I voted for Kamala and truly thought she had a chance. I re-calibrated my senses to align with the Liberal mindset only for the 2024 Presidential Election to show me that following Liberal guidance was a terrible mistake. When talks about Joe Biden stepping down began looking realistic, I had a long intense conversation with my best friend about what would be next. I told him “the Democrat Party is over, because if they run Gavin Newsom, I’m voting for someone else.” I felt that whatever process they would use to pass over Kamala Harris for a White man would be deceitful and racist. I also emphasized that running a Black woman was a guaranteed loss. The Democrat Party was stuck between a rock and a hard place, for they had an incumbent President not fit for the job, a Black, woman Vice President that America would never elect, and an extreme Liberal White man middle-America couldn’t stomach. This lack of viable options is the result of bad party leadership and a party on its heels and lacking the confidence to unsettle its stance and make big moves to advance or even save the party. Like Ruth Bader Ginsberg, fear of what would happen if an established leader past their prime stepped down paralyzed the Democrat Party. So, when Kamala Harris’ campaign began to gain steam, I had to put my foot in my mouth in conversations with my best friend. For the whole campaign he called me “Mr. doom and gloom.” It was embarrassing and I truly felt I should really do some reflecting and realign my outlook to match a vastly less racist reality than I perceived. Well, fast forward to today and we can all say, that I was 100% right. Kamala Harris’ performance in all the swing-states was uniformly abysmal. Why? Because she’s Black and has a vagina. Many will say, “it’s not that simple.” It is! There’s no reason a campaign as far behind its opponent as Kamala Harris’ should have been viewed as competitive. While there are many reasons people didn’t vote for Harris, underlying those various dispositions is a recessed level of reliable and predictable racism White America fights the acknowledgement of.
The “Net Effect” method
I’ve invented a method to counter a technique White Americans use to evade collective accountability. It’s called the “Net Effect” method. When trying to make a point about America’s overall racism, White Americans, afraid of the mirror, evade the discussion by fragmenting the White American monolith into individuals. This fragmentation method stands in opposition to how they generally act when, say, assessing which race “advanced the world.” In this case, they’ll say, “White people,” the monolith. However, to avoid responsibility in racism, they’ll fragment the White population, saying, “not all White people are racist.” This subconscious measure is a cultural protective device that essentially requires a role-call vote assessment of which Whites are racist and which ones are not, before acknowledging any racism at all or its effects. The “not all White people are racist” technique puts racism in an abstract, incomprehensible realm out of reach of the Black person needing tangibility to make a point.
To counter this evasion technique, one can simply declare that the “net effect” of White people is racism. Or, that the net effect of White people in the America’s was Black slavery. For example: less than 2% of White people ever owned slaves, which makes it hard to blame anyone for building their legacy off of African’s backs absent difficult research of census registers and family lineage archives. I mean, do we count spouses and children of a slave-holding household to be “owners?” The Census surely doesn’t and White America is not eager to reassess this misleading figure. Also, do we consider people, who benefited from slavery by having cheaper goods and a reduced White labor burden? How about citizens of non-slavery states that enjoyed Federal tax contributions and revenue derived off of the backs of abused Black people forced to work with negative compensation. It’s impossible to assess to what degree White people, who officially weren’t slave owners but were integral parts of what drove the torturous institution, caused slavery. In this case, one can simply declare that the “net effect” of White people as a whole in America was slavery. This means that despite verifiable, direct ownership being minuscule, the rest of White America didn’t wish, didn’t care enough, or wasn’t powerful enough to steer White people as a whole, to moral behavior. This is a reflection on all White people and helps drive the discussion about slavery, racism and their effects, forward. I suggest anyone wishing to get past the “not all White people are racist” evasion technique, to use the Net Effect method. In the same spirit, I’ve termed the collective of Whites that wouldn’t vote for Kamala Harris because of her race, “Net-Racist America.”
Kamala Harris Would Have Won in a Non-White Male Supremacy Country.
Kamala Harris ran a great campaign. She was dignified, competent, energetic and qualified. A White, male Democrat running the exact same campaign would have blew Trump out of the water. America would have viewed a White Democrat running Trump off the debate stage, forcing him to hide from further debates, as the reinvigoration of Democrat Party and a statement that Democrats could fight just as hard as Republicans. It’s White-male privilege to simply opt out of presidential debates, which have been an integral part of the election process since time immemorial. But Trump did! He simply said, “I’ll pass” on two presidential debates, and he still won! Had Kamala Harris decided not to do any more debates after a humiliating first one, as Trump did, America would have immediately disqualified her. Sadly, the Black Social Deficit and White Social Benefit were major factors in the same actions having a disparate effect the candidates. I write more about the Black Social Deficit here. Given the unmeaningful excuses White America gave for not supporting Harris, like her not going on Joe Rogan’s podcast, it’s not hard to imagine the same people citing her not participating in two more debates as reasoning for not voting for her, right? Net-racist America criticized Harris for not giving more details about her plans, while Trump’s slogans, “build the wall,” “seal the border,” and, “end inflation” sufficed for the exact same people. Was net-racist America using a double standard? Net-racist America faulted Harris for not solving America’s problems in three and a half years as Vice President while Donald Trump didn’t solve our problems in four years, as President! Double standard?
Net-Racist America Kept Moving the Bar
Kamala Harris signed her official candidacy papers on July 27th and a mere six days later the press was making headlines that she, “hadn’t met with the press in weeks.” This type of press coverage gave net-racist America cover to blame a Vice President not meeting with the press weeks before she even became a candidate as their reason for not supporting her. She had only been a candidate for six days. Then when she did a tv interview in late August with her running mate, they moved the bar, criticizing her for not doing a solo interview. Then when she did a solo interview, they moved the bar again, this time criticizing her for not doing a solo interview on a national outlet. Some criticized Harris for doing a taped interview. When she did a solo, live interview on a national outlet, net-racist America, yet again, moved the bar criticizing this time for not doing a solo interview on a national outlet with tougher interviews. When she fulfilled all net-racist America’s bogus requirements, by going on Fox News, a national outlet aiming to destroy her candidacy, they exploited every answer she gave to their loaded and hostile questions, claiming those answers caused them to not consider voting for her. I called it out but in retrospect, the public should now be able to see that the criticisms were less about what Harris was doing and more about who she was; net-racist America wasn’t about to elect a Black woman and, with the press’ help, kept moving the bar to establish rationale for not seeing their own racist outlook. To cover their tracks after the fact, net-racist America is now blaming Harris for not going on Joe Rogan’s show. The public began ridiculing her right after Donald Trump went on his show, which shows these criticisms were ad-hoc tools to rationalize America’s 2024 presidential election version of a poll tax and literacy test.
Democrats Exploit Minority Plight
The Democrat Party is inherently inferior because it exploits the plight of minorities to compete with the Republicans. America began as a White-male supremacist country and never corrected its trajectory. It may have at times stopped curving to the right but it has never turned left enough to trend towards true moral North. The same people whose self-outlook benefitted from Trump’s victory, White men with property and White men who gain the formers’ status by gaining property, are the same people who had full American rights when the Constitution was signed. In other words, America is functioning exactly as it was designed to. The Democrat Party subsists by exploiting the plight of everyone America’s forefathers left out; these victims of so-called Democracy can at best, hope for, not even seconds, but American freedom and prosperity scraps. The Democrats sell the hope of America, well, not being the America it was designed to be. They pretend America can change its morality and that, given enough support, they can force it to not be a White-male supremacist nation. This is like expecting a car to fly. Barack Obama was, in my opinion, the best status-quo president America has ever had. He was certainly Liberal America’s biggest victory because his presidency became a tool for White America, Liberal and Conservative to declare without the consent of Black people, that America is “post racial.” Expecting Obama to end racism, or even for the first time in American history, push for America’s first Black specific legislation that didn’t involve exploiting, hurting or killing Black people, was like putting a pilot in the driver seat of a car and asking them to make it fly. The only people who can change America’s White male supremacy leanings are White males themselves; and since this nation purposely teaches them and all Americans that America is the be-all-end-all human social model, they have no idea it is morally sub-par compared to other human groups worldwide. They also have no idea what would come next if they ever did become moral and operate this country on a moral basis. Will their new “equals” use that equality to subjugate them as retribution? Democrats make a good living controlling the second largest political party with the second-strongest political influence globally. They pretend to be the moral party with the aim of making the constitutionally neglected, whole.
Democrats’ Inherent Handicap
The Democrats contend with the Republicans but are restricted by an integral handicap; they must balance a plethora of vastly different, and often opposing social issues to keep a coalition effective enough to compete with Republicans. Many Black people were Republicans following the Civil War because back then they were the anti-slavery party. However, in reaction to successful Civil Rights legislation in 1964, the Strom Thurmond revolution moved the overt racists to the Republican party in protest. Since then, Black people have increasingly become Democrats. Much of White America thinks Black people are so dumb we vote for a name only without understanding why. They also show that they feel slavery is a significant matter when they attempt to scare us away from voting for Democrats by asserting that “Democrats were the party of slavery.” I write more about this, here. Black people understand that as marginal members of so-called “Democracy” we are merely subjects of White people’s politics and subject to what the White collective imposes on us. Democrats’ need for Black people means marginal benefits while Republicans only offer an attitude adjustment that makes Blacks ignore any ongoing systemic disadvantages Whites benefit from. They feel they can teach us to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps despite the fact they’re wearing the boots. Still they call for us to go out and get it for ourselves in a barren landscape grazed thrice over by generations of Whites. Even in this barren landscape they fence off the lion’s share of the scraps. In the political off season White Conservatives gerrymander our political strongholds, redistricting them to weaken or even neutralize strong Black areas. In areas where Black people contend with Whites, sections of the Black vote are carved out to create White advantage. Democrats fight these efforts, not to give Black people sufficient agency in democracy, but rather, because without Black support they are not a viable political party. They present these efforts as fighting for Black interests and rights when they are really fighting for the very strength that keeps them afloat. If you look at the assessments given by Liberal commentators, their solution to the 2024 Presidential election folly is not to regain Black votes by fighting for more power for Blacks to control our destiny, rather, they’re seeking the White men they drove away by being “too woke.” For a political party dedicated to minorities, it doesn’t seem that interested in keeping us.
No one appreciates that the Democrats are brokering American Black people’s political power and, being White, have all the leverage, which they dangle in front of Black people’s faces like a carrot on a stick. Minorities are desperate, happy to get any relief and support the Democrat Party for these democracy scraps. This game of manipulation keeps many Black people in the party, including myself, however excluding our unapologetic views in the Democratic Party’s outlook was catastrophic. Lack of leadership caused Democrats to inaccurately assess Kamala Harris’ prospects for winning the election.
The unapologetic Black view is the missing part of the American outlook. White people on both sides of the aisle purposely suppress unapologetic Black thought to protect themselves from the realities of their past. Democrats, practicing the same exclusion, suppressed voices like mine, which would have unquestionably told them a Black woman could never win a Presidential election in 2024. America is simply too racist. Either Democrats, blocking the unapologetic Black view, thought a Black woman could win, or, they deliberately manipulated Black people, pretending she had a chance. Both misdeeds are equally disqualifying for me and I refuse to be part of a political party so estranged from reality. It was an obnoxious waste of $2.1 Billion dollars in campaign funds and $2.4 Billion dollars in other people’s money. The Democrat Party needs a dramatic make over or complete dissolution to make way for a new party that shares power fairly across all factions. I need to be in a political party that is more vested in winning than protecting their feelings and personal outlook.
White Liberals neglected to consider one fact; most Black people have roots in the ‘hood. In the ‘hood we don’t have much bullying because, 1. We don’t have authorities to protect us from them, and, 2. Because we are big picture thinkers. In situations of dominant people taking liberties, a Black person in the ‘hood has two choices, work within the bully’s structure or face him. I’ve never been a tough guy but I rose to the task every time some dominant person tried to take advantage of me. Why? Because I knew if I didn’t enthusiastically resolve attempted bullying, I’d be open to my whole community bullying me. My point is this; Democrats have been leveraging Republicans’ racist bullying against Black people to compel Black support. This disingenuous gesture along with Harriet Tubman $20 bill proposals and Juneteenth holidays tended to keep Black people in the Democrat party. Well, like in the ‘hood, we have decided to face the bully. And, it’s not like under Democrat leadership we have no racist violence and a high amount under Republicans; police have beat, abused and killed us throughout Democrat and Republican administrations. Police killed Mike Brown during Barack Obama’s presidency and they killed George Floyd during Trump’s. The choice has always been severe police abuse versus more police abuse. Well, we’ve decided to face what Democrats claim to protect us from. We have realized that the party claiming to protect us, was actually capitalizing on our need for protection. This is immoral.
Unspoken, Unacknowledged Racism
The Republicans have a tremendous advantage over Democrats because their cause is natural to American Whites and those who can find comfort under their rule, like White women and complicit minorities. You see, while Republicans ridicule Democrats for “identity politics,” which is a claim only a party with a central identity can make, Democrats have to balance a plethora of vastly different and often opposing issues. Republicans have the luxury of simply pursuing America’s original form, which is racist and sexist. Since America began this way, Republican supporters don’t even have to consciously know they are pursuing White-male supremacy; by striving to “making America great again,” one can side-step making explicit the reality that what they’re calling “great” are times America treated its constitutional outcasts far worse than they do today. Sure, America isn’t as outwardly brutal as it used to be but we are merely grading on a curve, factoring in barbarity unique to Eurasian descendants. But don’t mistake America’s trend away from overt barbarity as altruism. White men are on a constant journey to be what Black people in Africa, male and female, were before Arab invasion and colonialism; good-faith, purposeful, problem solvers. In other words, moral.
As European explorers and missionaries travelled throughout Africa, the societies they encountered did not generally have barbarically contrived leadership like Western ones. Rather, the subjects truly loved their leaders and the leaders truly loved the citizens and worked for the common good of the society. No Western society has even begun the journey to achieving this nor does it seem any want to. Western culture developed in scarcity so it didn’t have the luxury of solving its problems in comfort. The scarce conditions meant the various European groups’ main problem was other Europeans. Their second largest problem was Mother Nature’s hostility towards them. The result was people who got good at fighting and exploiting resources; early Europeans faulted Africans for not solving European problems they didn’t have, such as castles to prevent neighbors from attacking, highly developed weapons to defend from and enable the conquest of neighboring societies, which, too had been highly developing weapons, clothes that protected from frigid climate and that did not provoke suppressed sexual urges, and systems for creating vast surpluses to leverage in trade. I point out these vastly differing cultural traits because they cause White men to be incapable of actually solving problems without an extreme mental shift. In America today, even the government itself treats society’s issues as resources, exploiting them instead of truly solving them. This is why police regulate crime, keeping it primarily confined to lower class neighborhoods and out of White middle-and upper-class ones.Government continuously exploits national debt, making private banks the main beneficiary of taxpayer labor. It exploits health by recklessly allowing private companies to get people sick then diverting tax dollars to corporate hospitals to sell medicines that make the sicknesses tolerable. America is an Exploitation Nation. I write more on the subject here.
Moral North is Not the Destination
In America, aside from maintaining world domination, White men want a pat on the back that they got it right and solved a human dilemma. The only issue is, they’re not even making realistic effort and are all too satisfied with specious results. I don’t even think they think humans are capable of truly solving these long-standing problems because Western society has no history of success in this area; it only has a history of solving its own problems by displacing its dysfunction onto others, first within Europe and then onto societies outside of the sub-continent. Western society is based on scarcity, cheating and rigging situations to create the look of intended results. Whether they achieve true results doesn’t matter as long as the attempted solution prioritizes European survival and comfort and can be postured as progress
for everyone. An easy example is Africa, where even today, White Americans will claim they “advanced the continent.” But in reality they turned it into early Europe, where poverty and war are rampant. The White people live wealthy lives at the expense of the African people. Still, the sight of modern buildings owned by White people gives White people license to claim they “advanced the continent.” A domestic example of posturing failure to look like success is through education. This nation began as a racist and sexist nation yet school history books teach us different. The result is a population mislead to think humanity is progressing when Europeans are simply channeling others’ resources to their continent and settlements outside of Europe. Our history books, especially in primary education deliberately fail to recognize America’s original immorality and considers it ideal because it is better than the conditions of old. However, when measured against true moral north, the forefathers were evil men, who were completely immoral. If there is a hell, all the men who signed the Constitution are burning in it right now, without a doubt. I don’t take any issue with this but most educators in America would. White men want to be considered good, but to be good, you have to actually be good. You have to be moral and strive for moral North. Instead, White America has replaced the “Moral South” sign with “Moral North” and, rather than strive to become better, it fights to convince the population the signs they replaced are accurate.
“Woke” is code for “N*gger Lover.”
The natural trend towards aligning truth with reality has spurred Whites to create the “woke” movement. “Woke” means “nigger lover” amongst other things. The term “woke,” as it is being used is a Black invention stolen and repurposed for White use against Black progress in a White social model. I write more on this subject here. It arose in reaction to what often gets characterized as White altruism, but was really White Americans clamoring for relief from the pain of seeing the mirror. In reaction to the George Floyd murder, White America didn’t suddenly develop a heart towards race relations, rather they sought relief from their White guilt, which rose to the surface, looked them right in the eye and told them the truth. White America designed a society to do exactly what it was built to do; make Black people an outlet for their dysfunction. White people immorally forced people to build their greatest conquest, never paid and still owe them. I write more on this subject here. The outstanding debt is increasing exponentially and White America’s collective anxiety leads them to permit unwarranted murder and abuse of Black people to reassure themselves measures are in place to prevent retribution. When this dysfunctional and immoral practice becomes apparent, White America looks towards intellectual tools to recharacterize their crime and 2020 was no different. White America looked for the most developed tool to assuage their guilt, which turned out to be Critical Race Theory. Well, the mere exploring of racism spurred an immediate counter movement amongst Whites called the “woke.” It was so knee-jerk that they couldn’t come up with their own name and stole the first similar Black term they could think of. The White “woke” movement is still strong today and it gives Liberal Whites a reason to support Conservatism, which brings me to my point about the Democrat party balancing many cultural groups’ issues. Generally speaking, helping gays hurts Black support. Helping Black hurts gay support in the form of White men. Women’s issues hurt Black support and Black issues makes many women vote with their White husbands. Black support also makes many straight Liberal White men vote Conservative, citing that things have “gone too far,” or that Liberals took the wrong measures. Bill Maher is a great example. He repeatedly talks about Black issues with all White guests yet his strong anti-Black-progression-stance softens when he has Black guests on his show; his statements turn from staunch criticisms to questions and weak, doubtful probing when the answers don’t fit his agenda. White Liberals can retreat comfortably to Conservatism when the people they exploit begin to show more ability to control their own destiny than Liberals are comfortable with.
Why Black people left
So what caused the break? While I could cite many things, there are two main issues that pushed Black people away from Liberalism. The first thing was, The Palestine genocide. Omit the word “Palestine” from maps, have the press severely bias the reporting, hide the 70% women and children death rate all you want; we Black people see what’s happening. While Black people are the most moral of America, the fact of Israel’s ethnic cleansing had a two-pronged effect. A. It made apparent to us that White America’s net disposition was just as immoral as it was when those European men who formed it came and killed off the hospitable natives. And, B. It showed Black people that White America would stand by collectively and permit the worst immorality given the opportunity to advance its ever-present goal of appropriating dark people’s land and resources for White people; Western culture hasn’t elevated its morality one bit since the murderous colonialists.
While Black people know and accept that the yield from supporting the Democrat Party was marginal, most don’t appreciate that the main draw for Black people was its postured morality. Being the party of supposed African American rights, Gay rights, voting rights, women’s rights, etc. being Democrats made one feel they were working towards the internal goal of making America good. Sadly, the unified stance against Palestinian women and children revealed Democrats to be cut from the same morality cloth as America’s founders. The driving factor of ever making America a moral country is a lost cause; its unsalvageable as long as Europeans maintain all the control. The second reason that caused Black people to break with the Liberals was White Liberals’ reaction to Black people’s calls to “defund the police. When Black people, expressing the collective trauma of police murder and abuse, called to “defund the police, White Liberals immediately unified with and continue to ally today with White Conservatives on the issue of law enforcement in America. When you combine that with the Democrat party continuously nominating candidates who have openly expressed contempt for Black people, like Hillary Clinton and her “super-predator” comment, and Joe Biden collaborating with avowed racist Strum Thurmond to create anti-Black legislation, you see that Black people were closer to the exit than our support indicated.
Defund the Police
Democrat leaders dangle change and empowerment in front of minorities while usurping the lion’s share of the political yield. Calls to “defund the police” showed Black people that Liberal White America is more politically aligned with Republicans than Black people when it comes to Black issues. Just like every powerful entity in America that uses division and the power of the press to neutralize strong Black movements, Liberal Whites immediately assuaged Conservatives’ concerns when Black people used the George Floyd murder’s momentum to gain more relief than the unified Liberal and Conservative Coalition of White supremacy was comfortable with. Although we wear it well, we Black people live in constant fear of being murdered by the state. Liberals and Conservatives enjoy the White privilege of having supposedly “equal,” competing citizens’ confidence reduced and determination quelled regularly by the state. It also benefits by having competing citizens’ minds occupied with survival instead of competing with them for the American dream. Subconsciously they must understand this because when Black people began calling to “defund the police” Liberals locked arms with Conservatives, recruited obsequious Blacks and Black mother desperate for any relief, then weaponized them against Black voices calling to defund by using media to elevate their voices above the Black majority. Two of negotiating master, Robert Dawson’s, main negotiating tenets are to, “always have walk away power” and two, “ask for it all.” “Defund the police” was an opening negotiating position, where Black people threatened to walk away (pulling their funding of law enforcement) and asked for it all (for there to be no police), yet Liberals immediately pulled this leverage from the table before Conservatives could respond with a counter. Here Liberals were with pure leverage against their supposed rivals and instead of wielding it against their supposed opposition, they looked them in the eyes and said, “Don’t worry about these Black people, we all know this is a non-starter.” Why? The underlying White unifier; fear of retribution for slavery. If the Democrat party was truly a party for minorities and not a party of White people exploiting minorities, calls to defund the police would have been taken seriously or at least used as leverage against Republicans. Defund the police was a powerful negotiating position but the thought alone scared White Liberals out of their pseudo-Liberalism and made them as Conservative as the KKK. Black people will have to just settle for less press coverage of the Black people to be murdered and abused by the state. Liberals disguise exploitation as altruism and when things got real, they showed their true colors, revealing themselves to be more aligned with the Republicans than the minorities in their party; they revealed themselves to be a lot more comfortable with the Western demon that haunts us than a true ally would be.
Watching Liberals look around the obvious reality of racism and sexism to find which detail
caused Harris to lose the election is hilarious. The elephant in the room is stomping all over their political party and the fear of looking in the mirror and seeing an accurate image of the country they designed and maintain outweighs their drive to truly win. While Kamala could have had a better answer for what she as president would have done differently than Joe Biden, and while she could have answered immigration questions a lot more forcefully, she is in a two-foot hole attempting to grab a flag placed five feet above the level ground White men stand on, yet critics blaming her jumping technique and not the inherent disadvantage. Racism and sexism are real and I have yet to see any White person take it serious by calculating the degree it handicapped Harris’ run for president. Democrats are ok with this disadvantage, which exists across all facets of America; all Black people are standing in a hole competing with White men standing on level ground, yet Democrats stand on the side dangling the same shovel full of dirt they’ve been holding since Civil Rights legislation slowed them and Republicans’ digging.
A Quick Paragraph on Sexism in the 2024 Presidential Race
It’s not my place to expound on how sexism affected the 2024 Presidential election, however, just like racism, it is a universal suppressant to American potential. As a practice I only hire women assistants because my journey began with a few White women deliberately giving me a chance. This chance helped me develop some of the confidence that generally automatically comes with being a White male. My efforts have given several women the boost they needed. I began this policy because I recognized my own sexism before I became a boss. Long ago as an Production Assistant, my boss asked me to hire more Production Assistants to set out cones on a street to restrict parking. This involved lifting heavy stacks of dirty traffic cones. I immediately began calling all the Production Assistants in my phone. Or so I thought. I, considering the physical labor and filth, realized I was mindlessly passing over all the women in my contact list. I instantly recognized this fault as sexist and vowed to consciously consider my inherent sexism when I became a boss. I decided to go a step further and only hire women and with the exception of one day on one shoot and political hires, I have only hired women, many of which have advanced to becoming my professional equal. When the production companies I work for hire or impose an assistant on me, it has only ever been a White male. (UPDATE) I just had a shoot last week where the producer hired an assistant for me and, YOU GUESSED IT, he was a White male. He did a great job, btw! The point is this: Sexism, just like racism, is inherent to America and happens automatically without effort or deliberate, conscious intent. Men, including myself enjoy an inherent advantage and the state will never make meaningful effort to fix this wrong.
Ok, two paragraphs. The #metoo movement brought out sexism in many men who would otherwise support women in their time of need. Just to reiterate, I voted for Kamala Harris and intended to, despite the current relations between men and women, give women all the power they needed to get their job done. The pendulum has just began to swing back and it will get a lot worse. This is partially women’s fault for how they wielded the power society gave them in the #metoo movement. Just like efforts to fix racism, efforts that benefit women are not altruistic, rather they were for men to save face when their immorality became too apparent. Men, in a knee-jerk reaction, gave women absolute power in regards to sexual assault claims. I can’t think of one accused man whose side was heard in this legal democracy yet currently a social “femocracy.” It’s only fair to hear both sides of a matter before culpability should be determined, both legally and in popular opinion. For instance, Harvey Weinstein, who I feel is absolutely guilty of raping many women. Can anyone tell us what his side of the story was? No! Because society was ok with women summarily judging men based solely on the women involved’s sides; the courts wouldn’t have dared find him not guilty despite the evidence. However, this type of decision making is contrary to what this nation is supposed to be and causes the long-term affect of causing citizens to accept injustice both legally and socially. We abandoned the principle of “justice.” Women should have provided leadership in this matter but they simply persecuted every accused man based on the accuser’s words. Women nationwide unified to drive men looking for clarity out of the conversation. Women were no longer accountable for their own decisions and they were fighting to be considered equal while enjoying unequal consideration. For instance, a woman taking a drink with a man would get represented as “he gave her alcohol.” Women doing drugs with a man became, “he gave her drugs.” A whole conversation was had about GHB, the “date rape” drug without any press mentioning that people do this drug recreationally and it is the amount consumed that change the experience from a pleasurable one to incapacitation. This is not to say that women weren’t intentionally drugged or caused to be more intoxicated than they intended to be, but a subject so sensitive and pressing deserves a full discussion; the public needs to be educated so, perhaps, women won’t drink or do drugs with men and risk the effects of altered decision making.
Ok, three paragraphs. The way women wielded the #metoo movement against men certainly reduced allies. They showed themselves to be more like men than men thought. They took a sledge hammer to men’s manhood, achieving the short-term effect of making men give them their space, but creating an equalization in regard towards them, which is showing itself to be detrimental. Women with no knowledge of my life used rape accusations to attempt to win arguments in online debates. Women in conversations at nightclubs shift the topic to if I’m a predator or not. When the #metoo movement first began I immediately began to make sure the consent I got wasn’t what they were calling assault. I also began my policy of not having sex with women unless I had tangible evidence of her consent. This makes the natural interaction of women and men burdensome and stressful on men and I’m sure this resulted in lack of consideration in these most trying times for women’s rights. Women’s ability to control their bodies is under heavy assault, which should have brought men out in droves. However, men voted for the anti-abortion, anti-birth-control candidate. Without a doubt, some men voted for Trump out of spite for the #metoo movement. I’m sure they rationalized by deferring to the economy. When it came to helping the people persecuting you or boosting the economy, men said “forget those women,” or, “it’s so sad, but our economy needs to be fixed first.”
Ok, four paragraphs (this should have been its own blog). My point is this: this nation began as sexist and the people of this country are a reflection of this nation’s original form. Many Black men voted for Trump despite him working against women’s right to make their own decisions about their bodies. There’s even a part of me that thinks White men, fearing the “Great Replacement” are putting measures into place to enable them to rape the next generation of White children into this world. Sure they can scapegoat fertilized eggs, pretending they are developed and aware human beings, but fighting birth control means they want unwilling women to get pregnant. When you think of the historic leniency our justice system has given to White rapists and continued efforts to lessen the penalties, the conditions certainly make it easier for White men to simply pick an unwilling baby’s mother instead of being natural and appealing to her to gain her partnership. This is creepy. Anyway, I’m sure a well thought out woman can help me with this idea so I won’t go any further than to say, the #metoo movement certainly pushed away men that could have been allies had the movement considered the accused men’s side of the story. Men feeling women were too powerful and unfairly using that power to avenge broken hearts and egos certainly detracted from support needed during this crucial time in women’s rights.
Back to Racism and the 2024 Election
Black people are now free agents in American politics. The Liberals can assemble the biggest group of church and corporate, comfortable Black people to create the illusion of a party with overall Black support but it will have the same effect of White men creating the illusion of Western morality; the reality will beg to differ. I won’t come back to the Democrat Party until White Liberals look racism right in the face, acknowledge its existence, including within themselves, its direct effect on American discourse, and work with me as equals in remedying this national ailment. As long as the Democrat party behaves as if America is a post racial, neutral minded country being swayed away from a Black woman by things as meaningless as ads and lack of in-depth responses, when her opponent lacked the same depth and had just as many hard-hitting ads against him, I will consider the Democrat Party an unserious political party vested more in saving face than winning. I voted for Kamala and wanted my brothers and sisters to vote for her too. However, my people have made a decision and we’re sticking with it. This presents a dilemma for the Democrat party. The support they finagled before will have to be earned now. Lobbying for this support will likely drive many Liberal Whites away, under the guise of the measures being “too extreme” or “divisive.” It will likely cause those who have found relative comfort under White male supremacy, including complicit Black people, to participate in Liberals’ attempt to create the same, marginally effective conditions they have enjoyed since civil rights legislation in the 1960s.
The relationship has been severed and since Democrats have already demonstrated contempt for Black people by appealing to “working class men” aka White males they can win back from Republicans by showing anti-Black leanings, although it pains me to say this; I will vote with Republicans in retaliation for the Democrat Party not trying to win us back. I am far more aligned with Democrats than many of my Black friends but many I would never expect to vote for Trump, in fact, did. We had lively debates about the presidential election and the Liberals’ aversion to racism’s reality left me having to concede defeat when I saw them after November 5th. Never again! I don’t plan to vote Democrat in the next election unless I see proposals from the party that will truly advance me; no more token benefits like Juneteenth Holidays and proposed Harriet Tubman $20 bills. I’m fully aware that Republican policies hurt the country. The political history of this country is that of Republicans trying reckless policies that create the effect of prosperity but hurt the fundamentals of our nation economics. These specious efforts are followed by Democrats creating a far more stable economic environment that Republicans then characterize as “failure,” convincing a poorly educated citizenry to throw the reigning party out in favor of return to Republican pseudo-prosperity. These superficial games have the real effect of making our national demise more imminent. We are flying in a plane that has no fuel and one party campaigns to pull the nose up, which reduces speed, maintains a lower rate of decent but increases chances of stalling. The other party campaigns to push the nose down, which increases speed but loses altitude faster and decreases chances of finding a safe landing site. Either way, the plane is doomed and neither of these solutions put fuel in the plane’s tanks. Until we embrace the reality that America’s economic prosperity tanks are severely low on fuel and plot a course forward, we will continue to plummet towards our national death. Black people have decided to point the nose down and get it over with; the plane was flying us to prison anyway so let’s take a chance with the other approach.
I’ve given up on trying to make this country moral; immoral forces similar to that of the first European men who came to the Americas is far more powerful. Nothing I can do will stop America’s dominant class, White people, from having their way. To salvage what’s left of my life and get the most out of it, I’ll just simply pursue the things that are attainable, like economic prosperity. I have White, Republican friends who can’t grasp why I have voted Democrat before. They reason that we were more prosperous under Trump. The morality factor isn’t even on their radar. This is clearly the formula for Western success so I’ll simply pursue this for the next four years and see what both parties have to offer in 2028. If the Democrats are as they are today, I will for the first time in my life, side with the Republicans and vote for a Republican president; at least we will finally see if their policies work the way they say they do. If not, the country crashes, which for me, given its current disposition, where it allows police to kill Black men then scapegoat their behavior as the cause, where it will not allow a truthful discussion about racism’s impact on its development, where it aims for the goal of 2% of my already-taxed dollar’s purchasing strength being taken away through inflation, where I can save $100,000 cash as a down payment to buy a $500,000 home, only to have the government screw up the pandemic response, massively inflate the dollar and now require me to save an additional $150,000 to buy the same home, where it allows corporations to further drive up home prices by buying up houses, further depressing the housing market. A country underperforming like this needs a dramatic shakeup and my Brothers and Sisters just made the first move. I’m with my people and am now a free agent in American politics. You have to earn my vote by jeopardizing your White support and proposing policies that benefit me directly, not consequently. Peace Democrats! Call me if you want to talk business…
