, I can’t even wear a natural anymore, because my hair has reverted back to being straight for some reason. So as Afrocentric as I've always tried to be all of my life, some White boy deep in my ancestry is having the last laugh - He's saying, "Hey Homie, peek-a-boo.”  My mother used tell me that my natural looked like a carpet, so if  somebody had told me 20 years ago that one day the wind would be able to blow my hair out of place I would have told them they were out of their mind, but that day has come. Thus, if racial purity is our goal, it’s far too late for that, so we might as well stop whining about it.  We'd be much better served to focus our efforts on bringing the poor and middle class of the various races, and every other division, together to work toward our survival.
.

But again, if racial purity happens to be your thing, instead of worrying about other people's marriages, you should be focused on many of our young brothers, because they're a huge stumbling blocks to that effort. They’re killing each other, going to jail, becoming dope fiends, and failing to educate themselves, while the National Center for Education Statistics has reported that "black women are now the most educated group in the United States." According to the report, "between 2009 and 2010, black women earned 68 percent of all associate degrees awarded to black students, as well as 66 percent of bachelor’s degrees, 71 percent of master’s degrees and 65 percent of all doctorates awarded to black students."  The report goes on to say, "By both race and gender, a higher percentage of black women (9.7 percent) are enrolled in college than any other group, topping Asian women (8.7 percent), white women (7.1 percent) and white men (6.1 percent)."  On the other hand, here's what far too many of our young brothers are doing:
.
.
What these brothers are engaged in all but insures that if things continue as they are there’s going to be a lack of suitable Black mates for Black women.  So if we really want to slow down race mixing, we need to stop hating and do something constructive about this - and in a hurry.  We need, somehow, to get these brothers to grow up, because 47 year-old teenagers don't make good fathers. 
.

THE AMERICAN FAMILY.
IT'S COMING, SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL
GET READY FOR IT.

The fact is, many Black men have a lot of opinions about what it means to be Black, but unfortunately, none of them seem to have anything to do with improving themselves and moving forward.  Most of their opinions have more to do with trying to be cool, macho, rappers, and driving big cars.  On the other hand, Black women are moving forward at an unprecedented rate. So while Black women have been renowned for their love of Black men and their willingness to stand by them under the most trying circumstances over the centuries, for a highly educated and intelligent woman to have to put up with what is essentially a child with whiskers who refers to women as "bitches" and "hoes", is going to prove more than even they can bear (although, in fairness, sometimes the reverse is also true, where we have upwardly mobile Black men connected to foot-dragging women. I've also known that to be the case).  But the point is, if we want to enhance our culture we shouldn't be wasting our time worrying about who's marrying who, because we have some serious work to do on our own lives.
.

THIS IS THE DEATH OF BLACK FAMILIES,
BLACK PEOPLE, AND THE BLACK CULTURE.

Due to our failure to address Black issues on a community level and clearly define who we are and who we aspire to be as a people, as Black individuals we're growing, or failing to grow, at very different rates. We have both absolute brilliance and absolute stupidity coexisting in the Black community.  As a result, many among us are seeking companionship on emotional and intellectual levels rather than by race.  After all, we are what we think, not what we look like, and you can only trust a person who looks like you some of the time, while you can trust a person who thinks like you all of the time.  So when looked at in that way, it makes perfect sense for an individual to seek out and marry a person who's more like themselves by disposition, worldview, and intellect than they are by skin color. When we begin to recognize that we are what we think, the color of a person's skin becomes irrelevant. 
.
People are beginning to realize that they don't have to go through life miserable by passing up their soulmate just to prove that they love their people.  If I woke up tomorrow and my woman was White, it might take some getting use to, but it wouldn't mean a thing to me, because I love her because of who she is, not what she is.
.
As an example of that, if two people were drowning and I could only save one, I'd save Bernie Sanders long before I'd even think about saving Clarence Thomas, Ben Carson, or Allen West, because Bernie thinks more like I do, so as far as I'm concerned, he's my brother. While those others may look like me, they're "brothers from another mother," and many Black people are choosing their mates by using that very same rationale. Thoughtful Black people recognize that if they truly hate bigots, they should never allow themselves to support the philosophy and mindset of one.  If they do, that makes the bigot their brother, and they're simply on the opposing team.
.

WHAT WE SEE HERE IS JIM CROW'S DYING GASP.

THAT'S WHY THE TRUMP BRIGADE IS GOING SO SPASTIC.

So haters are spitting in the wind.  In the very near future the term "American" is going to mean a people of mixed heritage born in the United States. America is, literally, becoming a "melting pot," and that's a good thing.  So as Black people, if we really want to preserve what it means to be Black, we must preserve our Black culture - and not Black culture as filtered through the eyes of undereducated rappers, but the very best of what it means to be Black - Frederick Douglass, Langston Hughes, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, etc. Because it is also essential that we educate ourselves and use our natural creativity to promote enlightenment, and due to the many adversities that Black people have endured over the centuries, there's nobody in this country more qualified to do that.
.

RACIAL INBREEDING?

So instead of using our natural creativity trying to be the coolest and most "fly" people in society, we need to follow the example being set by our sisters and focus on becoming the most educated, and most brilliant people in society - we must begin to focus our attention on owning the race track, instead of becoming the horse. And finally, we need to stop walking around hating on people who are loving one another, raising families, and trying to be productive, because they're doing what they're suppose to be doing to enhance society and to promote the evolution of humanity.
.
Nature gives us only two options, to either evolve, or perish. So we shouldn't allow our ignorance to make us the new Neanderthals.  Instead, we should dedicate our creative energy toward working on our cultural dysfunction - and that goes for Blacks and Whites alike.  Our failure to do that is what’s killing us as individuals, as a culture, and eventually, it's going to kill us as a society.
.

So if you're a hater - Black or White - your attitude betrays three inescapable facts about who you are as a person - you're ignorant, you lack insight, and you're a burden on society.  And if you're a Christian bigot, you're also a hypocrite who's destined to bounce off the walls of Hell.
