Isaiah Jones vs. the Sea: A 21st Century Odyssey

“Kill All White People II*”    

 

 “I’m a nigga you’s a nigga,  

he’s a nigga, she’s a nigga,  

wouldn’t you like to be a nigga too?” 

 -NWA 

“It’s okay to hate white people.” Sascha grinned, you need to free yourself and acknowledge that truth. It doesn’t mean you hate me or your white mother or the white half of your own DNA. You hate the people who did this to you and your people, and that’s right and just. As long as you pretend, you are above feeling that hatred, you will never know who you truly are or what you are truly capable of.”   

“I have been watching you,” Sascha continued, his expression serious. “It is as if you have a blocked Chakra.”   

“Why are you telling me this?” Izzy asked, puzzled and yet intrigued.   

You know how in the movies the white hero has the kind old negro to come to them at just the right moment with just the right advise to help them succeed.   

Izzy laughed. You are my Mystical Negro?! He snickered.    

Sascha shrugged. “Ah nope, I am more like your Magical Caucasoid Fairy-God Daddy. And I am telling you these things because you need to know the truth. The people who claim to be your allies here, secretly hope you fail. They are content to continue to benefit from the inequities of the status quo. They are country club liberal Dino’s (Democrats In Name Only, just like my parents. That is why nothing ever changes even when they are in power. They both receive funding from the same corporate doners.  

My full name he announced snapping suddenly to attention ridiculously ridged, chin up head held high and proud is Sascha Heinz Weinberger, he said exaggerating his German accent, my parents are originally from Argentina. I won’t bother telling you what our real German name was, but great-great-grandma was an infamous Nazi propagandist. “Boys from Brazil will be Boys from Brazil after all. You do not need people like my parents and their friends; they are useless, merely paper allies. In real life, they might as well wear white hoods and robes.   

They believe that they are good people because they do not say ‘nigger’ in public or mixed company, but you are all a bunch of hard ‘R’ ‘niggers’ to them while the Mexican housekeeper is in earshot. When she leaves, they are ‘thieving wetbacks.’ And do not even get them started on the goddamn Jews. They do not care about you or equal rights; they do not care about your civil rights. They just do not want to hear about it.” They wish only for you to continue to suffer in silence so that they can carry on doing nothing.

This country ticked of most of the 14 signs of fascism long before they elected the orange nazi. The truth is if white america were good people, we would not follow electing the first black president by electing the first nazi president. That illusion of specialness the need for self-delusion runs deep in this nation.  

“You are not allowed to express rage at your enemy; even in your art, you turn your hatred on yourselves in your art; that is the great tragedy of gangster rap your Enemy tricked you into using your righteous hatred of them against your own selves. It is Machiavellian.” Sascha said. “Think about it: white people can imagine worlds where the South won the Civil War, or the Nazis won the Second World War, —tons of books and movies that are essentially white people fantasizing about slavery and genocide under the guise of entertainment.  

But you know what they do not make movies and books about? The lie of omission rather than the lie direct, black, brown, red and yellow skinned heroes who rose up and kicked the colonialist out of Africa, Asia, India, Middle East. The cowboy movie is an entire genre of cinema dedicated to the genocide of the indigenous peoples of the americas.

They never show black, brown, red, or yellow heroes valiantly slaughtering the white invader protecting his lands and peoples and protecting his women and his freedom. They create a rage monster at Marvel, but he’s a white guy that turns green or red. But never black, but if I was Black, you bet your ass I would be the fucking Hulk 24/7. Why can’t the righteous man fueled by justified rage and anger be black? That is too scary to even contemplate for a white guy.”   

“Art is mind control,” Sascha continued, “media in all forms is mind control. The churches figured this out eons ago; the message of the art, even if unknown to the creator, permeates the mind and reality of the consumer of said media. Play and entertainment reinforce the cultural narrative.   

Anyone who believes you can say and do anything and it’s just playing or just entertainment is a fucking moron. I have scientific proof using the work of real scientist called neurologist along with psychiatrist the fictional world and your real world occupy the same space in your conciseness that us why it is important that you be careful about and hyper critical of what you let into your mind.

When you cannot even conceive of a world without whites dominating you. I do not need weapons. In 1610 my people declared war on your people and my people have never stopped fighting that war. The first thing they do in a war is take over the media—to control the narrative.  Research Leopold in the Congo, makes Hitler look like choir boy. But the victims were black so we have no museums and the west still wants the nations resources for themselves. When they say “never again”, they just mean white people.  

The very fiction of black hero using violence is an unimaginable horror—to be subjected to the same treatment that colonialists and European white supremacists have done to people of color for the last 400 years is so terrifying that they dare not even imagine it as fiction. And you cannot either. Not until you learn to do what white people do: use that hate. Until you do, I am more of a radical black revolutionary than you.  

Are you trying to start a fight? because I am about to kick your ass!  

That is only because you know it is true; if you were the real thing that sentence would have caused laughter rather than anger. Until you learn how to use your hate you will never be as black as me.  

You’re not black at all.  

Now you are feeling me, Sascha grinned mischievously.  

My parents’ occupation are the two most insipid professions on earth father is a broker and dear mother is a real-estate agent. I came out by hacking into the wall street exchange severs and downloading a video of me gobbling the biggest blackest gayest cock you have ever seen. Posted it on every screen in the building during their peak hours.

Sascha shrugged of course the sweet liberal bastions of compassion immediately asked themselves what would Jesus do. Then kicked me out of the house and disinherited me. I have been on my own since I was 18 years old. I am 27 in case you are interested. Sascha laughed. I started with nothing, sold my soul to the devils’ algorithms at the Googles maps crossroads and made myself internet famous. I only earn a few 100k in a good year, but I make my own hours, and I am my own boss. This place belongs to my family, my mother makes sure I have access to all of their properties. She is still a racist cunt just not as big of a cunt as my father.  

Izzy laughed. I gotta’ admit that was mad niggerish. You are invited to the barbeque.  

I am honored sir, and when you level up and become a real nigga like me, I will be sure to remember to invite you to the barbeque.  

“Touché nigga. Izzy laughed. Touché.”  

You do not have to use guns and bombs to conduct a war. Sascha confided; and you are at war with the forces of darkness my friend and in order to defeat them you must understand and be able to embrace that same darkness within you own soul. Hate to be the one to burst the bubble for ya’ but King was wrong.

No one in the entire history of mankind has ever achieved justice through peaceful means. With out the guillotine and the threat of execution the French like all royals behaved like all-powerful tyrants. Until King John had a blade at his neck, the Magna Carta was never going to be signed. With out the threat of Malcom X, Martin has no power.

You must find the real nigga buried deep inside. Way down in the greatest depths is a place inside of you that you are afraid to look at. You have to look into that window of your blackest, darkest self and set your ultimate nigga free; unleash your inner nigga—your super nigga. When you do, you will be whole, and then you will be unstoppable. You must learn to feed it, to feel it. Dream the blackest, rage-fueled hate storm hidden beneath the surface, waiting to erupt like a volcano, a force of pure destruction. You must take hold, know it, and embrace it without fear; then you will be whole. Without balance, without knowing the truth of your own soul, you will be forever lost.”   

 Isaiah laughed. “What are you, my life coach now?”   

 “”Sorry, Buckaroo, I’m not a life coach. I am nobody’s savior—just a very well compensated friend of a friend who has seen some shit that you have not. Naomi’s been worried about you too. I am here to see to it that you sort yourself out in time to make the rendezvous.” Sascha laughed, and I’m giving you a heads-up, genius. “Keep your eyes open for the signs. Be ready. When it comes, don’t be afraid; it will set you free. 

If any other living organism on the planet behaved in the same manner white people we would call them an invasive species. White people call them pilgrims, settlers, and colonist; while you call them your honor, officer, boss. The truth is every white person on earth knows one thing: that if it were the other way around, they would hate us too—and rightfully so.” The laws of your physics apply to power and politics as well; the only thing power yields to is a greater power. Sascha looked at Isaiah with a wink, “A wiser man than me once said, ‘The only thing the white man fears is justice.’” 

Sascha Heinz Weinberger danced on point, twirling in the sand at sunrise, serenading Isaiah.  

“I’m a Nigga, he’s a Nigga, 

she’s a Nigga, we’re a Nigga.  

Wouldn’t you like to be a Nigga, too?”

[Notes 1.] [Dr. Jens Foell tweeted “As we say in Germany, if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.”]  

[Umberto Eco: A Practical List for Identifying Fascists 

Fascism is present even in the most progressive democracies; some points for identifying its component parts. 

The word “Fascist” is used with great ease and lightness in our own time. It’s applied as a kind of “cult insult.” Someone or something is Fascist when trying to impose arbitrary laws or rules on others. In recent history, Fascism was a mystical ideology and political movement, one founded by Benito Mussolini in Italy during the period between the two world wars. By extension, the word has been used to refer to Nazism and other totalitarian movements. What do contemporary “Fascisms” have in common with the historical ones? 

The question was taken up by the recently deceased Italian novelist and semiotician, Umberto Eco, who plunged into the word “Fascist” to clarify some of its implications. Eco distinguished this, for example, from Hitler’s Nazism, although he conceded that the “fascist game can be played in many ways, and the name of the game doesn’t change.” 

In an essay published in the New York Review of Books, Eco distilled the 14 typical elements of “Ur-Fascism or Eternal Fascism,” while warning that, “These features cannot be organized into a system; many of them contradict each other and are also typical of other kinds of despotism or fanaticism. But it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it.” 

The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.” 

The rejection of modernism. “The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense, Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.” 

The cult of action for action’s sale. “Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation.” 

Disagreement is treason. “The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism. In modern culture, the scientific community praises disagreement as a way to improve knowledge.” 

Fear of difference. “The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.” 

Appeal to social frustration. “[…] one of the most typical features of the historical fascism was the appeal to a frustrated middle class, a class suffering from an economic crisis or feelings of political humiliation, and frightened by the pressure of lower social groups. 

The obsession with a plot. “The followers must feel besieged. The easiest way to solve the plot is the appeal to xenophobia.” 

The enemy is both weak and strong. “[…] the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.” 

Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. “For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle.” 

Contempt for the weak. “Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology.” 

Everybody is educated to become a hero. “in Ur-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death.” 

Machismo and Weaponry. “This is the origin of machismo (which implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality). Since even sex is a difficult game to play, the Ur-Fascist hero tends to play with weapons—doing so becomes an ersatz phallic exercise.” 

Selective Populism. “There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People. 

Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak. “All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning.” 

In reviewing these points, it’s difficult not to think of current “television dictators,” in which politicians exercise a selective populism instigated by xenophobia, and in which the same political class is chosen from an elite of charismatic and photogenic people. This is presented without any preparation in critical thinking nor in the art of governance. Fortunately, the rise of any new form of totalitarian power has always arrived accompanied by renewed forms of resistance, and in which difference and collaboration predominate (in place of indifference and collaboration-ism). We hope there’s time to learn from the past so as not to repeat its mistakes in the future.] 

[A parody of what the band imagined the subtext of the black power movement to be. Directly references 1960s lingo twice at the end. 

It’s one of the few times that Type O Negative’s mockery of republican ideology comes through. The group didn’t politically label themselves under a political affiliation. They used this track to dispel rumours of being neo- nazi’s which came in tracks like “Der Untermencsh,” in which they insult welfare recipients. 

[“Kill all the white people 
Kill all the white people 
Then we’ll be free 
We’ll be free 
 
Kill all the white people 
(Kill all the white people) 
Kill all the white people 
(Kill all the white people) 
Then we’ll be free (We’ll be free) 
We’ll be free (Oh)

Ah 
Kill them all, man 
Kill them all 
 
(1, 2, 3, 4) 
(1, 2, 3, 4) 
(1, 2, 3, 4) 
 
Oh, ah 
Oh, ah 
 
Then we’ll be free (Then we’ll be free) 
Then we’ll be free (Then we’ll be free) 
Then we’ll be free (Then we’ll be free) 
We’ll be free (¡We’ll be free!) (Oh)

Destroy white boy

[“The thing everyone is dancing around saying is that Peter Steele was a racist. His previous group, thrash metal band “Carnivore” had songs titled “Race War Now” and “Male Supremacy” 

[“Kill All White People” is a thinly veiled racist message, mocking the civil rights movement as well as black people.”]
