What you’re seeing is people expose DEEP limitations. From Nore for reasons @BreakingBrown posted on “Special Ed”, to the people commenting. This is a failure bc Nore has now made himself the story. This is never suppose to happen. The journalist is now the STORY for apologizing? ImageImage
Many people are showing the effects of watching gossip reality TV & daytime judge shows for years. Nore broke a cardinal rule & made himself the story. To the point we’re not discussing the context of Kanye. This is a low brow model of busy work content digestion. Zero focus.
It is this busy work style of digesting that @kanyewest and the rest of the #decadentveil play on to keep attention. It’s the lowest form of getting eye balls. And far too many of you are getting DEGREES and digesting content this way. It’s a sad sort of internal social collapse. Image

Re the #LACityCouncil a brief thought on some emerging dangers of #antiBlackness.

Anglo whiteness is particularly self-referential, unable to recognize the codes of other histories of whiteness. For example anglos read all latines as non-white.
1/
The xenophobia with which anglo whites try to racialize latine whites is real and harmful, but it is also real that white latines, whether in the US or farther south, have access to powerful, genocidal modes and histories of whiteness and settlerness.
2/
It's not a repeat of how the Irish & Italians became white, since the upper classes of Latin American countries are already white, some are full on settler states, etc. But the infamous reactionary tendencies of newly white Italians & Irish, for ex., might be a cautionary tale.
