Two things made me want to write this article about the impossibility of Black heroes in mainstream media. Working from home, I tend to hit the gym on my lunch breaks. The song “Mighty Wings” by Cheap Trick came on in my workout playlist, putting scenes Top Gun into my mind as I unracked the squat bar. The second catalyst is Ricky Manner’s recent video about the Black James Bond.
There Should Never be a Black James Bond
The image of Black men is far from suave and debonair. We may have Idris Elba, but that’s about it. The media portrays Black Masculinity as savage, purely physical with no intellect or thoughts of tactics or strategy. If we are not being portrayed as feckless or feminine, we are brutes at best.
James Bond is known for his ability to think his way out of situations, something that low-IQ Blacks are incapable of doing. Bond is known for wooing beautiful women all over the world, something that Blackcels absolutely cannot do. Trailer Trash Becky does not have the launch codes, so no, Tyrone, she does not count. Finally, and most obviously, a Black man would stand out like a sore thumb in Russia. If the KGB did not get him, Тесак certainly would.
Personally, I think that it would be cool to have Black supporting characters in a Bond film. It would also be feasible to have a Black special forces operative as an original character in their own movie. A Black man that gets attractive women or can succeed in espionage outside of the hood or Africa is beyond the realms of feasibility, even in the fantasy of the silver screen.
Could there have been a Black Maverick?
I seriously doubt it. While there have been a handful of Black Naval Aviators in history, such as Jesse LeRoy Brown, a character like Maverick could likely never be depicted by a Black man. Firstly, non-Black audiences would never be enthusiastic about seeing a Black hero on-screen. Secondly, when it comes to romance, Black people are not seen as attractive. As a Black man, I cannot believe depictions of interracial couples in media since non-Black women are not attracted to Black men.
Yes, dear readers: White people, Asian people, Hispanic people, et. al. generally do not like Black people as a whole. They never have and they never will. From their perspectives, there is nothing to like. It doesn’t matter if you voted for Trump, “invented rock and roll music,” “are emulated by the youth the world over,” are one of the good ones, etc., you will never have the same social value or acceptance as other races. That dream must be shot from the sky now. Just like Maverick had to let go of Goose, “You have to let that dream go, Sir.”
Even if we were to separate, however, the current Black culture, steeped in matriarchy and Marxism, would not allow for [quality] Black heroes in media. Any man that exhibits masculine qualities, gets attractive women, or strives to be the best will be knocked down under neo-Marxist beliefs. Exceptionalism offends the wokety-woke leftoids just like Black Exceptionalism offends the non-Blacks.
How this Ties into Politics
Despite knowing that the Political Right is racist and hates me, I still lean rightwards politically. In all honestly, the Left is racist as well, on top of the culture that they promote being a slow-acting poison that gets people and peoples to destroy themselves. Leftoid culture does not celebrate excellence, nor does it inspire true greatness. If the “evil” of racism is a constant for both sides, I have to make my choice based on other factors.
The main reason why Black Conservatives are hated in the Black Community is their desire to bootlick members of other races for acceptance. Brandon Tatum and Candace Owens are examples of such c00nservatives. The fact is that many on the Black Left want a hug from the White man (or White “woman” with a dick, because that’s how they get down on their side) just as much as tap-dancing Republic00ns want their butter biscuits.
There is another way, however. The true Black Conservative is a realist that knows that he will always be unwanted by other races. He instead takes his conservative beliefs to build and defend for his own kind. As of now, his kind will be small. Most Blacks are drawn to feel-good Afrocentric rhetoric, illusions of being included by other races, or Leftoid and Marxist drivel. The Black Conservative will lead a difficult life of constant struggle to prove his worth and attract his race to his methodology and philosophy. It is likely impossible to succeed, but this is the only way to survive and thrive as far as I can see.
Succeed, and you will be a real hero. Perhaps then we would not need fictional characters to feel good about our existence.
