Ismael Hernandez Rob Parker of ESPN recently said that Robert Griffin III (a.k.a., RGIII) is not “one of us.” He is not black enough because he has a white fiancee, graduated with honors and early, and he is “suspected” of being a Republican. Have mercy! He is right, racialist Parker is right. After all, that is the way the left defines blackness. Blackness means ideological conformity and the losing of one’s individual identity into a sea of meaningless racial categorization. If you think of it, these racialialists and their intellectual leaders are the new gnostics. The gnostics were the "enlightened ones" who thought they had a knowledge not accessible to others. They preached a dualism where true self was identified with consciousness, not with the body. The body was a prison. The new racialist gnostics say the same: a true black person refers to a consciousness that identifies with a very specific ideological position. That consciousness happens to inhabit a non-personal body that may or may not be black. A black body is accidental and if not aligned with their politics, a prison. Dualism inflicts a wound in the heart of blacks by victimizing them as much as racism did in the past. In the past, masters pretended to control the mental, emotional and physical life of slaves by force. They saw a black body and imposed on it an oppressive punishment. It was indeed due to our physicality that oppression was offered. Now, racialists see a black body and immediately assume that such being has to believe X and Y. If he does not, they have no problem in hurting, shaming and attacking that person, that black body. They forget about that body and concentrate on the ideas held by a person. This new boundary, as in the past, fails to recognize the wholeness that is there, body and consciousness, united in one being. Now the imposition is as injurious, as it deprives the individual person, made in God’s very image, of the right to be oneself, to think as his conscience dictates. The new masters think that group-think is necessary to be a member of the group, that isolated category is used to oppress as much as the isolated category of a black skin was used in the past. It comes to be that the black left has long forgotten cousins, white racists and slave owners! However, thank God that the buffoonery that dualism is is just that, nonsense. And thank God many of us could care less about what these self-proclaimed gatekeepers say! Friend us here: https://facebook/ismael.hernandez.52035
