What Do whites Say About Their Culture, Patriarchy
“…a church held up and fueled by...patriarchy and the resulting toxic masculinity. At its core, patriarchy seeks to defend, embolden, justify and ascribe power to men in general, but also power specifically over women.”
But at its simplest, it conveys the existence of a societal structure of male supremacy that operates at the expense of women – rather in the way that “white supremacy” conveys the existence of a societal structure that operates at the expense of black people. https://bit.ly/2MlovUT
Rich white men are afraid of Matriarchy…afraid of women being equal…
“Women are going to take charge of society. …Steve Bannon has warned Donald Trump the anti-patriarchy movement will dramatically change power relations in the US and predicted it will be bigger than the Tea Party… It’s an anti-patriarchy movement. Time’s up on 10,000 years of recorded history. This is coming. This is real.”…“You watch. The time has come. Women are going to take charge of society. ..Trump…is the patriarch. This is a definitional moment in the culture. It’ll never be the same going forward.”
The age of patriarchy: how an unfashionable idea became a rallying cry for [white] feminism today https://bit.ly/2MlovUT
“…It’s a societal structure of [white] male supremacy that operates at the expense of women – rather in the way that “white supremacy” conveys the existence of a societal structure that operates at the expense of black people. It operates through inequalities at the level of the law and the state…upheld by powerful [European] cultural norms and supported by tradition, education and religion.”
If Patriarchy is the Culture of Europeans, What’s Black/African Culture
UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity says Culture is…
“…a set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of …a group and that it encompasses , in addition to art and literature, lifestyle [violent or peaceful], ways of living together [individualistic or communal], value system [love of money or respect for eldes], tratitions [abuse or revere children], and beliefs [men dominate women or men & women – equal]…”
The Expert on Culture: Cheikh Anta Diop
But to really understand culture, Matriarchy or Patriarchy, let’s consult the world’s foremost scholar who used linguistic, cultureal & physical anthropology, history and the knowledge of chemistry and physics to disprove the white historians who been falsifying history for past 500 years. He proved that Africa had a culture, Matriarchy, that it’s not inferior to Patriarchy, and that it’s the 1st and oldest culture. Diop says, the two primary climates, hot and cold, produced two distinct cultures with different characteristics which include:
And, even Black feminist talk about Patriarchy…Angela Davis, a famous Black feminist spoke of ‘Patriarchy’ at the Woman’s March; she used a version of Patriarchy in her speech (
Diop, the man who disproved white scholars who said Black had no culture and/or that it was inferior to their Patriarchy in his 1950’s thesis…which they finally had to approve. He discerned Black culture…saying it was characterized by peace, cooperation and equality…non-hierarchical. He published his thesis, The Cultural Unity of Black Africa…all people of warm climates.
Dr. Edwin Nichols, who whites pay $4-5,000 for a plain old “Workshop,” $20-35,00 for a “Cultural Audit,” the Bureau of Labor Statistics at the Department of Labor paid him $15,000 for diversity training and the Environmental Protection Agency got him cheaply at $12,000. In this training, he tells them they’er genetically violent, competitive, and sexist/classist/ and racist (
Wobogo tells us to survive in the figid European weather, Black Africans
Nina tells us that trapped in Europe for 20,000 years, Africans lost their dark skin to benefit from the many attributes of Vit D …required for survival.
And, Amadiume tells us that Matriarchy still exists in Africa though whites, via cultural genocide, are fighting stringently to extinguish it…because it is a force that opposes Patriarchy.
