They call them “Black Devils.” This is meant to define those who are identified as “Black” in the world who work against their own people, race. It is also used to reference the spirit and character of those who are identified as “Black” who engage in criminality, abuse, and harm. These are people of Black identity who by their actions would be called “evil.”
It is rarely mentioned that many “Black Devils” hide behind the discourse and structure of Racism, in direct and theoretical ways. Within the context of a goal of ethical, moral, equitable living, being of “good character,” Racism is a product and system of evil. Racism is a competition between the “races.” “Race” is often defined as a term used to describe a group of people with shared characteristics. Phonetically, we can see how this word also places a subconscious pattern of people belonging to the same group competing against each other.
Racism “rigs” the game with ceilings and limitations often relegated by one’s racial category. Across the spectrum of that system, “Black Devils” sometimes use the screen of race-based oppression to achieve what is available in the “game.”
Definitions of the word “Race”
Encyclopædia Britannica defines Race as “the idea that the human species is divided into distinct groups on the basis of inherited physical and behavioral differences.”
Merriam-Webster’s dictionary gives a secondary definition of Race as “a competition between people, animals, vehicles, etc., to determine which one is the fastest : a contest of speed.”
Etymonline shows how the word evolved from Old English. Race described more of an occupation and a behavior, not a construct to define bodies of people.
“Thus, Africans became the preferred people to enslave, not because of their physical differences, although such differences became increasingly important, but because they had the knowledge and skills that made it possible to put them to work immediately to develop the colonies. They were not Christian, they were vulnerable, with no legal or moral opposition to their enslavement, and, once transported to the New World, they had few options.”

Within the Britannica page on Race, there is further elaboration on “Race” being something created to advocate for slavery during the 18th century. Racism is a system of hierarchy based on separations by color, phenotype, and culture. This hierarchy is what creates the systematic oppression that many face in America and in similar racist societies. As in slavery, the easiest way out has been to take positions which oppress, or to be harmful to the world around, which is often people of their own racial “group.”
Understanding this, we can see how the “Black Devil” both flourishes and emerges. Personally, I do not utilize this phrase to describe evil within the Black consciousness, as with the spell of Christianity it can create a sort of “permission” with ‘God’ and ‘the Devil’ being the forces defining Christian theology and practice. It has a place to take root and make a home for itself to perpetuate unfavorable circumstances.
Undertones of Negativity to Primordial Consciousness with Definitions Associated with Black as an Identity
Much of the world has held a negative view of blackness. There is both fear and hate for the Black identity, which has created extensions of Racism – Colorism, Featurism, Texturism, and especially Classism. There is fear of a loss of status, which often shows up in the areas of interracial and interethnic mating. It has severely blocked the experience of what it means to be a genetic descendant of the Original people. To me, racism is a smudge for the spiritual and of course material development of Primordial consciousness. Often, my identity as a “Black” woman is weaponized via a path of “reminding” me of my physical body when achieving academically and growing spiritually. It is projected as a tool of oppression, a psychic form to control the expression of the Self. If I were any other race, surely it would be something else utilized for adversarial modes. I share this to show that the oppression is not about phenotypic identity, but it is exacerbated in the experience of Black identity.
Without connection to culture and knowledge that exists before the time of slavery, there is difficulty with identifying the self as other than “Black” or “African” (a continent not a people) which gives a sense of not belonging, of not being the self (imposter syndrome), not having natural rights, not having ownership, nor purpose, nor value, and being without land. It creates ungroundedness and social dynamics of self-oppression, a form of harm to the self. Recently, we have been taking on the word “Kebulan,” but anthropological study is required to determine if it is a term from Negroid psyche. “Black” and “African” were words intoned by Caucasian peoples. I like Primordial, as it helps with understanding the totality of the tug-of-war to the experience of natural Sovereignty. Racism is just the soother for people who are not at the top of the hierarchy.
“The name Africa was given to this continent by the ancient Romans and Greeks. However, Alkebulan was not the only name used for the continent. There were many others used throughout history by the people living there, including Corphye, Ortigia, Libya, and Ethiopia. However, Alkebulan is the most common one.” – World Atlas
How to End Racism and Evolve
The simplest way for Racism to end is for races identified as not being the first design of humans to accept that they are not the first, and to not compete with people who descend from the first peoples. Competition for something that one can never be is useless and blocks personal potential. It is much like the younger sibling trying to grow up faster to be on the same level as their older sibling, the obstacle is time.
“View not history as a score keeping system, but an account of events in time.”
– Ausarya (me ;))
Racism persists out of a fear of being an underclass. While it is arguably arduous to reach a level of spiritual and material achievement which is comparable to the First Peoples, the First Peoples were not great simply because they were first to the planet, they built something that has left significant, mostly favorable, impact to this planet. They did the work, they put in the effort, they also educated those who came from afar, who were not “First people,” in the knowledge that could help them achieve and develop their own systems. View not history as a score keeping system, but an account of events in time.
There isn’t as much hate given to the Asian people, who are called Yellow and Brown. I think this is because there is more phenotypic similarity. Even the word often used to describe white bodies has the word “asian” in it. Eurasian people tend to get along better than they do with Afro-cultures. for example, to this day there is little information available on the Siddhi Dravidian peoples of India. Much of the existing information says that they trace their origins to Africa, rather than naturally evolving from the land of India. It is a theory of mine that all phenotypes have existed in all “races” with some possibly being more predominant in certain geographies, with skin color being mostly influenced by the intensity of the skin’s exposure to sunlight.
Appreciate Diversity, it’s natural
I value Black identity, and personally I’m doing the work that cleanses the color of negative emotion, toxicity that creates mental stagnation. Black is beautiful, rich, sweet, and fertile. Be diverse. It is important that we also recognize identity that does not put someone into a programmed and programmable format that separates the personal Self and makes one a slave to the ideology of what it means to be a Black person. I find that the general state of the world is chaotic and severely ungrounded because much of humanity does not have an understanding or respect for nature, thus many cannot know themself. The prevalence of mental health dis-ease comes from the gross misunderstanding of the mind, body, and spirit, which shapes the environment and physiology. Our souls find themselves to be out of alignment, because until now we have been relegated to formats which limit Soul expression.
