In the Crazy House Called America

In the Crazy House Called America


The murder of my child will not make your child safe.--James Baldwin



It is supreme irony that a child born on one of the most destructive days in American history, 9/11, would be murdered at nine years old, Christina Taylor Green, the child who suffered along with Congresswoman Gabriel Gifforts in the mass shooting in Arizona over the weekend.

What is the connection between 9/11 and the Arizona massacre? On 9/11 a group of young men from Saudi Arabia felt compelled to execute revenge on America for its oppressive role in the Middle East. In Arizona a mentally ill young man also believed the American political establishment was an oppressive institution so he felt compelled in his deranged mental state to execute justice on Congresswoman Gabriel Gifforts.

The roots of the right wing political thinking in the assassin's mind seems to originate in the post Civil War amendments to the the US Constitution, namely the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments that allegedly gave freedom from slavery to North American Africans. We must understand there is a substantial percentage of white Americans who have never come to terms with the freedom from slavery of North American Africans. In fact, if they could have their way, they would immediately re-inslave North American Africans. The incarceration of large numbers of North American Africans no doubt satisfies the racial fantasies of delusional white Americans who now have their worse nightmare with Obama in the White House. Imagine this: a nigger in the white house!

We can thus imagine the mental state of many white people is at the precipice, about to propel them into the chasm of their pathological mental state. The Republicans and their Tea Party sycophants have declared the mantra no, no, no, no nigger, no nigger, no nigger as we head into the 2012 elections. We must therefore expect the very worse things to happen on the way to 2012. The Arizona mass murder is but the beginning of sorrows.

What we are witnessing is the mass failure of minds that have always been fragile in the American racial nightmare that originated in the most abject white supremacy rationalizations that, Baldwin noted, long ago reached the pathological.

The Right Wing obviously care nothing about solving the unemployment crisis, the foreclosure mess, the deficit , the wars abroad, health insurance, immigration or any other mess except pursuing their dream of expanding white supremacy domination over the world, starting with re-instituting a whites only socio-political order inside America. They perceive the Left as their mortal enemy with North American Africans and other minorities expendable in the process of reclaiming American for whites only, a task so impossible by the very nature of the new demographics wherein the whiles shall ultimately be the minority in the very near future.

But rather than adjust their thinking to the new reality, they persist in advancing their mythological notions based on the most abominable ignorance, arrogance and severe mental derangement.

Our prescription is for White Americans to rush themselves to a Center to Recover from the Addiction to White Supremacy, wherein they shall remain for long term care. During their process of detoxification and recovery, they must be prevented from engaging in the political process, economic endeavors, educational pursuits, military adventures or religious involvement.
Yes, we want to them to simply chill for the benefit of themselves and others, namely the peace loving people of the world.

Dr. Nathan Hare

The North American Africans who are co-dependents of the mentally ill White Americans (Boss, we sick?), must also be apprehended and subjected to the same recovery program, although Dr. Nathan Hare says they suffer Type II White Supremacy: "...If Hegel was correct in his notion that the oppressor cannot free the slave, that the slave must force the oppressor's hand, then it is Type II White Supremacy Addiction which if not more resistant to cure, must occupy our primary focus. Type II White Supremacy may be seen as a kind of "niggeritis" or "Negrofication," growing out of an over-identification with the master, who is white. As in any disorder, severity of symptoms may vary from mild to moderate or severe.

Dr. Frantz Fanon

As Frantz Fanon put it when he spoke for the brother with jungle fever in Black Skin, White Mask, 'I wish to be regarded as white. If I can be loved by the white woman who is loved by the white man, then I am white like the white man; I am a full human being.' " (from How to Recover from the Addiction to White Supremacy, Dr. M (Marvin X),Black Bird Press, 2008, foreword by Dr. Nathan Hare, afterword by Ptah Allah El.)

The solution to any problem is first recognition of it. America is one giant mental hospital with no doctors present capable of solving the myriad mental health issues originating is the notion of white supremacy. There is no hope until people come out of De Nile, denial!
