Between the Word and Me


Summary: How Black people live in White cultures.

Excellent, if overly-wordy (a fault shared with the equally-excellent James Baldwin), book about White people which understands that Whites use euphemisms and half-truths in order to live with their guilt feelings about the White supremacist nature of their cultures.

When Whites say People, they only mean White people; when they say Race, they claim something science has demonstrated as fact - despite the utter absence of any tangible evidence.

These White delusions spring from the belief that a) nature, itself, is racist; b) that Whites are the only ethnic group able to know this for sure; & c) that the White god has decreed, in advance, who is to be honored and who is to be tortured. Yet, it is recently-invented racism that produces Race - not the other way around; resulting in a superficial people who think of themselves as White - above any other consideration; leaving Whites with no more solid basis for their cultural myths than self-delusion and wishful-thinking.

Black people have never had the luxury of denying White reality by believing in American exceptionalism because they were meant to suffer as scapegoats for the inability of White Americans to achieve the exceptional - and suffering is always self-evident and undeniable. Moreover, Whites decreed that People Of Color existed solely as the basis of White wealth - a wealth Whites pretend came from their hard work when it really came from the hard work of those Whites deem to be untermenschen. For Black people to do otherwise than face reality can only result in the same personally-irresponsible, life-threatening & dream-like schizophrenia Whites wallow in every day of their lives. Thus, White police officers are merely correctly-interpreting the actual legacy and heritage of White supremacy in their openly-racist, Caucasian-accepted & genocidal behavior towards Black people.

An excellent book for Black people to share with one another and to bequeath to their children (like the similarly-themed works of the late James Baldwin) that clearly expresses the reasons for White mediocrity and the social parasitism inherent in a White supremacy based on genocide, looting and rape that benefits all White males, regardless of social class - all because they would much rather exist trapped in the gilded cage of Whiteness than live free as grown men.

The Death of Western Music

Summary: Yet another poor White kid helped by wealthy Whites to achieve not much in particular - but at least he is White.

It is taken as read that the Western classical music presented here is of some value to those listening to it and to the wider White culture which produced it, but this assumption - like so many assumptions in White culture - is not dramatically-examined in case it turns out to be untrue.

Rather than suggest that music has some inherent meaning or value in itself - or some cultural meaning around which a worthwhile society can coalesce - we are presented with the pretense that music somehow unites people - even those for whom it has no meaning or cultural or social value - without either explaining such a process and without addressing such issues as the stasis of high culture versus the vibrant dynamism of low, especially Black, culture; mockingly referred-to here.

The music here is simply on show - to be seen but not really heard - since even its Christian roots are elided in favor of sentimentality. Whites are so loyal to their own culture that they will render it purely materialistic in order to preserve what has long past its sell-by date; destroying any value it once possessed for good, in the process. The only existential choice presented in the drama is the choice not to squander one’s talent - regardless of the totalitarianism such a Hobson’s Choice affectively represents; rendering the Personal as Political as only the fallacy of Political Correctness can. No wonder Whites do not believe in free will.

The lack of human warmth and empathy inherent in White culture is emphasized, but never dramatically linked to the contemporary cultural meaninglessness of centuries-old music that has nothing to say about life in the West today. We are expected to believe that music has a therapeutic purpose in helping overcome human travails - as if paranoid-schizophrenics could be cured by music therapy. This is mystical, pseudo-religious claptrap that is the reverse of the coin of absurd claims that violent video games can make one violent. There is no empathy for any character, here, only an emotionally-repressive desire to discipline talent so it fits the patterns of the past - no matter their relevance today - as a vain substitute for family structures (eg, extended) that Whites are busy abandoning. This is why the boys here develop no lasting friendships and the grieving over the loss of the central character’s mother is all-too-brief.

There is also no dramatic exploration of the nature of talent - as if it comes from nowhere and can be appreciated by only a select few who, yet, cannot explain its existence. In this way, the characterization is poor because the characters are nothing more than stereotypical mouthpieces for the screenwriter&rsquos superficial inability to say anything of importance about music, culture, ontogeny or self-expression. Here, character is malleable and does no more than meet the needs of the screenplay, as opposed to those of human nature; leaving the audience with undifferentiated characters as part of an amorphous, multi-headed Hydra which, one moment, is hostile, the next, beneficent. This leaves the performers with nothing more to explore than the silliness that results from claiming that those with exceptional talent should be encouraged; while those apparently lacking should be left to rot. Even the always-great Kathy BATES and ever-delightful Debra WINGER have nothing more to do than be comic foil and look beatific, respectively, because the script offers them little else.

The thematic formalism and emotional shallowness of the musical appreciation shown here is never explained, nor are the motivations for doing nothing more than reproducing the modes of the past, rather than moving the form on with anything like innovation. It is laziness and alienation that leads to White culture becoming fossilized; the traditions on show here coming to exist for their own sake; serving no higher purpose other than themselves - an inward staring at a crepuscular Caucasian abyss. Pretending to be about nurturing talent when it is really about White narcissism and living in a past that is no longer relevant, this movie only hints at the validity of such a claim, while wallowing in its own sickly-sweet solipsism.

One can only assume that White culture has nothing left to offer other than nostalgia and a trumped-up sense of its own importance, as here. The music is very nice, but there is nothing to uplift the soul, stir the emotions or engage the mind, since a balance of these things is not present. After all, what is the point of producing music if it is just a technical exercise in self-discipline?

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Caucasians will Save the Day - but only in Fiction.

Political Correctness Gone Mad.

Summary: Eurocentric and Imperialistic Caucasians Pretending they can Defeat an Enemy Without Knowing his Motivations while Doctors are unlikely to Defeat a Disease without Epidemiology.

Series about loyalty to Whites as well as to the rich who continue to expect those most loyal to them to risk their lives for little return.

Whites are shown as being so enmeshed in White supremacy that they fully-realize they will never be accepted by any other ethnic group and so are prepared to die to defend their own - even if this means doing so for people who think them socially-inferior. They are given no social alternative (& are social cowards, anyway), so this is the only sense of human loyalty they will ever know - no matter how false. No clue is ever offered as to why Whites engage in such a perversely-masochistic fidelity to others when there is so little to gain from it.

Whites hate being labeled as racist, yet are only too keen to label others by alleged group affiliation as madmen or jumped-up little fanatics; under-estimating the very enemy that has thrust so much fear into their hearts in order to vainly reduce the dread of terror they spend so much time and money trying to defeat.

No political context is ever offered for the events shown since that would mean the White response to terrorism is more of the same kind of behavior being condemned, as well as the direct cause of the terrorism the characters in the series are ostensibly fighting.

The childish political simplifications of the scripting aptly-reflect the White, cry-baby narcissism of those who refuse to accept their responsibility for the terror they claim to fight as well as the fact that they find second-guessing the terrorists they have created difficult-to-impossible. (There is even the absurd claim that there was only one Cold War, when all of the periods of peace between all of the wars were cold wars.)

Like everyone who fights a losing war, this series pretends threats can be neutralized by fictionalizing them into non-existence. Whites conflate Ethnicity with Nationality to enable their support for White supremacy and its handmaiden Political-Correctness - but what will protect us from White supremacy? No one answers this question because the series supports White supremacy by being promotional propaganda for the UK Security Service, despite the fact that it contains no admission that the so-called War on Terror is a Race war - fought solely for the benefit of rich Whites.

Whites are shown as melodramatically-brave, gratuitously-violent and violently-traumatized by the existential despair they try to inflict upon others via their eloquently-martial cultures. The White characters are fleshed-out to reveal shared suffering (rather than shared joy) as the basis for White culture - a culture lacking in substantive content; hence, the White emotional dissociation here offered as espionage cool; eg, angry enough to aggressively kill, but psychopathically-unemotional immediately afterward.

The largely-mediocre actors struggle to embody their two-dimensional characters sufficiently to make us care about what happens to them. They fail; leaving us stranded in a quagmire of melodramatic gimmicks, narrative clichés and over-acting typical of Western media in its quest for false-certainty and forced-uniformity. Its images are designed to be seen as colorless accounts of knowledge, reality, morality and human nature; while unintentionally and simultaneously revealing how biased and one-sided they are.

In no other major civilization do self-regard, self-congratulation and denigration of others run as deep, nor have these tendencies infected as many aspects of White thinking, laws and policy, as they have in the West - and its overseas extensions. Thus, preventive measures against terrorism are actually impossible for Whites since they cannot study People Of Color (POC) without first denying the humanity of the latter with a political intellectualism bent on self-affirmation rather than objective study. POC are thus never to be understood and, thus, never to be defeated through an understanding of their weaknesses, flaws & motivations. Only by great good luck could the scenarios this series offers ever come-to-pass so that one day Whites will be able to live without the fear of the bombers they have created.

Ultimately, this is not a show offering much hope that the Security Services can protect us from the terror they have been instrumental in creating, since its solutions are purely Curative rather than Preventive.

Really quite laughable.

“All schools must promote ‘British Values’”

(2015)

“British Values”

Summary: The White Hypocrisy of forcing “White Values” onto others while claiming to be tolerant of difference.

Whites claim the following as “British Values”, when they are really nothing more than aspirational utopian Virtues:

  1. Democracy (ie, so long as Whites are the majority);
  2. equality before the law (ie, laws created solely by Whites);
  3. gender equality (ie, the hope that White women will not start having sex with Black men [to get back at White men for sexism]);
  4. individual liberty (ie, the liberty to infringe the liberty of others);
  5. mutual respect & tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs (ie, those whose beliefs are not White; White being the standard against which all other beliefs are judged. This was not displayed by those Whites who proclaimed Je Suis Charlie);
  6. personal & social responsibility (ie, accusing others of moral degeneracy when Whites get drunk, take drugs, have sex with children, etc); &,
  7. political freedom (ie, the freedom to impose freedom on others by force);
  8. respect for British institutions (ie, those created by, and for the sole benefit of, Whites which POC are not allowed to criticize otherwise they are to be told to leave the country).
  9. respect for the rule of law (ie, laws created solely for the benefit of Whites);

Of course, none of these claims is particularly British; making the White implication that they possess a monopoly on such values inherently false. It is also difficult, after all, to find Whites actually practicing any of these virtues in real life; ie, the reality outside the realm of White fantasizing.

Reading Between the Lines

“British Values” is actually a code phrase for “White Values”. In essence, these are:

  1. Genocide;
  2. Looting; &,
  3. Rapine.

White History

Whites are bad at studying their own history because it makes them feel guilty. Easier to pretend that the past does not matter (eg, Get over it! - even though Whites refuse to) and try to evade the issues thrown-up by such an inherently-morbid subject.

Whites, here, are conflating Values (personal qualities to be achieved) with Virtues (the means of achieving Values) to imply that merely saying one possesses values negates the need for actually possessing supporting virtues - despite the fact that Virtues are the sole means of expressing Values. (For example, the Virtue of Honesty expresses a commitment to the Value of a purposeful life.) Here, Whites are trying to act like Christians who preach Christian Values in public; while practicing immoral Virtues (ie, Vices) in private.

As UK Whites conflate Church & State (Promotion/Brainwashing; Personal/Political; Virtues/Values; Nationality/Ethnicity; etc), they also confuse political loyalty to the State with personal loyalty to Whites: A brazen attempt to make anyone not-White-enough a lapdog of Whites. Conflating the Personal with the Political means Whites taking Political comments Personally. This view that all of life is give and take and nothing is to be shared explains White hostility when others disagree with them since, then, non-White dissidents are making it clear that they will give nothing in return for the nothing Whites offer.

Why Now?

Why did Whites not teach their children so-called British values before? UK Whites have never tried to inculcate “British values” concerning openly-radical and supposedly un-British organizations like the BNP, the National Front or UKIP - because White lives were, and are, not at stake. Now, after 500 years of White racist radicalism, it is far too late to stop the radicalisms that Whites, themselves, cause - unless Whites wish to renounce the White supremacy which benefits them all, that is. This is an unlikely prospect since Whites only promote White Values - especially when their lives are in danger - because Black Values (like Black Lives) do not matter to Whites.

Because defining Britishness is quintessentially un-British, since positive British values do not really exist and because Whites assume all Whites think alike - as they assume People of Color POC do - there is no perceived White need to teach what is already (supposedly) known. The basic White idea is to teach those whom Whites fear to obey these non-existent British values, while Whites, themselves, continue to follow the three negative ones listed at the start of this posting. This explains the White Guilt that comes from any honest assessment of Britishness, as well as why the collective noun for a group of Whites is An Hypocrisy of Whites.

Whites are simply trying to foist their ethnic superiority fantasies onto others and claiming that to do so is natural and normal. And that anyone who disagrees should be discriminated against.

White paranoia

Whites are terrified of those they share the UK with - especially Muslims, at the present time - as well as being scared of the inevitable White paranoia caused by centuries of White supremacy. The latter haunts the White imagination because Whites know that such bad behavior also has negative consequences for them; eg, mental illness, fear of POC revenge, etc.

Brainwashing

Like Whites in apartheid South Africa, UK Whites need to placate their own racist xenophobia by feeble-yet-frequent attempts at brainwashing POC (eg, Citizenship Tests), in the desperate hope that such people will not seek revenge for the Institutionally-racist nature of all White cultures - throughout the world.

Whites want that everyone be loyal to them and do as they say. Multiculturalism (ie, racial segregation) makes this impossible; hence, the White resentment at any idea of multiculture because it makes the re-enslavement of POC impossible.

Whites are also terrified that POC will out-breed them and, thus, be able to tell Whites what to do in a first-past-the-post electoral system, at which point Whites will clamor for the Proportional Representation PR they have always rejected in the past (because they were in the majority).

Trying to brainwash POC is, thus, also designed to ensure POC think, talk and act like Whites so that POC will kowtow to Whites (ie, accept White values as universal values) to compensate for the decline of White culture.

One can only wonder at the loneliness compelling Whites to try to force others to be like them as recompense for Whites not liking themselves - or even each other.

White Supremacy Means Never Having to Say You’re Sorry

In all this talk of so-called British Values, there is none of Whites renouncing White supremacy as the royal road to communality. Whites refuse to give up the only means of appearing to win every argument, in the hope that they will never have to take POC seriously.

British Education

The fundamental problem for Whites with implementing such value-laden nonsense as teaching so-called British Values in the UK educational curriculum is that British education is already riven with institutional racism. Whites already teach their negative value-system - but covertly, in case anyone notices they are White supremacist. Thus, they already promote “British Values”. White teachers teach POC that they are not valued by Whites as people, simply because Whites do not wish to educate POC to do well (compared with with White children) in the competition for jobs after leaving full-time schooling. Whites prefer, instead, to exclude them whenever legally possible; using laws created by Whites that allow them to be legally racist.

POC will be invited to state that they accept White values - particularly, White supremacy - or be subject to social exclusion by Whites. But this is a meaningless threat since such exclusion is already practiced by Whites, on the assumption that POC will not accept White supremacy - a completely correct assumption, as it happens.

White Supremacy

Obviously, Whites are not going to openly-discuss their sole source of cultural identity: White supremacy. To admit that this is the underlying British Value-of-all-values would be a stroke of honesty for which Whites are not famous: It would be a tacit admission that Whites actually lack meaningful values. It would also give POC the perfect reason (among many) for having nothing to do with Whites, nor their alleged Values - in any way, shape or form. This is why Whites lie about who they are to try and manipulate others into loving them, politically, when their parents did not, personally.

Moreover, White supremacy creates the problem for Whites that no White can ever fully know himself nor, therefore, live fully and joyously. They can never know, for sure, if any success they achieve is more the result of their abilities or more to do with the unearned help they obtained from White supremacy. This explains the White inability to grow-up as the direct result of this lack of self-awareness; additionally explaining their penchant for mass murder, divorce, suicide, etc.

White Propaganda

There is little White talk of virtues that reflect these stated White Values because Whites do not practice the values they claim to possess; hence, their embarrassment and inappropriate aggression as they vainly-try to enumerate values they never actually display. Whites do not reference Rationality, a purposeful life nor Moral Choice as British Values; tacitly revealing the moral emptiness at the heart of this all-too-White debate; making this is all just more of the same Manifest Destiny propaganda of implying Whites have the best values (regardless of whether they are actually practiced or not) and, so, are the most fit to rule the world - and save it from POC in the process.

Ultimately, Whites do not wish to reflect on the abject hypocrisy and inherent contradiction of forcing White Values down people’s throats while claiming tolerance for dissent.
