Blackness Is Antithetical To Life

I really hate to be the one constantly harping on this, but understand that we, a people of color, have only called ourselves Black for the last 50 years. Think about it — humans have been on planet earth — the universe, for ga-billions of years and only now, in the last 50-years of HUman existence a people have identified themselves as Black and actually moved backwards in time. 

You’ll want to hate me, for speaking the obvious without holding back, but if you just take a few minutes to read this essay, The Disease Called Blackness you too may come to realize that we must fix one of the most devastating decisions ever — the moment one of the greatest people on earth, chose to become the personification of defeat.

Blackness is NOT a fact, it is a racist, separatist, IDEOLOGY 

We are so much more than this. Our identities should speak to the future and be symbiotic with who and what we are individually, as well as the collective family of Humanity we are a part of — not some ideology created from the depths of despair and frustration fifty years ago. 

Believe me, I have absolutely nothing to gain for taking the opposite stand against an ideology that most so-called Black people merely accept. I could sell a hell of a lot more books being nice and going along with the crowd, instead of pissing people off. But someone has to open the door. 

Fifty years is long enough to suffer for the mistakes of the past, isn't it? Life is not about suffering, no matter what anyone tells you. We choose to suffer when we believe in things that we don't understand, which manifest energies into the very subatomic particles of our beings that are antithetical to life. 

#TheLastBlackHistoryMonth 

Herman Williams III

The Last Black History Month -- Ever!

 th, with

Could there be a worse time in history, for a Black History Month? Let's see, if we open up the big book -- the one into which we log the newest additions to this illustrious month, I guess we'll have to pencil in Ferguson, because Ferguson..................... is the legacy of the ideology of Blackness in America. 

In years to come, Black people will speak of it in much the same way as they remember the March on Washington. Of course, Michael Brown will replace, Dr. King as the champion of Blacks in America for what he accomplished, not as a wanna be thug who was shot for attacking a police officer and resisting arrest, but as a hero of justice and freedom in America -- the boy who started a movement! 

The #HandsUpDon'tShoot movement? No. The #BlackLivesMatter movement?" No. He started, Another Dead Nigga who knew how to put merchandize into other Nigga's pockets Movement. People will say; "He laid down his life and sacrificed himself for others, so I could  steal this new TV - this liquor - this iPhone, these diapers for my children!" 

Perhaps White America will even allow themselves to be bullied into creating, Michael Brown Day as a paid holiday. 

For the record, my name is Herman Williams III. I am a sculptor of fine cast bronze and sculptures made from 4gauge copper wire. 

I have also produced television at the highest levels for nationally syndicated efforts like the Montel Williams Show, and others.

I recently published my first fiction novel, Memoirs of An Extraterrestrial the Negro Conundrum, under the pen name H.P. Stanly, with the sequel A Hero In Hell fast on it’s heels. I’ve also written a musical, three plays, seven screenplays, and write for a blog, TheNegro Conundrum.

I would love to be invited to speak on this subject, but recognize that I am probably the least likely of individuals to be quoted on say, Dr. King's birthday or during Black History month, even though I believe my message is vital to the spirit and quite possibly the survival... of so-called Black people, as well as the state of race relations in this country going forward. 

My message isn't just for Black people, it's for anyone trying to understand how we start planning for a future of uh... continued living together on the planet. Where else are we going to go to get away from each other?

The real problem in America, sorry to say, is powerful Black Baby-boomers like, Oprah and the so-called Black intelligentsia who continue to foist an ideology of blame and constantly looking backwards upon society and on our millennials. And now they're giving out free tickets to Selma... good lord! 

Speaking of Oprah, I find it interesting that from 1986 when the Oprah Winfrey Show began, until around 1995 the last thing the show, or Oprah promoted was her Blackness. In fact, they did everything they could to build her reputation as 'Every woman's girlfriend," and avoid the discussion of race completely.

How did they accomplish this? Well, there's a little secret in the television business called, audience coordinators who are vital to the success of a show, in terms of branding and building the type of audience mandated by the producers of the show. Audience coordinators are responsible for every face the home viewer sees, sitting in the range of camera movements throughout the entire set. So if you want to create the illusion that a Black host is loved and adored by a more lucrative white audience, as far as advertisers are concerned, you make sure the home viewer sees a majority of white people sitting in the audience from the get-go. 

Here's the proof: Clip from Oprah's first show

"How can audience coordinators know for sure the race of people calling in for tickets?" 

Uh... well, that get's into another little secret about the talk show business, and audience coordinators -- they are skilled at pegging the race of a caller from their voices alone within 20-30 seconds.

Producers didn't have to be concerned with the numbers of Black people who would watch, because their participation was a given. Whites were the capital that made the Oprah Winfrey Show successful, not Black people. The point is, most people in America didn't either perceive, or believe it was important that Oprah was a Black woman hosting a talk show, but just a woman who everyone could relate to hosting a show. 

So when you think about all the success she gained by minimizing her Blackness and embracing inclusiveness, then it makes you wonder how in the world she could possibly believe that promoting Blackness is good for anyone else.  

It wasn't until she was incredibly successful that it didn't matter, and she could become Black again -- publicly, promoting an ideology that has been choking the very lifeblood of a people to death for the last fifty years. 

Again: Blackness is not a fact, it is an ideology. 

I challenge anyone to name a single race of human beings who ever existed on the face of this earth, or any planet in the known universe for that matter, whose identity was tied to being a Black people or Blackness! 

Psst... Africans do not call themselves Black people -- their identities are tied to the particular countries they live in. 

It is my contention the ideology of Blackness has literally obliterated the foundation upon which a once family oriented, education first, forthright people stood as shinning examples of courage and catalysts for change. And it only took 50 years of: "We are going to build a movement in this country based on the color of our skins that is going to free us from our oppressors, and we have to do that ourselves," Stokely Carmichael 1966 to bring it all down.

Folks, Stokely Carrmichael was a devout racist, and yes, in spite of the Black intelligentsia's denials, Black people can be just as racist as any other American. Stokely Carmichael helped build the Black Panthers/ Black Power Movement, in unison with the Nation of Islam, and the Black Nationalist Movement -- all racist/separatist organizations. 

Since then, no one can say Blacks have had the same commitment to family, education, and excellence in everything we do today when 50 - 70% of inner city black youths are illiterate. 

So if you're looking for someone with a different approach to so-called Black/American history my approach is forthright and pointed, as are my opinions, which leave no room for misinterpretation. I'm not the touchy/feely kind that holds your hand and walks you through the maze. I prefer to drop all pretenses and let it fly, because we hardly have the time for anything else. There are literally a couple of generations on the line right now -- their very survival at stake and they need to start uncoupling from the racist agenda of Blackness immediately, if there's any chance of them having a future. 

I suggest perhaps starting with one of my first essays on the topic such as Black Culture, an Ideology Built on Racism posted on my blog. Other topics include; the Disease Called Blackness, and Dr. King’s Failure & Blacks Getting Played… Again!  

The bottom line; I am not committed the promotion of Black History Month, but rather, in deconstructing what I believe is a racist ideology called Blackness that has been holding our youth back and led to this current state of racial unrest across this country. And I lay the blame at the feet of individuals like Oprah, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, and all the Baby-boomers who lived by, taught their youth and demanded the world see them not by the content of their character, but first as a Black people separate from everyone else, and that is pure racism by definition! 

Black History is simply, American history. Language and culture are inseparable –- we are one people based on the language we share and our collective culture, which is imbedded into the very words we use to describe ourselves. Speaking of language and a racist separatist ideology, ebonics wasn't created by America/whites, quite the contrary, uneducated Blacks and the Music Industrial Mind Control Complex did that.

The worst possible solution, or focus is to continue down the path of blaming society, white people or anything other than making a collective effort to go inside and save the teens who are illiterate, and who also believe they are incapable of learning. 

Movies in the genre' of Selma, et al showing white people shooting, beating, hating, enslaving, Black people are the absolute worst thing to introduce at this moment in history to black teens after a SUMMER of racial tensions... good lord... really? 

Besides, Americans do not care anymore -- they've moved on. The images from Ferguson ended America's caring. Now it's completely up to so-called Black people to solve their own problems and boy, the history just isn't there.  

The current tact by organizations under the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter and their disruptions do nothing more than create a greater wedge. There must be a greater reliance on letting the court system take care of attacks upon the individual Constitutional Rights of citizens, while at the same time engaging in the difficult work changing the underlying psychology/ideology behind much of the negative social behavior we see manifesting in Black communities across this country. 

If we don’t address it right now, these kids will become America’s problem, on so many different levels as I pointed out in an essay titled; Breeding a Nation of Murderers?

Perhaps your organization will see the benefits of becoming a catalyst to kick-start a much needed conversation within a community that badly needs it. I can take the heat, just looking for someone to see value in what I have to offer as a catalyst for change.

Dreaming that one day, people of color will demand to be treated based upon the content of our characters, our actions, and our willingness to put the past aside -- race in the background and work with every other American/HU-man being rebuilding our lives -- this world!

It is time to refute the ideology of Blackness/Black Culture and embrace what is right below our feet -- this land we helped build called America.  

Sincerely,

Herman Williams III

Blacks Do Need A Lecture -- About Capitulation, Smiley

Tavis Smiley's appearance on Sean Hannity, December 8, 2014 in which he proclaimed, "Black folks don't need lectures," referring president Barack Obama's stint on BET deserves comment. But first, here's more of what he had to say;

"Respectfully; when you tell them that these things take time... stop telling black folk they['ve] got to wait, and that these things take time... Number two, Mr. President, respectfully, when you say we can't compare what's happening now to what happened fifty years ago, tell that to the parents of these kids who are being gunned down in America's streets. It is open season on black men, and it is in many ways as bad as it was fifty years ago."

Ahhhhh....! (Me screaming) If it's as bad as it was 50-years ago Tavis, then whose fault is that? 

I can't help but hear the words of William H. Hastie, the first Negro Federal Judge, and mentor to one of the greatest HU-man beings of the modern era, Thurgood Marshal, Chef Justice of the United States Supreme Court when he said in 1934;

"For 50-years prejudiced white men and abject, boot-licking, gut-lacking, knee bending, favor-seeking Negroes have been insulting our intelligence with a tale that goes like this. Segregation is not evil. Negroes are better off by themselves. They can get equal treatment and be happier too, if they live and move and have their being off by themselves." 

The World Of Justice Thurgood Marshall, by Carle T. Rowan Little Brown 1993 pg.63

     

You see folks, if you really want to understand why Black people are still fighting for equal treatment, equal rights, and are marginalized from the rest of the civilized world, literally murdering and victimizing each other with such callus disregard that would make an ISIS Caliphate cringe, all you have to do is listen to people like the Tavis Smileys, Al Sharptons, Michael Eric Dysons, and Jessie Jacksons in this country pontificating about Ferguson. Things haven't changed much since William H. Hastie first called out their ilk. 

It's almost gotten to the point of insanity, with the so-called Black intelligentsia desperate to disavow any and all responsibility Blacks hold for creating the hellish conditions we see acting out in poor Black neighborhoods across this country. The reality of the situation is that for the last 50-years, inner city Black communities have been the most violent, trash-ridden, drug infested, murderous, broken down bastions of this society, rivaling the worst war torn countries of the world, especially in the (self-inflicted) body-count department. Perfect example; from an on-line article published by Crime Wire titled "Chiraq—How Chicago Became The Deadliest City In America," by Jessica Ruana  

"The name Chiraq first emerged after it was widely reported that more people had been murdered in Chicago in the last decade than the number of American troops killed in Afghanistan since the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom. According to WND news, “Between 2003 and 2011, 4,265 people were murdered in the city of Chicago. In 2012 alone, 512 people were murdered in the city.” The death toll has continued to climb in 2013, as Chicago officially became the murder capital of the United States. Compare that to, “Operation Enduring Freedom, the name for the war in Afghanistan, which started Oct. 7, 2001, has seen a total of 2,166 killed.” These numbers generated many headlines proclaiming that Chicago was officially more deadly than an active war zone. . . hence the disturbing new nickname, Chiraq.

If you calculated all the Blacks murdered, shot, stabbed, and robbed by Blacks over the last 50-years, the numbers would surpass all the United States servicemen and women killed in every war this country has fought since the the 1930s. Into this disaster, White police officers tread each day, (who else would want the job?) and for the most part, treat the citizens there a whole hell of a lot better than the drug dealers and gang members treat their own kind. 

Ferguson...? Please... look how quickly that city resorted to lawlessness when Michael Brown was shot? In such a city, only the rarest type of white guy is gonna work there as a cop in the first place. A place where he must put his own life on the line to "serve and protect," in a veritable war zone! They don't necessarily have to hate black people, but they're certainly not there looking to be bosom buddies. It doesn't take a genius to know this. 

And yes, Tavis Smiley in 2014 it is imperative that a young Black male be told by his mother, friends, and the corner grocery store clerk how to behave around this rare White male police officer, with a gun, when he gives you instructions. At least until we can figure out another way to turn things around. But first we must change the direction of this conversation back to its source -- the Black community. 

The Tavis Smiley's of America want to completely ignore the fact that Black people have spent the last 50-years self-segregating and proving to everyone on planet earth that they can be an angry, violent, callus, murderous, and lawless lot in the ghetto. Most people living in Americans (including Blacks) -- no wait, from around the entire world have gotten the message, and are afraid of/weary of ghetto blacks, especially their more violent version in the form of poorly raised teenagers!

This is a fact! I have spoken to countless foreigners new to Baltimore, from all over this world and the first thing they ask me is about the dangerous places to avoid -- meaning; "where are the Blacks?" Retail establishments in certain parts of the city loath to see young Black teens entering their establishments -- meaning, they prefer to see Blacks spending their money elsewhere. 

In the same interview, Tavis Smiley's outraged references to Darren Wilson calling Michael Brown a demon, is 100-times better than what Michael was called every day of his life, by his peers -- a nigga! A white man referring to a Black person as a demon means he was afraid of him, and Black people, insanely, want to blame white people for being afraid -- really?

Read essay: Another Dead Nigga

By the way, one of the definitions of the word black is evil/demonic. So I should make a note at this juncture, of my horror when a people of color, chose to collectively identify themselves as a Black people 50-years ago. Black -- one of the most negative words in the English language. If you call yourself something long enough, eventually you will manifest all the qualities associated with said identity. 'But all those negative definitions are the white man's definition of the word, and not how I define myself,' is the party line of Blacks. The only response can be, "Every word we use to define ourselves in America, comes from the WHITE MAN'S LANGUAGE, it's called English -- the Anglo-Saxons invented the whole concept of Black people being the most inferior creatures on planet earth! 

Read essay: The Disease Called Blackness

All of this nonsense goes back even further to the early 1900s and the Negroes original sin in America, under the banner of what was called the Amenia Conference, in which the Negro intelligentsia voted in favor of promoting the separatists and racist agenda of Cultural Nationalism for the America negro. They basically voted in favor of the white man's most precious dream -- that niggers would just, "live and move and have their being off by themselves," away from White people, which by proxy would keep the Negro separated into two basic classes -- "boot-licking, gut-lacking, knee bending, favor-seeking Intelligentsia Negroes," profiting from the white man's largess, while feeding from the carcasses of ghetto Negroes, just like their masr'.

This is what happens when a conquered people spend the first couple hundred years living amidst the very people who hate them -- you start acting like the former masr' towards your own kind, believing everything the masr' said about you. Next thing you know, all that remains of whatever pride and determination that once existed, falls by the wayside when you embrace an ideology of separation and racism called Blackness, which has built into the very language used to describe self, capitulation to the white man's power. 

Ergo, Black people no longer have to take responsibility for their own actions. 

Meanwhile, the greatest tragedy facing so-called Black people in the twenty-first century, has absolutely nothing to do with the numbers of young Black men getting shot by police officers! Rather, the epic disaster facing Black people for the future, are the 50-70 percent of Black teens who have decided to commit social and economic suicide by not learning to read or write!

If every police officer in America stopped shooting Blacks today -- immediately, it wouldn't save a single one of the millions of Black teens who can't read! So once again, Blacks are off getting played by a system that is probably using the protests, as cover for a major f-ing the whole nation is getting behind the scenes. And the Black intelligentsia is right there doing what they do best -- capitulating/surrendering/bowing down, preaching the same tired bullshit that has actually done infinitely more harm than good, putting another Smiley face on a f-ed up situation! 

And they call me crazy?
