Black Supremacy Essay -- essays research papers fc
Black Supremacy     Through break history, white anglo-saxons have been notorious formistreating all races other than its own. Malcolm X felt "the white small-arm hadbeen actually nothing but a piratical opportunist who used Faustian machinationsto make his own Christianity his initial wedge in criminal conquests"(563). The hu macrocosm beings is burdened by the white man That is the true meaning of what Malcolm Xis stating the words Faustian machinations, meaning evil plotting, implies thewhole white population is out for the blood of other races. Many members of theblack race are adopting the idea of Afrocentricity some call it black pride, Icall it black supremacy. Afrocentricists are reinforcement their ideas withreligion and the need for liberation.     The liberation of the black man is needed Molefi Asante describes "theAfrocentric awareness as the total commitment to African liberation anywhereany everywhere by a consiste nt determined effort to even off any psychic, economic,physical, or cultural damage done to Africans"(50). Liberation from what...thewhite race? Molefis statement is solely ludicrous the first copy of hisbook with this statement was printed in 1988, in my opinion blacks were fairlyliberated in 1988. Now the second part of his statement, repair what damage?Any psychic damage which has been thrust upon the black race has not occurredfor quite some time slavery...not in my lifetime nor separate bathrooms werein my lifetime. And I am not about to feel sorry about what happened before mytime. Economic damage is not the white mans fault either. In this daylight anyonecan do whatever he/she likes. The truth to the economic matter is that many ofthe "oppressed" races feel they now deserve a free ride. suddenly no physicaldamage has occurred in my lifetime. As for as cultural damage, cultures evolve,they do not get damaged. Clearly all liberation of the black man has alreadyo ccurred, therefore, there is know further need for reimbursement.     The white race is evil Further, the Afrocentric cause attempts to usereligion to denounce the white race as heathens according the Yakub myth, "thecolour black...is the primal colour other colours, consequently, are merelyshades of black, except for white, which is the absence... ...d are calling it liberation. No, the human race willnever learn from history we will just repeat it. The main question is willtheir ever be racial harmony in the world? I just dont know.          "We shall have our manhood. We shall have it or the earth willbe leveled          by our attempts to gain it."                                        --EldridgeCleaverWorks C itedAsante, Molefi. Afrocentricity.
