The most important fact that some black scholars overlook is the role racism-white supremacy plays in their everyday thinking, decision making and basic terminology. You see, you must have a clear OVER- STANDING of what it means to be classified as non-white. Because that is exactly how the world functions. The very dictionary (Webster was a racist by the way), history books, bibles, maps, etc., were written and maintained by white supremacists. The definitions you use are white definitions. No matter what name you call yourself you are still by default-non-white therefore the negative reference will exist. As long as the current power dynamic and lack of justice exists worldwide, your view will be blurred.
Contrary to what the Conell West, Tavis Smiley type blacks who say classism is the issue and not race, a red herring white supremacists give Negroes to chase. Europeans constantly worry about their existence on this planet. Class has nothing to do with white fears of extinction. Their minority status out trumps anything else. Use common sense. The richest most powerful CLASS of people are taken down or destroyed everyday by white supremacists:
Idi Amin..Noreaga...Sadaam....Gaddafi...MJ...OJ...Tiger Woods.... Arafat; were all financially upper class. And the very rich former President Obama was constantly disrespected on the senate floor while being one of them and a wall street guy to boot. Meanwhile, Strauss-Kahn is free to rape black women and white trash Casey Anthony is free to murder as she pleases. White Supremacy is still the issue.
