"I don't believe in White Supremacy, I believe in Black Complacency" - Lupe Fiasco (nikka what?!?!)

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

You guys got it all wrong.
He said he does not believe in white supremacy.
He didnt say he dorsnt believe it exists... Well not as such..

"White Supremacy is a lie white regularists tell to themselves in hopes that they can get a one way ticket to the top and hope we other colors overhear it," Fiasco wrote. "Here's the bad news, ain't no top. Here's the good news though, ain't no bottom neither!"

Fiasco argued that no one race has contributed more to the world than any other. When you strip away the privilege that whiteness bestows, what you are left with is what Fiasco calls "white regularity."

"There is nothing about [white people] biologically or physically that denotes an innate mode of supremacy," he writes. "And to be diplomatic there is nothing about you that denotes innate inferiority as well...You are regular. White Regularity is congruent to all other forms of regularity i.e. Black, Brown, Etc etc. But in regularity there is room for differences and this is where White Regularity shines!"

That's still dumb as fucc because most people don't speak of white supremacy from a perspective of feeling an inherent inferiority to white people but to describe systematic societal functions that hinder the progress of certain groups specifically and benefit white folk. Noone is bowing down and putting white people on a pedestal when speaking of white supremacy :hehe: if lupe doesn't believe white people are the dominant demographic in society then he's more than an idiot and dangerously delusional

The fact that some black folk choose to name their children western european names over say an african or what someone would say is an identifiably 'black' name because they feel that the 'black' name would potentially hinder their childs chances of success in life is an example that shuts down the shi_e lupe's talking. We all know some companies take one look at a name and if they don't like the 'sound' of it they throw the CV in the bushes regardless of the qualifications. What would lupe say that is? Not white supremacy? Smh lol

If you take "white supremacy" as Frances Lee Ansley puts it:



then yes, it does exist. I don't strictly equate this behavior as "white supremacy" simply because there's been systems like this in history without whites at the helm.

I already explained how I interpret white supremacy. What Ansley states, I interpret as systemic racism (and imo, oppression), and again, does exist.

This is more a misunderstanding of opinion (interpretations).

EDIT: I've always interpreted it as the broader, harsher way (as I had posted). If you take it as how Ansley puts it then yes, we are both agreeing on the same idea in that it's a problem by whatever label you put on it.

You out thinking yaself

That is literally the definition of WAS
So yeah
It's a prob

You are a fukkin idiot

 

[Preach Jackson]

i like the fact that individuals in this thread can discuss white supremacy more effectively than wasalu.

 

[DonRe]

I think he deleted the tweets. Lupe can be a bit of a tryhard to be different in applying altering perspectives on a subject. trying to find nuance where there isnt any.

Sometimes issues have only one solution or one Conclusión.

People will defend ANYTHING if it comes from a person they like

Best post in this thread repped

 

[King Musa]

I fukk with Lupe but, he is being fragrantly goofy with this shyt....

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

The mental gymnastics to defend this bullshyt are so Dr. Larry Nassar would beat off to them in prison. Just imagine if Drake had said this. 10 page at 50/ppp minimum.

Lupe is always purposefully dense and tries to deflect the real narrative and incorporates one that no one is using to be contrarian.

Person A: "Vlad is a culture vulture"
Lupe: "No he isn't, Vlad isn't a vulture, he's actually a mammal, more specifically, he's a homo sapien. Vultures are of a different biological species"

Smart-dumb nikka.

Human cells don't believe in cancer cell supremacy but people die all the same.
