How Blacks Can Defeat the KKK, Once and For All

One word–education. There is no other objective that is going to free those blacks who are still oppressed from the shackles of poverty, drugs, violence, and misery. Without education, you are easily enslaved. With education, you are the master of your destiny. Unfortunately, black pop culture as portrayed in hip-hop and rap music videos glamorizes sex, violence, and drugs and puts down blacks who become educated as being sellouts and too “white”. Black leaders focus on reparations (it’ll never happen and it wouldn’t help if it did), government money for black neighborhoods, and fighting racism. Sure, racism is a problem, but if you fight against racism by calling it out and sueing it you’ll never win. You might get racists to be quiet. You might get them to hide. But you’ll be a long time fighting before you get rid of them. Meanwhile, your kids are shooting each other in the streets, doing drugs, making babies they can’t take care of, and all the while the solution to these problems is right in front of you within reach if you’ll just grab it.

Great, so education is the solution, but how? I’ve already written a post about what I think is the fastest solution, which is for black teenage girls to withold sex from any black man who hasn’t graduated from high school, but I’ve got some other ideas too that might seem more realistic to you.

1. Give up the victim status. You’ll never succeed as a community, and rarely as individuals, as long as you see yourself as a powerless victim. As long as you hold out hope for reparations, you’re a victim, and you have no power. As long as you get welfare, food stamps, or accept affirmative action you’re a victim. See yourself as a survivor. See yourself as powerful enough to overcome the extra challenges you have. And then go to work and don’t let anyone stop you. Don’t expect favors. Don’t expect preferential treatment. Figure out the system and then work that system to your long-term advantage. If having a college degree means you’ve got twice as good a chance of getting out of poverty permanently, then work three jobs and live on 3-4 hours of sleep for four years until you get it. Whatever you do, don’t wait for the government to do anything for you. If anything is going to happen, you’re going to have to do it yourself without the government’s help. The good news is that you’re completely capable of doing it yourself, you just need to start believing in yourself.

2. Boycott the pop culture. 70-80% of rap and hip-hop music is purchased by teenage white boys, so I’m not pretending if black people stop buying it that the rap artists are going to change their ways. But who knows, it might get the attention of some of them and show them what they’re doing to their own people and they may come around. But the boycott isn’t to hurt them, it’s to help you and your children. Don’t allow your kids to watch hip-hop and rap music. Better yet, get rid of your TV entirely. It’s not doing you any good. Videos of thugs with their harems definitely isn’t doing you any good. You’re not going to get out of the ‘hood by becoming a rap artist or getting into the NBA. You’re going to get out of there and into the good life by getting a good education, and anybody who tells you otherwise or who makes fun of you or discourages you or holds you back is your enemy until you convince them to support you.

3. Don’t depend on schools for your education. A high-school degree is a good thing. A college degree is better. But a true education is best, and you can get that for free off the Internet at your local library, if you don’t have it at home. If the schools aren’t delivering, then educate yourself. The resources are there for kids, as well as parents.

4. Get politically smart. The black community has shot itself in the foot by voting as a large bloc with the Democrats. The Democrats take you for granted, and the Republicans don’t have a prayer of winning the black vote, so they both ignore you. Political parties focus on “swing” voters who may change their mind of who to vote for depending on issues. These are the voters for whom politicians are bringing home the bacon, or pork, to be more accurate. So what do you do? First of all, don’t vote for parties. Vote for issues, make education your #1 issue, and make sure the politicians know that you’re no longer a party voter, but an issues voter. And tell them you’re not happy with the status quo. Tell them you want a good education for you and your children, you want it now, and you’re tired of the same old story.

What is the same old story when it comes to education? That there isn’t enough money being spent. This is ridiculous. Money is not the problem and never has been. The problem is a lack of competition in the system. The current system is run by the education unions, and they want money and power. How do they get it? By protecting teachers from competition. They do this by insisting on tenure and certifications. Tenure makes it harder for schools to get rid of bad teachers. Certifications make it harder for people who would be good teachers to become teachers. For example, I’ve got a master degree in information systems management. I’ve run a business for ten years. I like working with teenagers. I think I could be a pretty darn good high school teacher. If a school wanted to get the best teachers, they would have a simple interview process. They would interview me, look at my qualifications, and say “Man, this guy would be great, let’s hire him.” But I can’t do that. I’d have to get certified. Does that certification make me a better teacher? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe the process is such a pain that I would never go through it. Maybe other people who would be great teachers are also kept from becoming teachers for the same reason.

The way you get rid of unions and increase the quality of the schools your kids are attending is to vote for anyone and anything that increase competition. Vouchers are one. School choice is another. Teacher choice within schools is yet another. The easier it is for you to pick which school and which teacher your kids get, the more teachers will be forced to compete with each other, because if they don’t compete they won’t have anyone to teach and they’ll get fired. The more schools are forced to compete with each other the more they’ll recruit good teachers, otherwise they’ll go out of business. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to preserve their own power or income at the expense of your child.

Once you understand this fourth point, then you’ve got power over politicians, and that means you’ve got the power to change the course of your education and the education of your children.

5. Don’t let anyone or anything get in your way. If your leaders are talking about reparations, systemic racism, corrupt policemen, and whitey holding you back, then fire that leader and get a new one. That kind of leader is holding you back in order to make money off of you. Think about it–if you succeed, you don’t need them anymore. If you don’t need them, they’ll be out of a job. It’s not in their interest to see you succeed. So leave them behind and make your own way. You can do it, and it might not be as hard as you’ve been led to believe.

The greatest fear for a member of the KKK is an educated black man or woman. I don’t agree with Barack Obama’s policies, but I have to admit it gives me a certain amount of pleasure to think of the KKK and other white racists squirming to see a black man in the White House. Even if Obama wrecks everything else, it’s almost worth it. But he’s just one successful black man. As long as 20-30% of the black population of this country lives in poverty, then the KKK is winning. Education, gained by sheer will and self-determination, is the only way to win this war.
