Parable of Global Insanity

Covid19 exacerbated an already
severe mental health condition among the population in full blown denial of it's rabid and pervasive racicity, compounded with legal and illegal drug use, which classifies them as dual diagnosed. The Covid19 Plague is pandemic, thus as Ray Charles said, "The Danger Zone is everywhere!"
Whether Covid19 is a bio-weapon of the Globalist and their desire for population control, time will tell, but it has been a long held dream of the Eugenicists, e.g., Margaret Sanger, Hitler, the parents of Bill Gates, Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton (her shero is Margaret Sanger, fact check), and last but not least, Bernie Sanders who called for population control in Africa. The above named personalities represent the most diabolical frenge of the mentally insane, especially so since they represent the leadership class. Added to this group are the psychotic Zionist in Israel who believe there version of white supremacy is an acceptable form of Nazism and Apartheid. And in their world of make believe, think their weapons are greater than the spirit of the Palestinians they oppress, especially in the Gaza concentration camp. Mythology is often the harbinger of insanity, especially communal, religious and national.
India appears to be in mental atrophy with the racist leadership in severe psychosis, not only by championing the racist religiousity of the Hindu caste system, but the denial that the Covid19 viruse would devastate its population if it continued mass political rallies and religious festivals. The supreme irony is that India was producing the vaccine but exported it to the detriment and deprivation of its own citizens. Does this sound like the Modi regime is walking on solid ground? We will end this discourse with the Governor Coumo of New York who seems to suffer a well known sexual pathology that caused his myopic decision to send Covid19 patients back to rest homes only to infect the residents and cause untold death. Meanwhile he's biting women on the neck and pinching their butts. In the immortal words of Prince, "Let's go crazy!"
Toward the Solution: Revolution
Of course Dr. Frantz Fanon, Wretched of the Earth, taught us that revolution is the critical route the oppressed must embark upon to regain their sanity. Dr. Nathan Hare said essentially the same, i.e., revolution is the necessary potion or anti-toxin for the oppressed to regain their mental equilibrium. There is no other prescription other than escapism into Dr. Frazier's "world of make believe," which is no prescription based on reality. As per recovery from the addiction to white supremacy, Dr. Hare says we must first distinguish Type I, i.e., the oppressor's addiction, and Type II, the addiction of the oppressed.
As per Type I, especially in light of Critical Race Theory, the oppressor's children are astounded to know they bear the shame of their ancestors, along with their inheritance of wealth accumulation from the fruits of capitalism and slavery. In their utter denial (from which they can never enter the process of recovery, since denial is critical to the maintenance of addiction in any form), they wish to claim innocence yet seek to deny the umbilical cord of their ancestors is yet connected to them, if only symbiotically since they wish to keep their social distance from the deeds their ancestors. But, alas, they cannot achieve this attempt to disassociate themselves from their past as addicts of White Supremacy Type I, just as North American Africans cannot severe their roots as descendants of the American Slave System (Ed Howard term), no matter that it is fashionable today for North American Africans to declare their Moorish roots or nationality, suggesting many of us were living freely throughout the Americas long before Columbus set sail to India but in his abysmal ignorance claimed he discovered India in America! We do not deny the African presence in the Americas before Columbus, since there is ample evidence Africans during the Ghana, Mali and Shongay empires traveled and lived throughout the Americas. We do not deny the Africans known as Moors were prevalent in the Americas. Alas, the first US treaty was signed with
the Moorish Kingdom of Morocco, and the US navy was formed to contain the Moors known as Barbary pirates. Clearly, all of us North American Africans did not arrive here on slave ships, i.e., the Good Ship Jesus. We did not endure the Door of No Return. Yet, no matter our presence, there is only slight evidence of our presence as independent nationals. Palmares in Brazil was a liberated territory for a century and preceded Haiti as an independent nation of North American Africans, whose liberation was possible because their Vudun religion enabled them to have a democratic society, wherein all voices were represented in the Vudun myth-ritual. And, as per North American Africans regaining their mental equilibrium through the process of revolution, there is the similar need to allow freedom of speech that will allow all voices to be heard, thus a consensus derived that shall usher us into a unified voice for that final trek up the hill to liberation, yes, transcending the Sisyphusian tragedy that is a Greek formation and as Cheikh Anta noted, is not a Southern Cradle myth-ritual. Thus, we are not doomed to eternal victimization by the myth of white supremacy or white lunacy. Alas, when I wrote my manual How to Recover from the Addiction of/to White Supremacy, several well meaning persons emailed me to suggest I change the title to How to Recover from White Lunacy, i.e., insanity. Someone reminded me our elders used to say, "Leave dem white folks 'lone cause de crazy." Another elder woman added, "Being black ain't so bad, it's just inconvenient!" Alas, inconvenience is a critical moment in our Part II addiction process. We must submit to abject humiliation as a survival technique. I often tell of the Oakland police department's Tone Test when stopping North American Africans. Based on your tone of voice, when the OPD stop you, one of three things can happen: arrest, release or death. OPD Chief Hart denied the tone test but one of my Mill's College students who became an OPD officer revealed the tone test in the Oakland Tribune Newspaper interview. Of course she was fired for frivolous reasons after revealing the Tone Test. But I tell young brothers and sisters, be aware of the Tone Test when stopped by the police. Their DNA derived from the slave catchers (see the History Channel's documentary Slave Catchers and Resisters) and police have not evolved from the slave catcher mentality, except in Newark, New Jersey under the administration of Mayor Ras Baraka and his Chief of Staff, Amiri Baraka, Jr. They have revolutionize police behavior in Newark, New Jersey. I have recounted during my East Coast book tour, February 2020, when I arrived in Newark, the people overwhelmed me with such declarations as, "This is the first time in my life I have felt free of the police dominating my life." This was said to me repeatedly by the citizens of Newark and I claim this city as one of my East coast homes, so I know the people would not lie to me. Even the Mayor's and Chief of Staff's Mother, Amina Baraka, said, "I don't know how to act when police walk through the hood smiling," (as her sons have demanded they do). Further, in my interview with Amiri Baraka, Jr. at City Hall, he said, "Marvin, my brother is elected, I am not, so if the police get out of line, I can chop off their heads. When my brother, the Mayor, put a white supremacist in head of the police, I didn't immediately understand that my brother was letting the white supremacist know he knew who to call upon if some funky shit went down. I appreciate my brother for his insight."
As per Mayor Ras Baraka, in my interview with him at City Hall, he noted that there had been no police shootings during his administration, although we heard there was a police shooting at the beginning of his second term. But as per the police killings and the riots that followed, nothing happened in Newark, New Jersey. The Mayor said that not only has he reduced police murder under the color of law, but he has reduced gang violence as well by hiring the gang bangers to secure the hood. Many of the brothers and sisters have received employment checks for the first time in their lives. The Mayor has arranged for the brothers and sisters to get their GEDs and acquire land vacant since the Newark Rebellion on 1967 for housing. Mayor Baraka and Chief of Staff, Amiri Baraka, Jr. did not think much of abolishing police. Apparently, they have devised a model to recover the police from their addiction to White Supremacy Type II.
Unless America desires to persist in denial, the Newark, New Jersey Model must be considered as a true solution to the addiction of white supremacy Part I and II.
Why we separate Recovery from Parts I and II
Under the facilitation of Dr. Nathan Hare, PhD., Sociology, PhD, Clinical Psychology and Sister Suzzette Celeste, B.A., MSW, MPA, we began a peer group based on my 12 Step Model to Recover from the Addiction to White Supremacy. We immediately noted that subjects in Part I and II must be segregated unless they were deeply infused in Black consciousness, even though they were white. Subjects in Part II had no desire to share their testimonies of white supremacist trauma with whites, and this was especially true for Black women who were the angriest as a result of their trauma under white supremacy. They were angry to the point of homicide, particularly when it came to the survival of their sons, for whom they worried about excessively as per would they return from a night out in the hood. Although I am a father who had two sons, I never worried about my sons, rather my three daughters who used to leave out late at night to attend hip hop events, especially when they were scantily dressed. And I was in deep trauma when one of my daughter's came home drunk and her daughter was up to see her mother in a drunken state. Of course this has nothing whatsoever to do with whether sons make it home at all, the most serious fear of black mothers coast to coast as I have witnessed in conversations at Howard University and in the Bay Area. Many years ago I attended meetings with mothers who'd lost sons in drive by killings. Attending such meetings was overwhelming to me and my trauma is so great, years late I cannot find the strength to attend such rallies as the Oscar Grant, et al., celebrations of the untold martyrs who continue to suffer police violence under the color of law.
But during the intervening years since I attended meetings with the mother's who'd lost sons to police and drive-by killings, when I set up my Academy of Da Corner at 14th and Broadway, downtown Oakland, the police harassment was minor to the people who came to my book stand to share their suffering and trauma. Although I was mainly selling my books, it wasn't long before it became clear to me I had a greater mission. For sure, I had made myself accessible as few writers have done in our history. Alas, I soon discovered many of our people have never met a writer in their lives and were in total awe of us and humble before us. I soon recognized my task and mission was far beyond autographing my books, which I didn't enjoy anyway. I saw my task was a healer, teacher of adults and youth, mothers and fathers.
I knew my task was critical when a young man suffering trauma and grief got up in my face eyeball to eyeball to share his testimony. He wanted to make sure I was listening to him.
Understand, people came to me at 14th and Broadway because they sensed I would listen to their trauma and grief, while no one else would, including the police who often wouldn't bother to visit them. to make a report on the loss of their loved one. They asked me to explain to them why there was no rally, march, police investigation, indictment for those who killed their loved one, whether police or hood related, and yes, often it was a hood related incident I remember one time a brother came to me in a rage and was determined to kill his brother, but I do believe I talked him out of it.
Alas, there was a time when people came to kill me, more than once, and beyond the OPD who road down on me three cars deep at 14th and Broadway, supposedly because they "heard" I was selling pornographic literature. Of course they were referring to my 18 page pamphlet The Mythology of Pussy and Dick that became a classic with youth and parents. Parents told me they put it on the beds of their sons and daughters to make sure they read it. A 16 year old female read it with her mother but said she wished she'd read it when she was eight! One young lady read it and announced loudly that she was happy to discover she owned her pussy since she had been under the illusion somebody else owned her pussy and body as well. She was overjoyed to discover she owned her body.
Can you understand only we can heal us. If drug addicts can heal each other in peer groups, I surmised those of us suffering the addiction to white supremacy, yes, Type I and II, can recover. As per Type I, today I heard a young white girl cry out that she didn't want to be a racist. While my primary concern is recovery from addiction to white supremacy Type II, in my manual How To Recover from the Addiction to White Supremacy, I apologized for whites, even though in a combined peer group session, a white girl absolutely refused to accept any white guilt and charged me with being a racist for suggesting whites were in anyway guilty of addiction to white supremacy, especially her generation so infused with Black Lives Matter. Yet, how many Black Lives Matter marchers leave the march to purchase a home in the hood that displaces Blacks, no matter the pseudo progressive whites put Black Lives Matter signs in their windows?
In recovery, we are taught addiction is cunning and vile, so even when we enter recovery, residue persists in the deep structure of our minds, and often a slip on the tongue reveals our addiction to white supremacy is alive and well. Thus, as per recovering from the addiction to white supremacy, consider a long term recovery program, and this is for those suffering Type I and Type II.
And do not be overly concerned about can we recover together. If you suffer Type I, concern yourself with the maladies of Type I, including denial, false narrative, residue, desire to dominate as per white privilege, and other issues.
Type II addicts should concern themselves with denial as well, but in the Kemetic wisdom, De Nile is not the name of the Nile River, alas, it is Hapi, so if the Type I and II addicts came out of De Nile they would be Hapi. The Type II addicts might consider our psycho-linguistic crisis that will transfer us, alas, transform and transcend us from niggas to Negus, royalty. We suspect this psycho-linguistic transformation will alter our consciousness and elevate us into the Upper Room of our Father's and Mother's House. I wish somebody would say Amen, Ache', As-Salaam-Alaikum.
