So, when the godmother (seriously,
wtf is that?) of british monarchy turns out to be racist to the core there is masturbatory
consternation among the audience -the ever charming witnesses to medieval theatre
of absurdities. White men and women hanging onto grandiosities of entitlements
as kings and princes while being indulged by decent intelligent adult human beings as
if they are in some elaborate trance as they perform their part. Come on Mr. Charles
stop this nonsense. Abdicate and abolish monarchy and ask them to elect a titular
leader as they do it in India, ofcourse with less feudal pomp. Probably because you are surrounded with sycophants
and knuckleheads that you don’t realize how embarrassing this whole charade is.
Continuation of monarchy is detrimental to progressive egalitarian effort all
across the world, it’s a glaring anachronism that acts to undermine democratic institutions.
It’s a compromise that degrades as also allows leeway for other degrading systems
to enter without scrutiny.
So, when an African origin (or black
person) anywhere in West is asked pointedly about “where you come from” it’s an
attempt at purposefully ignoring the horrible history of slavery and inhuman exploitations
that brought them to West. It’s an attempt to establish proprietorial right as
also to put ‘them’ in their place by reminding of their lowly status despite
they having encroached into proposedly civilized space, now all these words are
as understood from the point of racist West and perpetuated through narrative control.
What is also implied in this racist scrutiny is the psychopathic sly. From your
skin color we know where you came from. We know that despite your attempt to be
like us you were (indeed, are) brainless slaves who were tied and bundled to
West for our service. Don’t you ever forget that. You can claim to be british
citizen but you will still be from somewhere in jungles of Africa. This is exactly what it is to be effortlessly racist, and it comes quite easy for someone nurtured in
theatrics of monarchy. It will be shocking if it doesn’t.
This also brings into question the clever appropriation of black narration by Asians, specifically south Asians in West. These gross attempts to obfuscate black experience -intrinsically connected to the horrendous history that is not even a century old, must be stringently dealt. Most Asians are racist, it is part of most cultures, so primitive they don’t even realize. Even when they realize they don’t acknowledge. In case of caste cannibals, they deal it with inbred dexterity of myths and meaningless collections of words devoid of its original meaning and contexts that some in west are susceptible to and find compelling. Caste cannibals carry it in their name hence the question ‘where you from’ becomes meaningless, as everything is settled in order in the satisfying waft of putrefying pit (and yes if the stench is not as expected then sniffing mami will be activated into the scene!). In desperation to establish pecking order that satisfy primal urge of primitives they ask “where are you from” in uncouth big cities to classify your economic class so as to immediately estimate the worth (so if you are located in congested shitholes you will be dropped halfway through the conversation, as it is name depalan burned a deep hole in their pus filled soul). Therefore these attempts to bracket black with ‘color’ people must be closely scrutinized. To put it in perspective most south Asian in West (particularly in UK) are byproduct of feudal values, caste cannibalism and yes corruption, greed and nepotism. They weren’t exploited at all, indeed during colonialism most of them were conduit to exploitation even those posturing as freedom fighters. They identified much with racist exploiters and strived to match with them, and were appalled to be equated with Africans. Hierarchical minded primitives sought pecking order from racist colonial masters, indeed that truly was their struggle. If you look at grainy videos of colonial atrocities against Indians it was mostly done by Indians. Britishers wouldn’t have controlled such vast land with large population without active support of Indians. The embryonic ties of racist colonizers with caste cannibals, and how it degraded society, as also how feudal values perpetuated by monarchy indelibly infected the foundation of fledgling democracy and sidelined egalitarian native values across the world is understandably not studied much. History is only used to control narration.
