Frantz Fanon's "Black Skins, White Masks" is a classic; absolute mandatory reading for unraveling the diabolical mental twines and cords imposed upon Black people's psyches globally via slavery and/or colonialism. I've never read Hussein Bulhan's work, so I'm ordering that asap! Thanks, BlkViking, for the tip!<br /><br />And THANKS for the "Svedish history lesson", too! LMBO! (Sun block for Sven & Gustaf's exposed skin). :-) <br /><br />If/whenever you happen to be in San Francisco lemme know and we can hang out. But then, I take that back. San Francisco's becoming too genteel and even gentrified in many neighborhoods. You'd be TOO MUCH for this place! We'll hang across the Bay in Oakland. Now. That's better. Ooof.

It was very powerful and very moving. Some of those images, especially at the end, I can't remove from my head. And I couldn't agree more with Angela Davis. <br /><br />Hussein Abdilahi Bulhan (author of Frantz Fanon and the Psychology of Opression) defines violence as “any relation, process, or condition by which an individual or group violates the physical, social, and/or psychological integrity of another person or group.” Even if we didn't consider the fact that Sweden profited from the commodification** of black bodies, under Bulhan's definition, she has certainly committed violence against black bodies since then. Look at the racialized housing! Look at the labour market! Look at the cultural traditions she holds dear! Violence that destroys the heart and mind, if not the body.<br /><br /><br />**The ONLY reason Sweden didn't make more money from the slave trade is because there was no such thing as Sun block back then! Poor Sven and Gustaf couldn't handle the sun.<br />BlkVikingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595398753131290281.post-27157379750102842162012-10-21T23:57:45.952+02:002012-10-21T23:57:45.952+02:00BlkViking, good to hear.

You did a great job, and with this post not bad either. However, bro you can't have such an aggressive attitude: Malcom X and friends alike all had their time, place, and purpose in the Civil Rights movement, but dude you simply can't think like that anymore. Communicating and compromise is the only way that negative attitudes like Lena's will fade. Bro, I'm so there with you on not taking it from anybody, but fighting fire with gasoline does not work. Granted some people will never change, but most people don't know better. That’s why we as Black people must take the first step. With that being said, you’re right, the Swedes who happen to be black should not just sit there and allow material like this to be published, or as soon as it published the newspaper should regret hiring her in the first place. I dare for something like that to happen in America that is something we don’t go for. Americans (Black, White, Oriental, Asians, and Hispanic-Latino) we simply just don’t sit there and take it. Maybe the Swedes should take notes on great American protests.Rebel Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470291183968628744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595398753131290281.post-13970529025610726742012-10-17T05:57:22.436+02:002012-10-17T05:57:22.436+02:00We will all be waiting for your fiery report about...We will all be waiting for your fiery report about Afro-Spanish Youth Day, this Friday, October 19th.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01896531632878621005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595398753131290281.post-86152938102304452502012-10-16T21:03:55.315+02:002012-10-16T21:03:55.315+02:00I agree with blkviking sometimes you have to fight...I agree with blkviking sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

Personally, I am just sick and tired of being sick and tired. Yes, Sweden is at least 60 years behind the United States when it comes to anything concerning "Civil Rights." But I don't intend to let her catch up gracefully. My endurance is spent. I shouldn't have to wait for them to "get it." The world is a very different place than it was 60 years ago. We have literally become a world united by the power of the internet; technology. Ideas can spread faster than ever. If Sweden doesn't get the memo, that's her stubborn, pig-headed CHOICE. And I won't coddle her for it.BlkVikingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595398753131290281.post-46389622269789745102012-10-15T22:08:05.425+02:002012-10-15T22:08:05.425+02:00Admittedly, I'm more "early Malcolm X&quo...Admittedly, I'm more "early Malcolm X" than "Martin Luther King." Huey P. Newton and Stokely Carmichael fall more in line with my personal philosphies.<br /><br />Lena Anderrson is a sociopath. Make no mistake about it. I fervently believe that she lacks conscience and empathy. I BELIEVE her words. Maya Angelou wisely says, when people show you who they are, BELIEVE THEM. I believe that she would see us all dead if she could. That type of person can not be reasoned with. There is no civility. She does even think that "murder slugs" like us are even capable of or deserving of civility. She sees us as animals, worthy of our torment because we ALLOW it. And I will NOT allow it. And I think that is where you and I will differ...in how we individually manifest our "resistance."<br /><br />I absolutely respect your right to "combat" her in the way that you see fit. And I don't believe in or condone offense-centered violence, making the first blow. But I absolutely believe in defense and protecting myself and my own people by any means necessary. <br /><br />The ironic thing is that I'm sure Lena Andersson would rationalize that is precisely what she's doing. She thinks that whites need to arm themselves against the "murder slugs." But we know that particularly in recent history, whites have USUALLY "delivered the first blow" and have USUALLY been the aggressor, whether physically, socially, culturally or otherwise. But sociopaths and narcissists are blind to their own shortcomings and wrongdoings. They can not be coddled and woo'd into "coming around" and seeing another perspective. They only see/think/feel in terms aggressive and passive, strong and weak. Anything passive is by default WEAK. You and I know that to be false. But narcissists and sociopaths do not. And I will not lay down before them.BlkVikingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595398753131290281.post-60093515681811140822012-10-15T03:58:39.028+02:002012-10-15T03:58:39.028+02:00To BlkViking: Your heartfelt response to Lena Ande...To BlkViking: Your heartfelt response to Lena Andersson was some of the most moving, visceral writing I have read on the Internet in a long time. I know little or nothing of the situation of Afro-Swedes, living in Sweden or in the United States, so I am grateful to read and learn from individuals like you, who have lived and live this reality daily. THANKS for contributing!<br /><br />And keep a journal, bro, if you don't already! One of these days, after awhile, you will go back and read what you've written in your journal and find that you've created a poignant memoir!

But to be fair, I'd probably have a similar disposition if I too were a hate mongering, embittered, black-hearted, soulless, psychopathic, pathetic, insecure, hard-faced, ogre-ish, Lord of the Rings looking monstrosity. Clearly, she hates herself and sees fit to project that outwardly.<br /><br />She believes "murder slugs" should be be-headed. Well, I say, let's start first with hogs and pigs like her who wobble around, treading in filth and feasting on their own sh**. Hog-head cheese and bacon for everyone! That's the most civility I can muster for her and her ilk. What she said basically amounted to a call to arms with violent aggression against black immigrants. <br /><br />Afro-Swedes, the Revolution will not be televised.
