Tharaka Namal - Why can't the black community in the US come together in a specific place and call for some independence from the white government?
Muhammad Rasheed - The Black community isn’t a hive mind; they are composed of numerous tribes with their own goals, ideologies, political leanings, etc. “Black Nation” would be a more accurate descriptor. It would not be easy for all Blacks to come together to build up their economic-political power under a “Blackness” banner for two reasons:
- It isn’t natural to do so under racial phenotype. The European ethnic groups were able to come together under the economic theft system of “whiteness” over centuries because it was fueled by the obscene wealth amassed from their colonialist blight as well as the fear of being wiped out from vengeance wars. For Blacks to come together even for their own basic-level defense under centuries of traditional anti-Black systemic racism, it wold still take something equally as extreme.
- Whites are understandably extremely protective of their White Supremacist Ideology and the anti-Black systemic racism for which it stands. They have literally spared no expense in making sure Blacks do not rise up and reverse the reins of power, which includes both physical and psychological terror campaigns that have induced a macabre trust in the abuser from the abused.
