A Linguistic Analysis of the Negroid and Its Direful Existence
A Linguistic Analysis of the Negroid and its Direful Existence
Dr. Kime, PH.D.
VLR Journal of Social Science http://vlripower.ning.com/group/social-scientists? In his recent paper, my colleague Doctor Blanchard explained in detail the evolutionary factors that underlie black inferiority. What remains to be explored however is the full extent of the impact this has had on the specie’s potential for socio-cultural development. I need not point out that the negroid tribes have failed throughout every point in history to reach anywhere near the level of sophistication of white civilization in any respect whatsoever; what has caused me to take an interest in the inferiority of their language is that it carries the unique property of having little to no effort made to conceal it. Indeed, I have even read reports of negroids occasionally attempting to speak to humans. Thus, I find it to be one of the easier inadequacies for the social scientist to observe at a safe distance. One does not have to be a linguist to note that the African’s native dialects display a verbal level akin to any white infant. Very seldom will one hear anything resembling words in their speech; it is easy to see that their communication consists chiefly of primitive noises such as clicks and relies largely on savage body language. In extreme cases, the negroid`s attempt at speech may even bear resemblance to that of the Paul. But the crudeness of native African society is well known and I find giving it a lot of time to be redundant. Thus this paper will rather focus on the analysis of the attempts made in recent centuries to assimilate the negroid into the civilized way of life offered in North America. I will not deny that the white man has been of considerable help ever since kindly inviting those of the negroid people who wished to voluntarily visit his land and learn of the right/white way of life. And how the white man has toiled ever since the beasts arrived to give them only the

    In the beginning Locke tells us about “the tide of Negro migration”. During this time in a movement known as the Great Migration, thousand of African Americans also known as Negros left their homes in the South and moved North toward the beach line of big cities in search of employment and a new beginning. They left the South because of racial violence such as the Ku Klux Klan and economic discrimination not able to obtain work. Their migration was an expression of their changing attitudes toward themselves as Locke said best From The New Negro, and has been described as "something like a spiritual emancipation."

This racial discrimination became a reoccurring theme that has lasted well into the twenty-first…

    A haunting narrative, James H. Sweet’s micro-history of the life and times of Domingos Álvares, African Healing, and the Intellectual History of the Atlantic World is a stellar work central to understanding African agency in the eighteenth-century from a bottom up perspective. Traditional historiographies mostly reflect the experiences of the white social and mobile elite consequently, a top down perspective. However, Sweet focuses on the view from below the elite, and chronicles the life of a native African male slave, Domingos Álavrez, between the tumultuous years of 1730 and 1750 consequently, revealing the impact and influences African culture imprinted on the Atlantic world and the America’s.…

    African American Vernacular English has been developing and evolving over generations and generations. The language is a mixture of English language with its own semantic, syntactic, morphological, phonological and lexical rules. It is commonly spoken by the urban working class and middle-class African Americans, and is often identified as an unsophisticated form of dialect despite having similar elements to other languages such as it’s pronunciation, grammatical structure and vocabulary. Although this language is now used commonly and freely, and has adopted an almost comedic profile, it has a deeper, contextual meaning, associated with the time of black inequality and slave trading. Today we will be investigating and comparing two texts from…

    African Americans and Native Americans throughout history have suffered many unmentionable atrocities at the hands of the ‘whites’, whether from eviction of their ancestral lands to the evils of slavery. In Morrison’s Song of Solomon, the Dead family inherited their surname through the ignorance of a ‘white’ man and lost their patriarch at the hands of another ‘white’ man. In contrast to Morrison’s Song of Solomon, Silko’s The Ceremony, Tayo’s people have been forced to evolve due to the invasion of ‘whites’ on their ancestral lands and infiltration into their culture. Consequently, Morrison and Silko reveal through their protagonist that change occurs most conveniently when it has been beneficial to the ‘whites’.…

    Essay On Negroland

    Negroland, written by Margo Jefferson, is a memoir about her life, as wells as others in 1947 Chicago. In the book, Negroland residents acquire “provisional privilege” and aim to live their life’s away from the shadows of their poorer, darker counterpart. What particularly stood out to me the most about Negroland was their black skin, but despite the racially charged era, Negroland members utilized the freedom of opportunities allowed that other African Americans were not afforded. Nevertheless, the privilege they acquired were restricted every time they grabbed those opportunities, and further detained black elites from supporting their middle to lower class African Americans.…

    Intelligence tests are believed to measure intelligence, IQ, and converted into a numeric score. IQ is the cognitive processes, knowledge to solve problems, and reach goals (Shiraev & Levy, 2010). Intelligence varies with each culture as well. The bell curve theory explains that a normal supply of IQ scores is generally divided into three substantial categories, which are people with low, average, and high IQ scores (Shiraev & Levy, 2010). Intelligence scores generated by the bell curve can show that people with high IQs are usually lawyers, doctors, scientists, and so forth (Shiraev & Levy, 2010). The bells curve also explains that people who have low IQs are more likely to be convicts criminals single mothers, drug addicts, and high-school failures, and so on (Shiraev & Levy, 2010).…

    When it comes to non-whites Jacobsen brings into play the prominent ideologies of people in power such as Thomas Jefferson during the antebellum era, “in reason [blacks] are much inferior… in imagination they are dull, tasteless, and anomalous” (Jacobsen, 29). This ideology was also very prominent in science at the time but none more outspoken that Josiah Nott who’s attempts to scientifically prove the superiority of Caucasian people by the “intellectual endowments” Crania Americana [whites] had attained. Nott goes on to elaborate on the peoples of east Africa as, “presenting physical characters more or less hideous; and, almost without exception, not merely in a barbarous, but superlatively savage state. All attempts toward humanizing them have failed.” In short Nott pushes his theory of polygenesis to prove that people do not come from one ancestral line instead many and therefore other lines are inferior. Jacobsen elaborates on the bogus science used to further differentiate whiteness by bringing in these ideologies many of these ideas were framed by the law of 1790 which allowed whites to emigrate to the states but for those considered favorable white certain…

    Colorism between African Americans was no mistake; it was done purposefully to divide the African slave population to make them easier to control. A man by the name of Willie Lynch gave a speech in Virginia 1712 about how to control slaves. In this speech he stated, “I use fear, distrust, and envy for control purposes. These methods have worked on my modest plantation in the West Indies, and it will work throughout the South. Take this simple little test of differences and think about them. On the top of my list is ‘Age’, but it is there because it only starts with an ‘A’; the second is ‘Color’ or shade; there is intelligence, size, sex, size of plantations, attitude of owners, whether the slaves live in the valley, on a hill, East, West, North, South, have fine or coarse hair, or is tall or short. Now that you have a list of differences, I shall give you an outline of action--but before that, I shall assure you that distrust is stronger than trust, and envy is stronger than adulation, respect, or admiration.” Willie Lynch was a smart man with a very insidious agenda that he flawlessly completed. He knew the power of distrust, he knew how to use it to his advantage, and he knew that all he had to do was plant the seed in to the minds of the slaves and it would grow and blossom all on its own and live for many years to come. From his speech stems the terms “light skinned”, “dark skinned” and “good hair”. African American culture even today, three hundred years after this speech was given, is still being led to believe…
