THEY ARE BURNING THE HOUSE DOWN WITH US IN IT.

Hello, beautiful, beautiful people. I hope you are well wherever you are. Beautiful black people in America and abroad. We have a problem among us. We have many various problems among our blackness racial group. But this one, I believe, is one of the most serious ones because it involves what I consider a mental illness. Self-hate is deadly. Self-hate is dangerous. Self-hate makes some black men in America succumb to being a pet like dog to white whores, and some black women become pet like dogs to male white whores. Self-hate is even enslaving. Do you see how in twenty twenty six the self-hate trap will work, still work on some of us? Because self-hate operates as one of the most effective tools of social control ever deployed, ever deployed against black people. And in 2026, the machinery runs smoother than ever because it is now hidden inside of algorithms, inside of beauty standards, and inside of internalized hierarchies. The trap, the self-hate trap, works on multiple levels. Economically, self-hate redirects black wealth outward to white hands, to the hands of people of color. When black consumers distrust black owned businesses, preferred brands that historically excluded black people, or spend billions of dollars chasing validation from outside of the black community. That wealth leaves our communities and rarely returns. Black Americans hold roughly about two trillion in buying power, and a significant portion flows directly to companies that reinvest zero dollars into black communities. Self-hate from a social perspective, it fractures solidarity when colorism, hair discrimination, and class division get weaponized within the black community itself. Black people spend energy policing each other. That energy belongs in buildings and building. That energy belongs in building. Divide and conquer strategies. Work precisely because self-hate makes the division feel organic, feels personal, feel earned. And in 2026, social media accelerates the cycle. Platforms reward performance over substance, light skin over dark skin, blackness over authentic expression. Young people consume thousands of signals daily. The algorithm does what overseers once did manually. It selects who gets amplified and who disappears. We still have overseers digitally. The antidote has always been the same. Conscious black communities, deliberate study of black history, and black excellence, economic solidarity, and mentors who model self-respect without apology. Elders, black elders who lived through overt oppression and still built barbershops, churches, fraternities, HBCUs, newspapers. They understood that loving yourself was a radical act of resistance. Loving and supporting black people is resistance. The trap, the self-hate prep still works on some of us because the deprogramming requires sustained, intentional effort. The ones who escape it tend to find black community, black study, and black purposes, and they pull others out up the ladder with them. Self-hate is deadly. Self-hate is dangerous. Self-hate is controlling. Self-hate makes black men and black women become pet like dogs to white whores. Self hate is enslaving. I do not hate, I elevate.
