Am I Racist?
Sure, I laughed 'til my stomach hurt, BUT this movie is no joke. One more example of Chaos-Makers in action, and I'm not talking about Matt Walsh.
Saturday, September 14th, 2024
If you’re following my new “trans” series, you’ve been introduced to my use of the term, “chaos-makers.” If not, let me lay the foundation.
Chaos-Making is a fine art. A cruel, damaging, socially destructive, profitable and extremely selfish form of art, but an art nonetheless. And, like all great works of art, choas is created by artists who set out to put paint, charcoal, ink AND blood, on canvas.
Chaos-making is an intentional act. It has high level actors who are extremely well-funded and low level actors (wealthy or poor, educated or not) who fall into line, unwittingly obeying the narratives foisted upon them.
From Obama’s “nudges” to Naomi Klein’s “Disaster Capitalism” to the “Facebook - Cambridge Analytica” fiasco, to Jeffrey Epstein’s Island (Blackmail 101) and Jeffrey’s death (not mysterious) — the world is under the thumb of what could be described as humanity’s Greatest Mafia Families.
While the chaos-makers of the world place their best players on the field, engaging in an intricate, complicated, savvy and ruthless game — we (the people) aren’t in the stadium at all. Not even in the nosebleed section!
Hell, most of us won’t make it to the tailgating party.
But, you ask — why cause Chaos? Simple. Humans in flight, cowering in a corner, or bickering with their fellow humans are much, much easier to manipulate, direct and control.
And Matt Walsh? He’s shining a light on these machinations and perpetrators again and again and again. Oh, and yes! Just like the word conspiracy, “machinations” is in the dictionary, too!
machination /măk″ə-nā′shən, măsh″-/
noun
The act of scheming or plotting.
A crafty scheme or cunning design for the accomplishment of a sinister end.
The act of machinating.
Such words serve as a reminder to us today, that people in the past were less naive and foolish. They knew, without a doubt, that evil intentions and plots are not fiction or fantastical.
They are very, very real.
Go see this movie — if you can handle it.
Wait! Wait? Shouldn’t I be recommending this movie to everyone? Maybe — not?
I’m not going to tell you much about this movie. Matt Walsh does that perfectly well all on his own. Today, I’m going to give you an example of who might not want to see this movie. An example that, ironically, proves why this movie is necessary. A concrete example, from my personal life, of a Black American woman who was captured by the chaos-makers in her childhood, and who — as a result — is suffering far more than she might otherwise.
It involves South Korea and the word “I.”
As many of you know, I’m currently enjoying the robust changes of my very early 50’s. This includes a divorce (not as scary as it sounds), beautiful & mature adult sons already living their best lives (I had kids young), and all that comes with regaining time for my own self. This includes a return to old loves (social dancing, my faith journey, reading fiction) and new loves (all things South Korean)!
As my future adventures involve travel to South Korea (where the 3rd book in my novel series will take place), I am exploring whether to visit short term — or possibly — live in South Korea for a time, as an English teacher. I’ve been looking into it that option with the help of my Korean Tutor.
And a few weeks ago — a position opened up for a reason that I see as the downstream effect of chaos-makers in the United States of America.
There is a certain word spoken by South Korean students on a constant basis, as they say things, such as: “I am tired.” “I am so hungry!” “I need a pencil.” “I would like to use the bathroom.” “I did well on my test.” “I wish we had less homework.” Etc.
What word do all of those sentences have in common? “I.”
There are actually several words for “I” in South Korea, because the language has various levels of politeness, but the one most frequently used by students is: 내가.
This perfectly innocent, many centuries-old word, developed long before people on the Korean peninsula ever met a person with Black African features (remember, you can’t just say African, because many Arabs are also African) is pronounced: Nay-Gah.
What does this word have to do with racism in America?
(Or…what does 내가 have to do with the price of K-Pop in Asia? Tea in China? Etc.)
It all begins with a theme/trope that western civilization chaos-makers have been hard at work developing. The goal is very similar to “forever wars.”
Chaos-makers are hard at work building, repairing, and expanding “FOREVER RACIAL DIVISION” in America. Their “racism maintenance programs” have evolved, keeping pace with what society could accept, tolerate, trust and be complicit with over the years.
If you’re goal is to divide poor people by race, you couldn’t do a better job.
(1) First, chaos-makers created the “racism maintenance program” we saw in the slave states of the south, where poor whites (descendants of the earliest colonists, who later wealth-class colonists wanted to subjugate) were taught to hate their fellow poor black neighbors (who were also colonists, only they’d been dragged to the continent against their will).
(2) Then, chaos-makers caused the Civil War, twisting the promise of human liberty into an ugly new “racism maintenance program” know as Jim Crow.
(3) As society began to wake up, the chaos-makers were enlisted again, using subterfuge to embed a new “racism maintenance program” into the backbone of a “Welfare System” designed to result in the multi-generational entrapment of entire black communities.
(4) But people pushed back again, so the chaos-makers came up with the extremely divisive ruse of “Affirmative Action,” a nicely coined phrase and system of ideas that justified, celebrated and lifted RACISM to new heights, as if racism could ever be the cure for racism?
(5) Again, people saw through the bullshit (forgive my non-French), so the chaos-makers of today have re-branded the racist Affirmative Action programs (reverse racism doesn’t really exist, imo - it’s all just racism) into — Critical Race Theory (designed for the children) and DEI Policies (designed for the adults).
None of this horrendous evil is new.
The elite, super-minority known as the “Wealth Class” has long enlisted “chaos-making” strategies to keep the impoverished workers of post-agricultural societies divided and at each others’ throats (thus powerless).
But I digress…
Thanks to these folks — and their “racism maintenance programs” — a position opened up at an English school across the planet in South Korea!
Here’s how it happened. A teacher quit unexpectedly, mid-contract. Why? Apparently, the teacher was a young black woman from America who believed the students were using the “N-word.” When she spoke to the Head of the Program, she was informed that the “offensive word” she kept hearing over and over again was actually 내가 (meaning, “I”).
The young black woman wanted the students to stop, because she was “triggered” by hearing the word, but the Head of the Program explained that she couldn’t reasonably ask students to stop using the word “I” while at the school.
The young black woman tried to endure it, but after a couple months, she quit her position as a teacher, because “she was being traumatized all day long.”
How terribly sad, to see the effectiveness of the chaos-makers, as they embed this level of emotional fragility, victim-hood and overall weakness into the grandchildren of the resilient men and women pictured below.
These men and women grew up during the Great Depression and were photographed while living their lives in 1950’s America.
They would never have quit their job for such a reason. Why?
NOT because they were weak, desperate, or accepting of racism.
NOT because they heard the real “N-word” less often.
NOT because they heard the real “N-word” more often.
NOT because they were “more, or less traumatized” by the racism of their time.
These men and women were strong! They believed in success in the face of trials and tribulations. Most of them went to church and believed in a greater power that would help them as they walked resolutely toward a better future.
They were focused on moving forward, overcoming adversity, achieving their goals “in spite of” true violence, true danger, true barriers to advancement and — true racism in the workplace.
These men and women were climbing out of the evils of chattel slavery and Jim Crow, and they didn’t need (or want) government sponsored “racism maintenance programs” to come along and pretend to rescue them.
They just wanted the freedom to prove their power, their strength, their capacity for achievement, and their absolute equality with non-black Americans.
I absolutely ADORE this movie, this story, these women and their life achievements!
And, that is anathema to the chaos-makers. To maintain racial discord in America forever, you can’t allow success stories to be seen for what they are (evidence of positive change and waning racism) — you must warp them until they fit your agenda.
(1) If you’re young, in college, and black — you’re not meant to perceive this movie as a celebration of success and achievement.
(2) If you’re young, in college, and white — you’re probably not allowed to talk about it at all. Not unless you check first to see what you’re supposed to think about it, and then, maybe you’re allowed to parrot the acceptable phrases, in a quiet voice, making sure you’re always open to being corrected by Black students.
Why can’t Hidden Figures be celebrated?
Because, the “racism maintenance program” thrives on the absolute belief that America has failed (and will continue to fail) to overcome racism.
Any and all “success stories’ must be immediately discounted or reduced to the paltry status of a “rare occurrence” serving to illustrate that “most Black Americans” still continue to suffer greatly under the “forever racism” — THAT IS AMERICA.
I’ve heard more and more college students, in just the past few weeks, saying things like, “America has no culture except stealing land and buying stuff.”
Something like this is mentioned in the movie, too. Reminding us that (and this will be another Substack) the “educational institutions” of the Western World are complicit in the “chaos-making” strategies of the current, global wealth class elites.
Let me finish with a thought for all of the young people who, when talking about Hidden Figures, will immediately say, “And we’re in the same boat! We haven’t escaped racism! Nothing’s changed!”
The women who lived these brilliant lives?
They recognize the changes.
They know the boat isn’t the same.
They, and other older Black Americans, can’t help but see that a new generation of black children are being misled, blinded to reality, and mentally enslaved by the chaos-makers of today.
Go see “Am I Racist?”
Bring your friends, family, and older children. This is a serious movie about a complicated issue, so I discourage taking young kids, unless you’ve got a great family habit of discussing such things thoroughly afterwards.
Together, let us strive to STOP the chaos-makers in their tracks.
Matt Walsh (and his production team) have given us a gift. Enjoy it. Share it. Think about it. And bring it up in conversation!
Bigotry (and all it’s derivatives) isn’t going away while humans exist, so we’ve got to deal with it. We can do that ourselves, or we can leave it in the hands of machiavellian chaos-makers serving the interests of the “forever wealth class elites” in their historically proven pursuit of societal domination.
I trust you, over them, any day.
NOTE: I am not bashing the kids who are unlucky enough to be “Born Rich.” They are as much a victim of “chaos-makers” as anyone else, right up until they inherit the keys to the kingdom and find themselves entrapped in a system that would kill them before it would let them rebel or escape.
Thank you for this fresh perspective and insight. My first reading of this resonated deeply as my own family’s experiences across five generations in America were in many respects mirrored in your reexamination of our collective history over and beyond the 20th century. Our family’s experiences were profoundly influenced by the Marxist overthrow and enslavement of our ancestral homeland; an act of chaos making to impose a new order of oppression and control in the name of western utilitarian Utopianism. South Korea is South (as opposed to North) for essentially the same reason.
My hope is to see you explore the question of what value systems the chaos makers are seeking to undermine and destroy. The reasons for their malevolence goes beyond mere wealth accumulation and naked power; they have had both for quite some time already and need not seed chaos in quite the manner they have been doing for well over a century. Indeed, they might have chosen an entirely different ethical path and maintained their privileged status BY BEING WORTHY OF IT AND ACTUALLY EARNING IT. There is a significant difference between true noblesse oblige and its false equivalent philanthropathy.
I suspect I will find further resonance in Hidden Figures as well although our particular inconvenient demographic hasn’t yet been celebrated in any similar way.
I look forward to your next Stack. May all that is good uphold and sustain you in your endeavors.
