 Black nihilism

Yet what is crucial to note is that Coates’ racial pessimism is tied to a larger philosophical movement known as ‘black nihilism’, of which he is not so much its architect as its sycophantic and ardent devotee. Black nihilism is an anti-philosophic movement, intellectually out of focus, and against – as its advocates state – philosophy, hope, metaphysics, epistemology, redemption, liberal democracy, free markets and even the grammar of liberation itself. Its best articulation can be found in Calvin L Warren’s essay ‘Black Nihilism and the Politics of Hope’, published in the New Centennial Review in 2015.


Warren writes that black nihilism is a political philosophy that advocates an end to black emancipation through politics, and characterises any form of political hope as pointless. ‘Black suffering is an essential part of the world’, Warren writes, ‘and placing hope in the very structure that sustains metaphysical violence, the political, will never resolve anything’. Black nihilism, he continues, speaks of a ‘blackened world’ that will ‘put an end to the word itself’.

I support the Ice Cube's “Contract with Black America.”  This contract features a preface written by Darrick Hamilton, who is among the most respected and well known Black economists in the US and rightfully calls for “a blueprint to achieve racial and economic justice” through polices that promote wealth creation, home ownership, small businesses criminal justice reform, and voting rights.  I would support parts of the “Contract”  that are reflected in what the Trump administration has called its “Platinum Plan” with election time appeals to Black voters if and only if that 'platinum plan' is refined  (like here , here , here ,   also see here , here  [other side view],  here , here , here , here , here , here for more of my views on blacks being Republicans/DJT supporters as reflected by others) If Republicans really want to lure black voters to their side, maybe the first thing that Republicans should do is allow blacks to vote /s Ice Cube’s seeming alliance with Donald
