There is always something that never seems to get pointed out on the racial issue, and I wish it were. It is simply this: liberals get the support of Fundamentalist Blacks by making absolutely no demands on them whatsoever to alter their fundamentalist religious beliefs. By contrast poor whites are supposed to become a combination of Voltaire and Charles Darwin or else be branded as sub-human. Does anyone suppose for a moment that if the Left spat on the religious beliefs of Fundamentalist Blacks they way they do on the identical ones of whites that they would have any Black support at all?
Notice also that even when "liberation theology" is presented to Blacks it is never secularized but presented in traditional Fundamentalist style. Theoretically one could make the same offer to poor whites, but if poor whites want to be "liberated" they are told they have only one choice: stop being religious. Or at least stop being religious fundamentalists. The Left lectures poor whites constantly about the supremacy of reason and science to the paranoid delusions of religion. Wake up and smell the coffee. So why is it that poor whites are not radicalized by mixing Marxism with fundamentalism? It would work much better than constantly alienating them, would it not? And certainly the Left's dedication to science and secularism can't be so total if they use fundamentalist religion to appeal to other oppressed groups. So why are poor religious Blacks appealed to while poor religious whites are told they must become secular at once?
You know, maybe it does work. Maybe poor religious Blacks and poor religious whites are supposed to be on opposite sides, fighting each other. At least the constant babying of one group fundies and the constant alienation of another logically and inevitably leads to this. Maybe the people who do it aren't stupid at all?
And I'm not talking about the Illuminati or David Rockefeller here people! Marxism is based on Hegelianism, and Hegelianism requires a "struggle" between two opposed forces. The entire human race isn't supposed to join together even in the struggle for socialism. There has to be a bad guy. If one does not exist it must be created. Who can doubt that every street Marxist worth his salt doesn't intentionally support one fundamentalism and attack the other explicitly to help usher in "the end of history?"
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries Irish freedom was a huge radical cause. Many Irish nationalists were Marxists. And many of them were thoroughly devout Catholics. Speeches were even made and pamphlets printed to assure the Irish that they need not amend their religious beliefs in order to serve as the Marxist/Hegelian "thesis." Meanwhile you can be sure that poor religious English were told to hate their religious heritage and discard all their religious beliefs at once. So this thing has happened before (and for a bunch of whities, at that!).
Honestly: do radical Black clergy even learn about the Documentary Hypothesis in seminary? Or are they shielded from it to keep them from bolting?
(and why can't you be on TV analyzing, instead of hacks:)
Of course poor blacks and whites are intentionally aimed at each other. It’s a conspiracy and your screen name shows you’re part of it.
Just kidding, really. But there are quite a few people who actually think that way.
That is a truly excellent post. I’m glad others pointed it out because I wasn’t going to read every post on this thread.
