black & other colonized people, have been beaten into submission, ideologically via colonial christianity & liberal pacifism, and thinking we are better people (in which we are for other reasons) for accepting our colonial subjugation won’t end in us being rewarded by our masters

this idea that individual whites or the white power structure at-large is gonna wake up one day, and realize “oh you’re not all violent animals wanting revenge? here are some human rights!” is ahistorical at-best, but actively buys into harmful “docile negro” tropes

wherever the slaves, colonized, dispossessed, and superexploited resides—there will and has always been rage, armed struggle, and revolt. history proves this. you can hide from it, postpone the inevitable, whatever. history shows it’s the most effective approach.

there’s a reason empire has spent trillions of dollars repressing scientific socialist & pan-africanist ideology and movements—both domestically and abroad—whether through coup d'etat, destabilization, assassinations, mass propaganda and incarcerations, etc.

and until we stop asking, begging, and pleading to the conscience of those who have proven time and time again not to have one, and finally collectively accept the reality of what needs to be done... people will continue to die
