The New White Supremacy
By Joe C. Hopkins
If you stop to look at what is happening in the world, it should frighten all Black persons.
For example:
Bush, Cheney and friends decide they don’t like Saddam Hussein so they declare war and
tell the world that Hussein has weapons of Mass destruction. However, no weapons are found but the number of dead Americans
is fast approaching 1,000. Many of the dead are Black and Brown.
Bush decides that Aristide is not right for the Blacks in Haiti and out he goes so they can
set up another leader of their choosing for some yet to be determined strategic plan to benefit them but not the Haitians.
Walmart corporation asked for a permit to build a super shopping center in predominately Black
Inglewood, CA. After the predominately Black City Council said no, the white power structure of Walmart refusing to take orders
from Black folks, floats an initiative to have it their way, bypassing and ignoring Inglewood city government. They proposed
to build a city within a city with white corporations like Outback Steakhouse, and others waiting in the wings, who would
bring their businesses in and displace small Black and Brown businesses who already have a foothold in Inglewood. The employees
of the new Walmart will get training on how to apply for foodstamps and welfare to augment the low wages they will get from
Walmart.
Cynthia McKinney was elected to represent the Black folks of Atlanta. She commented negatively
about the governement of George Bush and Israel and they joined together to fund Denise Majette, a more palatable Black, to
beat out McKinney. The same thing happened in Alabama where the white dollars put up another Black to defeat Congressman Earl
Hilliard.
White record executives are funding the Rap (Crap) music industry as long as they dedicate
themselves to the denigration, demeaning and destruction of positive Black images and produce negative images of gangster
"crappers" as the image of Black America.
White educators create a program that eliminates Black creativity and allows college entry
and high school graduation only if Black kids can think like them and pass their culturally biased tests.
The NAACP and Urban League appear to have lost their will to fight White supremacy in exchange
for corporate dollars.
We should be asking question, "Why are the schools in Black neighborhoods worse than they were
before Brown vs Board of Education was ruled on, replacing separate but equal, 50 years ago?" Is it accidental or by design?
Or is this part of the new White Supremacy?
Why are we still able to drive through Anytown USA and know when we are in the Black part of
town?
Under Bush 1 we had white folks saying we needed to embrace Clarence Thomas as a new Black
leader. We answered a resounding no.
With Bush 2 we have Condolezza Rice and Colin Powell being placed before us as potential leaders.
The answer is still no. We choose Maxine and most of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Those of you who know me know I was taught that some white folks don’t sleep at night
for trying to think of new ways to keep Black folks down. Well the Bush people have had a 24 hour, 7 day week program going,
since Bush stole the election, disenfranchising us. The only question is what will they think of next? Russell Simmons or
50 Cent as the new Black leaders? No, No, No! A Tupac holiday to replace Dr. King? No, No, No!
Stay Tuned and find out what could be next.
