Vivek Ramaswami: The Perils Of 'Race Neutrality'

Vivek Ramaswami: The Perils of 'Race Neutrality'

Vivek Ramaswami's interview w/ Ann Coulter killed many birds w/ One Stone. Her blatant Racism & his acceptance of it spoke Volumes. Vivek has been pushing an Anti- Black Narrative for several years; I have personally said that he WILL become a victim of the Institutionalized Racism that he marginalized & dismissed. Ann Coulter is NO DUMMY! She tested his 'Race Neutral' stance from the start of the Interview. When she told him Point Blank that she agrees w/ him on many issues, but won't vote for him because he's 'Indian', Vivek didn't blink. He later commented that he 'respected her Courage to speak honestly'(???). THIS is what separates Black Americans from 'Brownfolk', & why ANY Black & Brown Coalition is just a pipe dream.

I have said a few times that Black Immigrants & Brownfolk don't have the same experience as Black Americans. We have an American Experience of Institutionalized Systemic Racism that has endured for Centuries. From the American Constitution, to Local Law, legislation has been put in place w/ the intent of marginalizing Black America as a Collective. For example: Property Taxes are lower & Insurance Rates are higher in Black Communities, compared to similar situations (same Property Lot size, same Vehicle) in Non Black Communities. This is by legislative design. 'People Of Color' don't share that experience. Like Irish, Italian, & Eastern European Immigrants, these Folks experienced a Period of 'Social Hazing' by the Mainstream, but are eventually included into American Society. They know Discrimination & Prejudicial Bias, but few experience the level of Systemic Racism that Black America faces daily.

Vivek Ramaswami's Case is worth noting. He's a 2nd generation American- a child of Brahmin Parents; both w/ Post Graduate Degrees (like Nimrata 'Nikki' Haley & Kamala Harris). He was born & raised in Ohio, attended Private School, & was able to amass Hundreds of Millions of Dollars at QVT Financial (managing their Biotech Division). By all accounts, Vivek is living The American Dream. His brief Public School Experience in Cincinnati has obviously affected his view of Black Americans. He has gone out of his way to slander the Black American Experience; marginalizing Our History & Our Struggle, but his Family arrived in the 1980s. He positioned himself in Conservative Politics & rose to prominence spewing Anti- Black rhetoric. Conservative News Media Outlets gave him a wave to ride, but he Wiped Out in the Iowa Primary.

Despite visiting all 99 Counties, Ramaswami received a meager Return on his Investment. Iowans liked his talking points, but weren't comfortable w/ his Religion (Hinduism) or his 'Brown Skin'. The conversations that his Wife had w/ Iowan Voters were cringe worthy! Many looked her in the eye & stated their mistrust of his 'dark complexion' & questionable Christian Values; this despite Vivek touting his Jesuit Education non-stop on the Campaign Trail. Black Americans (other than Sen. Tim Scott) would've been insulted, but Vivek & his Wife apparently took it on the chin. He dropped out of the Race after Iowa, & predictably kissed the ring of Donald Trump. Throughout his Presidential Bid, Vivek Ramaswami sounded like he was auditioning for the Office of Vice President more than President.

Donald Trump recently had an Event at Mar A Lago that Media is calling a 'Vice Presidential Sweepstakes'. Ramaswami was among those being considered. It appears that his interview w/ Ann Coulter was an effort to beef up his Social Capital among MAGA Republicans, but Coulter deflated his Trial Balloon before he could reach a proper threshold. I personally find it comical. Vivek got so wrapped up in his perceived White Privilege, that he didn't realize what he REALLY had was Anti- Black Privilege. He thought that his wealth put him in the Ballpark, but didn't realize that most Americans don't know much about Hedge Funds or Biotech. Vivek literally flew beneath the radar, but his glaringly Non- White features overshadowed his rhetoric.

Like most 'People Of Color', Vivek Ramaswami failed to understand that AmeriKKKa sees him & his demographic as nothing more than a 'Buffer Group'. Their arrogance & smugness towards Us, blinds them to the fact that they are tools of Benign Neglect Policies; set up solely for the purpose of marginalizing Black American efforts to exercise a Right of Expression... Middle Class & Poor Whitefolk are becoming aware of just how much money this demographic earns; i'm anticipating a pushback at some point. AmeriKKKa IS NOT a Democracy, it's a White Supremacist Capitalist Republic. In This Land, The Wealthy Rule & Wealthy Whitefolk (i e. WASPS) are at the top of the Totem Pole... To date, the average Asian American Family earns more than the average White American Family. Black America knows FULL WELL what happens when Whitefolk begin to think that a Non- White Population may B outperforming them. For their own sake, Latinx & Black Immigrants should pay close attention.

When We factor in the Sabre Rattling between The U.S. & China over Commerce & Taiwan, plus rising tension between The U.S. & Hindustan/ Bharat over alleged Election Tampering, there may B some blow back on Asian Americans; especially during a Time of Economical Uncertainty- think Japanese Americans during WW2... Chattel Slavery has provided Black Americans w/ a unique perspective that Immigrants don't have. Whitefolk regarded Us as Sub Human (3/5ths of Humanity), so they weren't discrete about their actions around Us. This gives Us an intimate understanding of HOW AmeriKKKa moves. We warned these 'People of Color' about the folly of Race Neutrality, as We warned Poor Whitefolk about the folly of choosing White Privilege over Progressive Politics 135Yrs ago (i.e. The Populist Movement). NO ONE took heed to Our Prophecy- that American Capitalism WILL come for them, once We're neutralized. As always, it's Profit over People.

America is in BIG TROUBLE. On top of a Dysfunctional Congress, a possible War w/ Russia, & an Illegal Immigrant Problem, We're being asked 2 choose between Donald 'Pee Pee Tape' Trump & Joe 'Dookie Drawers' Biden 4 POTUS... Conspiracy Theories predicting an eventual Gavin Newsome Presidency don't sound so far-fetched.

-We deserve Better!

Watching Tim Scott on Meet The Press was simply EMBARRASSING! I can't help but ask: Does this man have ANY Testicular Fortitude?! I haven't heard ANYTHING from him regarding the conditions of Black South Carolinians, but I KNOW his view on Campus Protests & Israel's Right 2 commit Genocide.

-What a Simp!

According 2 Stephen Gardner, the # of Illegal Immigrants entering The Country in 2023 outnumbered the American Birth rate... Is it Safe 2 say We're witnessing an Invasion yet?

-Just Asking

A quick thought about The Democratic Party

The Democratic Party's blatant lack of regard for Black Americans & BLACK SPECIFIC ISSUES is reaching new heights. 100,000 Michigan Voters voted Uncommitted in the Primary. It's estimated that 9,000 came from Dearborn, but Governor Gretchen Wihitmer, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, & Michael Moore ALL went out of their way to avoid talking about Detroit, Flint, & Lansing. How many of those 91,000 votes came from there? Mainstream Media is trying to shift the voter apathy narrative to Gaza, but Arab Americans IN TOTAL only make up 1% of the population. Young Adults don't traditionally vote in Primaries (in large #s), so WHO is responsible for this phenomenon?

Following the Primary, Kamala Harris visited Selma, AL & walked across the Edmond Pettus Bridge. This was supposed to be a TRIBUTE to the Blackfolk that were beaten bloody 59Yrs ago (Bloody Sunday), but Kamala Harris spent her time talking (emphatically) about Gaza- It's Mother Emmanuel Church all over again. The Black Church enjoys a 501c3 Tax Exempt status, in return for NOT getting involved in Politics. In Reality, Black Churches are being used for a Democratic Agenda that addresses EVERYONE but their Black parishioners... When are We supposed to say that We're insulted by the callous disrespect on Both Sides?

Joe Biden 'Powered Up' to give what could be his last State Of The Union Address. In it, he made several overtures to Women. He makes his Case for Ukraine, Immigration Reform, & Aid to Gaza; he even tells the LGBTQ... Community that he's 'got their back' (where did We hear THAT before?). Then he glosses over the 59th Anniversary of the March on Selma's Edmond Pettus Bridge, stressing the need for Voting Rights(?!). Joe Biden is 'Old enough' to know that Selma was about Equality & The Right Of Expression. 59Yrs later, Selma, AL remains poverty stricken. The bridge in question, is still named after a KKK Leader. THIS has been the Democratic Party's Legacy w/ Black America- broken promises & blatant disrespect. I am constantly reminded of an editorial that I read in a 1898 Wilmington, NC Newspaper that stated:

"The Democratic Party never has & never will stand for the Uplift of Black People"... Action speaks louder than Words.

The DNC & their Proxies can ignore Black America's Issues if they want, but We have reached CRITICAL MASS Family! Black Political Awareness is nearly back to 1968 levels, which scares these people to death. The Streets are talking about The Black Agenda & the need for Lineage Based Reparations for American Descendants Of Chattel Slavery. Press on Young Fam! We were distracted by The Cosby Show (Scholastic Achievement) & Gangsta Rap (Ghetto Fabulousness), but y'all AREN'T falling for the Oakey Doke. I am personally proud of Our Young Lions & Lionesses speaking Truth to Power unapologetically & learning how to Do for Self.

-The Real Ones got Ur backs!
