"If it's provable we can kill it."
Or, what are you bitching about? You're all as mad as the ragheads
Published on December 4, 2007 By EmperorofIceCream In Politics
It occurred to me not long after I arrived in the USA (in August of 2003) that there is very little difference between the fundamentalism of American life and the fundamentalism of the lives of Islamist extremists. Americans, like the Islamist fanatics, have their shibboleths, their idols, their sacred cows. And to threaten them in America yields the same results as does threatening them in Mecca.

What's in a Name? Among the ignorant peasants and political factions of Sudan, you can't name a teddy-bear 'Muhammad'. Here, you can't say the word 'nigger'. If you do, the unthinking wrath of the common idiot will descend upon your life and destroy it. Why? Because niggers are sacred, holy, untouchable - and made so by the unreasoning and utterly unfounded guilt of Evil Whitey - irrespective of the fact that no one now alive owns slaves, has ever owned slaves, or will ever own slaves.

But the Holy Nigger of American culture is an exact counterpart to the Holy Prophet of Islam - something only to be named by the faithful who believe. No matter what the nigger does, no matter how many crimes he commits, he is always innocent - because he is perpetually the victim of Evil Whitey.

I don't think any of you will ever grasp the degree to which you remind me of the very worst kind of children. "He did this to me so it's OK for me to do that to him". No, it's not OK. But the worship of the Holy Nigger is only one part of it. There is your attitude to religion.

What's in a Religion? The difference between the attitude of the average American to his religion, and the attitude of the fundamentalist raghead fanatic to his religion, is simply this: Americans are too squeamish to kill for their God. But in every other way, in the controversies over meaningless nonsense such as whether the Ten Commandments are to be displayed in public buildings, or whether religious precepts are to be taught in public schools, you remind me irresistibly of those same fanatics who debate how jihad is to be applied. Your attitude is their attitude: religion is the key to life. I'll tell you the truth: your 'religion' is a perverse nonsense compounded equally of greed and fear; just as theirs is a perverse nonsense compounded of resentment and fear. And the great difference between you is no more than this - they are willing to die, and to kill, for their faith, and you are not.

Here on JU there was recently discussion of the unreasonableness of the recent controversy in Sudan in relation to a foolish teacher. How does that unreasonableness differ from your lack of reason in relation to abortion? A man kills a pregnant woman and her unborn child. The killer is guilty of a double homicide. But if a man rips a perfectly viable child from a woman's body and does so while wearing a white gown he does nothing but perform a service for money. He's committed no crime at all. Just like the deranged fanatics who kill themselves and others for their God, you happily and willingly accept the destruction of life in the interests of what you value most - unmitigated individual liberty, and profit.

You rail against the teaching of Islamist Mullahs who preach hatred for the West and America in particular. But you tolerate your own homegrown Mullahs, the likes of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and that detestable propagator of race hatred, Farrakhan, with barely a murmur of protest. You decry the concealment and oppression and coercion of life in Islamic communities; but you practice the same oppression. the same coercion, in relation to anyone who dares breathe the word nigger in public - and this in the land which gave birth to to the idea that all speech is free.

You decry the fanaticism of Islamic communities and Islamic leaders; yet you bow slavishly to to the fanaticism of the DNC, the NAACP, and the ACLU, all of whom exist only to tell you that certain words, certain ideas, are not to be spoken and not to be thought. You claim to be free, and are in fact slaves. Slaves to your own laziness, to your intellectual and moral cowardice. Slaves of comfort, and slaves of greed. You believe you live in a Republic - but have no ide what Republican virtues are. You believe you live in a democracy - but have no idea what Democratic virtues are. You believe you are fee - but at every turn bow to an authority that rightfully belongs only to the citizens of America, which has been usurped by every self-serving demagogue who has been able to catch your ear.

And instead of insisting that your lawmakers and leaders obey the law and Constitution your only recourse is that of children - foot-stamping hysterics dignified by the term litigation. Everyone of you is outraged by something - whether it be air-hostesses singing eenie-meenie-miney-mo or the thought that Black racists who beat a White child half to death in public should be forced to suffer the consequences of their actions. I sometimes think that I'm the sole adult in America, so unspeakably self-obsessed and foolish are the people with which I'm forced to deal everyday.

Let me explain something to you, idiots. There is law, there is crime, and there is obedience to law. Those who break the law by beating a citizen in the streets are worthy of punishment - whether their skins are black, white, or pink with little yellow polka-dots. It doesn't matter what incited them to commit their crime. What matters is whether, under law, they committed a crime or not. Nor does it matter what the Mullahs of American racism tell you about that crime. If it occurred, and in the case of the so-called Jena Six it undeniably did occur, then those who perpetrated the crime are worthy of punishment. Only in America can the Holy Nigger who beats a citizen in the street become a hero of something called 'Black Consciousness'. Only in America would the foul demagoguery of an arch-manipulator of prejudice, guilt and fear, such as Al Sharpton, be tolerated and celebrated.

The situation of America is not entirely without hope, however. There is no difference between you and the Islamist fanatics in the structure of your bestial hatreds and prejudices (though there is a very great difference in the objects to which those hatreds and prejudices apply). But there is a difference between you in that, in America, there is a tradition of civility/ Civility is no more than the behaviour which becomes a cives, a citizen of the Republic. That tradition involves the acceptance of the rule of law (as opposed to acceptance of Divine Inspiration as the sole guide to correct behaviour) and the acceptance of common-sense rules of behaviour in dealing with others. To put it at its simplest and least complicated, civility is good manners; what the French call politesse. And Americans, even now, are the politest people on earth.

There are in American culture resources which will allow Americans to overcome their own basest and most self-serving fears and desires; resources which appear to be unknown to the murdering devils of Islam. But nothing will be achieved unless Americans unite around their own best principles and reject the greed, graft, corruption and self-serving indecision of their current 'leaders'.

The dream of America is very great. But the reality of America is a tawdry nonsense made up of equal parts of greed, fatuous self-satisfaction, impotent hubris, and fear. Her leaders have proven time and again, and are busy proving once more, that they are utterly incapable of obeying the will of her people, so that it falls again to her true citizens to teach them what that will is.

And there is precious little time left in which to do so.

Brilliant. Just. Brilliant.

Damn, are these thoughts so intimidating that they frighten off any potential responders or are they just so right, so spot-on, that no one can deny their accuracy?


Didn't see it when first posted, got it via the bump.

It seems to me that comparing any American (no matter how outraged or perpetually offended they may be) to a bloodthirsty Mullah used to be considered 'fightin' words'....


No, because I'm not particularly a fan of the brand of Americans described herein.

Great article Emperor. The difference between America and Sudan is that Sudan is run by war criminals (the Hague has many of the top leaders in its sights.) America is not run by war.............(um, I think I'll take a rain check now.)

I don't believe there is a 'worship to a holy nigger' as you put it. If there were, there wouldn't be as many blacks as there are no in jail. Some there rightfully, some not. If there was a worship I wouldn't have little old ladies or others giving me the look when they see me coming towards them. So there is no worship.

Is there a guilt complex because of what happened so many years ago because of slavery? Yes, there is and there will always be guilt. Is the guilt justified, once upon a time, yes, nowadays, it depends on who you ask. The sad thing is that today, the year 2007 there still is so much confusion because of hate. For as long as there are towns where there is a section where only the blacks can go and only the blacks can live and only the whites in the town are allowed to go anywhere they want, then there will always be guilt and so there will be the worship of the holy nigger because of the few who do continue to feel guilty. Although I'm not so sure as it being guilt but rather, embarrassment and feeling bad that this is a part of our American history.

However, if you dig deep enough, there are plenty Americans around with just the same feelings of wishing death to all who they hate attitude. But you are right that our politeness and civility sets us apart. That alone is the reason why we are who we are. And why many of us will have hope (not a beloved expression for you I know) that one day we won't look at each other and see skin color, or cringe when we hear the words nigger, or honky, or spick, or that these very words will still exist or be spoken.

That's why the hope for us lies in our children (generally speaking), because it is through them that our country will be taken to that level it should have been since the abolishment of slavery. When children of different races and languages play together and hang out together and are friends, despite what their parents may think or how they may feel. The adults of our world, and the leaders who have been around for as long as they have been are as confusing as hell and all have their own agendas and sense of entitlement, both blacks and whites. They all refuse to let go and forgive and to move forward. If they all learn that, then they will be better leaders. They will not, hence they remain the same way and they do their damndest to infuse this same sense of hate and entitlement to people from their generation, and even some in the younger generations.

But I am glad that there are the few who don't think this way and who want to make a difference through change and do something if they can. The one thing many of us forget is that our world is not only black or white. It is brown too! There are other races besides black and white. Although sometimes they all have one thing in common, they don't worship the holy nigger.

The one thing we all need to do as you say though, and I wholeheartedly agree with you is to unite and make these so called leaders get the message that we want more decisive and effective leadership. Pitting us against each other is not acceptable. Hating our own kind is unacceptable. For how long is this hate of race going to pull us down? For how long are we going to be seen as the stupid Americans who hate their own just because they are not all alike? When are we going to let it be known that we don't take shit from anyone who try to anilanate us? I don't know when. I guess when we're not too busy hating each other and pointing fingers!

This is an excellent point to make because it brings out something in the backround of the concept of the Numinous Negro - or is I more crassly and provocatively put it, the Holy Nigger.

Barack Obama is a Numinous Negro. Martin Luther King Jnr. was a Numinous Negro. Bill Cosby is a Numinous Negro. That is they are all three invested in character traits that form key parts of the schizophrenic conception that White America has about Black Americans. The numinous Negro is Wise (Cosby), Prophetic (MLK Jnr.) and Innocent (Obama). There is also the Malevolent Wizard (Sharpton, Farrakhan), the Uncle Tom (Jackson) and the Neanderthal Thug (almost every other Black, but particularly young Black men. This melange of cliches, stereotypes, shibboleths, and simple fear - and its chronically obsessive hold on American society and culture - is what I meant when I used the term 'worship'. This is not the generally received or customarily understood meaning of the term and I should have elaborated as to my meaning and my usage.

To obsess over a thing the way Americans obsess over race is to make it in an Idol - and for all I know makes of it a minor godform, since it exercises the sway of a minor but malevolent deity over American life - and to that extent the attention given to this set of ideas constitutes a corrupt form of worship.

The adults of our world, and the leaders who have been around for as long as they have been are as confusing as hell and all have their own agendas and sense of entitlement, both blacks and whites. They all refuse to let go and forgive and to move forward. If they all learn that, then they will be better leaders. They will not, hence they remain the same way and they do their damndest to infuse this same sense of hate and entitlement to people from their generation, and even some in the younger generations.


That's because they're believers and want to pass along their faith, and those who are zealots are going to want to spread their faith more widely and win converts. Thinking of faith as a tool and not an end let's you see some of the similarities between the different tools, and some of the similarities in the work to which those tools are put. But if you think there's only one tool and one way to use it then it becomes impossible to be anything but confused.

Aha, details make for clarity! I agree with your definitions!


To obsess over a thing the way Americans obsess over race is to make it in an Idol - and for all I know makes of it a minor godform, since it exercises the sway of a minor but malevolent deity over American life - and to that extent the attention given to this set of ideas constitutes a corrupt form of worship.


Yes, I agree! We are obsessed over race aren't we? I didn't know how much America was obsessed until I came to live here. And you know what, the rest of the world is becoming the same way. At least a few where race didn't really matter, or at least wasn't really the focus, like in Jamaica for example. They are now more focussed on skin color than they used to be when I lived there. It has to do with the scums who do their dastardly deed here in the States, whether they were born here, or left Jamaica from birth and lived their lives here and made no good of themselves, they get deported and take the same type of mentality back home with them. They form their gangs and continue their evil ways. The only difference with the law in Jamaica and here is that, in certain cases the law shoot first and asks questions later. And sometimes they have to do that because of the mentality of these cretins that are becoming so militant. So I do agree with your summization!

Of course, the only place I ever go and really let my hair down and have a good time is back home where the locals do know how to party!lol Sorry, off track but had to put that in cause our island is just as safe and dangerous as any other!

Thinking of faith as a tool and not an end let's you see some of the similarities between the different tools, and some of the similarities in the work to which those tools are put. But if you think there's only one tool and one way to use it then it becomes impossible to be anything but confused.


You are so right! I don't know why faith is so often used as an excuse for the evil that men do!
