go back to mexico?

This is a very interesting piece from Seeingblack.com called The Black Man's White Man Fantasies by David Ikard. For me it is a reminder of how some Blacks in the United States are what I would call Afro-Gringos, people who are Black, but still very much Anglo and willing to use what little power they have (through U.S. citizenship, facility with English, knowledge of the "system" etc.) against non-Anglos. It also discusses a certain insanity behind the ways we participate in the oppression of ourselves, and people who should be our allies. Here is an excerpt:

The truth of the matter is that most Black men, whether they will admit it or not, have a love/hate relationship with White men. They covet the ways that White men are able to use their social and economic power to control minorities and women, even as they vehemently repudiate the ways that that power is being used to dominate and control them. It is this phenomenon of complicity in oppression that Audre Lorde had in mind when she noted that the "master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." The point that I am trying to make is simply this: In order to have a serious impact on the dismantling of racial inequities in the twenty-first century, Black men must own up to the ways that they participate in the maintenance of the White male status quo. I am not talking about the "treat-your-woman-as-a-Black-queen-and-take-care-of-your-children" kind of transformation. I am talking about a serious overhaul of the ways that we think about manhood.
