Rural-Agrarian Afro-Dixie-Futurism: A Manifesto -

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

There's this idea I have on how to improve the lot of the Black Man in the United States.

As we all know, Pol Pot was right: cities turn people evil.

We have also seen a broad shift in the American Black's cultural center from the rural South to the urban North. "Coincidentally," this shift also corresponded with them becoming more unruly, useless, generally unpleasant to coexist with.

My proposal is that we find a way to convince American Blacks that they should turn away from movements like Afrofuturism, Hotepism, and other such ideologies which are rooted in the Northern industrial cities, and instead towards a rediscovery of their rural Southern identity. We'll want to trick them into moving to places like Tuscaloosa and Plains. My hope is that this will mellow them out, and we can then take places like Detroit, Chicago, and Baltimore back and make them livable.

 

[The Last Stand]

Basically, what you're saying is that Blacks from the South act more well-mannered than Blacks from up north or urban areas?

Urban life can bring out the worse in people. Condensed areas, heavy traffic, urban decay, policing. However, people that would live in more remote areas would want to escape that lifestyle and live in peace.

Having people like that move in remote areas could have those conditions foster in those areas, unless the police and town have a no tolerance on that stuff.

Good idea, but I think it is more appropriate to call it "40 Acres and a Mule"-ism. If you reframe it as a concession to reparations, they will probably be more likely to get on board with it.

That sounds like it could be investigated further easily. Do blacks commit less violent crime when in rural areas? Should be easy for someone to pull up. Someone not me.

I want 40 acres and a cow, and I ain't even black. Or G. K. Chesterton.

Yes because black farmers are great at farming OBVIOUSLY. Thats why in the places they kill the white farmers they have bountiful harvests and not horrible famines.

I deliberately made it sound more autistic, but I do like the idea. That's a good way, you've suggested, of pitching it. Northern Black culture was very productive with regards to making new music, but the culture has gone into a deep decline that's very unpleasant. I feel like when they moved North, they lost a part of their identity and were set adrift, making them more susceptible to race-baiting politicians.

Although the South currently has connotations (to both Blacks and Whites) of being an anti-Black space, I think that successfully reintegrating them into the South would make them better Americans and reduce race tensions. Thinking of the circumstances of their creation (plantation slavery) as the birth of their people would perhaps take away some of the bitterness, and Southernization may undercut the idea of their persecution.

Bruh, you don't have to be a farmer to live in the countryside. Most of the workers in my heavily-rural area are employed in light industries. Little factories scattered throughout towns that employ a few dozen people and are so quiet that they can be nestled in among houses with no disturbance.

southern blacks are more human than urban northern blacks, hope this helps

You know, this isn't the worst idea I have heard.

Though I wouldn't mind restarting homesteading programs in general. i.e. There is amount of federal land, it is granted out to individuals (not businesses) who register the land. Then in a couple of years you check back in with those folks and see if they are actually living on that land and "improving" it. If it has not been lived on, or improved, it goes back into the federal land grant system.

Western states tend to have an absurd amount of federal land that is reasonably arable (read: able to grow shit), that could easily be converted into independent subsistence+ farming homesteads.

Afro-Dixie-Futurism? I can tell you've read Snow Crash.

If Southern black folks are so well behaved then what about Stone Mountain? You have a 1 in 13 chance of becoming a victim of a crime there, and that's before you start importing the Crips and Black Israelites.

Otherwise sure. Give them a bunch of shitty farmland in Wyoming, call it reparations, and then tax them until their balls fall off.

WTF is Snow Crash?
That's okay, if they fuck up we'll send them to Angola - Georgia Version.
I do think that the Wyoming idea is exactly what we should have done in Reconstruction. Deported the fucks to either Liberia or the West. Either case would have ended in horrific mortality rates, but that'd be their problem.

Well, i do think they are, but also that I think that Northern Black culture has caused issues with the Black sense of self. Black identity seems to tend to be bound up in one of the following (listed in increasing order of how much I hate it):
1. Neo-African shit
2. Civil rights whining
3. Ghetto culture/modern Black pop culture
3. We wuz kangz

I'm not interested in trying to convince Blacks that they were happy slaves or anything like that. But, I do think, based more on a gut feeling than anything else, that they would get along better with us and be happier themselves if their cultural touchstones were things like Br'er Rabbit, soul food, and Booker Washington instead of Jesse Jackson, rap, and BET.

I also think it kind of sucks that TV has a million shows about Black families now, and not one of them is set in the Black Belt. I wish a TV network would put out a show set in rural Mississippi or Alabama in a Black county, though that's kind of a secondary complaint.

"Rural-Agrarian Afro-Dixie-Futurism: A Manifesto"

I feel like the very fact I know what the terminology in this word salad of a sentence says something about how into esoteric autistic political shit I am. I think I might need to go out and be a normie again.

 

[The Reaper]

I tell pretty much anyone willing to listen: If you are living in poverty in the city and are feeling disenfranchised move to the country. Will some people look at blacks and be concerned? Yes but if you are polite, call people sir or miss, and work hard rural Americans will grow to like you. The rural area I'm in right now has a huge Hispanic population which keep to themselves and work hard. I've been seeing a few more blacks who are doing delivery work with Amazon. They work hard and always greet you with a smile while dropping stuff off. Living is fairly cheap out here and ten times safer than the city.

Something I've thought about before was strategic homesteading. Basically, areas would be selected to become homesteading sites based on what would allow for an overall improvement to economic efficiency. For instance, let's say you want to expand the interstate to more effectively link major economic hubs, rather than simply building the interstate, and then waiting for towns to slowly grow up along the new route, you'd instead create homestead zones at ideal locations along the new route to help facilitate travel. This could also allow for the junctions to be better planed so you don't end up with massive cluster fucks like what happens with the interstate now through many major cities.

 

[Unyielding Stupidity]

It's certainly a tempting idea, but doesn't deal with the core issues that've torn the black community asunder. The biggest issue their communities have is organized crime, and dumping them in the middle of nowhere would only go so far, especially when tons of them pretty much idolize gang culture and crime. Your best bet would be to crack down hard on organized crime, and rather than arresting the gangs and sending them to regular prisons, you send them to rehabilitation camps to give them training/skills to work in certain fields of work, and get them into a stable workplace where they can actually earn money. Voluntary stuff doesn't work, as most of them wouldn't even utilize it if they're already in a gang. Once you get them into actual work and they start getting paid, they'll not be claiming government assistance as much, and would have less incentive to join gangs. Trying to clamp down on other issues such as the glorification of gangsters that permeates their community, and the issue of single motherhood would certainly help as well.

Great video about afro-dixie-whatchamacallit-thingamajigabob:

In theory it all sounds good but it doesn't address the disaster of black fatherlessness and the corporate promoted thug culture

Well you said "Rural-AGRARIAN" in the title so excuse me for taking it too literally. This idea still wont work anyway because Blacks are in cities because its easier to rent in the ghetto than to own land in the country side.
