What is the Black Alien Self Disorder?

What is the Black Alien Self Disorder?

The alien-self disorder represents that group of individuals who behave contrary to their nature and their survival.

They are a group whose predominant behavior patterns represent a rejection
Of their natural and culturally valid dispositions.

They have learned to act in contradiction to their own life and well being
As a consequence they are alienated from themselves.

These are growing numbers of Kmtyw-Americans in recent years that have
Been socialized in families with primarily materialistic goals.

They see themselves as basically material beings and evaluate their worth by the prevalence of material accoutrements which they possess.

These families are usually preoccupied with materialistic goals, social affluence
And rational priorities (to the exclusion of moral objectives).

These alien-self persons have been socialized to deny critical social realities
Particularly as they relate to issues of race and oppression.

They are encouraged to ignore blatant inequities of racism and to view their
Lives as if slavery, racism and oppression never existed.

They have learned to pretend in ways inconsistent with their valid cultural identity and their survival.

They are a group characterized by behaviors that represent a rejection of themselves and anyone who is socially or culturally identifiable as being like them.

These are individuals whose primary behavioral patterns contradict those things that would insure their cultural well being and the welfare of their socially and culturally appropriate group.

They have learned to pretend that there is really no social difference between them and the descendants of their historical oppressors.

They live in complete denial that there are forces of injustice threatening their collective survival. They are encouraged to always adopt the perspective of the dominant culture even if it means a condemnation of self.

The outcome for the alien-self disorder is a symptom picture not dissimilar to the rather traditional neurotic in cauceurasian society.
This is a person who condemns their natural identity and characteristics and attempts, ineffectively, to live in a dream world.

Such persons are usually wrought with anxiety, tension and existential stress.

They remain in conflict as to their true identity and go from one social charade to another.

A typical example is the sorority socialite who becomes the miserable suburbanite playing at happiness in a glass palace. They are burdened with sexual problems and perversions because the natural sexual disposition has either been excessively restrained or accentuated for the purpose of attracting attention to themselves for the wrong reasons.

Conclusion
This alien-self disorder is occurring with alarming frequency in middle class and
professional Kmtyw-American communities. Affectations best describes the person with the alien self-disorder they speak, walk, dress, act even laugh as they visualize the dominate group. At great pains they live in neighborhoods predominantly or exclusively populated by other ethnic groups; their children attend the same exclusive school of the most elite of the dominant group;
they attend exclusive churches and aspire to join exclusive clubs. Their major obsession is to be the only, the first or one of a precious few of the racially oppressed group to which they belong. The outcome for the alien self person is that they belong to neither group

I nominate this story for today's "Black Alien Self Disorder" award.
 
Stoudemire to explore his 'Hebrew roots'
 
Amare Stoudemire already knows some Hebrew phrases and sports a Star of David tattoo. Now he's come to Israel to explore what might be his Jewish heritage. The five-time NBA All-Star who recently signed with the New York Knicks is on a weeklong visit to learn about Israel, its language and religions. He believes he has "Hebrew roots" through his mother, Carrie. "She studied the Scriptures and history and she believes she is a Hebrew," he told The Associated Press Friday in Jerunited snakeslem. "I grew up in a very spiritual home. It's not about religion, it's about spirituality for me."
Stoudemire said he was "soaking up the culture" with his girlfriend and a few other friends from home.
 
He has long suspected his Jewish lineage -- Judaism is passed down through the mother's side. Stoudemire's agent, Happy Walters, said his client is a "student of history" and is "exploring religions in general."
He added that Stoudemire may turn to a genealogist when he returns to New York to dig deeper. The 6-foot-10 forward signed a five-year, $100 million contract with the Knicks three weeks ago. He will now be playing in the city with the largest Jewish population in the United States.
 
The NBA features two Jewish players: Israeli Omri Casspi of the Sacramento Kings and Jordan Farmar of the New Jersey Nets. When Farmar joined the Los Angeles Lakers in 2006, he became the NBA's first Jewish player since Danny Schayes -- son of Hall of Famer Dolph Schayes -- retired in 1999. Stoudemire said he's spoken to Casspi a few times about Judaism, "but we didn't go into details about it."
 
Stoudemire has begun studying Hebrew and his Twitter page features such words as "Shalom," "Le'chayim" and "ze ha'halom sheli," Hebrew for "this is my dream." "It's great," he said. "Hebrew is the original language."
On Twitter, he also called himself "the new Reggie White," saying "I'm going 2 Israel 2 study Hebrew. It's time 2 get a better understanding on who we R."
 
White, the late NFL star who was an ordained minister, traveled to Israel late in his life and studied Hebrew to learn Scripture in its original form.
Stoudemire spent his first eight NBA seasons with the Phoenix Suns, where he won the 2003 Rookie of the Year award and became one of the league's dominant players. Now, his possible Jewish ties have stirred interest in Israel, with bloggers dreaming he could one day join the Israeli national team. Stoudemire, however, laughed that off.
"I'm looking forward to playing in the 2012 Olympics," he said. "For the united snakes."

"we always following something without studying its origin" ~ Baba John Henrik Clarke

he believe he has hebrew roots because his mother studied the scriptures and believe she was hebrew??!!!

[Oluwole]

@ Akua, that's what I took from it. It does not sound like it took much to convince either of them, maybe because they were looking for something outside of themself to run to??!!

[Akua Ma'at]

not at all. but as Baba John Henrik Clarke pointed out, during our enslavement we wanted to identify with a people who had escaped from something. given what we were going through at the time its easy to understand how thoroughly we embraced these hebrews we heard about who supposedly escaped enslavement in Kemet. and now, today, many of us are still holding on tight, with both hands, to these stories that came to us through our enslavement... to the point where we want to be the people in these stories rather than be ourselves. we're still in slave mode.

there can be no lasting Abibifahodie without complete reKmtywization and dewhitenization. there can be no complete reKmtywization and dewhitenization without a spiritual reKmtywization and dewhitenization.

To paraphrase Dr. Clarke, Black people would have been better off if they had never opened a bible.
