If you pay close attention to the foundation of this article, you can see that it’s centered around debunking Neely Fuller Jr. & Dr. Frances Cress Welsing’s working definition of racism/white supremacy….Until I hear Eric Wattree challenge either one of these two people in person, phone conversation, or radio talk show, on their definition of racism/white supremacy, Eric Wattree will be considered the unseen chained watchdog for R.W.S….He like anyone else has the same opportunity to challenge Mr. N. Fuller, Dr. F.C. Welsing, Prof. J. Smalls, Dr. L. Jeffries, Dr. M. Baruti, Dr, M. Ani, Dr. N. Akbar, Dr. U. Johnson, or any other black scholar that is has dedicated 30+ years of work fighting against the “system of racism/white supremacy”.

I totally agree that anyone, including black folks, can be racists. It’s important to have honest discussions about racism and how corrosive it is. However, that can only be done when we acknowledge the reality that one can also be white and experience racism at the hands of someone who is not white. We are justifiably frustrated with those outside our race who either deny or trivialize our experiences with racism, and honesty should compel us to acknowledge other peoples’ negative experiences as well. I totally agree that everyday Americans of all races are having to contend with fascists mainly within the GOP who are trying to reduce us all to a state of affairs where there are the very wealth few with the rest of us in poverty. That’s why we need as many allies as possible in fighting them.

I agree with you on this one Eric. The term racism has been so misused, used out of context, etc. that is has effectively turned, in my opinion, to verbal propaganda that is often used to obfuscate legitimate racial debate and action.

That is why I prefer to use terms like White supremacy, or hegemony to more accurately define the systemic injustices that occur between the dominant race and Black folks.

Basically, we have put all the words in the same category –>prejudice, bias, bigoty, racism. I think because of this we have lost the important nuances between each term.

For example, is racism the act or the belief system. Can I be a racist in belief but not act? Or is racism also manifested in some form of action?

My point is that our condition is unique in the history of the world and therefore we need to be able to adequately and intelligently define it in the context of America and the dominant group in the best way possible.

The way we use the term ‘racism’ now does not do a good job at that.

Black ppl can be racist and have hatred towards whites, Mexicans, and other nationalities. I hear it in everyday conversation with some black ppl.

Why do blacks and whites have to come together and agree that Jesus wasn’t white and blonde? If white ppl believe that Jesus is white, so be it? They’re gonna believe whatever they want, right?

Shouldn’t the bigger obstacle be for ALL black to believe that Jesus wasn’t white but black like them? Isn’t there a description of Jesus in the Bible stating that he had hair of wool and skin of bronze? Black church folks should realize that’s a black man. But for whatever reason, black ppl can not visualize a mighty and powerful man as Jesus being black.

I remember discussing this with a few church ladies and they frowned up their faces as if the thought of a black Jesus was revolting.

Before black and white people can talk honestly about race and racism
we must both acknowledge the widely promoted lie that
Jesus Christ was white, blond and blue eyed and the inference
that therefore God must be. Then we can talk as equal human
beings and children of the Almighty. Otherwise we’re wasting
our time and nothing will change and Sunday will continue to be
the most segregated day of the week.
