Civil rights is dead. Black nationalism won.
That means constant racist tirades about "white supremacy" (by which they mean the existence of white people rather than the KKK), white privilege and the evils of "whiteness". It means Ta-Nehisi Coates being treated as an intellectual, rather than a crybullying bigot, a stream of revisionist history Black Nationalist TV projects like Guerrilla, followed by a straight Black Nationalist secessionist fantasy.
Titled Black America, the drama hails from top feature producer Will Packer (Ride Along, Think Like A Man franchises, Straight Outta Compton) and The Boondocks creator and Black Jesus co-creator Aaron McGruder.
It envisions an alternate history where newly freed African Americans have secured the Southern states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama post-Reconstruction as reparations for slavery, and with that land, the freedom to shape their own destiny. The sovereign nation they formed, New Colonia, has had a tumultuous and sometimes violent relationship with its looming “Big Neighbor,” both ally and foe, the United States. The past 150 years have been witness to military incursions, assassinations, regime change, coups, etc.
Today, after two decades of peace with the U.S. and unprecedented growth, an ascendant New Colonia joins the ranks of major industrialized nations on the world stage as America slides into rapid decline.
Of course it does. Because it's a Black Nationalist fantasy.
Black America creates the kind of utopia that has been on the minds of generations of black Americans for whom the series may have a sense of wish-fulfillment.
There's the typical dishonesty.
Secession is a Black Nationalist fantasy. It's an ideological position associated with a specific group. Rather than admit that, liberals continue mainstreaming and normalizing toxic ideologies while pretending that they aren't an ideology.
And this is how the left mainstreams ugly ideologies while denying what it's doing.
That involves “bringing on the appropriate historians to make sure we are telling the story in an accurate and responsible way,” Packer said, noting that historians have been brought in as consultants on the project, working with the producers.
I hear Louie Farrakhan is available.
