I recently called into a community radio talk show aimed at how we can overcome the false belief of white superiority. After a lot of suggestions were put forward by other callers, one of the presenters attempted to summarize the comments and eventually said that we need to do the opposite and create Black superiority instead to reach this objective.
Instead of jumping to echo this comment that received an almost unanimous agreement from the other callers, I responded by saying that this was a bad idea because all this'll do is put us in the same situation (and ultimate condition) as white people now are - insecure, guilt ridden and filled with fear etc. That doesn't sound very 'superior' to me. Does it you? My work in creating neo ma'at had already convinced me that positive or right conduct and character is the key to reaching all degrees of superiority within the self. The false ideal that superiority or inferiority can be established by transitory aspects such as physical appearance, wealth or social status etc. can never surpass the general and specific behaviour of an individual. Therefore, the most 'superior' amongst us, are those whose character and conduct is the most right. So, if Black people want to overcome white superiority once and for all, they have to recognise it can't be done directly - or 'face to face'. This is because most whites will do absolutely everything they deem necessary to protect it, as it's the core and foundation of their whole self-identity. And, if it is, I can understand why they'd do so. Black people have had the core of their self-identity ripped from them by whites and look what it's done to us!! So, Black people have to establish (or even re-establish) what I call 'right superiority' in order to achieve this goal and finally win the war. How can they do that you might ask? The answer is to study, practice and teach the 42 laws of Ma'at. ... may your heart be lighter than the feather!
