My eyes were opened when I saw a very close friend, a female African-American, descend into an obsession with this virulent racial mythology soon after Obama was elected. She had been a corporate manager at a major pharmaceutical firm, but after she started buying into this and wearing it on her sleeve, they went looking for ways to fire her without getting sued for discrimination. I don’t know where she ended up because I couldn’t even talk to her anymore, because she kept challenging me (as a white guy) with this crazy black nationalist dogma she was embracing.
That’s when I started doing internet research on some of the nutty beliefs she was buying into, and found a whole underground community of militant black nationalists, with their own racial mythology, values, morality and codewords. Then I started to notice the similarities and overlaps with some of the policies & positions of the current administration. That’s when I realized the Obamas and their closest advisors are probably black nationalists, cut from the original cloth.
Like I said, it was a real eye-opener!
I believe a lot of this comes from Holder, he’s been a black nationalist all the way back to his days at Columbia and the BSO’s occupation of college property.
