Is a "Gender" Switch Looming ?
Some of my 12,000 (plus) readers might have noticed that I use many terms to describe those Blacks in the U.S. who, like the Sonderkommandos of World War II, Jews who assisted the Nazis in the extermination of their own people, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonderkommando; use their "talents" to hinder the progress or hasten the demise of their own people. "Lawn Jockey", and "Spook" are most common terms I use for these folk. Clarence Thomas is a ready example that most of us recognize in this role. Condi Rice, "little-miss-mushroom-cloud" is the most readily recognizable female member of this group. The Hard Right has a knack for finding and exploiting these folk, in their ridiculous attempts to hang on to their centuries-old practices of oppressing and exploiting blacks and other persons of color in the Americas, and around the world. They're now cruising a mushy-headed retired black surgeon as their new "Herman Cain"!
Over the past few days, I was able to see two young, non-white, highly ambitious Millenials (?), who appeared in the Media, to push their careers. Mindy Kaling http://www.amazon.com/Mindy-Kaling/e/B001K8AZRE/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_pop_1, and Patina Miller, http://video.pbs.org/video/2365209635/. Patina performed "live", "pimping" the memories of her deceased grandmother, in a shameless attempt to boost her own, meager talents. With the imprint and "promotion" that comes from Universities today, rather than those old, wise, black folk at the Apollo Theater, who gave us Ella, Sarah, Dinah, Billie, and Carmen, (some of our really talented black performers). I fantasize the ghosts of those wonderful performers; assembling to "kick the sh*t" out of hucksters like Patina.
The other, Mindy Kaling, is also a young, non-white performer with her own, carefully constructed, Television Show. Eager to show that her design for her show was "about race, but not really"; this young immigrant-rooted Indian (from India) shows off her "brilliance" (in her own eyes) to "North-Carolina Charlie", who seemed to swoon over her charms. Her secret? restrict her attentions on white males, and her search for love-connections with that element of our society. It seems her show is very popular. I would like to see the "demographic" of her fans. Like Patina, who featured her white husband as part of her show, both women are shameless self-promoters who see the value of holding a microphone (voice) and appearing on "camera" image). Citing "mentors" like Oprah, these women are "hyping" their questionable talents, while seeking to get rich, quick! They might fail to see the immense collective power of white males to "extinghish" them in a flash? Whatever happened to "Gail" who appeared with Charlie, but "no more"?
Black citizens, after the likes of Elvis and the Beatles, (in my generation), and countless others before and after, MUST find a way to counter exploitation of this sort. The fact that young, non-white women are appearing in the wake of past Charlatans; is shocking! Familiarity with the classic works of Oliver Cromwell Cox regarding Caste, Class, and Race, and the historic roles India and its expats have played (most notably those Indians in South Africa, including Ghandi), would help immensely. Are the likes of Jendal and Nikki Haley indications that the United States is becomingthe next South Africa, aided by immigrants from India?
Stay Vigilant! Your enemy can come in any color!
