Most of us are scared and will "analyze the victim", hide behind religion, or adopt other egotistical mechanisms (including, religion, sex, money, etc.) instead of confronting the issue. In fact, that is what you are doing right now...ducking and hiding, "analyzing the victims" of a White Supremacist culture, instead of facilitating our direct confrontation with it.

What are you afraid of shemsi? Why are you hiding?
You know nothing about me to say that I am afraid of white supremacy or you or anything else son.
what you write about is what you have read. I lived in the era of the confrontation between black and white. I saw first hand whites who were empowered from the early 20th century white supremacists. I stood face to face against them looking them in their eyes and saw them realize that we were not like most of our foreparents.
I remember the respect my grandfather got from whites because he did not give in to them. My grandfather left a plantation on a wagon with my dad and grandmother in the 20s and moved to the hills where he hired on with a doctor. He made a deal with him to work off 10 acres and when the doctor died was told by the wife that she did not know about the deal.
My dad was hot headed and wanted to get ignorant. my grandfather stayed him and bargained to work for it again with a drawn up contract. He did and they did. Not only did he get the 10 acres but ended up with over 200 that they purchased by hard work on a farm that they owned.
I have talked to black people who know first hand what happened after emancipation. Who saw the viciousness of the white supremacist of the late 19th century (post civil war) and the beginning of the 20th when the supremacist designed to bring a form of slavery back.
Yeah I talk out of my head and you from the books. I talk from first hand experience and you from presumptive knowledge.
The more people like you believe you know shemsi, the less you show it....
tell me what do you fear?
and as far as analyzing....for the most part we do a very poor job of it, if we did a better job of it we would set our priorities in order...
