Our New Anahuac

MSNBC Commentator Keith Olbermann speaks on racism present and past.  He even goes into the anthropological aspects for a second. 

Many people confuse my rants against “White Power” with me taking a position against all white people.  In fact, my measure for a human being are her soul and her deeds. 

It is true, as Olbermann suggests, that I do look at whites with some suspicion because of their inherent racial/cultural privilege, and because I believe that most are not willing to sacrifice their privilege for any moral good.

I do not excuse liberals who, were it for their impotence, would grant us equality of opportunity in a heartbeat. This classic liberal stance will not remedy the immense theft of cutural and economic wealth which has put our people at a disadvantage, and on an inherent uneven playing field. We do not wish to compete in race to build in which we are handed a hammer at the same time that our competitors have been out stealing power tools all night.

My test for a white person is whether or not they will consciously act toward giving our gente the ultimate rights that we deserve and that we are owed: self determination.  If a white person can respect and actively support our desire to have full authority of ourselves (equality of authority) then they are no longer deserving of the title gringo.

Full self determination, autonomy and sovereignty over our own lands (without political, military or economic intervention) shall complete the cycle of justice.  The Azteca concept of justice was equated with untwisting a twisted rope.  The last stage of such atonement is reparations.  Unfortunately, this country and the gringo populace in general has not even embarked on the first stage of atonement. Listen carefully to Keith Olbermann. Does he ever suggest that the solution to the problem of racism is granting people of color the rights to govern ourselves? Instead he defends the classic liberal position that we are all the same and should be colorblind, that integration is the answer and that the president is just as capitalistic as anyone else.

We don’t want colorblindness. We want land.
