The invisible foot is the foot that white people have on the necks of blacks, Native Americans and others. It is called invisible because whites say they do not see it.
Race in America, a brief history: whites knocked blacks and Native Americans to the ground, beat them up, took their money and then put their foot on their neck. At first the foot barely allowed them to breathe. Now they can breathe more freely (what whites mean by, “It’s not as bad as it used to be.”) but the foot is still there. In what follows I will take just the case of blacks to keep it simple.
White people deny the foot is there:
- They see the foot in past but not the present. So blacks must be imagining it.
- They say blacks were not knocked down – they have always been down.
- Or they were knocked down so long ago that no one alive can be blamed for it and, besides, blacks should have got up already! If they have not, that just proves there is something wrong with them. Maybe they were just born that way. Or maybe their Culture or Values are at fault. Certainly not any foot on their neck.
- Oprah and Obama and other blacks standing up proves there is no foot on the necks of black people. Whites do not need to change a thing. Blacks just have to try harder! If they are good at standing up then they can go to a private school that will teach them how to stand up! So there is hope.
- Jews and Asians are standing up, so what is wrong with black people?
- They say blacks are just as evil – even though there is no black foot on their white neck.
The press sometimes runs stories on blacks who are lying on ground. They almost never say anything about the foot – or bring it up just to wave it off. Lying on the ground has little to do with white people.
Whites wear special glasses: Super Duper Racist Spectacles Tinted with Moral Blindness. Wearing these special glasses they cannot see the foot.
That money in their pocket? It just kind of got there by accident. Or through Hard Work. Or Free Markets. Or some other lie their parents and teachers taught them to say. It certainly did not come from blacks and natives: look at how poor they are!
Some blacks want at least part of the money back. They call it Reparations or something. But giving back any of it is Impossible. Besides, living a lie pays so much better.
But out of the corner of their eye, where they can kind of see how the world looks without their glasses, they sometimes see the foot. And deep down they know why they keep it there: They are afraid that if they remove it they will be knocked down, beat up, robbed and have a foot on their neck.

Speaking on feet on necks…
Bank of America, parent company of Countrywide, just settled a mortgage lending discrimination claim to the tune of $335 million. Black and Latino borrowers were charged higher rates than whites with similar credit ratings. Blacks and Latinos who clearly qualified for prime mortgages were given subprime ones. In some cases black borrowers even had higher incomes than their white counterparts. Institutionalized racism is so tightly interwoven into the system’s fabric that it often seems invisible to those who don’t experience it. Even when the Invisible Foot is unveiled, some will still say they don’t to see it.
Presidential candidate Rick Santorum stuck by his statement that he has no problem with income disparities. When questioned, he said that people who earn higher salaries are rewarded because they are just better at what they do. Studies have long established that white males earn more than any other group. (I have experienced this inequality first-hand). This example reminds me of Abagond’s ‘White Privilege’ post where he writes:

I agree with this, somewhat. However, credit has to be given when one considers that/how whites set the world up’ to cater to their existence for them and, their progeny for generations to come. The ‘white’ race basically set it’ up so that ALL whites are heirs to supremacy, no matter intellect, morals, competency or deserved. That must be an awesome existence….

yes this is true – although it’s an exaggeration. Whites have more of an advantage to supremacy rather than being automatic heirs. There are poor/uneducated/morally defunct etc whites that I am certainly more privileged than.
What we now need to do is find ways of attaining privilege within our race/community. This means finding ways of moving up ourselves, rather than expecting whites to give up their privilege to make way for us. From my own point of view, this means making moves in lifting black communities, around the world, out of poverty and I believe this starts with taking an interest in the welfare of majority-black countries.

The ”foot” is put there for a reason. Whites know darn well what they have done and continue to do. Fear is what drives them to act the way they do. Make NO mistake about them, they are fully aware of what’s going on! Because it is they who created it.
They know that if the “foot” is ever lifted, they will be one the receiving end of all the pain and tragedy they have put us through. The “foot” must remain, in their eyes, to keep us “in our place.”
I agree that we must figure out a way to lift ourselves up without them. They will never help us, don’t want to. Especially they ones who claim that they do.

Absolutely which makes the press untrustworthy as to the real issues. Also, it seems they will likely question poverty if white people are the victims. Conversely and most likely, if the story is about poor blacks, you’d hardly hear about the causes at all. Thus, it’s implied that black people are too lazy to work while whites are screwed by a shitty economy. It’s no wonder you see this kind of one-sided favoritism in the press when it comes to crime as well.
The thing is that the press is covering the asses of those institutions and the people running them that plays a huge role in creating and maintaining poverty. At the same time they help scapegoat poverty and crime onto the people at the bottom without investigating the causes.

Once again, when one deconstructs this narrative, one is left to ponder the true motivations of the authors.
According to this narrative, every white person has this additional invisible foot. Certainly, some whites have a bigger amd heavier invisible foot than other whites. Nonetheless, ALL WHITE PEOPLE have an invisible foot that they then place on the neck of a black person. In fact, given the demographics, in America, each black person has on average about FIVE invisible white feet on his neck.
But it is also a fact that black Americans are the most radically autonomous blacks in world.
No one can claim that black Americans have a heavier invisible white foot on their neck than say, Haitian blacks. Or, Brazilian blacks.
So how does this narrative jive? And what is the primary focus? Making the invisible white foot, visible? Making the invisible white foot disappear? Or, getting the invisible white foot of the black man’s neck?
Once we ask these questions then we can evaluate Abagond’s propaganda and see how it is trying to influence the masses.
Has he offered a way to make the invisible white foot REALLY visible?
Has he offered a method in which the white racist can rid himself of his invisible foot?
What are the steps he takes in order to remove the invisible white foot that is unquestionably on his neck?

As an American, I’ve heard this many times over the years. People with this mindset don’t take into account (or maybe they do) that the histories, experiences and obstacles faced by each of these groups are vastly different. Most Asians and Jews came to the U.S. of their own free will. The ancestors of most black Americans were brought here AGAINST their will. There is a lot of messed-up baggage that goes along with that, and its deeply ingrained into the psyches of native-born Americans, whether they admit it or not. From what I’ve seen and heard, many Jews consider themselves white, and they often look more Euro than Semitic. They are seen as shrewd, hard-working business people, and they have white privilege. (Nobody raised an eyebrow when Chelsea Clinton married a Jewish man). It appears to me that Asians (especially American-born ones), are treated like honorary white people. They are considered to be above average in intelligence and hard-working. Blacks, on the other hand, are seen as not as smart (to put it nicely) and lazy (except when it comes to violence). I’m not saying that life is always a cake walk for Jews and Asians, but black people face a unique set of discriminatory challenges.

Too claim ALL whites are guilty for “crimes” against blacks because SOME whites in the past where guilty of crimes against blacks is to make a claim THAT CAN’T BE JUSTIFIED in any reasoned or rationale manner.
To subjectively apply guilt to ALL whites based on the REAL GUILT of other whites is too nonsensical to rebut.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person subconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, usually to other people. Thus, projection involves imagining or projecting the belief that others originate those feelings.[1]
Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted unconscious impulses or desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them.
An example of this behavior might be blaming another for self failure. The mind may avoid the discomfort of consciously admitting personal faults by keeping those feelings unconscious, and by redirecting libidinal satisfaction by attaching, or “projecting,” those same faults onto another person or object.
The theory was developed by Sigmund Freud – in his letters to Wilhelm Fliess, ‘”Draft H” deals with projection as a mechanism of defence'[2] – and further refined by his daughter Anna Freud; for this reason, it is sometimes referred to as Freudian Projection.[3]

Thank you, Matari for the reference to my blog.
On topic,
I will write, to the credit of so-called “Whites,” America makes us, both African and European, very ignorant. More so, though no fault of Abagond’s, I will admit that Abagond’s language facilitates the ‘blindness of the feet.’
Very simply, the word “Black” suggests a “color” similar to “White.” So “People” see themselves as “colored” or “non-colored” people (ironically in the wrong way since, “scientifically speaking,” “white” is ‘all colors’ and “black” is ‘no color’) thus to be ‘color blind’ is to put ‘color’ as merely a vanity and nothing more (though there is honestly a world of difference between the people.)
When actually, so-called “Black Americans” are not “Americans,” as neither are so-called “White Americans,” “Americans,” but one is African and the other is European–to wit, the “Americans” are (in an incomplete understanding) the Natives.
In this picture, where Europeans are educating, imprisoning and starving Africans in America en masse, the ‘foot’ is clear.
However, as long as the dialogue is ‘the same people with a different shade;’ it will necessarily confuse.
Just like if Germany attacked Spain, no one would say “Racist” even though Spain may well be slightly darker than Germany; if the dialogue is “White people” against “Black people,” Europeans will say “people will be people” ignoring that it’s only Europeans who are so much the warmongers. Sadly, the residents of America, African and European, do not much know history.
I should ask Abagond why he takes up the language of “Black” rather than, say, “African.” Especially since he has noted a West Indian background. I ask noting that West Indians do use “Black” but also use their ‘ethnicity,’ which would not put Europeans as “Whites” but the Europeans in America as “Anglo-Saxons;” at least allowing for the exploitation of Africans to be more clear.
Beside, as Matari, whom I thank again, quotes from me, pointing out that Africans in America are kidnapped would clearer drive the point home.

So, though, I can remind you that the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (maybe I should have added that) abolishes slavery, I should also remind you that it allows slavery in prisons.
That said, a little thinking makes everything clear. Why are Africans disproportionately in prison? Because enslaving Africans has always been the goal.
For instance, you can say–but it’s the drug war–but everyone in America knows that Europeans use more drugs than Africans, and everyone in America knows that inner city and young Africans can not operate the drug war independent of European assistance. You can go to the high schools your self and look at them. How are any of them to contact Southern America and participate in the shipping and processing necessary to distribute the drug in their neighborhood. Approach them with “Como Estas?” and see how non-fluent they are.
Then go to an adult African if you wish to still pin this foreign trade on Africans in America.
Finally, there are studies, if you wish to research them, that show that Europeans, caught for drug offenses, get off. Why not?
Afterward, look at prison labour and what corporations do it: McDonalds, Dell, Microsoft . . ..
When you are done, and this is interesting, look up how much money Prison Lobby’s give to Congress. That should tie the picture in well for you.
You do not need to add fancy words. Just remember that in America, prisoners can be enslaved. That is what “Jim Crow” was about. Africans began to be imprisoned because prisoners can be enslaved.
As to ‘psychological warfare’ (though I am unsure what you mean) it depends on what you mean. I do not really follow this, but perhaps “Hip Hop” videos are so sponsored by Europeans (in America) to make Africans seem criminal. The scenes of wildly dancing teenagers and children is incredibly unrealistic (honestly!). But when so bombarded, with little alternative, I admit, they do seem realistic. Add to the crime reports on the news; It would not surprise me if Europeans didn’t think up Africans as ‘criminal’ and ‘wild.’ Yet, what’s sad is that these same Europeans neither read their constitution nor their history. So even if they wanted to be good, they are, for lack of a better word, made ignorant by their own government to see slavery (and racial superiority) in America as something right.
Making them so myopic. And which is it better to be, a person proud of understanding illusions in a cave, or a person who looks upon reality? Perhaps it depends on the culture.
Like I started, some do not act on education, but you will not be the only reader of this comment. If anyone would like to provide the evidences to the statements that I made, please contact me on my blog. Perhaps I can make a blog post on the thirteenth amendment, and prison-industrial-complex, oh and European myopia.

Onitaset says,
“Because enslaving Africans has always been the goal.”
Are you saying this was the goal of the Founders or the 13th Amendment?
I think Lincoln was quoted and HE SUGGESTED A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GOAL…
As President of the United States of America.
He was hardly the only one.
AND MOST BLACK LIBERATIONISTS (read: super-majority of black “Americans”) would have to agree with his solution or lose serious face.
But you really show your hand when you equate prison to slavery.
PRISON can be slavery if the slave is INNOCENT, but prisons are not designed with this as its primary mission in a Christian-based society. Prisons are built to seperate the civilized from uncivilized. The radical liberal blurs this line.
And so it’s silly just to do a straight up comparison of drug use and then claim the prisons should exactly reflect this.
What do blacks DO WHEN CAUGHT?
What do whites DO WHEN CAUGHT?
That would at least give a deeper picture.
Remember, “American” blacks are, by and large, radical autonomists.

The link doesn’t do much more than say that the people who perpetuate the crimes against same sex children don’t think of themselves as gay.
Even those who have sex with adult males might not refer to themselves as gay, the fact that they might be so in the closet that they can’t even admit it to themselves, despite being child rapists is all that really means.
And it even references rapists as for the not really about sex; but the average age of a rape victim is a female in the teens to early 20’s isn’t it?
Thats not helping with the no attraction involved aspect of it.
Of course rape involves domination but it also involves attraction.

Here we see where different variants of radical liberationist (black and homosexual) ally in the destruction of white Supremacy.
First, the black liberationist puts forth a notion that white Supremacy REQUIRES the subjugation and enslavement of the black man. This is wholly nonsensical. It says that in order for a white person to strive towards Supremacy he must apply an “invisible foot” on the neck of a black man. This can’t just be figuratively. This MUST BE literally. The white Supremacist must hold you down physically. Crush you spiritually. But this is the weakness of the individual who lives strictly materially. Supremacy is found in transcendency. White Supremacy may manifest collectively. To say IT MUST put foot on neck of black man is LUNACY. A narrative perpetuated relentlessly. Dogmatically. It’s all about dependency and the will to live independently.
Then we get to homosexuality. Adult males who rape prepubescent boys are just an extreme variant of the homosexual tendency. Fills a void left in infancy. Fashions himself something the same, his deviance rooted in self-sexuality. Self-sexualizer is the HOMOsexual’s primary formality. His nature is to live sexually, autonomously. Self-annihilating is how he gains his freedom absolutely.
This is all antithetical to white Supremacy.

@thordaddy: Since you abhorr homosexuals so much I bet you do know that most contained cultures, the true warrior cultures of history have always been homosexual?
Spartans were well known for the fact that one secret of their falangs durability and strenght was that it consisted lovers. The guy on your left was always your loved one which made you fight to the end in any case. Genius from those guys who got the idea first. Once going gets tuff, nobody is going to remember some high ideas of politics or such but if the guy next to you is your lover, you will defend him with all you got or get revenge for him, if he gets killed.
Spartans also played music and danced when they were on their way to war, in real Gay Pride style, and persians were puzzled in Thermopylai when they saw the ferocious spartans, whom they knew by reputation, fixing their hair-do’s with oil and combs before the fight.
Mr Röhm of the brown shirts, of the original nazi caders, was well known homosexual. The upper eschelon of the brown shirts had an annual get-a-way party in the german Alps every year where they run and bathed naked in the wild, wrestled and grouped each other in a healthy masculine way. In the evenings they all drank merrily beer and danced and sang together like all warriors do, no women allowed, and at night they all went to bed with their chosen ones. That is when Hitler wiped them out. but not because they were homosexuals. The whole nazi system was litterally gay, up to those stylish SS uniforms.
It is also good to remember that majority of the child molesters and kiddie rapist have mostly been conservative, usually authority figures, in churches or schools etc. Droolin commie with long hippie hair and weirdo t-shirt is usually too stoned to get it on with kids, but a healthy conservative boy scout leader is always ready to assist his boys in more than many ways. It has happened and not just once or twice.
Sorry to say but that is a fact. Those child molesters are usually your honest to god conservative surburbian husbands and dads, with good jobs and such. They just like to do it with young girls, usually, every now and then. They do not want to harm anyone, just to have a little romance with a little girl, usually. Sometimes with a boy. After all, they are good people, not some commie freaks from some hippie camp. And god forbid, not some liberals!!

Look at Queen Victoria. she went to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and was named as the person who discovered the falls.
but on a closer look there were Tonga people staying there already for many years. that clearly shows what the White people think of blacks.
That’s why you see the names are beibng changed and the Farms that the white people confisticated from teh black were re confisticated and given back to the original owners.
People go on about the state that the country is in.. before the whites came to Zim. the black people were doibng okay. because of the manipulative and evil intentions of the whites they always try to sabotage and bring the so called dictator lead states into dispute.

Instead the schools in the ghetto are horrible, so students get bussed into better aka suburban aka white schools, which get wrecked so white families flee. Ghettos are hellholes of crime and poverty, so public housing for ghetto residents is built which wrecks better aka white neighborhoods so whites flee. Ghettos don’t have any businesses besides barber shops, nail salons, check cashing agencies, and Chinese take-outs with bulletproof windows so ghetto dwellers go to shopping centers in other aka white areas which get wrecked so whites flee. Then some hipsters buys a house in the ghetto and tries to open a coffee shop and plant a community garden in the trash-filled vacant lot, and when he calls the cops on the corner drug dealers it’s GENTRIFICATION: THEY WANT TO MOVE US OUT! HOW DARE THEY FIX UP HOUSES OPEN BUSINESSES AND CLEAN UP THE TRASH!

This is the last time I will respond to anything you write. Better to save my energy for something positive. Ghettos were the product of redlining, racial steering and white flight. I won’t take the time to educate a grown man on this process. You are free to look it up yourself.
All those examples you have stated are a direct result of white prejudice.
Jay, one of the most difficult things in life is the process of self discovery. I went through it and continue to do so on a daily basis. Hopefully you will too.
America, the good, bad and ugly was made that way when Europeans came here and stole the red mans land. The rest, up til now, is a DIRECT result of that.
Are there blacks who don’t try? Yes. That is seen in EVERY race.
But you cannot honestly say, as someone who I hope is intelligent, that this country was not made the way it is by those in power.
The best way to destroy someone is to convince them to hate themselves. Many blacks are still reeling from this self hatred… 450 years later.
That is what slavery did. And now that slavery ( physical ) is over, white prejudice and bigotry still prevails. I hope you can understand this…

I can agree that blacks do get more respect outside of the USA, but the thing is why blow it out of proportion and say ALL whites are somehow ingrained with this “I hate blacks!” attitude? I’ve read blogs by blacks who have moved to countries within Asia, and most do say they are treated better than they were when they were living in the USA and Canada. Yet they can without bias acknowledge that they do still face some discrimination. But it seems here most posts just blindly go along stating that white people are evil, why? Why not just say that it’s based on the individual and not by race.
And she does “have” a point per se, and I can agree that some do have this thought in their head that ticks away as they notice more and more that whites will become a minority … but again why lump ALL? I was mostly annoyed by the fact that indigoblu has this notion that once whites are a minority “it’s payback time!”
I’m part white, as a result I look white, but does that mean that I should be treated like crap because somehow it’s payback time for me? I didn’t choose to be born white, so why should I have to carry the burden of being classified by what whites have done and not by myself as an individual?
I just dislike people who wish to see some sort of karma happen to all whites just because we were born white. I’m part white, part native and growing up I was called a half-breed in school by not just fellow whites but others as well. But should that experience leave me with some sort of racial justice that needs to happen to them? Ofcourse not, as there are assholes of all colours, but also people who see you as a person.
Blindly hating on people simply based on race is not helping anything, as it’s just making ignorant whites even more paranoid and not helping racial tensions at all, it’s just fanning the flame.

I said some whites do view themselves as becoming more and more of a minority and as such they become hostile towards others, but I said not all do, as I am an exception. But you seem to have mistook that for “You’re crying because whites are becoming a minority and you can’t deal with it!”
And who said I was upset about “the inevitable”? What I was upset about was your utter sense of racial justice upon whites merely because they happen to be white.
