lronitulstahp, thanks for your post - I couldn't agree more. I'm so tired of people who are too "diplomatic" to share their reasoning on why proportionately more black people live in poverty than white people. One thing you can be sure of is that it will include some form of pathologising all black people with a particular characteristic. This "pathology" is not real and cannot be quantified but it exists in their minds for one reason: it allows them to feel better. So by extension, Cosby's rants allow them to feel better - that's why it got posted, as a result of another thread.
There are certain debates that cannot be held with those who begin them unwilling to accept the truth. Don't feel you have to apologise for any venting, you deserve far more respect than you have received by many represented here and immeasurably more than they will ever receive. We still live in times when those who know don't talk and those who talk don't know.
Sometimes I have a hard time following the threads, understanding where folks are coming from and not sure when I voice my opinion I come off sounding like an ignorant retard. I also dont freely speak my mind not out of 'diplomacy' but rather because my pov's tend to be more 'out there' than your average bear. It often seems smarter to keep my mouth shut. Given that I will say that I do have an opinion as to why more black people (and a certain kind of white person too) lives in more poverty than white folks.
I do feel we are in essence different tribes of humans. We are meant to be harmonious, live in abundance, strength, beauty, and personal power. The fact that we dont is sickening and so boring how long it has been going on. The characteristic I would attribute more to blacks than most whites is magnetism. I believe black folks are far more magnetic than most white folks.
An example of how this might play out might run something like this: A rich white woman lives in a gated home. She has new age music playing in the background and has all sorts of support in terms of money, position and family protection from the sorts of survival issues lots of poverty stricken folks face on a daily basis.
One day that woman is standing by her beautiful child in the crib and that perfect child is screaming its head off. The woman is really pissed off but she doesnt express it in anyway. She literally shoves it outside of herself because she doesnt "do" rage. That anger fragments off of her and it is taken in by magnetic energy elsewhere. The black woman (or poor white woman) is not able to deflect this sort of thing off of herself. She is not surrounded and upheld in so many ways that the rich woman is. The fragmented rage goes into someone's magnetic field and adds to their already heavy burden. Then the beautiful child of the poor woman cries and that woman is not able to fragment the rage out of herself but she doesnt know how to express it, or deal with it, there is little to no acceptance for that emotion. You might hear her as she tells her child to "Shut the fuck up," or some other 'inappropriate' thing. The finger pointing starts, the rich white woman looks at the black lady as though she is pathetic, as though it has nothing to do with her, as though it is proof of the lack of control black folks have over their emotions. In fact it is the rich woman's crap all over the poorer woman. The ability of upper-chakra spirits to dump them out of themselves.
I am not black, I know. I realize I may not have much right to speak around these issues. The way I see it, if I see around the corners of things, gain any sort of understanding about different dynamics, it is okay to share.
You know, I like to wonder what may have happened if we hadnt spent centuries upon centuries tearing down peoples cultures. It took 400 years to pretty much destroy the Native American culture, which when the European found them was at great heights of beauty and balance, a very unique civilization. What might have happened if Africa and other places had not been submerged into a third world position. I like to imagine the contributions of these other cultures. We are so technologically advanced. If Africa was not third world I do feel it would all be more varied, interesting, colorful, warm and balanced.
