The problem with a lot of white folks and their minions

I was inspired to write this article by looking at the comments on to the following video:

Now, regardless of what people’s thoughts are on the biblical testimony, this video was simply saying that BASED ON INFORMATION ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE and certain theological understanding concerning the table of nations (the explanation of the nations that repopulated the Earth from the sons of Noah), it is reasonable to conclude that the Babylonians and ancient Egyptians were black. Okay. I already suspect that some people’s faces already scrunched up at the idea, but that is exactly why I want to get into this article.

The video is actually pretty straightforward and quick in it’s explanation, so there seems to be little reason for anyone to even be confused about the information that it brought forth. Again, it was according to the biblical testimony and theological understanding of the biblical nations as written in the book of Genesis, not information by secular historians.

Even so, as clear as the argument was laid out, you still had people who wanted to argue against it (probably without even actually watching the short video) simply because, in my humble opinion, the problem with a lot of white folks and their minions (the minions being the non-black minorities who hate Black people in a pathetic attempt to kiss up to white folks) is that they simply don’t want any kind of positive or magnificent contributions to humanity and the world, especially when it comes to ancient history, to be attributed to the negro. Let’s just call it what it is. It’s a form of prejudice, rooted in the mythology of white supremacy and, as a result, the perpetuated idea of black inferiority or black incompetence.

At best, some will say that black Africans, who they erroneously refer to as sub-Saharan Africans*, had other great civilizations, so there is no need for blacks to to allegedly steal other civilizations’ histories that they would claim were not of black African descent. At worst, some goofball white person (often white males) or their minions might claim that Black people never invented the wheel or even had a written language. And they would say it (or write it, as the case may be) as if they actually believe that. I’m not even sure if they’re actually that stupid to genuinely believe it, but claiming such to be the case is still asinine either way.

So what do I think the real problem with some white folks and their minions are? Ultimately, I think it’s some type of strange insecurity. Although the insecurity tries to mask itself pretty well as a form of arrogance, but to the astute observer who understands some things about humanity, it seems that deep down, they are threatened by any semblance of greatness and competence being attributed to the Negro. Interestingly enough, they don’t mind other groups and races being shown to have impressive civilizations and contributions to the ancient world and to humanity, but for some reason, when it comes to the Negro, it strikes them with great fear and dread.

But we have to ask ourselves, why is that? This might be something that needs a psychological deep dive to get to the root of the issue of. After all, what kind of sickness would inspire the continual desperate insistence to promote the idea of black incompetence and to continue to perpetuate ignorance down to innocent children, black and otherwise, even to this very day?

I suppose there may be one of a few potential possibilities.

One is that there may be the possibility that they actually believe what they’re saying, regardless of how stupid it might be. I suspect that, with all due respect (which might not be much if they think that way anyway, but I digress), the people who believe such things probably aren’t well-educated or well-read. If they really do believe that, they probably haven’t taken any due diligence to do any actual research or any reading beyond what they have been indoctrinated to believe or they may not have critical thinking skills or the desire to question such an ignorant worldview that could be easily enlightened with a simple search of the internet.

The second possibility, which I suspect may actually be the most common, is that, for some reason, they are incapable of having a balanced mind, so they have to understand in extremes. It is as if their mind is not complex or reasonable enough to accept that more than one thing can be possible, so instead they have to accept that it’s either all or nothing. In other words, they can’t accept the balanced possibility that *gasps* white people, Asian people, AND Black people contributed awesome civilizations, inventions, etc. to humanity.

For some reason they feel that black greatness will somehow minimize or even take away any contributions that white people gave to the world! They seem to feel that if society admits that Black people did anything good, all of a sudden, all of the white peoples contributions will just vanish in smoke, never to be heard of again. So it’s like, in their imbalanced state of mind, the world simply isn’t “ big enough” for everyone to be great and to have done their part. It HAS to be that either white people are great and Black people are trash or if it is admitted that Black people did something great, then that must mean that white people are trash. Why is their insecurity is deep enough to think that it has to be only one way or the other? Who knows.

A third possibility, which may be offensive to some of you, is that maybe… just maybe… they actually have an inherent fear or even an inherent belief that civilization actually IS rooted from black Africans in some way. In that case, they may fear that if they even give in to the idea that certain so-called Middle Eastern* civilizations were actually black African, that it would lead researchers to the conclusion that all of ancient civilization started from Black people and, I guess, that would cause them to feel inferior in some way and/or it wouldn’t be convenient because it would destroy their mythology of white supremacy.

Personally, I don’t see why it has to be such a competition. Now, some might be goofy enough to claim that even this article is hypocritical because they might try to argue that it’s actually Black people who want to claim every civilization (again, according to their ignorance) in order to feel good about ourselves or to push an ideology of black supremacy. But that argument doesn’t add up because a lot of times when Black people talk about the things that Black people have done, it’s generally not just out of the clear blue to “feel good” but, rather, as a response to the ignorance perpetuated to the contrary, even by mainstream academia.

After all, every other race in the world seems to be given some type of credit for what they have done, yet people, due to their own insecurity, still want to promote the idea that Africa, one of the largest (if not the largest) continents in the world, with perhaps the most diverse population ever, was only filled with the most primitive (for lack of a better word, since I don’t even like referring to anyone in that way) societies. Just as there are magnificent areas of Europe as well as poor areas (the same with Asia, etc.), yes, there may have been poor places in Africa, but there were also rich ones! But for whatever reason, some people want to insist on making the world think that ALL of Africa was only filled with half-naked people who made homes no more advanced than a mud hut until the “great white hope” came and introduced a better way of life for the negro to enjoy ever since.

Anyway, this is just my rant when it comes to this strange obsession with promoting white supremacy and black incompetence, even in the futuristic-sounding year of 2023. I am aware of the “We Wuz Kangz” memes that sexually-frustrated white guys on the internet post to try to feel that they are relevant based on their skin color (perhaps because they have nothing else to attempt to go on). But what are your thoughts on all of this silliness?

Thanks for reading and for any claps, shares, and comments.

**P.S.

Although it is beyond the scope of this particular article, I do have the idea that what is commonly referred to as “the Middle East” may have been more properly referred to as Northeast Africa at one point and that referring to it as the Middle East may have been a political maneuver to further attempt to hide certain things, thus to push the narrative that only “Sub-Saharan” Africa had anything to do with black people.
