The Extraordinary Ranks of the Lowly Support Class


David King - Do Black People seek acceptance from Whites?


Muhammad Rasheed - When the 13th Amendment loophole was actively being exploited by the desperate former slave owners as they sought to reclaim their lucrative Black flesh chattel economy, the new ‘Black male stereotype’ emerged. The old, jovial, happy-to-be-a-slave stereotype was now replaced by the ‘inherently criminal, rapey Black man’ stereotype, which has persisted into the modern day with the rise of the for-profit prison industry’s anti-Black slavery 2.0. The documented literature of the time period showed a brief pushback from the middle class Black community, insisting that the propaganda wasn’t true…

…and then suddenly it changed. The Black community pivoted on their heels and began parroting the “Blacks must stop being criminals so they won’t have to go to prison” rhetoric of their dedicated enemy (whom they JUST fought against in a Civil War btw). Incredulously, like the ‘Blacks as inherent criminals’ stereotype did, this also got legs and carried over into the modern day.

This happens ALL the time; this is just one of the most painful examples of this phenomenon to me personally. That despite all whites have done to Black people, still do to Black people, and have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they will never stop inflicting anti-Black systemic racism upon Black people voluntarily, Black people still take them seriously at face value and give them chance after chance after chance after chance to dismantle racism on their own while we wait.

I cannot help but translate this sad behavior as Black People seeking acceptance from white people.

Patrick Kverven - I feel the same towards these people

Muhammad Rasheed - I’m inclined to agree with you. If the ‘white guilt’ doesn’t come with a dedicated effort to dismantle anti-Black systemic racism and a corresponding Reparations payout, then it’s just an idiotic looking, worthless publicity stunt like the ones you’ve linked here.

Tony Parker - "Uncle/Nephew Tom".

Kenneth Lewis - republican blacks on fox news

Cale Spencer III - Yep because if others blackies don't think like you they are wrong... stand strong brother power to the people.

Muhammad Rasheed - They can think different from me all they like, just don't think the way the dedicated enemy wants them to think.

Peace.

Nicholas Ivan Ladendorf-Atreides - Some of them are just sell outs. Look at Ben Carson. He's a nerd but he makes up all these stories about his thug life because it secures his position with white conservatives.

Cale Spencer III - @Muhammad... Right on brother. Them blackies are all brainwashed... ain't no way they thinking for themselves. Fight the good fight power to the people black panther and stuff.

Frederick Walton - @Muhammad... Brotha I give you credit. You don't give a SH*T what anybody thinks.. :D

Muhammad Rasheed - ;)

Michael Johnson - @Cale... Black people don't have or expect a hive mentality. That's different from having a sellout mentality that is contradictory to your self-interest.

Jason Hargrove - Is that pulling himself up by his bootstraps. realistically ppl dont need to vote for either party.

Muhammad Rasheed - That's why I gave him a 'bipartisan purple' tie.

Kim Hargrove-Brew - Who is more of a detriment to society is it the Rich or the Average thinker?

Muhammad Rasheed - The rich hold the vision for the detriment, and they hire and/or manipulate the average thinker into executing the vision for them.

Justin Wadlington - That sounds like something an average thinker would say

Muhammad Rasheed - That sounds like something someone trying to pick a fight would say.

Justin Wadlington - That also sounds like something an average thinker would say. Lol

Kim Hargrove-Brew - @Justin... lol exactly

Muhammad Rasheed - I'll admit I haven't been accused of being an average thinker before, so I am intrigued.

My body of work espouses the benefits of capitalism, with the "Weapon of the People" title of my editorial cartoon line a direct reference to the consumer-friendly open free markets. I consider greedy corporatists, who sabotage capitalism with their commitment to monopolizing the markets so that they can gobble the majority of revenue to be made, to be my active enemy. This point of view doesn't make me popular in the average circles my people congregate in (they often hold a socialist/Marxist/anti-capitalism tradition), so I find these comments amusing.

I'm open to hearing an explanation from you two that at least seeks to provide more info about the topic.

Kim Hargrove-Brew - @Muhammad... no need to be defensive but maybe it’s something you don’t know about yourself that everyone else can see. We are just speaking from what we are observing. We don’t know you well enough to speak to your body of work. We can only speak to what you present to us.

Muhammad Rasheed - So far you both are championing the "corporatism" version of wealth building (also known as "crony capitalism"). This tactic favors the producer over the consumer, and is actually the active enemy of capitalism itself. At its worst, corporatism partners with the government to illegally violate anti-trust laws and forms cartels that force smaller businesses to close so they may monopolize the industry for themselves alone. This creates a climate that makes it very difficult for the average citizen to be an entrepreneur (and nigh impossible for the poor), effectively making it more difficult than it actually needs to be.

I'm all about entrepreneurship, following the un-tread path, wealth building, personal and community empowerment — all of it. But this comes with active citizenship and fighting against unreasonable, greedy men who work to gain the world at the peoples' expense. I rightfully do not consider such a mentality "extraordinary" as a positive, since the devil has no new tricks, and it has always thought the same way.

Kim Hargrove-Brew - So your telling me as a business owner I should limit my abilities to make everyone else feel better. Lol am I understanding this right. And if I don’t limit my ability I’m accused of Corporatism..... Man if that isn’t average thinking I don’t know what else is.

Muhammad Rasheed - Kim wrote: “So your telling me as a business owner I should limit my abilities to make everyone else feel better.”

You should limit your ambitions to prevent from monopolizing markets, putting other people out of business and destroying jobs. “Making people feel better” is a side effect.

Kim wrote: “Lol am I understanding this right. And if I don’t limit my ability I’m accused of Corporatism...”

Corporatism is a real word with an actual definition to it. If you are supporting the tactics and mindset behind the concept then you are rightfully accused of it.

Kim wrote: “Man if that isn’t average thinking I don’t know what else is.”

Which is ironic considering the “I got mine! Fuck everybody else!” mentality is definitely average thinking in Western society.

Gary Roopchand - The average thinker because the average thinker doesn't use their resources to its full potential however the rich most of them got there because they used the resources available

Kim Hargrove-Brew - But the average thinker blames the rich for them being average calling them greedy when it’s actually their lack of ambition

Justin Wadlington - If the average thinker didn't thing average, he'd eventually be rich too

Muhammad Rasheed - @Kim... Both of those points hold truths.

Kim wrote: "...the average thinker blames the rich for them being average..."

The bulk of the rich's wealth comes from monopolizing markets and industry, forcing the bulk of society's wealth into narrow funnels that are then hoarded by the small group. A billionaire class wouldn't be possible without the selfish, greedy vision of the rich. They hate competition.

Kim wrote: "...calling them greedy when it’s actually their lack of ambition"

Many people don't want to play the game the rich deliberately rigged to make the climb of economic success more difficult after they monopolized

Justin Wadlington - If the average thinker asked himself one question, maybe he could be rich too.

That question is, how can I get rich?

1st generation Rich people became rich, because they learned how to get rich. Not how to work for a rich person.

Actually they probably started off working for a rich person, but still learned how to do it on their own.

Justin Wadlington - Meanwhile the other guy just watches and complains

Kim Hargrove-Brew - @Muhammad... a bit of insight the average thinker see others as competition the extraordinary thinker creates their lane and dominates it. The average thinker sees successful people as greedy the extraordinary thinker sees an opportunity and goes for it

Muhammad Rasheed - Kim wrote: “a bit of insight the average thinker see others as competition the extraordinary thinker creates their lane and dominates it.”

You’re describing the “blue ocean” strategy. The philosophy behind it is based on corporatists avoiding the expense involved in beating their competition, and finding untapped markets that they can quickly roll out a campaign, enabling them to make billions by dominating a brand new industry arm before the new fish competitors arrive to stake their claims. Your “extraordinary” thinker has the mind of the pioneer, but it is still based on avoiding the competition.

Kim wrote: “The average thinker sees successful people as greedy…”

For myself, I do not consider all successful people as greedy, only those businessmen who practice monopolizing industry—closing off markets and putting their competition out of business—so that they can keep the bulk of the wealth for themselves. By definition, those are greed-fueled acts.

Kim Hargrove-Brew - So your telling me as a business owner I should limit my abilities to make everyone else feel better. Lol am I understanding this right. And if I don’t limit my ability I’m accused of Corporatism..... Man if that isn’t average thinking I don’t know what else is.

Kim Hargrove-Brew - @Muhammad... That's the world of business it’s the people that think beyond everyone else who advance the world. You way of thinking will keep us in the Stone Ages. STEM is important without it our people will stay average while the rest of the world leaves us behind. Argue for greatest man leave the small average mind behind

Muhammad Rasheed - Kim, nothing is "great" about deliberately hurting the business of others to hoard wealth for yourself. There are other lucrative ways of doing business besides this one you are propagating. The prototype of corporatism was The Dutch East India Company that began the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Outside of the diabolical trading in Black flesh aspect of it, the cartel they formed with the monarchs of Europe was designed to push others out of the markets so they could indulge in their insatiable greed. Literally nothing about that is "great," and it is not a model worthy of emolating, but for good people to eradicate from the earth.

Muhammad Rasheed - The civilizations would be far more advanced if the dozen or so legacy families weren't deliberately closing off markets to prevent the rise of legions of eager new competitors. Your thinking on this item is backwards.

Kim Hargrove-Brew - I’m done talking to you now you aren’t even making sense
