Blacks can save the world

 

Blacks have gone through a lot, and have the power to save the world.  Blacks are essential to American democracy, global economic growth, and world peace.  Blacks can save America from racism and communism, which are polarizing American politics and could lead to another civil war.  Blacks can help the Nation recover from the upcoming recession. Blacks are key to deterring war and winning the apparently inevitable World War III.  Finally, blacks can teach humanity how to cope with life under artificial intelligence (AI).

America was founded on black labor.

Blacks are the bedrock of American democracy. Our Nation was founded on black labor.  Enjoying the fruits of free black labor, our founding fathers had the luxury of dreaming about freedom and equality.  By importing black slaves to do the hard work that whites did not want to do, colonial founders had spare time for the soft art of democracy.  Enjoying free black labor, European Americans envisioned a land of the free with justice for all.  

Of course, for European Americans of our colonial past, "all" meant white European men. These poor souls were coming to America escaping the rigid social class structure of the British monarchy and the European feudal system.  With blacks working for free, European Americans worked on freedom.  

Progress is unidirectional and spreads like a virus.  Once democracy proved highly productive and profitable, its concepts of freedom and equality were extended to women and non-white men.  It was not without fights and struggles for sure. Women were burnt as witches for many decades.  The American Civil War tells part of the story of how freedom spread, and the mob lynchings giving rise to the Civil Rights movements tell part of the story of how equality spread.  

Blacks can save American democracy by appeasing racists and communists alike.

Racism and communism are similar socio economic systems. The difference is the power denominator.  Racism assigns privilege based on the social construct of race while communism assigns privilege based on political party affiliation.

In the United States and around the world, racists are accumulating at the far right of the political spectrum while communists are aggregating at the far left of the spectrum. Blacks can move American and world politics to a productive center.  

Blacks can appease racists and communists by understanding their pain in a changing world.   

Racists are reacting to the envisioned or imagined pain of losing the privilege afforded by racism.  Racists long the pleasure of enjoying the racial power of the "superior race", ruling over "inferior races".  White rage is the manifestation of the pain suffered by some racists coping with a changing world with diverse and inclusive societies. 

Communists are reacting to the envisioned or imagined pain of either not having or losing control of society. Communists long the pleasure of having the authoritarian power to rule everyone and abuse dissidents if necessary. Putin's invasion of Ukraine, for example, is a manifestation of communist rage as he suffers the pain of not being able to stop the Western democratization of the slavic motherland of Russia, which is Ukraine.  

Blacks can become the swing vote.

Knowing where the far right and the far left are coming from, blacks can become the peace brokers in American politics.  the problems and differences between racists and communists in America.  This will require blacks to free themselves from the Democratic party to become independent voters.  Blacks can be that objective, centrist, voice telling it how it is in America where both racists and communists hide behind social issues under the fake premises of religious conservatism and atheist liberalism.

Blacks should become the experts in identifying racism and communism in American politics.  Blacks should remind America that we already fought a brutal civil war once, and that we don't want to go there again.  Activist black centrist (ABC) voters can become the next big thing in American politics shaping public policy not only in our Nation, but also worldwide.  

Blacks hold the keys to global economic power and world peace.
