As I stated in my previous entry, this will be my last post on this blog. If any of you are familiar with any of my previous works, you will know that this space on xanga (and wordpress) has been dedicated to analyzing the racial dynamics that exist within society. it is for this reason that I will not go in great detail re-explaining these dynamics once again. However, in order to provide some subtext for what is to follow I feel it necessary to give a brief summary of my thoughts on the matter once and for all.
In short, Asian people, like all colored people, have been put at a great (though not insurmountable) disadvantage in society. White power structures have conditioned people to see Asian men as weak, effeminate, little boys while Asian women are portrayed as nothing more than little playthings that only exist to satiate the desires of white males. The western world, has debased us as a people through decades of imperialism and oppression both here and in Asia and as a result most Asian folk now live lives that fall far below their potential. Our dignity and self respect has nearly been wiped out, apart from isolated Individuals here and there who still cling to their pride.
The more important question however is how to fix this current state of affairs. Firstly we must understand that we cannot rely on white people to change on their own. Generally speaking, from observing society in general over the years I have noticed that white people have thought of a very several powerful way in which they can preserve their privilege. Their main weapon in such matters is that of plausibe deniability.
When I talk of plausable deniability, I mean to talk about the ways in which white people try to disregard the grievances of colored people while maintaining their own sense of moral superiority. When confronted with instances of racism or structural inequalities, many white people go on the defensive, claiming they aren’t racist while refusing to even listen or give attention to the substance of the arguments made by colored people. This way, they can continue to benefit from white privilege and maintain their dominance without having to acknowledge the fact that inequalities do exist or even feel guilty about it. In a way this strategy is perfect. There is no way for colored people to fight against this form of plausible deniability, as whites can just label us as being ‘oversensitive’ or ‘playing the race card’. Since whites currently have all the power, they can get away with it since we do not have the means or the power to challenge them and in turn things never really change.
In this case it is clear that things can only get better if colored people -in this case Asian people – stand up together to change society in our self interest to regain our dignity and self respect as a people. We must band together and use our collective contacts and capital to impose our will in the areas of business, advertising, movies and television so that we will no longer be treated or viewed as lesser people. We must also raise enough capital to invest in restructuring the education systems in Asian countries educate the young about these realities and build a sense of unity within Asia that translates into real outcomes on a global scale. If Asian natives can be deprogrammed from their ‘white worshipping’ disease, things could really get interesting.
It is for this reason that I advocate the pursuit of money and power as much as possible, not for the mere accumulation of capital itself or because of mere materialism, but for the power it brings. There would need to be informal networks of Asian professionals who would be dedicated to helping and supporting fellow members in terms of connections, business opportunities and general emotional support throughout their daily lives. These groups would also need to work with entities in Asia to expand their dominance and reach into Western markets. Members in Asian American branches should also look into financing and supporting nationalist movements and ventures in Asian countries to help counteract Western mulitnational driven social conditioning like various non profit organization fronts that actually serve to infiltrate and influence different Asian societies. The most important thing however is that such groups must give all available opportunities to their Asian members at the expense of everyone else. This means employment, business, social opportunities…everything. The goal would be to have as many Asian people being at the top of their field. White people are already excluding us now, so we must help one another.
Finally such groups would need to help encourage and foster more productive relationships between different Asian nationalities, that means no more inter-asian racism. the focus must shift from Asian nations competing and challenging each other, to Asia itself challenging the West as a unified force as best as possible.
However, one would literally need to give their everything when joining such a group, the bonds made would have to be much deeper than those found in your usual alumni or Asian American advocacy groups. In general the greater the change one wishes to bring, the greater the sacrifice one would have to make to see it come into fruition. This group wouldn’t be just about business or money, but everything. Ideally, if there was anything you would need help with, there should be a member there to support you for the greater good. We would need to be more than friends or comrades, but family. In this case, membership must be tightly controlled where only the most dedicated, overly zealous and motivated individuals should be accepted.
The one problem with such a strategy is that there may not be enough Asian Americans or Asian native people out there who meet these requirements. Would an Asian person be willing to make sacrifices like moving areas or starting a business in the interests of such a group? Especially if they have been conditioned to be somewhat satisfied with their ordinary lives in middle America As second class citizens? Well, that’s for you to decide. I will say this thoughh, if for nothing else, joining such a group would most probably improve your life financially so what’s there to lose?
With that, I must say goodbye. I will no longer check this blog or respond to comments or messages. I have decided to move onto other things, namely I will be starting my own little online community that wont be open to the public. If this sounds interesting to you, please email me at itsdangerousk1d@gmil.com, however be prepared to get on webcam so I can at least see your face to prove your identity. Other than that, I really have nothing more to say, except thank you.
