Black Journal; 43; Black Paper on White Racism. Part 1

why [beeping] [beeping] [banging of drums] Good evening.

This week and next we will present a black paper on white racism. Frequently the definition and effects of racism are greatly misunderstood - certainly the impact on blacks can only be described by us. An operational definition of individual racism is subordination of a person or group because of race but we will focus on the institutional practice of racism when a group is subordinated by factors indirectly related to race. An example would be a union with all white members: you can only get in the union if a member sponsors you and automatically whites select one another so this pattern of selection automatically keeps blacks out. The union is white and the first place because its membership reflects the left over the patterns of slavery therefore racist behavior is both intentional and unintentional. Our institutions mostly involve unsuspecting individuals who part of a racist pattern. All definitions of black people's

standards and values have been defined by whites in a society basically European as symbolism is saying we've never made any definition of are conditioned beauty standards social etiquette even our names had been given us by white culture to make an authoritative statement of our concept of christianity history education values and culture where colonial isn't and imperialism and psychological development and how these institutions operate in a white racist society six black stars and philosophers i've been invited to present positions and analyses of the stops with me tonight are jon and rick clark an associate professor of african and afro american history at hunter college in new york is clarke is also author of eleven books including island usa preston wilcox head of the education workshop of the congress of african people as president after an

associates a black educational consulting firm and is an outstanding offer river now would play it pastor of the shrine of black but not in detroit michigan and an advocate of blackfish to nationalism is author of the soon to be published book black christian nationalism new directions collect your record i began by status in some kind of a frame of reference example what are we talking about i think in order to do this and they're trying to dismiss the subject and come back to it and deal with it that is no such thing as a race nature created nor races man created races racial classifications and he had his own resume they're doing now who benefited from this artificial creation and fairies who benefits from it now now let's look at the historical roots of this whole thing and you're not going to understand that until you understand the implications are far reaching effect so the opening up of

the so called new world christopher columbus and other loans coming suppressing beyond the indians and finding a justification for this kind of thing just look at yourself in the fifteenth and the sixteenth century because racism has its roots in that second rise of europe in the fifteenth and the sixteenth century they had to justify what they were going to do to most of mankind they were about to take over the whole row now that the myth about an argument about whether the war was wrong of that that's an old wives' tale the european had gained a love knowledge and had on the islands and he had been hungry enough within the body of your job he decided that he was going to go out and get the world began to round off that now and i don't understand the religious basis all races and we have to go back to a papal

bull but the pope issued and fourteen fifty five in an argument between portugal and spain he turned to them and patiently and said you are all authorized to reduce the senate to do all in a bail people and it just so happens that most of the so called infidel one non european people non mom why people europe not only hap its bases for racism it had its bases for the slave trade and the same basis will be good in the colonial system that followed racism was created to justify the slave trade to justify the colonial system and to justify that up the ruthlessness that had to go into the making of modern gap in those walkouts let me begin by suggesting that the coup as evidence of racism

education instances are controlled like education boston so called moderate settings and settings by white people are many of playing on cable responding to the people are educating these people on many of wayne hall on cable one from the call from his group of people are addicted onthe of home on really ought to not seek out responsible for involving his canaries and managing the allegations the second aspect is the the ability of of white communities to keep black people other communities and still yet exercise some influence only education and why communes those even when there's no blacks and why couldn't you want to still have some common foods only education like unions after example as a way as we were just those organized fall despite the fact that we know we would race is decided the schools continue to be organized so races in the mountains it's given

no real shift of power within the school that will affect a change in content that's correct this occasion france's new york city a buffet divider some of the stones of like a puerto rican it we have one like one point remember on school mortified so three white people making decisions affected thousand people and the nanny with respect dispute and point b the basic reason the symptom approved for the racism of the christian church is a simple fact that white people attended for so long that jesus was white and that they've had a necessity to interpret jesus as being white when essentially why christianity is recently this is historically false and theologically

absurd and practically in terms of its effect on black people it's a bbc an institution an enslaved black people and in afghanistan though that this would not make moral judgments here and instances that exist in any society exist to serve the interests of the people who set it up and christianity began as a white man's religion it's an african religion that remember that girl is no one in there egypt with seventy people and after practice of nineteen fifties came out with only two million people and lourdes of other slaves who came out the game also part of the emerging new nation of israel so israel a biblical israel as a black nation in africa nation that came out of a lot of of africa and get custom ties with that until after eleven that jesus was a was a black messiah not a lot of whiteness it come the level of historical background of them of africa of african traditions african history of african culture the concept of local militias and the concept of a chosen people the concept of working

without honor of all that these things work out of african tradition not out of the whiteness tradition jesus was essentially old revolutionary messiah who's trying to lead a black people in a revolt in the struggle and conflict with a white gentile a precedent so the whole church has to be viewed from the point of view of the white oppressors the white oppressors one kind of christianity at one college age black church has to become independent and go back to the historic evidence of christianity because the slave church that the white man suffered by people tend to continued enslavement of black people so that like your test become again a revolutionary insulin in the hands of my people controlled by bike people fighting as jesus fought for the liberation of like people against white gentile press i want to continue or from roman cruz on point and you briefly with image because image is the paramount factor and keep and racism alive now exactly when did the christian church they come along

become like an as much as prices the sky the other literature has been swapped in heaven hallow sheets will win that's sheila not caucasian terror on the aisle for his image of the church the first image of them of dollars the black madonna was in these but the panels were very prominent and the judges of europe up until the sixteenth in the seventeenth century it was not quite madonna's in the judge's of europe and some of the judge's of europe to this very day how black madonna at what haiti because vanity become mom all white in the what why deprive become a blonde blue eyed doll for some kinds of churches and would have continued to fall probably would not say i owned one thing reducing to have forgotten is that the pitcher cries as in president richard is an insult to them because there's nothing particularly jewish about him physically

arm otherwise are now another thing that i have to look at seriously and is that when the european project of themselves out into the broader well they're not only colonized most of mankind they colonize teaching of history itself and grabbed him so many things that became mom became like i'm like just to say we're aware of the wondering why the process by which christianity became gradually to be introduced in white began and a very early point with the apostle paul who wrote the puzzles of the new testament and who was even at that time would like israel unlike jews in an awkward time to be reasonable town like to india one of identify with white gentile where he prided himself on the nefarious even more on to not have roman citizenship so as soon as he had the sun stroke on the damascus road the city's been converted his

dad about to take with the christianity the teachings of jesus to the gentile world it could not take the revolutionary teachings that is it actually thought that is was a sellout and eight they were days in revolution an old when revolution he was one of the ms ella leaders at that time he could take that to the gentile world so he had yet to make a major symbol it was on the cross which was incompatible with the heathen symbolism of the roman and now a greco roman you don't wear out so he may jesus the kind of a heathen assembled it could take to the gentile world and the whole writings of the apostle paul t and then to destroy the basic and african background christianity and to make a compatible with eo legal roman even world so if they began there but the actual identification all christianity has been a white religion didn't really take place until fourteen fifteen sixteen centuries when the pictures were being painted and painful body a catholic church at that

point why people have decided to declare by people in syria and so the whole concept of jesus been black nominee and it was unacceptable to white people at all a whole new type of slavery was beginning to emerge your type of slavery in egypt joseph was a slave who rose to be second only to federal a whole different concept to slavery you are a slave all internet and labor was taken but rather the white men declared that anyone was non white who was enslaved was declared be in fear that one had a whole different kind of existence so the whole gradual thing with a private slavery process the backlog mention a part of the that the trail of the apostle paul and a part of the fall of jerusalem and afford and where jews were scattered all over the world we have to remember one thing i think is very important so why do that we see today have no blurred line connection with with the jews of the biblical period they were converted to judaism in europe and in him and not in russia they were converted and have no blurred line connection with the blank jews who make up the biblical israel that the bible write about in which jesus was

what happened the legend the blank uses daily existence that might use in america by dudes all over africa that like jews in palestine the bike is everywhere the lion's daughter complained not not more than two years ago that by do that moved on either side of her house and therefore her property had depreciated in palestine like you said the tree shaded her property is a bad move directly from palestine to india and that the community celebrated its nineteen hundredth anniversary something and they had white jews who emigrated from europe and like use originally come from jerusalem at the fall of jerusalem and at an uninterrupted straight line connection from the fall into them to india all while there might do what the us scientists jews who had been converted to judaism i think you know they have the control of the definition what judaism is as white people do with anything that they come into it they take really defined what it is it's a huge david but we have to remember that why do when you say honestly i'm not the jews are the biblical period that sometimes confuses by people who

are being blacklisted that's why fans like him the reality of it in fact to see the job is answering a thing about the institution society all of which erases them which white created and which was a huge amount of ransom so when there were any point though stopping recognizing first that the president under the ruble say one of the court's most resilient and do it justice what about to me is is a recent pattern in your opinion are the educational process of school systems are was it i was so that the overwhelming education process that this raises is sensitive educate people against their own interests as educated white kids to hate themselves educate like staff to feel so alienated from the young people are educated like certain will become advocates for the mainstream and that was

it well i would say that the traditional educational process and won the concealing of jewish educator white students away from the problem can you friends and very few blocks on college campuses are are unable to use their minds to work on the problem with a lichen like sickle cell need or the housing drop off the drug crop from their impulse on the black community for if you like the white man's austin they're using their minds on trying to find solutions in most cases are beginning to say we will probably never know our own his darker naive that they intel would do with that we're not going anyplace that people are right to expect anything from this is that because it was a set up for them that wasn't brought to this country to be given the moccasin it was bought in this country to do some work to labor and to obey and once the machines mayo whole

lot of these jobs obsolete it tended to make a lot of the people a silly now we keep worrying about the american promise of the american dream and we forget it was a major was the weapon has not betrayed and i think because even promises anything and beyond and the first place not a role as the tuitions and a bomb and into society is to reflect the power that controls that society so we have american institutions or rape against us and when i expect these as two jittery find themselves if they really find themselves that's tantamount to presiding over their own demise so one thing i think the question of how high schools accomplished is it your concern about the process i think we got understand that there's no such thing as objective truth which is implicit in unearthing the park says that that's what the way is the institutions to accomplish quite purpose of my purpose is to maintain a

proposition and keep everybody else in a subordinate palestine a position against institutions purpose that's what it's that's the way it functioned about function than that that everything that the schools teach is designed to fit into the school's deans not objective truth but what the white man wants to project is to the lesson in front of a kindergarten i sprayed all for example while it's a sociologist sociology is not a science in the sense that it's dealing objectively with the way people live together it's dealing with a white man's habit of living together as the norm by which we judge how other people live if you live like white people live and you live in the way you are supposed live not at the primitive or insane as a people psychologically it's the same think psychology does not deal with any ad our objective kind of the discussion our development of how people live are now says how people function as individuals went out of the white men thought if the white man does it this way then this is the norm by which we judge all other people if the white

man is violent that actually all people have to be violent to be normal if you're not now obviously this up on that when you should be in an insane asylum the whole pattern that's set up as a norm for human behavior by psychologist all i read full of psychiatrists everybody needs a deal with a deal with the white wannabe so they have they teach white children black children and white children who looked a wide eyes from the kindergarten on the black town is beginning to look at the world and entered it through wide eyed everything he is is wall everything that exists in his community as well without a deep layer of white noise it really is no good the white ipod is no good the black and the white mini that we know are he's insane white cells that is no good the very structure white society indicates that white people obviously in social structure even insane on an hour so we have to get them a black psychology of black sociology of black music of black history that takes in the realities and that is essentially sound as opposed to the

mythology that the white man has developed out of his own ignorance for one thing it was not creativity the white man has never create anything he stole things but never created a beacon that actually deal with history because the history is every side of his absence of making an agenda and psychology but sociology where we use means well we wish we knew for underground won't mix don't mind if we can understand the psychology is is is the psychology of the white man has aired if you can escape from our listeners in a white man's world now that the struggle is probably black people from power and white people to keep all know will we deal with our school every institution of the white man says he uses him as far as well there's nothing wrong with that nothing immoral about anybody would do that when we get on top republicans at the same time i really do that institution them to perpetuate black power and a white man that the fight up from the bottom again for another you know hundred million is time to get back to the pot there's nothing wrong with it is

about what they're playing as long as far apart as people do except that our listeners and to accept the definition by which they are maintained powers and with that the institutions was perpetuated powerlessness so that's why i think in the black church has become a power base for black people and saving this whole institutional conception i started to like be blended with it as it is that they suspend all of it will need to come from a black perspective of black orientation and a concern with black market as opposed to white ball lythgoe but his values and i think we leave that they go over too well on we need to look at what kind of society is to black people come out about what happened before this and there's no we came out of basic pluralistic society but we came out and sharing society where nobody was very rich and no one at all was poor not an african in this society would not locality and say this is mime and he would fly because he didn't think that way he thought of all

probably as belonging to the pole community now we were brought into a society as lanes just at that time the concept of private property and kept him of them with getting well on the way with the backing of the chat it is a clash between the values are the best values of the society we gave out all in a society that enslaved and too many of us are tied up with these values the separatist a private property what is our second about private property was so psyched about one and taken upon himself more than he could use in a lifetime why are people walking by this mountain a well stocked nothing but become a sacred about this and the thing did not exist in these all societies until these polls aside and begin to how internal differences and the european game there and the africom not even that permitted him to arbitrate an african family dispute until we understand that are on

site the african invited the european for dinner that's the first thing he did the indian invited be european but then that the lesions invited the europeans and then now if you invite people for dinner you first got going again and you have a society that has traditionally hospitable to stranger and it was the finest thing that day our right on the stroke of what was happening inside of christopher columbus of mine and we'd go to his own diary for this he said i wonder why they're so far and they'll be easier to cargo than i thought they would be i wonder why they bring in such small amounts of gold along where the mines are his intentions were not go well it wasn't good then the intentions are not good now and the mad men is still alive with this dinner and the tension this kind with the

thought that if you treat it a creative freedom plaza the rain at what you may marathon black people have not seen one people at all that is why they came you know i think we have to be careful but people oui oui oui to what's happened is what's good and what they are and what we need to begin to look at is was real not ok with its motivated ideas get whether it works with a gun work whether they felt like they would not help my people white people are individualistic why people are materialistic i think i got it absolutely correct in the definition of its a black civilization after and civilisation on their list a cool concept is different but the white man's individualism and materialism stems from the fact that he comes out of a situation up up up a place we could finally lear you know on the barren land where we could hardly grown nor resources where they had to fight each other just to keep alive and rich person had a travesty you audie good to keep somebody else and get if we could stay alive on the idea of

individualism and materialism i didn't have much in the way materialism but he had the need the desire to rebuild she had to do everything in order to take some from somebody else i got rid of the white man came up in an individual be different on a landline or there was everything that a person has to do the key line steely an upbeat about it was everywhere nobody had taken somebody else all the resources the war right into ground and have a head everything they did need to build ships and joe cocker someplace else if if athens dealership where would they go anyplace they went with worse than where they were but the white men could build a ship and go anyplace but any place he went was better than where it was anything that he could take with better than when he already did so we deal with the culture the two people its stamp on the kind of situation which they later black people that they are trying to be individualistic and materialistic because we are not a slave potter the white men has dominated the so completely products it is that you what we've got to do is

rejected that is the techniques except the old that is the cover that about old historic black values and have a black man the system that we put in opposition to the white man's materialistic of materialism and individualism and you're not going on this week we have presented a black apron white racism part one we have discussed education history and christianity and all these institutions pay raises veteran affect lives and the talented black people next week to present part to rubio next week with values and culture where our colonialism and imperialism and personality development or psychology thanks for
