White supremacy: Fueling toxic masculinity since before the Mayflower

The Tuesday Talking Points!

A few private thoughts, made public...

“Racism isn't a mental illness, it's a conscious and deliberate choice...” Words by Chuck Hobbs, May 16, 2022

***Over the course of my 49 years and 362 days, I've never despised anyone based upon their race, religion, creed, sexual orientation, or political preferences—but I've despised a great many people for being dumb, shallow, stupid, ignorant, and racist bigots...

***Conservatives just love to talk about "single Black mothers" and "absentee Black fathers" whenever some shooting occurs in the 'hood, but they get collectively quieter than rats pissin' on cotton when some hateful little white boy, or "involuntary celibate" young white man, kills innocent Americans during a mass murder spree. Which leads me to ask what, precisely, goes on in all of those two-parent homes that you conservatives boast about? What are y'all doing to raise these Hellions into responsible adults who can, what's that phrase y'all just love, oh yeah, "respect a culture of life?" 

The truth is that far too many conservatives are racist hypocrites who pass their own putrid biases right on down to their socially awkward kids. What's worse is that most of them know this to be true, but claim to be insulted when bold Black folks, like Ol' Hobbs, tell them about their deplorable asses when one of their little demon spawns takes innocent lives...

The Buffalo Killer, 18, pictured above, scribbled “here’s your reparations” on the stock of his AR-15. This was a clear reference to reparations for slavery and Jim Crow—a politically caustic topic.

***I am a firm believer that we are what we inject into our minds, and if you read material or listen to programs on the television or YouTube that blame all of America's problems on demographic minorities, the result, without question, is a lack of respect for anyone whose complexion, faith, or manner of expressing love differs from your own. 

The Buffalo killer admitted to being a devoted watcher of Fox News's Tucker Carlson, and a devotee of the "Great Replacement Theory," one that espouses that whites are in danger of being "replaced" by racial minorities.

Not only is this theory intellectually dishonest in that even as a racial minority, whites will still control better than 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies for the remainder of this Century, as well as the real political power that such corporate entities purchase routinely! But for the dumb, shallow, stupid, ignorant young white male who listens to such garbage 24/7, it clearly is pushing some over the edge from political and sociological discourse—to mass murder. 

Thus, my sincere hope that people of goodwill will boycott all of the Fox network's advertisers, and tell them about it via e-mail, because change will come when you hit folks in their pockets.

***I just find it funny that the same conservatives who swear to care so much about the unborn zygotes, embryos, and fetuses that Black women carry, clearly don't give a damn about the seven Black women and three Black men who were killed in Buffalo last week.

At least you can’t tell by their social media posting activity…

So, if you are a conservative that posted at length about Roe vs. Wade and feel some kind of way about what you just read, then yes, I'm talking about (and to) you, you hypocrite!

***One of the questions that conservatives love to ask in the wake of any mass murder event is "why are you people making this political?" The answer is because in your stubbornness, many of you right wingers refuse to make even minimal changes to laws that could prevent the sale of weapons and ammunition that inflict mass casualties.

Again, the fact that the Buffalo killer, 18, couldn't legally purchase a bottle of Jack Daniels to drink, but could legally purchase an AR-15 and thousands of rounds of ammo, is THE problem. 

***President Joe Biden called White Supremacy "a poison" at a rally in Buffalo earlier today, adding: "Part of what the country has to do is look in the mirror and face the reality that we have a problem with domestic terror, it's real.”

Yes, Mr. President, domestic terror is real and has been real from the Colonial Age. From slavery, to Jim Crow, to the beatings, lynchings, murders, and all of the indignities Black people have suffered for over 400 years in this land, what fuels my anger is that the real solution falls upon you, sir, and the many millions of good and decent white folks in America who know what’s right and wrong, but remain hesitant to take on your more wicked racial kinsmen who are responsible for the race based misery and woe that leaves innocent people, like the martyrs below, dead…

***When I see memorial collages featuring the 10 Buffalo victims, I see a number of women who look like the elders in my family, while the remaining martyrs look like my close friends…kin…or, me! Such is why this latest act of mass murder, just like the Emmanuel AME murders in 2015, hurts and haunts me to my very core...

***As I wrote on Facebook earlier today, with apologies to my pastor and senior Bishop, I don't forgive the Buffalo killer; I didn't forgive the Emmanuel AME killer, and the only prayer I've got is that justice is served upon those monsters! If that makes me Hell bound, well, I was born and raised in North Florida, so I'm used to the heat...
