American Blacks – Melanoid Nation Foundation https://www.melanoidnation.org Thu, 10 Sep 2015 04:45:40 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Why Do Some Blacks Tolerate Suspected White Supremacists? https://www.melanoidnation.org/why-do-some-blacks-tolerate-suspected-white-supremacists/ https://www.melanoidnation.org/why-do-some-blacks-tolerate-suspected-white-supremacists/#comments Thu, 10 Sep 2015 04:38:23 +0000 http://melanoidnation.org/?p=2469 It appears that the Clintons have managed a way to finagle themselves into the collective hearts of Black Society yet again, this time with 2016 presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton putting on a Blackface-like performance while making a recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show

Clinton, like many other suspected white supremacists from the dominant society, have sought (and often succeeded) to gain favor with Black people to meet their various agendas. People such as Dog the Bounty Hunter, George W. Bush, and Paula Deen have all  committed acts of racism/white supremacy–be it political, verbal, or social–only to turn around and butter up to Melanoid people for our forgiveness and ultimately, our support of them.

Black people’s forgiveness and eventual support of suspected white supremacists can be directly connected to the provisions of the now-infamous Willie Lynch Letter . This mindset can also be attributed to the “Stockholm Syndrome”, which is a psychological condition that causes the oppressed to harbor affinity for their captors/oppressors. This trend of behavior is a stark contrast to members of other racial/social groups who have a zero-tolerance policy for people who offend their group(s). At this point, it’s a safe bet to realize that Donald Trump won’t be getting love from Latinos anytime soon, or that Nazi apologists will be able to fall in the good graces of Jewish Americans.

So, what is it that possesses us as Black people to give the green light to those who have historically violated us? Just ask yourself that question the next time a white republican politician randomly shows up at your church skinning and grinning for your vote…the BLACK vote.
