This dude's REALLY been trying to tie together the fact that China keeping their own ecosystem is racist and I'm just sitting here tryna not corpse like "oh man how would you feel about Black folk forging their own nation apart from you out of your own guts"

I don't need to ask; I already know based on his trying to throw around "blinded by hate" and other trite liberal muleshit

I just love it when my OGs turn around and commit to paper things that I've been saying.

But if there is another point which is made obvious by this definition and that is that the United States has and is committing genocide domestically and internationally. Of course Black people played the biggest role in making this case beginning in 1951 when the Civil Rights Congress published the pamphlet, “We Charge Genocide ,” and documented the case against the U.S. government. The charges are still valid as Black people have been the group primarily victimized by mass incarceration and all the other impacts of racial capitalism, from denial of housing rights to decent medical care.

If Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, the United States did the same and assisted others in Libya and Syria and Somalia and Yemen and Haiti. This long list of criminality is one of the reasons that Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other officials call South Africa’s charge against Israel “meritless.” If they acknowledge Israel’s genocide it would not only expose U.S. culpability but they would have to acknowledge their own misdeeds as well.

No, I don't care that 'it's more book keeping'; when 5e has kineticists, then we can talk.

The use of Black and brown puppets to distort the racial optics of exploitation was a standard part of colonial administration, and it has remained as a central element of neo-colonialism. It is not at all surprising then that imperialists would use the same strategy in the U.S. where some have characterized the country’s African population as an internal colony of sorts. Amilcar Cabral disagreed with the idea that the predicament of Black people in America is a colonial one, but he also said: “That is not to say that the aims are not the same. And that is not to say that even some of the means cannot be the same.”

If you don't recognize the man in the header image of this article, this is Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry, the "first Black movie star in Hollywood". In the near-constant role of 'Stepin Fetchit'. A literal Vaudeville minstrel, billed as "the laziest man in the world" across more than 40 fuckin films.

Stepin Fetchit is the very face of the Black Misleadership Class. Shucking, jiving, and tapdancing sellouts to the White empire. Genocide minstrels. Imperialist rentboys.

Traitors, in a word. These misleaders will sell anyone and anything for a crumb of 'getting theirs'. Ten years ago? It was Syria and Libya. Today? Palestine and Haiti. Tomorrow? It could be us. The misleadership class might share our skin, but they are not our kinfolk. We need to recognize that, and begin cutting them out with even more rigor than what we used to mind our own with.

Blessed Wednesday, party people; let's get into it. Apparently, we've got some haughty, self-important Hollywood slimeball trying to corral opinions in manners that would be funny if it weren't so sad.

“...the Jews were the ones that walked side by side with the Blacks to fight for their rights. And now the Black community isn’t embracing us and saying ‘We stand with you the way you stood with us’? Jews died for their cause. Where’s the history lesson in that? Who’s teaching these kids? Because the fact that the entire Black community isn’t standing with us, to me, says they don’t know, or they’ve been brainwashed to hate Jews.” - Julianna Margulies

The context here? More cudgeling for support of Israel. She wound up having to walk that nonsense back this past Friday, too, and even then, her 'apology' was just as lacking as the average youtuber's; probably GPT-written to boot.

"I am horrified by the fact that statements I made on a recent podcast offended the Black and LGBTQIA+ communities, communities I truly love and respect,” so on, so forth.

As usual, settlers apologizing that what they said/did/etc. was found offensive; and not actually apologizing for what they did. The, "I'm sorry you feel that way"-type non-pology. I don't want to belabor some Hollywood slime for too long though; 'cause y'all know me-- I like to save my boot-heeling for the government; and as is usual out of me, it's with the sage words of Margaret Kimberley, who just HAS NOT BEEN MISSING since I've started reading her.

It is a bad sign when the leader of the United States Senate sounds something like an actress with bizarre feelings of entitlement. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer pulled off this dubious feat with his statements about U.S. policy towards Israel, what he perceives to be anti-semitism, and public opinion about Israel’s attack on Gaza. His remarks resembled those of actress Julianna Margulies, whose infamous rant differed only in its lack of politesse. Of course, a senator has better political sense and more awareness than an entertainer, but aside from the manner of delivery, their thought processes don’t differ very much.

...

If Schumer and others expect a quid pro quo for their actions they should just say so. “Black lives matter but only if you say what I want you to say for the next few decades,” would be outrageous if spoken out loud but that is the gist of the criticism. There is also an assumption of superiority, a belief that one group has the right to make itself more deserving of sympathy and is entitled to silence others or to say that disagreements amount to bigotry and hatred.

Most importantly, Black people have every right to speak on any issue that we may choose. We have a right to our own politics. We have a right to choose who we will unite within bonds of solidarity. We have a right to praise or to condemn as we see fit. Expecting otherwise is to treat us as supplicants without agency who depend on the whims of others who can then cast us aside whenever doing so is politically convenient.

In essence, if we're expected to just sit down, shut up, and let the Democrats carry out their murderous whims-- (not even 'let', really, because they won't stop bleating, berating, and cudgeling us for uncritical support) -- then the genocidal uniparty has a few new things coming. The only way a subject-of-empire WOULDN'T be able to read the similarities between the Black plight, the Indigenous plight, and the Palestinian plight is if they were stricken blind, deaf, and dumb by the settlers in the first place.

There's no denying there's a good deal of our kin been Sunken Place'd on shit like this. Look at the Congressional Misleader Caucus, or the Black Capitalists playing Pied Piper with their pseudo-cult followings. "I'mma buy up the block but ultimately only buy like .5% of it while smoke-and-mirroring your ass into thinking I'm all that and a bag of donuts". Why my gut keeps saying, "fuck educating or uplifting the settlers-- we need to be figuring out who of our kin is salvageable; and leave the ones that aren't to their inevitable 'reward'."

We need to come together, meaningfully, as one mass, one giant middle finger to the Anglo-Zionist Axis, one cocked hammer against the settler project's skull. There is no future in which anyone is free without it.

No compromise, no retreat, people.

The media misleaders are getting an early start on the 2024 presidential campaign season. Despite the fact that Biden has no competition from any democrat and the party has already said there will be no debates even if a competitor appears, Biden’s weak approval ratings and poor showing in polls vis a vis Donald Trump, have them running scared. They don’t know if Trump’s indictments will prevent him from running or if republican voters will choose him regardless of his legal complications.

What are the misleaders to do under these circumstances? They have to begin the indoctrination process in earnest. This year their work is especially important in light of Biden’s role as accessory to Israel’s killing of more than 20,000 people in Gaza. The outrage felt by millions of people impacted Biden, whose approval rating is now only at 37%, an indication of peril for a sitting president.

Not to worry though. Biden has help from Black pundits like Roland Martin, who in response to Arab-Americans declaring opposition to the man who is killing their people, raised the Trump specter right on cue. “Well @shadihamid @mehdirhasan, I totally get it, but Trump has made clear his Muslim ban goes into effect on day 1 and he will deport all Palestinians and immigrants who support them. His first time will look like recess compared to a 2nd one.”

...

Be prepared for more bamboozlement under the guise of journalism. Understand that Black politics will not be part of any discussion. Making it so would create a problem for people whose goal is to win office while also excluding the people whose votes they need. Media are an important part of sham democracy. No one should expect anything more than, “But Trump!” between now and November 2024.

This is genuinely all they got. The Donna Braziles, the Roland Martins, Colbert Kings, and Symone Sanderses of the world-- minstrels one and all, tap-dancing to the settlers' tune, and trying to fiddle the rest of us along to it like the settlers aren't murdering others the way they murder us.

And that's how they'll do it-- by breathlessly shrieking about the orange hobgoblin THAT THEY MADE IN THE FIRST PLACE like he's ANY different from the rest of them. Democrats and their enablers will never 'earn it'-- they won't even try until it's too late. We need to be walking away and doing for our communities what the settlers would never do for us. Separating from the settler menace, on every conceivable level until we're fighting for the ground we intend to make ours. But never, hand in hand with those who think we're stupid enough to uncritically 'fall in line' behind their Genocider-in-Chief.

No compromise, no retreat.

The horrific scenes of carnage have evoked revulsion for millions of people in the United States and around the world. Huge protests have taken place nationally and internationally and the zionists find themselves on the public relations defensive but will not concede defeat. They are using brute force to dox, damage careers, end careers before they start, withhold funds, and use other means to silence righteous indignation over Israeli war crimes.

Enter the Black misleadership class, which is both vulnerable to pressure and devoid of principles. Not only do they choose to go along to get along, but they always manage to put our collective name in their unscrupulous butt kissing.

Apologies for the long time without a post here. Can't get back into the old account; so if you see it getting buck and out of pocket, that ain't me behind it anymore.

To the meat of the article, "going along to get along"-- this is the root of why I believe we'll never get out from the thumb of genocidal colonials without a state of our own, carved out of Amerika's guts and governed to our own sovereignty-- so that the day comes when the world grows well and truly sick enough of the settler menace to start doing things about them, we can sit back, raise our hands, and say "Do as you will-- we're not with them. In fact, we'll help."

I heard what the new campaign's tagline is supposed to be; and uh. Fuckin lmao. The only jobs he wants to finish involve imprisoning or genociding anyone darker than his nepo-baby failson.
