A Constitutional Crisis: White Supremacist Authoritarianism in America
White people in America have always been intentional about domination and control. Not all of them. But enough. Enough to shape laws. Enough to shape policy. Enough to decide who gets power and who gets pain. That is not an accident — it is the architecture of the United States. And one of the greatest mistakes we make as African people is not understanding the difference between bigotry and racism.
Bigotry is personal.
A bigot hates you because you're Black. A bigot thinks you’re inferior. A bigot is emotional. They cling to the ugliest stereotypes: “You’re lazy.” “You’re dangerous.” “You’re not as smart.” It’s noisy. It’s petty. It’s small.
Racism is different.
Racism is not personal.
Racism is not emotional.
Racism is business.
Racism says, “I don’t care that you’re Black. I don’t hate you. I might even like you. I’ll party with you, smoke with you, even date your sister. But when it comes to power — to land, to wealth, to housing, to healthcare, to contracts, to opportunity — I want white people in control. Always.”
That’s not about feelings. That’s about infrastructure. Zoning laws. Bank loan policies. Who gets the government contract. Who controls the legislative map. Racism doesn’t need to raise its voice — because it already owns the room.
You can meet a white person with no bigotry in their blood — no hatred, no stereotypes — and still, they will vote, speak, and move in ways that protect white dominance. That’s why we say: Don’t confuse a white person’s personal feelings with their political reality. Racism is a team sport. The question isn’t whether they like you. The question is whether they believe Black people should have control — over our resources, our communities, our futures.
And here’s the proof — right now, in plain sight. In Texas, Republican lawmakers have rammed through a redistricting bill designed to lock in political control for the next decade. When challenged, they haven’t engaged in honest debate or accountability. Instead, they’ve wielded procedural tricks, quorum-busting threats, and even the machinery of state enforcement to force compliance. Their goal is not fair representation. Their goal is to ensure the levers of power remain in the same hands — their hands — no matter what voters want.
This is racism without the slur, without the hood, without the burning cross. It’s the cold efficiency of power protecting itself. And it’s why America is in a constitutional crisis: not because the system is broken, but because the system is being used exactly as intended — to deny real self-determination to those outside the circle of power.
We cannot beg this system to treat us fairly. We must build our
Properties double as nodes for BIT’s economic and political activity — meeting spaces, storage for cooperative goods, or hubs for childcare and healthcare services.
Why This Matters
This covenant takes the abandoned property left by white flight, urban renewal, and economic sabotage — and turns it into a non-negotiable asset of the community. It removes the two main tools used against us:
Speculation — which drives gentrification and displacement
Instability — which keeps us vulnerable and divided
It makes housing a guaranteed right inside BIT, regardless of whether the U.S. ever grants that same guarantee. If you're still here, it's because something real hit you.
But understand this—Real Talk ain’t here to entertain, go viral, or win likes. We don’t move for algorithms—we move for liberation.
So don’t just listen. Reflect. Connect. Build.
I’m not looking for clicks—I’m looking for commitment.
Because the truth is: the time for performative outrage is over.
What I’m here to do is connect with the ones ready to move—ready to think differently, build differently, and live free on our own terms. This is about one thing:
Liberation under Black management.
Until the next episode:
Stay sharp. Stay Building. And stay Black on Purpose.
