Parable of the Black Bourgeoisie
The economic and political dependence of this African neo-colonialbourgeoisie is reflected in its culture of apenmanship and parrotryenforced on a restive population through police boots, barbed wire, agowned clergy and judiciary; their ideas are spread by a corpus of stateintellectuals, the academic and journalistic laureates of theneo-colonial establishment.
--Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Decolonizing the Mind
The black bourgeoisie is a class of very sick people who go about theirdaily round pretending all is well. They have a gang of police who donot carry guns but are yet dangerous because they use masking tape togag and silence the mouths of any and all who dare defy their sick valuesystem of addiction to white supremacy that is full blown.
The culture police will silence or simply ignore those who refuse tospeak the language of the black bourgeoisie, a language taught to themin the neo-colonial schools, churches, mosques and workplaces.
This class of trained monkeys includes artists, teachers, preachers,politicians and media parrots who make sure those who defy the culturepolice are punished by silence or ignored by non-invitation to theirworld of make believe.
They are not interviewed in the media, or invited to speak or teach atschools, colleges and universities, unless at their own expense. Theymay sometimes be invited and paid, but the culture police make sure nostudents are there to hear them, so they speak in an empty auditorium,even though they are paid handsomely. The black bourgeoisie don't carehow much they are paid, just don't let students hear what they have tosay. The culture police will actually speak after they speak and admitthey have nothing to say, that they are rambling on to neutralize theatmosphere, to negate any raw truth that may have been said.
The black bourgeoisie culture police place those who defy them on housearrest, similar to the woman in Burma, for those who resist are notallowed to work, unless they agree to sing Silent Night, the nationalanthem.
One cannot say the A word, B word, C word, D word, E word or F word. Inshort, one must shut up and go along with the "King's English," ofcourse the King was a pervert, oppressor, exploiter, robber and rapist,so who in their right mind would want to speak the "King's English"?
Rather than teach the masses in their own language, the "Mother tongue,"how to behave, how to stop beating their partners, how to lovethemselves, the black bourgeoisie would rather the common people beat,maim, and kill their mates. Even when the masses or common people fightand steal the literature in their "Mother-tongue," the black bourgeoisiedon't care, for they cannot allow them to speak in their language, theymust be stopped by any means necessary.
And yet, the "King's English" and the language of the black bourgeoisieis filled with lies, duplicity and contradictions. Their language hidestruth, especially of their sick, pitiful lives, terror in theirmansions, in bed, hours of drunkenness and drug abuse, lechery anddepravity, the golden handcuffs, incest, adultery, prostitution ,emotional and verbal abuse--yes, in their moment of passion the blackbourgeoisie actually use so-called foul language, yes, the very languagethey despise and condemn in the common people and those who speak orwrite in such language.
And still they walk with an air of superiority. They cannot speak orgreet you on the street. There are perpetually in a rush or in a hurrygoing nowhere but to some din of iniquity where they wink and blink toincrease their inordinancy and conspicuous consumption.
Their pseudo puritan language covers a multitude of sins and wickedness.Smiling faces belie the terror of their lives, for are they notsycophants of the worse kind, ass kissers in short, for some boss, somehigh class pimp in a suite, far above the street.
And yet, the black bourgeoisie are only one paycheck away from thestreet people who drink rot gut wine and push shopping carts, but atleast they love each other with a love that is true and real!
Baraka said, "Where the soul's print should be there is only a cellulosepouch of disgusting habits." They suffer negritis, an inflammation ofthe negroid gland at the base of the brain, caused by negrocities or badhabits!
The black bourgeoisie were told long ago by E. Franklin Frazier abouttheir world of make believe and conspicuous consumption. Nothing haschanged, except there is more of the same.

I know of no radical black institutions, schools, colleges and/or universities. In the main, the black colleges produce negroes. In many instances the conscious independent schools produce negroes. The Muslim schools produce negroes. Is this the best we can do? Perhaps, it shall be as it is, a long process to get a product beyond the negroid personality. As my two-year old grandson said to me, "Grandpa you can't save the world. I'm gonna save the world."
No matter what class, creed or color, marriages are fragile at best. Even conscious brothers and sisters have a residue of white supremacy when they claim to have recovered from the addiction to white supremacy. Freedom is not a personal thing, so how can you be free if I ain't free?
As per long standing marriages, I wouldn't pay two cents for some of them after observing the behavior and treatment of some people I know who've been married forty and fifty years. If that's love, I don't want it!
And yet, it's all about family, since slavery was the destruction of family, freedom must be the reconstruction of family. In light of the circumstances, it's a miracle any of us stay together for five minutes. And it is indeed a shame to see conscious people mated with unconscious people. I've been blessed to have conscious women in my life--even if they must stay three thousand miles away from me! One of my rich friends begged me to stop getting those "educated" sisters, get you one like I have: ignorant and mentally ill!
Many of us do have conscious children that are two and three generations from negrocities, especially with the grand children. We do have children following our footsteps, whether they want to admit it or not, for some of our children have seen contradictions in conscious people and we have plenty, just as the bourgeoisie--no one is pure up in here, not one. Didn't God say find me one righteous man and I will save the whole town?
We will not be able to do anything together until we have detoxed our addiction to white supremacy--no organizations will be successful so long as we maintain stinking thinking and acting. In our present state of mind, we can't go around the corner together. What happened to the million men who marched? Obviously there were problems on some level, leaderships or followship. Until we process the little white man running around inside of us, who sometimes sits on our shoulder as we meet together with our family, our mates, our co-workers, our revolutionary comrades, our conscious brothers and sisters, there shall be no forward movement.
We do have conscious people doing things--and no one needs to know all that is going on. Do you ever hear of a million Chinese meeting, yet there are banks on every block in Chinatown.
At my Academy of Da Corner, we do indeed have people with various degrees in science, math, agriculture and other fields who give up knowledge for free.
As per the box mentality, a woman friend of mine (RIP) said, "You can jump out the box, just like Jack, so jump!"
Dr. Clarke said this is not a sprint but a long distance jog. Try two or three hundred years more. So love the one ya wit and be thankful fa what ya got. If you don't have a mate, try loving yourself and see if someone won't want to love you!

And if we are preaching to the choir, why don't we spread this information to those who don't know everything already since the world is full of ignorant and uninformed people.

To be "bourgeosie" is to be "marked by a concern for material interests and respectability and a tendency toward mediocrity". Is that not what the Sister Ayahna Ahmen seems to be concerned about when she asks Dr. M "Where are the institutions, schools, temples,communities built and sustained by the 'conscious black community'?"
To be sure, Sister Ayahna must know that these institutions exist and have existed here in Amerikkka since the Black American experience began so she must not think very highly of these institutions to treat them as though they do not exist when they obviously do, and this begs the question.
Is her lack of respect for all that the many Blacks are and have been building marked by her concern for acceptance from those who she does respect and if so who are these people? Is it that, by the very nature of the existence of such institutions within but without white Amerikka's acceptance, they do not serve the material interests of her benefactors?
Notice the half quote marks she uses around the word conscious when she uses the words conscious and black together. It is as though she mocks the fact that there is consciousness among Black people, and maybe that's the black people she knows, but we often see these Cultural Nationalist "Brothers" and "Sisters" who wear kinte cloth and dashikis and Egyptian names holding their noses and frowning down upon the "rest of the conscious people."
Marvin points out "We do have conscious people doing things--and no one needs to know all that's going on." But the kind of showy doing of things that a lot of so-called conscious people want to do or to see is just that -- loud and showy, signifying nothing. We can have a million more Million Men Marches, but as Marvin points out eloquently "Do you ever hear of a million Chinese meeting, yet there are banks on every corner in Chinatown."
I suspect that Ayahna's bitterness is mostly rooted in her inability to find a 'conscious brother willing to accept a dark skinned nappy headed intelligent sister' to be her co-partner in life' and that's the real cause and struggle she's conflicted with. Perhaps some of these sisters should be less concerned with material interests when it comes to their selection of life partners or find themselves and their own respectability when they can't find a mate of their high standards. What goes for a bourgeoisie attitude among a lot of sisters is really just an attempt to compensate for their own mediocrity.

Sister Ahyana used the classical dodge on me. Although I answered her question,her question had nothing to do with my original Parable of the Black Bourgeoisie. She came up with a new subject altogether The Black Conscious people rather than deal with the subject of the black bourgeoisie, apparently she must be one of them and sought to avoid the issue at hand by posing another.
