Progressive liberals clearly believe that one of the fundamental functions of black people is to be the vanguard for liberal progressivism. It goes all the way back to slavery and then the fight for civil rights, extending therefrom forward to other things: gender inequality, homosexual discrimination, transgender discrimination etc.

Because of the absence of tangible long-term civilizational goals, progressive liberals seek meaning in life by pursuing arbitrary goals like absolute liberalism and multiculturalism, which are unfortunately pernicious.

Why should black people need to continuously and continually fight racism within multicultural/multiracial societies instead of living exclusively in their own independent society where racism against them then doesn't exist?

Why should black people always be looking forward to celebrations of "the first black person" to accomplish x? Why should black people always be fighting for representation in x or y? Why should black people remain a pitiable underdog minority group in all things?

Why couldn't black people simply live exclusively in their own society where all the people with power and control are black and racial discrimination doesn't exist?

Progressive liberals do not have cogent answers to these questions, nor do they want to accept the obvious solution. To this sort of argument, they like to come back with something about how differences in people always create conflict and discrimination and that you are always going to need to solve this sort of problem.

Which is broadly true, and sounds reasonable, but doesn't actually address the question. Discrimination of different kinds are not equal in magnitude and harmfulness. Racism specifically can be solved in this sort of way. Other problems of discrimination will continue to exist within homogeneous racial communities, yes, but you at least get to solve one problem permanently.

The obvious truth to anyone particularly discerning is that the lives of progressive liberals are empty. They have nothing tangible and long-term to do with their lives and thus fill the void with liberal progressive activism. Deep down, emotionally and psychologically, and even they may not realize this, they do not want the problems solved. They need these problems to have things to do with themselves.

Thus, liberal progressives do not actually want any social problems solved, and since contemporary liberal progressivism originates from the civil rights movement, black people get used forever as the vanguard for all liberal progressive activism.

Lots of nonliberals believe similar unhelpful things about black people. Lots of people are pretty comfortable with the idea that black people are supposed to be entertainment fodder (media and sports), including most black people.

There is a popular idea that blacks are especially good at these sorts of things. That black people are good jumping up and down and doing things with their bodies in interesting ways, and or striking a tune.

Lots of black people (especially "African Americans") are very comfortable with this sort of popular belief. Lots of African Americans are happy to brag about it even. Heck, the majority of demographic African American representatives appearing regularly in the mainstream media are entertainment celebrities.

Black people are often pushed as socially "cool" and anyone black is often expected to fulfill a specific social function. This isn't only true in the US. Because of the global dominance of American media and pop culture, the idea has been exported to the rest of the world so that Africans as blacks are expected to perform the same sort of role when they find themselves in foreign societies.

Most black people themselves see nothing wrong with all of this. It is hard to convince even most black people that the role of a black person shouldn't be a marginal hanger-on in a foreign society. Most Africans (especially West Africans) will defend to death their right to become modern slaves in foreign societies. They do not realize the hidden dangers of abandoning their homeland to become economic migrants in foreign societies.

You have Africans who move to foreign societies (usually Western) as adults and then immediately adopt the liberal progressive script, moaning about racism and minority status. Why couldn't they fight to reform their homeland so that they do not have to move to foreign societies to harp about racism? The liberal progressive script has no cogent answers to these sorts of questions.

The problem is bad enough that lots of black people in Africa cannot conceptualize the idea of talented people using their talent to raise the developmental waterline of their own society. The moment anyone deemed exceptional breaks through, the conversation very quickly shifts to how that person can be exported to a foreign society (usually Western) to serve that society. There is a popular belief that exceptional people are too good for their local African society and thus have to be sent to "higher people". No one thinks about the second, third-order effects of all of that. If all the best people in Africa are always sent away to become slaves in a foreign society, how does Africa ever develop?

All of these stuff is very embarrassing to anyone with self-esteem and dignity. The idea that the best that a black person can be is a slave who is an eternal minority moaning about racism and is somewhat useful as entertainment fodder is terribly demeaning. The universal function of black people is not to be marginal hanger-on leeches. We have dreams and aspirations of our own. We will build our own high-functioning and correctly eternal civilization.
