This work sets forth the argument that in the age of (neoliberal)
globalization, black people around the world are ever-so slowly
becoming "African-Americanized". They are integrated and
embourgeoised in the racial-class dialectic of black America by the
material and ideological influences of the Protestant ethic and the
spirit of capitalism as promulgated throughout the diaspora by two
social class language games of the black American community: the
black underclass (Hip-Hop culture), speaking for and representing
black youth practical consciousness; and black American charismatic
liberal/conservative bourgeois Protestant preachers like TD Jakes,
Creflo Dollar, etc., speaking for and representing the black
bourgeois (educated) professional and working classes. Although on
the surface the practical consciousness and language of the two
social class language games appear to diametrically oppose one
another, the authors argue, given the two groups' material wealth
within the Protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism of
corporate (neoliberal) America, they do not. Both groups have the
same underlying practical consciousness, subjects/agents of the
Protestant Ethic and the spirit of capitalism. The divergences,
where they exist, are due to their interpellation,
embourgeoisement, and differentiation via different ideological
apparatuses of the society: church and education, i.e., schools,
for the latter; and prisons, the streets, and athletic and
entertainment industries for the former. Contemporarily, in the age
of globalization and neoliberalism, both groups have become the
bearers of ideological and linguistic domination in black
neoliberal America, and are antagonistically, converging the
practical consciousness of the black or African diaspora towards
their respective social class language games. We are suggesting
that the socialization of other black people in the diaspora ought
to be examined against and within the dialectical backdrop of this
class power dynamic and the cultural and religious heritages of the
black American people responsible for this phenomenon or process of
convergence we are referring to as the "African-Americanization" of
the black diaspora.
