I read everything but this is the author
The gentleman picture to the above is Taleeb Starkes. Mr. Starkes presents himself as a filmmaker, activist, social worker, mentor, and author. Though he usually fails to mention it, Mr. Starkes is also a conservative, which he will admit if pressed. Taleeb Starkes is the author of a book entitled “The Un-Civil War: Blacks-vs-******s.”
“Admittedly and justifiably, as a black man, I possess multi-layered animosity toward the dysfunctional and sociopathic subculture that openly exists within the African-American community. My abhorrence runs so deeply that I am committed to combating this subculture on any accessible platform. The entire African-American populace is demonized because of the actions of this subculture, which has essentially hijacked the African-American image and revamped it into their image and likeness. Moreover, this parasitic subculture replicates horrid conditions wherever it exists. This trend is unique to the ****** subculture. Our mission is to expose and ostracize the dysfunctional, criminally prone ****** subculture.” Taleeb Starkes
Taleeb Starkes was on local talk radio plugging his book recently. The guest co-host, Colin Flaherty, is an ignorant, uncivil, uncouth, very racist, white conservative extremist. Mr. Starkes not only bragged about his friendship with Flaherty, but also cited the book Colin Flaherty wrote (which should be called ******s are out to get us) as a reference in his research. The fact that Starkes used the mish mash of poorly written, poorly researched utterances Flaherty has the unmitigated gall to call a book is one the many strong indicators that “The Un-Civil War: Blacks-vs-******s” is a worthless publication. I have not read Starkes’ book and have no plans of doing so. I sincerely hope it makes the worst sellers list.
I was compelled to call in and have a brief talk with Taleeb Starkes. I asked if he was of the opinion that the oppression of the past and the structural impediments that are still in place has no effect on the current dysfunction in the Black community. Mr. Starkes firmly stated that he was unaffected. ‘Blacks need to stop crying victim and liberals are enablers. Why do Black people always want to bring up the past?’ Starkes echoes the rhetoric of racist white conservative extremists there was no need to continue the conversation. Taleeb Starkes is a fitting subject for a case study of the insanity of Black conservatism. It would take a hell of lot more than a ten or fifteen minute segment over talk radio to re-educate and eradicate the slave mentality that is so deeply ingrained in Taleeb Starkes.
Is conservative ideology when embraced by Blacks an indication of insanity? It would seem a valid assessment. What other explanation can there be for people like Allen West, Herman Cain, Mia Love, Clarence Thomas, and Taleeb Starkes. How else does one explain people willing to walk lock step with the very people who have openly declared their hostility for the very community from which you hail? How do explain people who embrace their oppressor and views their own community with disdain and animosity. Sellout is too simple an explanation even though it is in most cases applicable. There are those that are complete absolute sellouts, but there are also true believers amongst these black conservatives.
Want to be rich and famous? Become a black conservative and run for office. During your campaign make statements so outrageous and provocative it becomes a media staple to look forward to the next statement. Say things about black people so negative and insulting as to make the most racist conservative extremist smile with glee. You may not win an election, but even if you don’t you can rest assure your nest will be well feathered. There will be book deals and media appearances, and maybe even the big prize: a slot on right wing talk radio. Allen West and Herman Cain are prime examples of this level of selling out.
True believers are another creature with a whole different motivation. True believers offer the strongest evidence of mental illness in black conservatives. True believers have developed an uncanny ability to ignore the most racist actions and statements expressed by their white comrades. Even when pressed, true believers can rationalize and excuse the most hostile attitudes to such an extent that the most persistent critics give up in exasperation. Like most fanatics that so fervently seek the acceptance of their real oppressor they adopt the hostility of their oppressor towards their own community. Black conservatives view any blacks that have not achieved their level of financial success, their level of education, or political enlightenment with no small measure of contempt. They look down their noses at working class or impoverished blacks and refer to them as those people, ghetto, or like Taleeb Starkes - “the ****** subculture.”
True believers like Taleeb Starkes actually believe they have the Black community’s best interest at heart. Starkes truly believes Black people would be better off if we embraced the conservative ideology. That the oppression of the past has no bearing on present conditions; that the structural impediments of bigotry in education, employment, and the justice system have no bearing on the dysfunctional conditions in the Black community. True believers firmly believe that there should be no accountability for the systematic injustices of the past, that are still a hindrance for Black America today. True believers like Starkes believe that this so called subculture is the creation of lazy, lawless ******s who desire to live in crime and poverty.
Taleeb Starkes has concluded that the multi-layered animosity he possesses towards the ****** subculture has led him to the conclusion that this segment of the Black community needs to be identified and ostracized. Ostracize means to ban. Ban us(yes I identify with the ****** subculture) where? Build more prisons? Send us to some island? Is Taleeb Starkes nuts? Yes.
