The Grammarian Challenged Negro-Con Speaks....But is he saying anything?

If there is any doubt about how the Negro-Con feel or to what extent he will go to defend his master, take a peek at the “Grammarian Challenged" as noted by Brother Noah, Jessie Petersons latest article. He is pissed that there are some rich Black folk who have not accepted white lies and are not grateful to white America because they understand they made it in spite of the road blocks. This Negro-Con wrote in his article about Will Smith concerning some comments Mr. Smith made;

"You cannot get much more hypocritical than that. Smith's evident contempt for America is baffling. He is apparently thankless for the opportunities America has given him to be free, work hard and succeed."


This is unbelievable… then he writes…

"Smith's contempt for white Americans is similarly shocking. Smith has white Americans to thank for his success. White Americans go to his films and buy his compact discs. And yet, Smith speaks of having "a constant feeling of unease."


Is this not an example of Peterson going against that B.S. espoused by Negro-Cons and their white counterparts about how hard work will pay off. Here we have Will Smith who has indeed worked hard to get where he is but have not lost sight of Black reality and where he came from and where many of his people still remain. Peterson wants Will Smith to kiss the back sides of white folk like he does and get on his knees and thank them for his success. However, when we accuse these Negro-Cons of being fully funded, supported and mouth pieces for white folk they balk at such an assertion. This piece by Peterson not only proves we are right but it also proves that the Negro-Cons know we are right. The truth is Peterson is the one who should be thankful to white folk, they took him and fixed him up and put words in his mouth that he have a hard time speaking but yet they still put him out there. If Peterson was speaking on behalf of Black people those same white folk that he think love him now would dismiss him as inarticulate and a borderline retard but yet they want us to take him serious.

Later in the Article Peterson rants about Denzel, who just so happened to be mentioned as a shinning example of Black love in Brother Noah’s most recent essay. Petersons says of Denzel complaints about immense difficulties of life in a racist society that he would love to have Washington’s difficulties, “starting with the multimillion-dollar paycheck”. You see, it is all about money for this Negro-Con, if he could make the money he is making as a mouth piece for white folk and could get the notoriety he has as a mouth piece for white folk by defending Black men and women he might come home.

His ending paragraph about being a victim and having a victim mentality reminds me of something written by Paul street over on Blackcommentator.com:

The harsh material and structural-racist reality of American society interacts with timeworn, victim-blaming ruling-class explanations of poverty to play an ugly game on the nation’s most truly disadvantaged. They are expected to magically leap beyond their social-historical circumstances – to exercise an inordinately high degree of sound personal responsibility just to keep their heads above water – while others are structurally empowered to “pass Go and collect $2 million” without such exercise, and indeed to deepen the well of black disadvantage.

Well...let us just take a look at the cause and effect contiuum that has evolved what is now current America. The Negro-cons want blacks to be thankful to whites and show or loyality to them and this nation, due to all that white folks have provided us.

Hmmmmm...I seem to have missed ceremony where whites were showing loyalalty and thanks to blacks and Natives Americans who suffered and lost so that the white huddled masses of Europeans, yearning to be free from tyrany, opression and crowded squalor, could have a new land of opportunity to escape to. All their Elis Island immigrant ancestors, plus those that came before them, directly and indirectly benefited from the enslavement of black people and the stealing of Native lands.

The sacrafices of black people and the Natives is what created the foundation for the creation of white wealth in America. Thus, Will Smith and Denzel Washington only have their ancestors and themselves credit as the cause of their current success...NOT WHITE FOLK.

Brother Nmaginate you are correct and I did not think of it as you hav noted;

"There is no way we (Black people) would stand for such Below The Curve Mediocrity. We place a high value in Oratorical Skills and Craftsmenship In Rhetoric because of our long and strong Oral Tradition. That alone would make him a peon when it comes to being a Voice for our people... And that's not even including having a substantive message that would speak to and an establish a following in our community."

This is true, and I think proves even more why he is doing what he is doing.
