This is entirely my perspective. I am working from the We Remember Document
pinned to the sub.
We are experiencing and reacting to different structures.
I call the LEPS (Legal, Economic, Political, Social/Cultural)
The infrastructure that we need to build starts with the interaction of this system
and structure and there’s many routes to take without emulation of the
collaborators. They believed in the system and they weren’t wrong but their
interactions with it were.
We need the Political Structure but to build this infrastructure we need a strong
Social and Cultural process. (Hint: Delineation)
There’s exchanges and systems of trust. The scales of power in our community are
broken.
See Black Power / Support as a Resource.
This is where our ops manifest themselves clearly as internal forces.
Collaborators interact with the System as it is. They collaborate with Occupiers in
exchange for personal gain.
Divesters interact with the System in order to jump ship and invest into its
maintenance.
Tethers interact with this System to direct our energy towards foreign policy
(downplaying domestic policies) in order to advocate for their respective status.
Infiltrators/Saboteurs interact with this system in order to redirect our resource
into a coalition under their banner. They do this in exchange of power
Proxies react to this system
This is a series of exchanges that each group gets out of their interaction no
matter how arbitrary that result/payoff is.
They benefit from “how things are.” They mirror the external opposition.
The external opposition benefit in various ways as well.
Occupiers benefit because they get to maintain their control of the system. Both
parties have different approaches to the same objectives.
Appropriators benefit because they can continue to leverage social capital globally
boosting global influence
Extractors benefit because they can continue to extract and disrupt the economic
leakage of Black America. As long ad they can siphon money from our
communities they are appeased.
Dismantlers benefit by being sure that our infrastructure is never built and they
remain the dominant power group. They dismantle what we are building in order to
use those bricks for their own.
Conscripts benefit from the privileges that trickle down from the power hierarchy
the proverbial white privilege (it’s really just white power)
They use various forms metrics and levers through the LEPS to maintain Imperial
hegemony as the world has changed significantly.
We are moving from the age of respectability politics.
Social-Cultural:
First we need to completely delineate. Delineation is vital because African,
Caribbean, and Occupiers lay CLAIM to who we are and what we have produced
(our fruit gets sold under a brand that they are in control of)
A claim is a legal, dynastic, or religious justification an entity uses to assert
authority over land, people, or titles they do not currently control.
Claims give entities casus belli.
Africans and Caribbeans claims rest in cultural and genealogical claims. Our
cultural capital gives them access to enjoy real estate that we built but think! If I’m
sharing an estate with someone who didn’t help me farm it but laid a claim to it
because we are distant relatives what would you think!
The assertion is that
“Because your ancestors came from our region or sphere, your culture belongs to
us as well and thus we have access to practice it.”
Their plight is all about Access and representation. It’s why they do the shell
game.
By asserting that: “Black Americans” is an North American creolized ethnic group
who descended from the formerly classified American Negro that endured
American colonial policies of Enslavement and Race based discrimination in the
form of Legal, Economic, Political, and Social-cultural disruptions.
It dissolves the origin myth and race based phenotypical conflation.
Black = The Sociopoltical, Sociocultural, Ethnonational identifier for the
descendants of the formerly classified American Negro.
Clarifying and asserting this identity creates the foundation for the building blocks.
Political-Legal
The idea here is to create an organization that verifies membership through
genealogy (let’s flip their “race card” bullshit into a legitimate Black Card that
grants access to a economic network) this organization has to be able to hold
internal elections and represents Black Americans as a distinct people with our
own council. This system of officially recognizing and consulting lineage or
ethnicity based representative bodies is already practiced in several European
nations and no European power structures. They have power-sharing
arrangements that give distinct cultural or linguistic communities formal political
representation.
We need a council that hosts mini councils that ideologically represent each Power
Blocs
The Boule The Sisterhood The LGBTQ+ The Underground The People Pan-Africans
(Afrocentric) Pro-Black (Nationalism)
This organizes yet delineates the power blocs while being able to direct black
power as a group. These groups vote in state, regional, and national
representatives. Three figureheads (not a singular entity)
The problem is we need the legitimacy of the people who currently would only
accept a government backed structure. It appears to be collaborative however this
is an exchange that must happen. It is interactive but not collaborative in maintains
its fragmentation.
Once that internal legitimacy is established, it seeks formal recognition from state
and federal governments ideally through a congressional charters so the council
becomes the official body that speaks for the People who will feel represented
through the minicouncils
Economic
Once all of this is established, we then have the political social and legal
infrastructure to press economic claims and facilitate those claims. We have the
leverage and network to form alliances with Interests groups like banks,
corporations, politicians, etc. who wouldn’t want a massive influential Black
American Council who could sway elections or defund/empower systems?
Formal identification (delineation), Reparations, Anti Black Hate Crime Bill,
The big problem rn is if Black America got reparations it would instantly be
siphoned out.
Here we have to cultivate the ecosystem to recirculate the black dollar back into
the communities. The infrastructure needed here is a Bank or Credit union that we
control or that we have built a strategic alliance with. With that network created via
Social-Political infrastructure, entities would be want that access
We don’t control the culture we have created and the supply chain is facilitated by
extractors and animated by Proxies.
Alliances and diplomacy have their place once we are delineated by currently it
would be foolish to act with diplomacy when we have no power
The victories of the past were illusions. True victory can only be achieved by
demonstrating that our power (they fear a “Haiti” which is why they use racial
occupation) is superior. But power has many forms and rn our culture is a weapon.
We don’t control it so they can prop up anybody they want just like we just seen
with Monaleo or figures like Jay Z.
They cannot stop what is happening and will have to form strategic alliances. They
can delay but they cannot stop
The scales must be balanced and the pendulum swing corrective.
These are proscriptive in the sense that it is an “ideal” vision.
In practical applications the hostile entities would be amongst our own ranks.
Black+ Doctrine is thus the cure to division. (Black+ identity, Black+ Status, Black+
ideology, etc etc Black > Dividers (Class Religion Region Politics (ideology) Gender
Identity )
Analyzing this understand how each of the 10 forces internal and external
oppositions play their roles in keeping Black American subjugated and their
payoffs.
Internal-External
They are reacting to the system. They are symptoms of the structures.
Collaborator – Occupier
The Political Circuit where The Collaborator serves the Occupier’s system,
enforcing its rules among l in exchange for proximity to power. The Occupier
controls through intermediaries outsourcing domination to insiders. Together, they
maintain governance dependency. Internal legitimacy traded for external
validation.
Collaborators think if I follow the rules and play their game, I win.
Occupiers think if we allow some of them to win it gives the rest an illusion that our
system works impartially
Divester – Appropriator
The Cultural Circuit where The Divester abandons the collective to assimilate/
integrate (jump ship for whatever reason) into the dominant system. The
Appropriator welcomes this divestment to extract ideas, aesthetics, and
legitimacy. The Divester wants personal inclusion and the Appropriator wants
collective exploitation. Together, they sustain cultural leakage that serves to
siphon Black power and identity.
Divesters think if I can have access to your platform so I can jump ship, you can
use my cultural token.
Appropriators think if you give me access to your cultural tokens, then I can
benefit from them
Tether – Extractor
The Economic Circuit where The Tether diverts the collective’s attention and
activism toward external agendas (foreign diasporas, tangential causes). The
Extractor exploits this distraction to keep siphoning resources and disrupting
internal circulation. Together, they ensure economic dependency. Black capital
exits as quickly as it’s produced.
Tethers think if you look abroad, I’ll take what’s established at home since you
didn’t use these opportunities. We can be a better you
Extractors think we can continue to drain your resources to build our own resource
while yours decay
Infiltrator/Saboteur – Dismantler
The Institutional Circuit is where The Infiltrator enters movements or councils to
fracture them from within and redirect them to their causes. The Dismantler
attacks from without, co-opting, absorbing, or destroying what emerges. Together,
they prevent infrastructure maturity so that no structure grows beyond control or
replication.
Infiltrators/Saboteurs think if we can get access then we can get access to your
resource to support our own.
Dismantlers think if we can’t own it, it must be broken.
Proxy – Conscript
The Social Circuit is where The Proxy internalizes the logic of oppression
becoming a native carrier of its values animating their caricatures by reaction
whereas the Conscript benefits from the privileges of domination but must
constantly enforce it to maintain status. Together, they sustain cultural
colonization the social reproduction of imperial hierarchy within our own image.
Proxies think I’ll be what they say we are to win
Conscripts think as long as I’m not at one of them I’m not at the bottom
The chains that were placed on us and the chains we’ve put on ourselves must be
broken.
Delineation is the first step
