Okay, I’m not one to belittle or downplay the loss of human life. ALL senseless acts of violence are wrong and cannot be condoned. To harm innocents is atrocious. That being said, we as Afrikans need to understand one thing before we go back to your usual fractious bullshit fights about changing FB filters and sending up prayers for the deceased. If that’s what you choose to do, carry on. If you choose to refrain, carry on as well. What both sides seem to misunderstand is that there is a bigger picture that only a very small portion of us seem to get. That bigger picture is that although Paris is a big deal and a HUGE deal for those who lost friends or loved ones in the attack, it is vanishingly small in the larger scheme of things. I’m not a conspiracy/coincidence theorist. I’ve often said and will say often in the future that correlation does not equal causation. Just because something happens in a certain way does not mean that an outside event necessarily caused that event. I don’t believe that this is a false flag operation that is supposed to usher in the final battle for world supremacy. I also don’t believe that this is some major push by ISIS as revenge for losses in the Middle East.

My perception (MY PERCEPTION, emphasis on the word MY) is that you cannot fully understand the what’s and why’s of Paris without understanding this struggle in historical terms. I’ll save you guys the history lesson and tell you to go do your own research, but understand one UNASSAILABLE fact. THERE IS NO “FAIR” IN WAR. (1)

Make no mistake about it, this is a war. It is a war between countries with trillion dollar militaries and groups with sticks and stones. Get out of the thinking that war is about putting your force on this one side and the other force on the other side and we meet in the middle. That shit ain’t been done since WWII. Even the Vietnam War was guerilla based warfare. This is the era of “hit you wherever you can be hit.” I see so many of our sisters and brothers with the French filter on your SM presence calling the acts cowardly and indefensible, to which I agree. I, however, go further and call cowardly and indefensible the THOUSANDS of lives taken by Western countries when they indiscriminately bomb buildings ostensibly to kill one “terrorist.” We cannot seriously point to violence meted out by ISIS without pointing to the violence produced by Western countries. (2)

Let us now talk about France. We have this historical blind spot when it comes to history. There are those that think that slave masters only spoke English and that they only came from England. As if France was not just as heavily involved in our subjugation. For those who will hit me with the “that was long ago” bullshit, the French are not this group of fun loving, wine drinking, love making folks just trying to live their lives. How many of us know that the lifestyles of French citizens are supported by the sweat and blood and lives of OUR brothers and sisters. Ask someone from Haiti how they feel about the French. So I can unequivocally say FUCK FRANCE without saying fuck the individual French citizen. (3)

Do not let the media convince you that this is a conflict between the good guys (largely white AmerEuro Nations) and the bad guys (any nation not AmerEuro). This is not a conflict between “civilization” and “barbarism,” nor is it a conflict between Christianity and Islam. This instead is a war began by the elitist Oligarchy that funds both sides to keep the masses distracted while they destroy this planet because of greed. Where do you think ISIS gets their brand new Toyota trucks you see in their videos? (Stolen, yeah right) Where do you think they get munitions? (making it, in Iraq/Syria, yeah right) Someone is funding them and don’t be surprised to find out that they are the same folks that are fighting them. (e.g. Western support for Al-Queda affiliated rebels in Syria that I lay directly at the feet of the brother in the White House)

We also must not overlook the double standard in play. When dozens of us were killed in Kenya, where were the filters then? Two days before Paris, a suicide bomber blew himself up in Beirut and killed 43 people and injured hundreds. (4) Where were your filters? Yet you call yourself conscious. You rail against media manipulation but you see how smoothly the media manipulated YOU, Hoteps, RBGs, Greeks, and other so called pro-blacks into confirming that white life does indeed matter more. I don’t condemn you brothers and sisters, this is out of love. Look at yourself in the mirror and check your allegiance. You either about this life and by “this life” I mean US, or you’re not. Not to say that in order to love US you have to hate THEM, not at all. But until you give a fuck about us as much as you give a fuck about them, miss me with the fake ass militancy.
