During this Black History Month, I believe that it is proper and fitting for all Americans to finally realize that for Black Americans the theory behind the Civil Rights Movement was flawed and continues to contribute to poverty, crime, death, and racial strife.
It is amazing how the oppressor informs the actions of the oppressed. Black leaders today in rhetoric, style, and manner are almost identical to their old Confederate masters. Like their old Confederate masters, most Black civil rights leaders are consumed with a hatred of America. Like their former masters, effort justification and a stubborn misplaced pride in the face of all evidence to the contrary has blinded both to the fact that the racist ideology on which they staked their entire existence is unworkable. This stubborn unshakeable pride was so embedded in the Democrat White psyche that the President of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis, was quoted as saying, “If the Confederacy falls it should be written on its tombstone: Died of a theory.”
Understanding the Stockholm Syndrome that drove the Civil Rights Movement toward a suicidal love for their racist Democrat masters, as we contemplate the desperate condition of Black Americans today and provide a prognosis for their terminal disease, we can write: “Dying of the same theory.” The theory that Democrat Party education and Democrat Party caused poverty, fatherlessness, crime, mass incarceration, and death can lead to prosperity.
The political mindset of most of Black America is an artificial one, constructed by men and women in the Civil Rights Movement who were trained by southern White Democrat enslavers in America and Communist enslavers in the Soviet Union. Their theoretical thesis says, in short: “Slavery is good, freedom is bad, and the Christian Abolitionist is our enemy.”
The White Democrats who continue to hold firm to the Antebellum beliefs and revere the ideals of the old Confederacy are accused of having a “Confederacy of the Mind.” Likewise, Black people that stubbornly hold on to the belief in their benevolent Democrat master along with the failed marching, singing, legislative coercion, and stalking of racist White Democrats have a “Civil Rights Movement of the Mind.”
Understand, just as the oppression of the Democrat Party never ended and the Stockholm Syndrome of the Civil Rights movement never ended, the Christian Abolitionist movement never really ended. In its original form, to free those enslaved physically was its intent. Afterward, and even today, its goal is to free the enslaved person mentally and spiritually. But like the communists in Cuba and South Korea, these two southern relics of a bygone era hold tightly to their failed theories while their people die. They fight savagely against Christian-based freedom and have sworn to destroy it. The people be damned. These Democrat Party slave-based theories serve the masters and the elites, not the masses.
So, while the innocent people of the Confederacy were mowed down on the battlefield, and the Black Community is trapped in a cycle of poverty, incarceration, substance abuse, and murder Black and White Democrat elites held and still hold their power. This theory of slaves and masters is so deeply held that these unfortunate sheep, even today, praise the Confederate and Civil Rights leaders that have brought them only poverty, crime, and death.
This insane theory of racism and slavery has been discredited. Sadly, like today’s diehard flag wavers that still hold on to the “Confederacy of the Mind,” most Black Americans stubbornly hold on to this failed “Civil Rights Movement of the Mind.” And demand that the rest of us participate.
Like the “Confederacy of the Mind,” this “Civil Rights Movement of the Mind” is a schizophrenic mindset. Even today’s diehard Confederates say they believe that slavery was wrong and believe in justice for all. At the same time, they pine for the old Confederacy when Black inferiority and slavery were practiced in earnest.
Likewise, those Black Americans that say they believe in the forced integration of the Civil Rights movement conversely advocate for more money for Historically Black Colleges and Universities while railing against gentrification; They brag about their Black masculinity while, like children, many of the men loudly admit that they are afraid while stalking Whites that do not covet their company. They dream about a color-blind society while identifying themselves by nothing but race: The Black Caucuses, Black Majority Districts, The Black Church, Affirmative Action, Critical Race Theory, etc. They reminisce about the days before integration when Black people could keep their doors unlocked, sit on the front porch or walk down the street without getting shot. Ironically, they say they seek freedom while screaming for more government control.
The fact that over 150 years after the 15th Amendment and 100 years after the 19th Amendment, Black Americans are the only Americans that still need the permission and protection of the federal government to vote is the greatest indictment toward the failure of this “Civil Rights Movement of the Mind.” Nevertheless, like the Communists in Cuba, poverty-pimp Black Democrat politicians continue to falsely testify to its success and will find ways to punish anyone that says otherwise.
They’ve already wielded this government to re-write our history, institute their holidays, name streets after their heroes, and build monuments to their saints while tearing down others. Now they must forcibly institute their ideology. Black Americans who follow this “Civil Rights Movement of the Mind” have stupidly relinquished the truth of freedom for the lie of government security. There is a price for this pseudo-security.
Their masters say we will “give” you housing and welfare, but the father and husband must be ejected from the house. We will “give” you much more money for education, but you must give up your GOD, your culture, discipline, and your former white master must control it. We will “let” you integrate, but we will destroy your economy and gentrify your neighborhood. We will “give” you Affirmative Action, but we will choose the Black collaborators representing you. We will “protect” you, but you must give up your right to self-defense and to keep and bear arms. As a result, we are dying as a people. How do we turn this around?
Predictably, as the “Confederacy of the Mind” diminished, the South, which had been primarily barbaric, poor, illiterate, violent, and backward as a result of it, has become a haven for commerce, the arts, prosperity, and peace for all except most Black Americans. Because most Black Americans maintain this “Civil Rights Movement of the Mind,” they have traded places with the old Confederates. The once law-abiding, respectful, and family-oriented Black Community is now primarily barbaric, poor, illiterate, violent, and backward.
Still, in this disturbing fact, there is hope, for I believe that someday in the not-too-distant future, Black Americans will discover that there isn’t any future in holding on to outdated and failed ideologies. They will tire of being cannon fodder and suicide bombers for the White and Black Democrat elites who demand that they celebrate a movement that only returned them to the plantation.
Letting go of the unforgiveness, envy, and hatred of the past is their only hope. I pray Black Americans will one day decide to strip themselves of this “Civil Rights Movement of the Mind,” accept the abolition of the body, spirit, mind, and live as free and happy Americans.
