Black Supremacy
The
hate that dare not speak its name.
[Order David Horowitz's new book: The Enemy Within: How a
Totalitarian Movement is Destroying America.]
When
a white police officer in Ohio shot and killed Ma’Khia Bryant, stopping her
from plunging a butcher knife into the chest of an unarmed black teenager, the
racial melodrama that is destroying the very fabric of American society reached
what the “woke” refer to as an “inflection point.” At that moment, the
narrative of the national lynch mob – verdict first, due
process be damned – collided with an
impossible reality: a white cop saving the life of a black child. Unable to
resolve this dilemma, the woke mob simply refused to see it.
It
was left to Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse
Cullors to formulate their
denial bluntly:
The
verdict of George Floyd’s murder was a victory in accountability but not a
victory towards abolition [of the police]. While we watched Derek Chauvin be
convicted for murder, a Black child named Ma’Khia Bryant was murdered by
police, proving there is no justice.
Patrisse
Cullors is a racist whose sociopathic premise is: all cops are guilty and
all black criminals are innocent. This is also the premise and rationale of all the riots and
protests of the year just passed: White cops are racists, and blacks their
innocent targets, even if they happen to be armed criminals resisting arrest.
Through these ideological blinders, the Ohio event - a white cop rescuing an
unarmed black teen about to be murdered by a knife-wielding black teen – was
simply impossible. The fact that the knife-wielding black teen was shouting
“I’m going to stab the
fuck out of you, bitch” as she thrust a butcher knife towards her intended
victim’s chest was just
inconceivable. If white cops protected black victims from black criminals, the
goal of abolishing the police could not be justified.
It
is a truism that equality and justice require a single standard by which
everyone is judged. There can be no justice if black people are innocent
regardless of the facts, and whites are guilty despite them. This is a simple
truth that everyone recognizes - except when it comes to race. Universally
absent from such discussions, therefore, is a taboo subject: black racism. Yet, it is an incontrovertible fact that the
overwhelming majority of homicides against blacks are committed by blacks.
Moreover, the largest overtly racist organization in America today is black.
The Nation of
Islam is a racist religion, headed by America’s most virulent,
anti-Semitic, anti-white, anti-gay bigot, who is also black: Louis
Farrakhan. According to Wikipedia, the Nation of Islam has an
estimated 50,000 members; currently, according to the same source, the Ku Klux
Klan has 3,000.
In
the theology of Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, the white race was created
4,000 years ago by a mad scientist named Yakub. White people were created when
Yakub extracted the “brown germ” from the “black germ,” diluting black blood
and bringing into being a morally inferior strain of humanity — “white
blue-eyed devils,” - who became the scourge of humanity. “The whole Caucasian
race,” proclaimed Farrakhan’s predecessor and mentor, Elijah Muhammad, is an
“evil and murderous race”
of “devils.”
Like KKK grand dragons of old, but with the colors reversed, Farrakhan has
called the white man both the “anti-Christ”
and subhuman.
In
a sermon delivered in 2011, Farrakhan said: “There is no
human being on earth that has murdered more living things than the Caucasian.
He is a murderer and a liar.” “White folks … cannot be reformed [because] you
cannot reform a devil…. You have to kill the devil.” In a sermon delivered
in July 2015 Farrakhan said:
I’m
looking for 10,000 … fearless men who say death is sweeter than continued
life under [white] tyranny…. [I]f the federal government won’t intercede in our
affairs, then we must rise up and kill those who kill us; stalk them and kill
them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling!
Despite
– or maybe because of – these views, Farrakhan is arguably one of the most
influential black voices in politics today. One of his disciples is Al
Sharpton, the MSNBC host, racial arsonist, and principal eulogist at
the black martyr George Floyd’s memorial. In a notable speech in 1994 at Kean
College, Sharpton boasted,
White
folks was in the cave while we [blacks] was building empires … We built
pyramids before Donald Trump ever knew what architecture was … we taught
philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos
ever got around to it.
In
the same speech, Sharpton claimed that
America’s founders consisted of “the worst criminals, the rejects they sent
from Europe … to the colonies.” “So [if] some cracker,” he continued, “come and
tell you ‘Well, my mother and father blood go back to the Mayflower,’ you
better hold you pocket. That ain’t nothing to be proud of. That means their
forefathers was crooks.”
Despite
these views, every Democrat presidential candidate in the 2020 primaries sought
Sharpton’s endorsement and vouched for him as a “civil rights leader.” They did
so in part because he was President Barack Obama’s “point man” on “civil
rights.” In August 2014, Politico.com published a feature story titled, “How Al
Sharpton Became Obama’s Go-To Man on Race.” The piece stated that
“Sharpton not only visits the White House frequently, he often texts or emails
with senior Obama officials such as [Valerie]
Jarrett and Attorney General Eric
Holder.” From January 2009 through December
2014, Sharpton visited the
Obama White House on 72 separate occasions, including five one-on-one meetings
with the president and 20 meetings with staff members or senior advisers.
In
1994, Malik
Zulu Shabazz, now the National President of Black Lawyers for
Justice, praised Farrakhan,
his mentor Elijah Muhamad, and “the Black revolution.” At a “Black African
Holocaust Nationhood Conference” which was held as a prelude to Farrakhan’s
Million Man March in October 1995, Shabazz stated that “America should be glad
that every black man is not on a killing spree for all the suffering they
[white Americans] have done.” He then introduced the conference’s keynote
speaker, Khalid Abdul Muhammad, infamous for saying “[t]here
is a little bit of Hitler in all white people,” and for advising blacks that
“[t]here are no good crackers, and if you find one, kill him before he
changes.” Shabazz described Muhammad as “a man who gives the white man
nightmares,” “a man who makes the Jews pee in they [sic] pants at night,” and a
man who was “like black Raid on white roaches.”
Fourteen-term
Congresswoman Sheila
Jackson Lee is on record saying, “All those who wore sheets a
long time ago have now lifted them off and started wearing, uh, clothing, uh,
with a name, say, I am part of the Tea Party.” In July 2005, Jackson Lee was
one of numerous Congressional Black Caucus members who met with
Farrakhan and took photographs with him. Jackson Lee also introduced a 2006
Farrakhan sermon at a Houston mosque, where she praised the
Nation of Islam for having “always been on the forefront of leadership without
apologies.”
One of Farrakhan’s more notorious leadership forefonts
has been his hate America foreign policy. In November 2018, he traveled to
Iran to chant “Death to America” and “Death to Israel. In 2013 Congressman Andre
Carson joined New York Rep. Gregory
Meeks and then-Minnesota Rep. (and later DNC chairman) Keith
Ellison to attend a dinner hosted by Iranian President Hassan
Rouhani, where Farrakhan was also on hand.
In
2011, current House Majority Whip James T.
Clyburn, the kingmaker who clinched Joe Biden’s nomination for
president, shared a stage with Farrakhan who discussed the notorious
anti-Semitic screed of the Nation of Islam called The Secret Relationship
Between Blacks and Jews.
The book claims that
there is “irrefutable evidence” that Jews “kidnapped Black Africans
disproportionately more than any other ethnic or religious group in New World
History.” After Farrakhan spoke about the need for blacks to pool their
resources and work together, Clyburn said:
“I want to thank Minister Farrakhan for offering up a number of precepts that
we ought to adhere to.” When Jewish organizations criticized Clyburn
for having appeared at the event, the congressman said he was
“not bothered in the least bit” by the criticisms.
In
a February 2018 interview, Congressman Danny
Davis, who had obtained the permit for
Farrakhan’s Million Man March, attended by hundreds of thousands of blacks,
heralded Farrakhan as “an outstanding human
being who commands a following of individuals who are learned and articulate,
and [who] plays a big role in the lives of thousands and thousands and
thousands and thousands of people.”
In
2018, Congresswoman and “Squad” member Ayanna
Pressley held a campaign event with
Nation of Islam members outside the Muhammad Mosque No. 11 in Boston. Two years
later, she went to the House floor and said:
“Centuries of institutionalized oppression will not be undone overnight, for
racism in America is as structural as the marble pillars of this very
institution.”
In
2013, current Georgia Senator Raphael
Warnock, who at the time was the senior pastor of the
Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, declared: “It was
the Black Muslims who challenged Black preachers and said, ‘you’re
promulgating … the White man’s religion. And that’s a slave religion…. We’ve
needed the witness of the Nation of Islam … to put a fire under us and keep us
honest.” In an October 2016 speech,
Warnock said: “America needs to repent for its worship of whiteness.” In June
2017 he said:
“Racism is America’s preexisting condition.”
Warnock’s
religious “mentor”
was the late James
Cone, the Black
Liberation Theology founder who argued that “the goal of black
theology is the destruction of everything white.”
In
2002, 15-term Congresswoman Maxine
Waters attended a Nation of Islam convention at
which Louis Farrakhan stated that
because the United States was supplying Israel with military equipment and
weaponry, Palestinians had no choice but to engage in suicide bombings. At one
point during the proceedings, Farrakhan told the audience: “We have Maxine
Waters here, our great congresswoman from this area.”
In
early 2006, Waters and at least three fellow members of the Congressional Black
Caucus — Barbara
Lee, Al Green, and
William Jefferson — met with Farrakhan to discuss how the U.S.
government should respond to the devastation that Hurricane Katrina had
inflicted on the Gulf Coast a few months earlier. Farrakhan praised Waters
and the other CBC members for the statements they had made on that crisis at a
recent House Financial Services Subcommittee meeting and asked them to “tell me
how I can be of service.”
During
a Martin Luther King Day event at Al Sharpton‘s National
Action Network in January 2019, House Democratic Caucus
chairman Hakeem
Jeffries likened President Trump to a Ku Klux Klan
leader, calling him
“a hater in the White House” and “the grand wizard of 1600 Pennsylvania
Avenue.”
In
a June 2020 interview,
former Black Panther leader and current congressman Bobby
Rush told Politico that, “The Chicago Fraternal Order of Police is the
most rabid, racist body of criminal lawlessness by police in the land. It
stands shoulder to shoulder with the Ku Klux Klan then, and the Ku Klux Klan
now.” When the Daily Caller contacted Rush
and a number of his fellow Congressional Black Caucus members to ask if they
would be willing to publicly denounce Louis Farrakhan, Rush and 19 others
declined not only to denounce him, but also to issue any comment at all
regarding his infamous anti-Semitic, anti-white ravings.
Tamika
Mallory, a leader of Black Lives Matter and the Women’s March, claims that
“white Jews, as white people, uphold white supremacy.” In May 2017, Mallory
posted a photograph of herself with Farrakhan on Instagram, describing him
as “the GOAT,” an acronym for “the Greatest Of All Time.”
Reverend Jeremiah
Wright was Barack Obama’s political advisor, spiritual mentor
and personal confidant for twenty years. In a sermon at Howard University,
Wright said:
“Racism is still alive and well. Racism is how this country was founded, and
how this country is still run.” Condemning “the
milky white way of life,” Wright has attributed black-on-black crime to a
racist white culture that gets “white racist DNA running through the synapses of
[black people’s] brain tissue.”
An
unapologetic admirer of Farrakhan, Wright regards him as “one of the most important voices
in the 20th and 21st century.” Wright accompanied Farrakhan
on a 1984 trip to meet with Farrakhan’s friend, the Libyan
dictator Muammar Qadhafi. He helped organize Farrakhan’s
Million Man March and later described it as “a once in a lifetime,
amazing experience.” When
a number of prominent African Americans counseled fellow blacks to boycott the
demonstration because of Farrakhan’s history of hateful rhetoric, Wright derided those
critics as “‘Negro’ leaders,” “colored’ leaders,” “Oreos,” “house
niggras,” and “darkies” who were guilty of “Uncle Tomism.”
In
2007, Wright said:
“Minister Farrakhan will be remembered as one of the 20th and 21st century
giants of the African American religious experience. His integrity and honesty
have secured him a place in history as one of the nation’s most powerful
critics.” On October 10, 2015 — the 20th anniversary of
Farrakhan’s Million Man March — Wright spoke at
a Nation of Islam event in Washington titled “Justice or Else!” — the precise rationale for the Black Lives
Matter riots: “No Justice, no peace.”
Harvard
University professor Cornel
West has branded the U.S. a “racist patriarchal” nation where
“white supremacy” continues to define everyday life. “White America,” he
writes, “has been historically weak-willed in ensuring racial justice and has
continued to resist fully accepting the humanity of blacks.” West is a
close personal friend of Farrakhan’s, whom he refers to as “my dear brother.” West
served as an advisor and organizer for
Farrakhan’s Million Man March and passionately defends him, lamenting that
Farrakhan has been “demonized by
the mainstream.”
The
late Derrick
Bell was the founder of Critical
Race Theory, which the Biden White House is currently foisting on
America’s school children. Bell was an acolyte of Farrakhan, describing him as
“smart and super articulate,” and calling him, “perhaps the best living example
of a black man ready, willing and able to ‘tell it like it is’ regarding who is
responsible for racism in this country.” Among Farrakhan’s
telling-it-like-it-is statements, is this:
“I wonder, will you recognize Satan. I wonder if you will see the satanic Jew
and the Synagogue of Satan...because Satan has deceived the whole world.” In a
1992 interview, Bell summed up his feelings: “I see Louis Farrakhan as a great hero for
the people.”
It
is safe to say that no white supremacist in America today wields a modicum of
the influence that Louis Farrakhan and his noxious racism exert on the Democrat
Party, Black Lives Matter, and black America generally. No white supremacist
organization could mobilize a Million Man March as a manifestation of its
strength, or call on such an array of congressional leaders for moral and
political support. No Republican members of Congress hold such rabidly racist
views as Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, Ayana Pressley, Hakeem Jeffries, James
Clyburn and other prominent Democrats too numerous to mention in a relatively
short article. Yet a wall of silence hides this disturbing reality from view.
Consequently,
there is no discussion of the influence of black supremacists and black racists
on the violent actions of Black Lives Matter, criminal interactions with the
police, or the obvious anti-white racism of the Democrat Party and the Critical
Race Theory doctrines it is promoting in America’s schools. According to
Justice Department statistics, there are over half a million violent
interracial crimes involving blacks and whites in the course of a year.
According to those same statistics, 90
percent of those crimes are committed by blacks against whites.
Common sense should tell us that as long as black racism cannot be discussed,
Americans cannot possibly advance the cause of racial justice, racial equality
or racial peace.

The S&P is up 11%, QQQ up 8%, MSFT 17% and HD up 22%. Even the out of favor tech giants are up around 2-3%. SPACs on average are down 30% and are under SEC investigation, Bitcoin is down around 20%, and NFT might be down 100% given there is no market for them. I think you get my point. My strategy is to stay with the big, strong cash flow, well managed, top brand companies, and to ignore the sexy stocks and gimmicks of the moment. You might have made a lot in Bitcoin or Dogecoin, or a SPAC, but these are not investments. They are magic money, or crappy companies that lose money, or have a questionable future. I prefer to be an investor long term with a solid gain of 11% YTD on top of 29% in 2020. My point that I have made numerous times is, if you want to make money relatively safely over time, then buy solid companies with real cash flow, and a real balance sheet, that is not over levered, and has sufficient liquidity to withstand times like last April. You might miss a quick buck now and then, but over time you will make real wealth creation. And now is the time to be all in with good companies to take advantage of the record setting growth in GDP we are in the early stages of. There are always black swans, and now there is a real risk of the Dems and the White House screwing it up with the far left policies and gross over spending, and taxing they are pursuing. But for the moment, it is time to be all in equities. I realize most people do not really understand the stock market, and rely on a money manager, which is fine, but like all professionals, there are very good money managers, and just average ones. Be sure to do your homework when picking a manager, just as you would do when picking a doctor to do a major surgery, or a lawyer to handle a case. You are handing your savings over to whoever you choose, so choose carefully, and make sure you have some say over your general strategy and goals. I continue to manage my own money on Schwab with zero commissions. I was recently asked to predict what the PE ratio should be now. My response is, I have no idea as the fundamentals seem not to matter right now. It is a moment to be all in. However, the smart sophisticated investors have their finger near the sell button, and are just watching where things go. Any market prediction of more than a few months is just a shot at a dart board. Computers control 70-75% of trading, so that just complicates any forecasting. When I see NFTs, and Dogecoin, I know there is no longer any rationality to investing.
