BLACK Racism in America
Racism : racial prejudice or discrimination
Prejudice : an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics
Most black Americans have been taught – since birth – to hate white Americans, “U.S. of KKKA”, “rich white people”, “White Folks”, etc.
Another example: In 1969 – in Miami, Florida – I witnessed a black man encouraging his young son to point a toy rifle at a police car driving by…the young boy raised the toy rifle and pointed it at the police car, and then the black man looked up and smiled at the police officer. I had long ago forgotten about that incidence of black hatred towards whites, until the Reverend Jeremiah Wright – Obama’s Pastor for twenty years – showed up last year. This black hatred for whites is even being taught in the black churches!
Most black Americans hate the “U.S. of KKKA” so much, that they place Africa over America first, as in African-American. The blogosphere was even “too white” for black bloggers, so they formed the Afrosphere/Afrospear. In case these black racists didn’t know it, the blogosphere is color-blind! Well, at least it was until the black racists segregated it…
How racist are these black bloggers? Here are some examples:
- Blackosphere & Whitosphere – “The Black blogger somewhat angrily disagrees with my assertion that more Black and white interaction in the blogosphere is necessary and desirable…” (Note the capitalization of the word “Black” over and against the word “white.” Dig this new word – “blogger apartheid”?!?)
- Field Negro – This site is probably the best example of what black racism is about. It shows that black hatred extends far beyond ‘Standard’ or ‘Normal’ racism, and that such hatred also includes hating other black Americans. Example:
The Field Negro blog (AfroBlog?!) runs a daily “HOUSE NEGRO OF THE DAY” ‘Award’, along with a “FIELD NEGRO OF THE DAY” ‘Award’.
- The Angry Black Woman – “Why are black people so angry all the time? Probably some dumb shit you did…” (The “you” would naturally be a white person. All the problems of black people is caused by white people, i.e. black people never cause their own problems.) “The fact that minorities, poor people, immigrants (both illegal and legal), and other marginalized parties are still treated like the gum on the shoe of the white, male power structure in this country and yet we’re all told that things are getting better.”
- Jack & Jill Politics – I frequent this blog, as an observer and commenter. Jack Turner – one of the founders – allows me to post there, so I won’t be too harsh on them. They are fervent Obama supporters, who ignore Obama’s twenty-year membership in a racist group, and do a lot of blaming whites for black problems. One can learn a lot about black hatred on that blog…
There are also a few – probably 5% – black bloggers who look beyond attributing hatred and racism to just whites and/or “White AmeriKKKa.” Of those, the baldilocks blog is my favorite. In fact, it is because of bloggers like ‘Baldilocks’ that I am always hesitant to bring up or post on the subject of black racism and/or black hatred.
The incidences of black racism and hatred are too numerous to list in this one post, so I will be starting another topic under The Pages section of this blog (see far right), entitled – Black Racism. When MSM mentions “racism” it is always in regards to or directed towards whites and/or ‘White America’, even though the examples of black racism are abundant.
The time has arrived for getting rid of the:
The time has arrived to stop black racists like Bobby Rush from pulling the RACECARD every time that they want to attack whites. Bobby Rush ignores his own history of racism directed towards whites, and he also ignores Obama’s twenty-year history of being a member of a racist group – TUCC.

It is nice to be so loved, admired and watched.

Blackman and blogger!
Looks like you called the Ravens/Titans game correctly…Ravens are tough this year.

You begin with a bogus definition of prejudice. Is it irrational? Is the hostility justified? Is prejudice based on characteristics or differences in values? I argue that racism and prejudice are logical excuses to continue what has been done for years with no accountability. I argue the hostility has been taught by prior generations and it is expected in some households. I argue it’s not about characteristics, but instead a difference in values. Not enforcing the law makes people take the law into their own hands on both sides of the issue. Witness Oakland, Rodney King, and Diallo. We can forgive, but we can never forget because it’s shoved back in our face on a daily basis. Race matters and it’s not irrational. Until the values change we will have justified hostility. It’s better to use words than bullets. Poor Law enforcement doesn’t believe in talking. Who’s values need adjusting?
Cecil,
The link works and the definition is very accurate. Your points here actually prove my points, i.e. you argue that black hate and racism are – “logical excuses.” Your points are similar to James Cone’s claims that “black hatred is not racism.”
Hate is Hate…Racism is Racism. You and Cone think that blacks can be excused for their hatred…I don’t excuse any hate or racism.
You should read my posts on slavery and Arab-Islam slavery. “The first record of African slavery in Colonial America occurred in 1619.” Do you know what a Colony is? The American Revolutionary War was fought to gain FREEDOM from the British…it lasted about eight years, 1775–1783. Importation of slaves to the newly formed United States of America “officially ended in 1808.” The American Civil War (1861–1865) – was fought to end slavery…it resulted in “about 1,030,000 casualties, including about 620,000 soldier deaths.”
Slavery in the USA lasted 82-89 years, and the Thirteenth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution officially ended slavery in 1865. It took two wars to gain that freedom.
In summation – The former victims of racism have now become the racists…
Karmi, the U.S. Civil War was not fought to end slavery.
The fact is that the war broke out for other reasons, and the Union didn’t even decide that it would seek to end slavery until fairly late in the war. This was also long after most Union soldiers enlisted–or were conscripted–so few, if any, of those soldiers chose to fight, even in part, to end slavery.
You also mention that the importation of slaves into the “newly formed” United States officially ended in 1808. This is right (although the U.S. had existed, in its present form, for a full generation by then), but the U.S. did relatively little to enforce that prohibition. The government often looked the other way quite openly, and as a result tremendous numbers of slaves were openly imported into the American South, particularly in the 1840s and 1850s.
Slavery in the American colonies, which later reorganized as the United States, lasted for about 250 years, while the descendants of those slaves have had equal rights, at least under the law, for only about 40 years.
The Civil War was fought over slavery – “The coexistence of a slave-owning South with an increasingly anti-slavery North made conflict likely.”
Far more slaves were sent to the Middle East (Muslim countries) than were sent to the West, and/or across the Atlantic Ocean. The first Europeans to use African slaves in the New World were the Spaniards. Most slaves went to Brazil – “the main importer of slaves.”
“Europeans usually bought slaves who were captured in tribal wars between African kingdoms and chiefdoms, or from Africans who had made a business out of capturing other Africans and selling them.”
Slavery in the USA lasted 82-89 years…simple as that.
I agree, Karmi, that the existence of slavery in the South made a civil war more likely. But that doesn’t mean that the war was “fought to end slavery.” In fact, as I’m sure you realize, Lincoln and the rest of the North had no intention whatsoever of launching a war to end slavery. In fact, they were eager to avoid a civil war and to maintain the status quo.
It’s also not true that “far more slaves” were transported to the Middle East than in the transatlantic slave trade. The latter trade transported roughly 12.5 million enslaved Africans over four centuries, while estimates for the former range from below to above 12.5 million, over a much longer period of time.
As for the use of slaves in the New World, most slaves did not go to Brazil. The most common destination was the Caribbean, followed by Brazil and then the North American mainland (the American colonies and, later, the U.S.).
I’m not sure what your final quotation is mean to say. All slaves in the transatlantic slave trade were purchased from Africans; Europeans did not enslave any Africans during this period, as far as we know.
Finally, slavery in the U.S. lasted 76 years, if you don’t want to count the period before the founding of the U.S.
Perhaps it would suit you better to say that American slavery lasted for about 250 years?
P.S.

Here’s something to consider – History of women’s suffrage in the United States
James,
Not sure where you are getting your info from, but most of it is wrong. Anyway…
History of the Arab-Islam Slave Trade – The Arab slave trade from East Africa is one of the oldest slave trades, predating the European transatlantic slave trade by hundreds of years.
Arab-Islam Slave Trade – While slavery only lasted 3 centuries in the west, it has lasted 14 centuries in the Middle East and exists today in many Muslim countries. Same link – Estimated 200mil black Africans have died in the last 14 centuries as a result of Arab/Islam tans Sahara’s slaves trade which still exists in many parts of the Muslim world today.
Also, check out the DR. JOHN HENRICK CLARKE videos.
Karmi, I stand by the facts I’ve offered. Please feel free to let me know what fact(s) you believe might be wrong.
You mention that the Arab slave trade is much older than the transatlantic slave trade. That’s certainly true, and that’s why I mentioned that it lasted for a much longer period of time. It involved transporting roughly the same number of slaves, but far fewer per year, over many more centuries.
You also mention–and this is the only thing you say which contradicts what I wrote–an estimate that 200 million Africans died in the trans-Saharan slave trade. In support of this, you cite … yourself, apparently quoting from a YouTube video.
Estimates for the trans-Saharan slave trade vary, but none come anywhere close to this figure. For instance, Ronald Segal, in Islam’s Black Slaves, offers a range of 11.5 million to 14 million over 14 centuries. I fail to see how a figure of 200 million dead from the trade could possibly result.
Hi James,
I’m watching the NFL playoffs today, so am trying to squeeze in my replies here. ;-)
Anyway, the “200 million” seemed high to me also, and apparently that video doesn’t work anymore. DR. JOHN HENRICK CLARKE claims that the Arabs sent “30 – 40 MILLION AFRICAN SLAVES” eastward…he didn’t say how many the Persians took and sent.
Point is, the world has decided that the USA is to be blamed for the history of slavery, and that is simply not true. The USA has been a minor player in the history of slavery.
Segal’s claim of 11.5mil – 14mil over 14 centuries is ridiculous…we’re talking about Muslims here, Muslims who castrated their male slaves and who were not interested in them reproducing, i.e. the Muslims would just capture or buy more. Heck, Muslims still deal in slaves…
We are all people….forget about the color please. Color dosn’t matter.When will this racism end? A “black” person is human. A “white” person is human….both the same.
I’m tired of seeing forums and articles about this…It sickens me. Forget about skin color!
“Forget about skin color!” Tell that to the Democrat Party, i.e. they are totally about Identity Politics and promoting hatred. Racism and hatred of whites is promoted and pushed in black churches, e.g. Obama’s TUCC. Best that I can tell, some 90-95% of black Americans are racists, and their whole life revolves around hating whites.
I totally agree with Zed.
I am from a small town in the Mid-West. I am white and I have had many black friends over the years. I NEVER thought of them as “black”. I just thought of them as my friends. They just had a better tan than me :) I love all Gods children. And pray for those who teach and preach hate in any form. Growing up, I rarely ran into white racism. Nor did I encounter blacks that felt they were unfairly judged because of their skin color or blacks that were racist.
Then I moved to Memphis, Tennessee. What a culture shock. If any of you have seen the movie Sweet Home Alabama, here is the quote that identifies Memphis…”You need a passport to get in down here”. The first form of racism I encountered is that I am considered a Yankee. And a lot of Southerners in this area, hate anyone that is not from the South. And what is funny about that is that I am only a second generation American on one side of my family and a third generation American on the other side of the family. In saying this, I am not a Yankee in the Southern, Memphis sense as my family was not in America during the Civil War, which is well and alive here. Secondly, neither country that my heritage is from imported/exported slaves, so reparations is not something I should feel obligated to as my family had no part in it. But I digress. I would say that a good majority of the black population in Memphis (the city is over 60% black) judge white people one way or another according to their skin color. How ironic. And it is just as hateful as I have been treated by whites for being from the “North”, hate to tell them but I’m from the Midwest. To be honest with you, it is so bad here that I don’t usually tell people where I’m from for the fear of their reaction. It is terrible here. Most people who have had the unfortunate situation having to move here all feel the same…they can’t wait to move away. EVERYTHING within the government here is voted on down racial lines. We have 2 sets of government, county and city. This is because the majority of people living in the city are black and want things run by blacks and the other way around in the county. I tell you as a God fearing person, it is very difficult not to become predudice in this environment. It is something I pray about almost daily. And what is another awful result of living here is when you need to vent to someone about it “back home” in the Midwest, they only know what they hear on the news and that is that the racist down here are only white. So there is only those who live here that are not from here that you can talk to.
It’s time for the WORLD to stop judging. That includes one country judging another. ALL countries, all nationalities, all religions and most of all sexi have one time or another been enslaved. And what is worse is it is still going on. In Africa, the young women that are being sexually mutilated. The women in some extreme Muslim countries that are wearing burkas and treated like dirt. The young girls and boys in many third world countries that are being sold into the sex slave trade. The young children in China working in factories. The people in Africa being forced to work in the diamond mines. Muslims throughout the world after 9/11 who are not the radicals that are terrorizing the world. The Jews throughout history all over the world. The racial/religious divide between India and Pakistan (no matter where you reside). I could go on and on and on.
People, don’t believe all of what you are hearing on t.v. or read in the newspapers and or internet. Experience it for yourself. Don’t judge people by what you’ve heard one way or another. As I experienced. I thought most Southern whites were racist because of what I had heard. But it is just a bad in the black community against whites and other nationalities. This is what I “have” experienced and it truly hurts my heart.
Love one another Brothers and Sisters, what ever you are. The world will be a better place for it
