Hysteria is the key
"Wright isn't the problem. Stupid patriotism is the problem."
Wrong. Belief is the problem. Belief in the Culture that makes faith in God, faith in Government, and faith in the American Way a conviction that lies in the face of history.
Every faith is an emotional attachment to some form of slavery. Every belief is an irrational yielding of self-identity to the will of another. Every belief isolates the individual with the promise of strength and freedom. Every belief requires a free mind to be bound by a system that feels superior to another.
Obama and Wright fell under the spell of the American Myth, the cultural belief that America was superior because it was a God fearing nation. God, in His infinite mercy, ordained slavery in all monotheistic religions. He required absolute obedience and sacrifice. We believed that this was a shortcut to paradise. It only took total submission, not responsibility, to gain the moral high ground.
Where is racial freedom? in the genes, not in legal definitions. Where is bias, hatred, and prejudice? In the beliefs of men who find authority for dominion in baseless convictions amd myths.
The great speech of Obama was a perpetuation of the self desception that led him and all oppressed peoples, the poor, the ignorant the disenfranchised, to believe that a separate culture would create a just world. They faied to understand that a separate culture is another culture in which dominance may be established.
Stupidity is not the problem, Emotional insecurity that relies on class distinctions for identity is the cause of inequity.
