Lupe Fiasco Writes Letter White Supremacy!

Dear White Supremacy,

First of all you are not really that supreme. While 

throughout history White Supremacy it must be 

admitted you have achieved some very dominant 

positions. These positions have been gained mostly 

through force or some biological agent such as 

disease that did a lot of the dirty work for you in 

advance. I mean and anybody can use force on an 

unarmed populous and anybody can have smallpox. 

Not judging, just wanted to point out that having a 

disease that native folks aren’t immune to because 

they’ve never seen it doesn’t make you strategically 

smart or tactically superior, just kind of sick.

And these dominant positions don’t really stand up to 

the test of time that long either. There is nothing about 

you biologically or physically that denotes an innate 

mode of supremacy. For that matter there is also 

nothing about you psychologically, philosophically, 

cognitively, academically, socially, architecturally, 

culturally or even financially that signifies a higher 

position above any other group. And to be diplomatic 

there is nothing about you that denotes innate 

inferiority as well.

So what you really are is something in the middle. You 

are regular. White Regularity is congruent to all other 

forms of regularity i.e. Black, Brown, Etc etc. But in 

regularity there is room for differences and this is 

where White Regularity shines! Each group gets the 

same essential universals. Dance, food, music, etc. 

and it must be admitted that the White Regularity take 

on these universal institutions has been unbelievably 

impressive and a great addition to the total world 

culture.

I mean spaghetti and meatballs , Romeo & Juliet, 

Coldplay, The Tuxedo, lighter that air travel are all 

world class additions to the collective bucket but they 

are no less or more impressive than every other 

regular groups take on the universals either. And if we 

really wanted to get analytical every invention is built 

on inspiration from a previously existing invention so 

the claim of “The Supreme 1st” to do something is 

highly debatable and except for a few exceptions, 

impossible! All things human aren’t born from a 

supreme overlord solely working in isolation.

Things are created in collaboration and in tandem with 

other cultures, knowledge structures and movements 

and more important, People. I mean if those Muslims 

didn’t catalog  all that Greek philosophy for research 

we might not even know who Plato was. Now whether 

this collaboration is forced which is seen so much but 

not exclusively throughout human history does not 

take away the fact that it is done with the help of 

somebody else.

We are supreme as a spectrum of colors in 

collaboration. One color does not dominate the other 

nor can it. Sure Steve Jobs was white. But the guy 

who built the computer was probably Chinese. And the 

girl who wrote the programs for the computer is 

probably from Mumbai. And the raw materials that 

were used to make it where probably first pulled out of 

the ground by somebody in South Africa. And if you 

take this highly collaborated upon piece of high 

technology to an indigenous tribe in the jungles of 

Brazil they’d probably use it as a boat paddle. And we 

can go on and on down or up the rabbit hole all day 

long and you’ll always find a regular somebody relying 

on the abilities of a just as regular somebody else that 

another regular somebody doesn’t even care about.

White Supremacy is a lie white regularists tell to 

themselves in hopes that they can get a one way 

ticket to the top and hope we other colors overhear it. 

Here’s the bad news, ain’t no top. Here’s the good 

news though, ain’t no bottom neither! It’s just the 

regular ole middle where nobody is safe from being 

influenced by somebody else’s extreme regularness. 

Is your swastika flag printed  in Mexico? Did you know 

the swastika is officially from Asia and the 

subcontinent? Did you know black people had slaves 

in Africa too? Did you know in the world your 

considered a minority too?

I mean you call us niggers and beaners but you gotta 

ship all your former Native Americans land backwood 

sourced ginseng to China to get money to support 

your meth habit. Meth that’s made with chemicals 

produced in India. I mean Hitler hated everything 

about the Jews expect every possession they had. It’s 

funny how the things you hate so much you have to 

rely on the most for your survival.

And if you wanted to get really ironic and meta about 

it, White Supremacy has to validate it’s on identity 

based solely on its relationship to other races! I mean 

now that’s what I would call joined at the hip. Without 

us there is no white supremacy because there would 

be nothing to supreme over! That sounds so stupid but 

sometimes the truth is stupid. Stupid like a fox. And no 

not stupid like a Fox News I mean the real fox. The 

animal. 
In closing white regularity (the race formerly 

know as white supremacy) I myself on behalf of my 

own black regularity salute you. Good luck with the 

northwest front I hear it’s beautiful in the spring and 

probably a strategic death trap if and when 

Yellowstone finally decides to blow up!

Yours Truly
