In related news, I was downtown a couple of days ago mailing stuff, and as I was coming out
of a drugstore,
I got approached by a black guy on the sidewalk, who pushed a "Black History" pamphlet
into my hand ... and then solicited a donation.
I've seen these guys in Toronto for ages, and always suspected they were peddling some black
nationalist agenda, but had never coughed up the money before. This time I did: $2 for a 16-page,
photocopied, letter-sized tract, with a very poor-quality photo of Barack Obama centered on the cover,
surrounded by nine other jigaboos ... I mean, black men (including Farrakhan, Elijah Muhammad,
MLK Jr., and probably Winnie and Nelson Mandela), plus Che Guevara and maybe Fidel Castro.
Inside ... page 4 has a 19-item "Word Find," on the topic of "Disaster Supplies (Prepare Yourself)."
Candles, Canned Food, etc. Item #19 is "FAITH"—which, oddly, you're supposed to try to find in
a sequence of letters that spell out (I am not making this up) "INSECTREPELLENTWITA."
Below that, on the same page, is a "Fill in the blanks" section: Sudan (answer: Darfur Region);
Civil Rights Activist (Al Sharpton); Reverend (Jeremiah Wright); White Mother, Black Father (Barack
Obama); and Millions More Movement (The. [sic] Hon. Min. Louis Farrakhan).
Page 5 has lists of inventions, grouped by the inventor's race: Black, Asian, Hispanic, Caucasian,
and Native. (Ran out of space to list Jewish ones, I guess?)
There's 30 "Black Inventions," from Traffic Lights (these people capitalize like
Da Free John),
Cellular
Phones and
Ice Cream, to the Alphabet,
Chess
and the
Golf Tee (invented by Tiger Woods?), to the
Typewriter and
Piano.
Of course, the piano was actually invented by an
Italian, chess by East Indians, and golf tees by (surprise!) the Scots,
few of whom are really "black" per se. But, you know, in spirit....
(Other falsely claimed "black inventions" mentioned in the "Black History" pamphlet include
traffic lights [invented by a not-particularly-dark-skinned
Mormon],
the clothes dryer,
the shoe,
the remote control,
the printing press [Johann Gutenegro],
the helicopter,
the gas mask,
the fire extinguisher,
and the elevator [Archimedes, fer Chrissake!].
Probably the
mop and
toilet, too, though "blacks" have some claim, via Egypt and
Persia, on the latter. But this is what happens when people have accomplished so little
in their history, and possess such a low average IQ as to be widely unable to compete on anything
resembling a level playing field today: They go stealing other people's work,
presenting it as their own, and overall just bullshitting through life. Truly, I've begun to
wonder whether Ken Wilber might be part black.)
Asians, by contrast, are credited with a mere ten inventions, including calculators, the VCR, and
noodles.
Hispanics, again a mere ten, including the Windmill (for
Don Quixote to tilt at; also turned out to be
remarkably useful in Holland) to Magnetic Brakes (helpful when
driving carelessly!) to Birth Control Pills. (Well, they do reproduce like
rabbits, even with 'em!)
Caucasians, again a round ten: 1) Military Tank 2) Rifle 3) Bullet 4) Rocket 5) Nuclear Reactor ...
9) Barbed Wire fence 10) The game of Basketball
I know, you were thinking blacks must have invented basketball, 'cause "white men can't jump."
Au contraire. Aside from that, who but whitey would think of inventing such a battery of weapons
of destruction? Why, the very race reeks of violence....
Natives, alas, invented only five things: the Totem Pole, Toboggan, Snow Shoes, Kayak, and The game
of Lacrosse.
A most
peace-loving race, as you can see from the impossibility of
robbing a liquor store using only a Toboggan or a pair of Snow Shoes as a weapon.
Page 6 has the story of
Willie Lynch, who (according to the current propaganda I'm absorbing like a
sponge) was responsible for the whole eponymous "lynching" thing.
Just like, centuries later, the citizens of Canada would get "Trudeaued" up the ass.
Page 7: A bio of Barack Obama, who "has written (3) books" ... though technically Bill Ayers
may well have written/rewritten
at least one of one of them. As they say: "OBAMA REPRESENTS CHANGE IT IS TIME TO CHANGE."
The left-third column of page 8 is devoted to a short bio of Che Guevara, which surprisingly notes that during
his time "some 150-550 people were executed by his judicial orders" at La cabana fortress prison.
No doubt all of them were guilty, as charged, of traitorously impeding the success of the
Revolution.
The rest of the page is a biography of the Belgian Congo's
Patrice Lumumba, one-time "traveling beer salesman."
Page 9: Harold Cardinal and
Chief Pontiac bios. Injuns, both of 'em, in a transparent attempt
to curry pemmican favor from a Native people who have only ever invented five things,
none of which can be used to hold up a damned liquor store.
Cardinal "authored 2 critical statement [sic] on Indian policy in
Canada," while
"Pontiac's plan foiled [sic] and he laid siege to the fort [Detroit] by surprise
and soon was joined by 900 worrier's [sic] from a half dozen tribes."
Well, if there's one thing that won't help you win a war, it's battalions full of namby-pamby "worrier's."
Red Cloud, too, was apparently a "Lakota worrier." No wonder they lost all their land.
Page 10: Three featurettes of black men, each tagged with "Where is the justice?"
John White,
Sean Bell, and
Mumia Abu-Jamal
The next page has BIRTHDAYS (all sic): "May 11- The Honorable Louis Farrakhan ,May 19 Malcolm x ,Jun
7 Allen Iverson ,Jun 15 Josiah Henson ,Jul 2 Thurgood Marshall ,Aug 15 Maxine Waters ,Aug 17
Marcus Garvey ,Aug 29 Michael Jackson."
With Farrakhan, you know you're in the company of racists; with Garvey, doubly so; and with Michael
Jackson ... lock up your prepubescent boys!
Page 12 finally gets into the hard-core Afrocentrism I've been expecting to find.
There's a long list of "facts":
-
Africa was named after a Caucasian man by the name of
Leo africanus [sic].
-
America was named after an Italian man by the name of Amerigo Vespuchi.
-
All people come from black people. Read
Message to the Blackman
-
The Black Woman is the mother of all civilization. Read Message to the Blackman
-
Pork is a Divinely prohibited flesh. [This is how you know you're dealing with Jews ... I mean Muslims.]
-
HIV Aids did not originate on the African Continent or come from Black People.
-
Egypt belongs to the African Continent. [This is how they get to claim that "blacks" invented things
they barely know how to use.]
-
There is no such thing as the Middle East. (Where is the Middle west, north, and south ? ) [sic and
just plain stupid]
-
The whole earth at one time was called Asia. Read Message to the Blackman
-
In 1519 Pope Julius 2nd commissioned Michael Angelo [sic] to paint pictures of
Jesus white to re – enforce white supremacy.
-
Jesus of 2000 years ago was a
Black man.
-
The Greeks learned civilization from the Egyptians and later taught
it to the Romans.
Stolen Legacy.
Everything non-trivial there is wrong, of course. Read Mary Lefkowitz's
Not Out of Africa if you need to have that confirmed for you.
Page 13, though, is what we've really been waiting for: "THE 'N'-WORD."
In toto, and sic:
The word "Nigger" can be traced back in history to the Latin word Niger,
meaning black. The word became a noun, Negro (A black person) in English
and the Color black in Portuguese and Spanish. In the early 1800's despite
it's origin it was established as a degenerative word. It remains a symbol of
white racism in the 21st century regardless of who is using it. All ethnic and
racial groups over time have been victimized by racial slurs; but, blacks have
endured more than any other group in America. We were called names such
as coon, tom, picinny, buck, sambo, savage, buckwheat, mammy and
jigaboo. These names have been painted into literature, cinema, caricatures,
whether spoken, written, put in the media, material objects to create a
network to spread anti-black prejudice. The word "nigger" historically
limited, made fun of, ridiculed, and defined all blacks. The "N" word
strengthened the stereotype of the worthless nobody, dirty, lazy, stupid
whether used as a verb, noun or adjective it was a term of exclusion, a verbal
reason for discrimination. Check out these terms associated with the "N"
word. Niggerish: Acting in a lazy and irresponsible manner. Nigger luck:
Derogatory term for good luck .Nigger heaven: Designed places usually the
balcony where blacks were forced to sit for example, Movie theatre or
church. Nigger rich: Deep in dept but flamboyant . Nigger steak: Cheap
meat. Nigger stick: A police officers baton .Nigger tip: Leaving a small tip
or no tip at restaurant .Nigger work: Demeaning, meaning work. When whites
mix with blacks- Nigger worshipper. The ultimate American insult is the
word "Nigger". It is also used to offend other ethnic groups as well such as
some Jews [!] are called white-niggers; Arabs sand niggers; Japanese yellow
niggers. We also use this term in ways such as " A nigger can't even get a
break", "Sistas want niggers to work all day", "He's a lazy good for nothing
nigger", ""This car is such a nigger", I'm sick and tired of these niggers
bothering me!, Me and my niggers are tight", and the biggest one of all the
universal greetings of young black men "zup niggah". These ugly words
originated from the past so we as black people should not be prisoners of the
past. When our ancestors came to America by force before having our
names and language changed we knew each other as Brother and Sister not
the "N"-word. Let us all strive to call each other brother and sister from now
on. Much More on the "N"-word next issue.
Holy fuck—did I just commit a "hate crime" by reprinting this from "Black History" magazine?
Oh, well, I guess that's just my "nigger luck"....
Page 14 lays out ten "Issues of the Millions More Movement":
1. Unity
We call for unity amongst all African people and people of African descent worldwide. We call
for unity with our Brown, Red, Caribbean, Central and South America, Asia and all over the world.
"The Power of One" is the synthesis of men, women, youth and elders working in unity for
our total liberation.
Notice any race missing from that "Power of One"? Yes, the race that they all need to be "liberated" from!
Whitey!! (And Jewsey!!)
6. Reparations
We demand full and complete reparations for the descendents of slaves . [sic] We demand that
America take the appropriate steps to help in the repair of the damage done from 300 years of
slavery, 100 years of segregation, and 50 years of the misuse and abuse of governmental powers
to destroy Black organizations and leaders.
7. Prison Industrial Complex
We demand freedom for all political prisoners held in the U. S [sic] prisons
and detention facilities, both foreign and domestic. We demand an end
to police brutality, mob attacks, racial profiling, the herding of our young men and
women into prisons and the biological and chemical warfare perpetrated against our people."
I'm guessing they're referring there to AIDS as a
white and Jewish genocidal plot to get rid of blacks.
Typical ghetto paranoia and idiocy (even if only 20% of blacks live in ghettos today).
9. Artistic/Cultural Development
We advocate for cultural development, and for the knowledge of our original
culture to be used as a model for future advancement.
Yeah, that'll work. Big Man with
fifty wives,
cannibalism and crucifixion. Good one.
Page 15 is an open letter to George W. Bush in 2002, on behalf of Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam,
written by Louis Farrakhan himself. In it, the racist warns the Shrub not to pursue Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
$2 well spent.
So, that's what leaving the apartment to go downtown got me. But I just had to get out: I could hear the
Underground Railroad calling me.
You know: The subway.
The paperback is already in stock at amazon.com, and the eBook available online,
though the official (bookstore) publication date isn't until February 1, 2009:
The stuff toward the end of the book about me getting into my recording
studio was actually backdated "for dramatic effect."
(I'm in no way satisfied with the files I've got up on
MySpace now,
but to do that properly, I need to spend a week ... or a month
... on each song—doing full instrumentation, and layers upon layers of
Beach Boys-like harmony vocals—rather than
just half an afternoon.) Same for the unpacking of my bankers boxes.
And the "fortune cookie" dessert actually happened on a different night
than the conversation-about-the-first-Jewish-programmer-at-"HAL" evening
in the same café. Also, some names (and names of places) have been changed.
Aside from that, however, all of the conflict happened exactly
as it's presented, with no more provocation from me than has been documented
in the book.
Back in February, before I was even
certain I'd ever write this book, I happened to see a BBC interview with
a sniveling black, effete British
playright, where the only way I got through the half-hour of listing to him
drivel on about how much he and his people had suffered,
and what the rest of the world supposedly owes them for the fact that
his mother used to try and reshape his flat nose into a "white" one, etc., was
by asking myself, "How can I use this?"
So if you're wondering where the "reparations" stuff in the Epilogue came from....
Needless to say, this time I've really gone too far, I'm an awful person,
blah-blah-blah, and it's
entirely possible that the Thought Police (and
CHRC) will look very unkindly on all this.
