white people of his ilk have demonstrated that they only view Black people in terms of labor and resources to exploit for their benefit.
i view this as the reality of whiteness in 2025. so it hints at an enduring permanence that will not change.
so if we were to map out this idea of race as permanence against black thought it would look something like this:
i'm specifically looking at race within this construct:
- frame
- locus
- permanence
- possibility of change
- teleology
jared taylor
- frame: race realism
- locus: race is biological
- permanence: absolute
- possibility of change: none
- teleology: preservation of hierarchy
frank b. wilderson
- frame: afropessimism
- locus: race is ontological
- permanence: absolute
- possibility of change: none and/or only at world's end
- teleology: abolition of existing order
marcus garvey
- frame: nationalist/providential
- locus: race is political/spiritual
- permanence: semi-permanent
- possibility of change: through self-determination
- teleology: nationhood and dignity
neeley fuller/frances cress welsing
- frame: genetic/psychological/systemic
- locus: behavioral/psychogenic
- permanence: semi-permanent
- possibility of change: through code change + therapy
- teleology: conscious agency
booker t. washington
- frame: socio-economic pragmatism
- locus: material condition
- permanence: temporary
- possibility of change: through industry and virtue
- teleology: economic agency
w.e.b. dubois
- frame: pycho-social-historical
- locus: double consciousness/color line
- permanence: durable but historical
- possibility of change: through knowledge, struggle, art, and solidarity
- teleology: universal humanism enriched by difference
cheikh anta diop
- frame: ecological
- locus: civilizational
- permanence: contingent
- possibility of change: through intercultural balance
- teleology: historical agency
noi (early) malcolm x
- frame: theological
- locus: moral theology
- permanence: conditional
- possibility of change: through sovereignty + divine justice
- teleology: moral agency
frederick douglas + martin luther king jr.
- frame: moral humanism
- locus: ethical + spiritual
- permanence: transient illusion
- possibility of change: through love + law
- teleology: moral agency
----------------------------
all acknowledge a "race realism" but the locuses are different.
locus - thinker
biological - taylor
ontological - wilderson
political/providential - garvey
systemic/psychological - neeley, welsing
socio-economic - washington
psycho-social (consciousness) - dubois
cultural/ecological - diop
theological/moral - douglass, king, noi
----------------------------
so if there is an acknowledgment of race realism (although within the paradigm of black thought not taylor's) how would they all view taylor's prescriptive "separation" as solution?
thinker - view - reason
wilderson - irrelevant/meaningless - anti-blackness transcends geography/no refuge
garvey - endorse - separation valid for black sovereign empowerment, not for white retreat
neeley, welsing - partial diagnostic agreement but rejects prescription - separation reflects white fear neurosis, not cure
washington - partially endorse - cooperation and uplift - not fixed division or fixed inequality
dubois - reject - race is historical and mental, not fixed by borders
diop - reject - balance between civilizations, not physical partition
noi (early) malcolm x - accept reparative separation - justified if reparation and sovereignty accompany it
douglas/king - reject - morally wrong, unity and justice are divine ends
so it would seem garvey, washington, noi (early) malcolm x would have no problem endorsing taylor's prescription. and most likely the likes of tariq nasheed and jason black (which is why this is on his channel).
----------------------------
with all this said, where are we going as a people? what is the end?
a. separation with independence and autonomy
b. integration with independence
c. total assimilation
d. blow the whole system up
if there is a degree of permanence, do we work within the system?
if it's not, what is the solution considering the various loci of race realism?
is the problem too complex for solutions, so do we add inertia to the demise of the current system?
----------------------------
what good is separation without tackling capitalism? what good is tackling capitalism without tackling the fear of white genetic annihilation? as
@HarlemHottie suggested, they will just invent a new system. what good is any of this if anti-blackness is global and ontological?
what are the solutions, how do we move forward?
apologies, this was a long post.
