The curse of African descended communities is the exploitative white American community, which projects a so-called civilized, fraternal, egalitarian, liberal face while concurrently maintaining white supremacy. The white American community must maintain white supremacy while not appearing to do so. This duplicitous task can only be accomplished by making it appear that the African American community is dying of natural causes. To explain the problem of African subordination in terms of racism and racial hatred misleads the African community down the irrational and destructive path of seeking to overcome racism while leaving the power and need to practice this behavior in white hands. Overlooking the fact that racism could not exist without some race of people being empowered to practice proves to be a fatal flaw in such thinking. One perspective on racism is that it is a structural relationship based on the subordination of one racial group by another. The determining feature of race relations is not prejudice towards blacks, but rather the superior position of whites and the ideological and structural institutions that maintain it. In this sense, criminality is a symptom which, while reflective of the societal whole, is incarnated and actualized in the minds and bodies (actions) of the individuals and groups, which make up the society. It is a sign of the societal mis-allocation of power, energy, and resources, of societal hypocrisy, of a society, which refuses to come to grips with itself. It, therefore, cannot be true to its reality and possibilities. Rather than reality, the white American (group) complex projects its face as the persona of the sociopolitical whole. It claims to represent all of America. It seeks to project its vaunted self-image and identity as supreme and ideal and to represent its collective consciousness as the only legitimate and God-given reality. It also attempts, and thus far has succeeded, to regulate, usurp, and appropriate to itself the bulk of wealth, resources, and energy of the nation and the world in ways consonant to its national and international appetite and advantage. The white community legislates and reinforces how people function in their various roles and the boundaries of activity within the African American community. It does so consistent with its need for dominance, thereby legitimizing the placement of the African American community relative to the white American community. So when individuals or groups within the African American community act autonomously, their actions are labeled illegitimate or illegal by the white American community and seen by that community as threatening to its well-being and thereby threatening to the societal whole. The repressive responses of the dominant white community complex, which includes police response and military action, to the autonomous actions of the African American community complex interact in a dynamic which creates societal symptoms, some of which are called criminal. The White community complex in effect produces illnesses or symptoms in the body politic of American society through its egotistical repression of the African American community. It uses those ailments to further its psychological and dominance needs, thus reaping both primary and secondary benefits from its own created illnesses. In other words, the White American collective community reaps material benefits from a politico-economically-weakened black community while secondarily assuaging its own collectively fragile ego. However, to protect its own vaunted morals, standards, principles and projected self-image, the dominant white American community must deny and distort its own role in producing the symptoms, thereby engaging in the social psychological concept of blaming the victim. Till next time.
