"RACE" STUDIES PROPAGANDA
"RACE" STUDIES PROPAGANDA
Weekly, "studies" are released measuring black peoples' indices relative to white peoples' indices.
It is rather like the technique used by curious parents to record the relative heights of their children by dated, pencil-markings on a wall.
Yet, never have I seen nor heard of any such race study in which the blacks were given any discount for destabilizing slavery, for Jim Crow segregation, for peonage, for unequal education expenditures, for federal and state laws that discriminated against them by race, because of race. No discount is given for discriminatory banking, and lending practices, for excessive police violence, and unfair sentencing by courts; for ghettoization and its impoverished concentrations of ennui; for historical wage, salary, price, costs, interest, tax, and wealth disparities.
If these discounts were faithfully and accurately applied to resultant race matrices, it is more than likely that the blacks will be shown to be leading, rather than to be trailing the whites. Now as I write, I wonder for whose benefit or detriment these studies are consistently being funded ? Are they funded to assure the whites of their supremacy or to confirm the blacks of their inferiority? Or may be it is for both! To impress the whites and to demoralize the blacks at once!
Nor is much regard given in such studies to the converse, to millions of blacks who were able to escape the maze of malefactors and webs of wickedness intended to capture, them; intended to entrap them and their progeny, legacy, dreams, bequest in limbic pools of despond.
Propaganda is what it is! Pure racist propaganda are such metrically unreconciled, thus unqualified, race studies that are weekly pillaging, and pillorying our senses and national sensibilities! They benefit none but those who pay to keep alive racial antagonism! The bitterest irony is that no "race study" depicts anyone squarely, accurately, being but a hackneyed blend of composite pieces, whose innate accuracy is necessarily suspect as indicated.
One such study is cited below:
