Should Antiracism be BANNED from HBCU's??

Posted By: Jason Breckenridge on April 11, 2023 The story behind the photo is that I couldn't find the Center for Antiracist research so I took this one instead. It's a bit of scholarly satire. I was giving my best Martin Luther impersonation. The essay is available at Amazon (Janga Bussaja is a pseudonym) and instead of 95 theses, only 3 are needed to crucify the concept of Antiracism. As you can see, I have serious reserves about the Antiracism movement. Let's get into why it's something black folks shouldn't be apart of. Introduction Prof. Ibram Kendi, founder of the Antiracism center at Boston University, asserts in, “Stamped From the Beginning: A definitive history of racist ideas in America” that the first “scholarly” definition of racism came from Ruth Benedict, a Columbia anthropologist: “Racism is an unproved assumption of the biological & perpetual superiority of one human group over another.” This definition remains popular in mainstream society because it allows for anyone to be racist. As if anyone can benefit from this simple assumption. Dr. Francis Cress Welsing provides a truer definition: “The local and global power system structured and maintained by persons who classify themselves as white, whether consciously or subconsciously determined; this system consists of patterns of perception, logic symbol formation, thought, speech, action and emotional response, as conducted simultaneously in all areas of people activity (economics, entertainment, education, labor, law, politics, religion, sex and war). The ultimate purpose of the system is to prevent white genetic annihilation on Earth - a planet in which the overwhelming majority of people are classified as non-white (black, brown, yellow, red) by white skinned people. All of the non- white people are genetically dominant (in terms of skin coloration) compared to the genetically recessive white- skinned people.” Dr. Amos Wilson has shortened it to this: "Racism is a rationalization and justification for economical, political and social power" I believe that the height of racist thought, is to capture a group of people… murder, rape and enslave them.. brainwash them…all in the name of racism white supremacy and then give them a poppycock definition of what it is and demand that they accept it. So, I hope you don't mind us continuing with the definitions from the top Black scholars on the subject. Overview Per the definition provided by Dr. Welsing, non white people are disqualified from receiving the benefits of the system. In other words, black folks can not be racists or practice racism white supremacy. Non white victims can certainly have prejudices like anyone else but to be a racist would mean that they believe in racism white supremacy and they have a concern for white genetic survival. Upon this analysis, the purpose then of anti racism MUST be to educate white people about the racist system their forefathers created, which does not actively require their participation. For you do not need to educate victims on how to be or practice something they are incapable of being. Now that we have some clarity, let's go on ahead and call a spade a spade then.. isn't antiracism a new way of begging white people not to be racist? Should this be the direction we direct our research and mind power? Of course not. This is why Antiracism should be banned from HBCU's. It has no academic value for us and it has little to no effect on the hearts and minds of a white supremacist. We would be better served analyzing the system in totality, following the research of the great counter racists that have come before us. Once a significant portion of us understand the Racism Game and learn the tactics and strategies that feed the machine, we can turn it off. All it requires right now is research and development. Conclusion Decades ago, the great Malcolm X was recorded saying this, "Once we can stand up like a man on our own feet, we stop begging the white man..then the world will look at us with recognition and respect...But As long as you runnin around here braggin’ about yo part in this so called American democracy..then you will always be looked down upon as a chump by the white man. You never will be given recognition nor respect. Your problem will continue to go unsolved and we’ll still be in the same rut or ditch 1000 years from now" If black folks don't step up and dismantle systematic racism... it'll never end because it was designed for our detriment. We CAN do it. We don't need white folks help. We don't need to beg them not to be racist. All we have to do is understand the Racism Game in the same capacity that dudes know the Cowboys playbook on Madden. All we have to do is know the statistics and facts in the same capacity that dudes site LeBron is better than MJ. All we have to do is understand the secrets of racism in the same capacity that women (and dudes these days) know all the celebrity gossip. Knowledge (applied) is power. Counter Racism is the way. Is there a better for this type of philosophy to blossom and grow than at a HBCU? Recognition and respect await us in the grand victory of replacing systematic racism with justice!
