The Problem With Brown Clowns

They Miss The Point

The problem with "brown clowns" (not my words, I am not calling them that) like Myron Gaines and Sneako is that they continually try to go where they are not wanted.

They try to jump through hoops for white approval that they don't actually have to, to gain respect. They try to enter real neo-nazi spaces that will never accept them because they view validation from the angriest whites as a high accomplishment.

And, if it is an accomplishment, it can only be achieved at the cost of their souls...and this is why they are referred to as dancing monkeys; simply because the crowd may smile at you doesn't mean they are smiling with you.

There is neither respect to be earned nor acceptance to be gained by anyone of any group by *simply* criticizing black people.

Why? Because that's easy. Too easy.

It's why I generally don't do it.

People like Sneako and Myron Gaines don't actually understand what it feels like to be white. They simply analyze whites from an outsider's perspective devoid of real empathy, ultimately coming to the conclusion that reflecting white frustration in their content works to get them an audience.

...but it's largely inauthentic, and self-insulting.

For someone like me, it is quite different because I actually do understand to a great extent what it feels like to be white. When I refer to myself as an outsider, I am largely referring to tightly knit cultures like the Latvians, but that is fundamentally different than feeling like an outsider to whites as a whole, especially as I *am* part white. (Someone like Myron is not, and while I think someone like Sneako has a *little* white in him, he was not largely raised around whites.)

From that difference, I understood intuitively that riding waves of white frustration and anger will only get you so far. And to maintain whatever support you do get *requires* you to perpetually parrot talking points of frustration.

You end up branding yourself as hateful and angry with both others and yourself, effectively committing to an existence devoid of inner peace.

So, what to do then?

The question is not whether someone who is not white supporting Western civilization is bad. The *entire* generational push for integration has been so with the hope of countless white people that brown people like me could, indeed, exist.

The real issue is this: Regardless of how one *feels* about Europeans in general...

...even if their heart is in the right place, can they actually carry the same torch?

That's true integration.

Are there non-white people who can genuinely share white burdens?

And when you reflect deeply enough about what that means, to not be white yet carry the torch of whites, you realize how the answer isn't in talking...but in doing.

What technology are you building? What cures are you developing? What philosophical breakthroughs are you making? How many white people depend on you to survive?

Are you a brown person who could actually take us to Mars?

You can be a non-white leader of white people, but to do so, these are the questions you must be able to answer with not mere words but actions and results. Questions like *these* are at the heart of the doubt, and they will never be answered by brown people who choose to remain dancing monkeys.

You could develop a cure for a disease that saves millions of white lives without ever saying a single disrespectful word about black people.

Don't jump through hoops for the approval of people carrying the torch.

...just carry the actual torch.
