Man, I have that whole c00n brigade on ignore. I don’t even know how you all even entertain them. They’re all reductionist and are significantly less intelligent than they realize. I just can’t indulge certain bullshyt for too long. For example, I’m 100% FBA/ADOS, but according to them, if you disagree with their views which are tinged with right-wing political/autocratic leanings (which overlap with white supremacist racial logics on some Venn diagram shyt)—you’re a tether.
They can’t see they’ve taken on the sensibilities, ideals, and racial underpinnings of their oppressors. I legit saw a poster who is confirmed as black (attended one of the Coli meetups before) making a Civil War “lost cause,” argument a few weeks ago. Think about how twisted your mind has to be to start arguing the perspective that racist whites use to argue why the Civil War occurred (i.e., state rights)? Like, legitimately reflect on it.
These are poor lost souls. They are our wayward brothers and sisters who Fannon was writing about in Black Skin, White Masks. These individuals are gone! You’re not going to reach them by writing novellas online. They’re locked into these rigged binaries that they atomize all phenomena into. If we’re going to move forward as we people, and I believe we can (word to Martin Delaney), we’re going to have to do it without them.
