hell is on earth,

we, as a people, have survived apocalypse upon apocalypse for 700 years,

so you think I am going to wait for death to be free? I will die trying to liberate myself & my people in every lifetime
I have literally released my attachment to death. I have no control over when it will come knocking at my door, but if there is one thing I will do, is fight to stay alive to tell the story
I get super emotional when I think of it, knowing that parts of my community were victims of human trafficking and were deported to South & North America & the Carribeans.. I think about what it took to survive
Imagination.
Spiritual & physical resistance.
Psychological resilience.
Hope.
Strategy.
Love.

i did a workshop last week w/ a group of yt queer organizers and i told them that their so called « activist fatigue » is b/c they don’t have an embodied liberation practice they can draw from since they spend more time appropriating the knowledge systems of non-yt people instead
of engaging in deep and transformative critic of their whiteness as an all encompassing framework of relatability b/c they refuse to do the nitty gritty work of putting their money and bodies on the line and sacrificing their stolen power.
I told them that a feature of their whiteness shows up in them being fragile, helpless infantilized & victimized constantly waiting for non-yt people to save them from themselves & that it is not a coïncidence that many of them feel a sense of nihilism:

So a non-Black man decided to assault my friend on a tram and got jumped by us.

A yt woman tried to intervene after the fact and had the audacity to say that violence isn’t the answer.

And we proceeded to ask her if she wanted to get jumped too & she ran.
See one thing I practice is I do not affirm or see yt women as my peers and I do not have a lot of empathy for them hence why I don’t feel the need to react with nothing but violence. They deserve all the aggressive smoke for being passive-aggressive enablers.
I will never forget the day one of them touched my hair after I told her not to try. She said bet and I had a lot of pleasure in putting my hands in her hair, pulling get face down to ask her if she wanted my foot in her face.

mais le niveau de dénie génocidaire que le peuple Maghrébin arabophile performe pour éviter de se confronter aux siècles de négrophobie et de violence anti-Noir qu’iels pratiquent religieusement me dépasse.
franchement, je n’ai jamais vu un peuple qui refuse de se confronter à sa contribution historique à la prolifération et la normalisation de la violence et les génocides anti-Noir dans le monde.
Vous avez carrément perfectionné le système d’esclavage par dette et développé les bases éthiques et philosophiques à partir de laquelle vos cousins Blancs ont pensé le racisme pseudo-scientifique ou la naturalisation des hiérarchies humaines par phénotype.

word to Jade Bentil’s concept of *pigmentocracy* because chiiiiiiile the belief that “YT people” see all Black people the same is sincerely one created by the beneficiaries of white privilege by their extremity to Blackness.
I am especially tired of people weaponizing shared internalized white supremacy as a way to bond, instead of critically dissecting how these differing socializations under a pigmentocracy designed to exclude darker skinned people especially *women maintain the system as intact.
IT’s gaslighting at this point & we should be hellbent on exposing these attempts to derail the conversation to center the unresolved survivors guilt of lighter-skinned/ mixed race people who escape the virulence of colorism by virtue of their relational proximity to yt ppl

One day we are really gonna have to talk about the unresolved jealousy and perverted envy non-Black people exercise as a way to appease their anti-Black social anxiety and incapacity to deal w/ the real psycho-social consequences of internalized white supremacy.
The reality of the matter is that anti-Blackness impacts ppls ability to relate, to bond and build authentic intimacy across racial/gender/social/cultural lines. In fact, this hindrance is what manifests as socially regressive and repressive behavior akin to forms of sociopathy.
The interesting thing about this tweet is that this person is making a direct causation w/ the fact that Non-Black muslim women relating and engaging in intimacy w/ Black men is caused by the consumption of porn.

teaching children to harbor boundaries is really amazing. if anything, working as a child educator has allowed me to analyze how adults routinely enter into power struggles with children over their very clear expressions of personal limits.
The issue is that too many educators- including parents- perceive children’s “no” as a reflection of the inadequacy of their education instead of an invitation to understand how their egos regulate their own perceptions of authority. Children expressing their “no” safely
is vital to understanding how they build self-confidence. It is our jobs as educators, to help them explore their emotional autonomy with discernment and for that, we need to learn how to detach.
