Then you’re all kinds of “counter-revolutionary”, “comprador”, “segregationist”, “genocide enthusiast”( thanks Horsh, never gonna let go of what happened to Prof. Flowers on my life), or my personal favorite, the one I’ve been called more times by white people on this site than any site I’ve ever been on, “black supremacist”.
Then they wonder why I have so little faith in them that I don’t even regard a ‘left’ in this nation that isn’t predominantly Black or Indigenous.
It’s especially bullshit because the closest we’ve gotten to an actual communist revolution in the US was the Black Panther Party. Hell, that might even be the closest we’ve gotten to any sort of leftwing revolution in the first world along with the IRA. Both movements were directly opposed by whites in North America and by basically everyone in Europe. Not even the Red Army Faction in Germany had the momentum of the Panthers, despite using way more violence.
Then there’s the Nation of Islam, which obviously was reactionary and not leftist. You could probably even make the argument it was black supremacist. The NoI still did more for civil rights in this country than any group of whites ever has or ever will. Even things white leftists take for granted were done by the NoI.
If they’re calling you a supremacist they have no idea what anything approaching a “black supremacist” really looks like. Was reminded of this exact thing, aside from interactions with hotep family members over the holidays, from FD Signifier’s drake beef coverage; paraphrasing “Aubrey didn’t mention any of Kendrick’s 5 Percenter connections that would be better fuel because he literally doesn’t know about this stuff, he doesn’t understand it at all”. The idea of white hexbears calling anyone here “black supremacist” lmao
the concept of ‘critical support’ goes RIGHT out the window
“Critical Support” means “if I say this you can’t criticize me”. There’s hardly any actual critical support - it’s either completely uncritical jerking over orthodox opinions, or vague signaling towards “support” that crumbles immediately (actually the usual thinly veiled white racist bullshit.)
I had hella radical family members during the heyday of BPP, but like all things Amerikan, that kinda melted away to aesthetics
now that I can’t ask her, what she saw
Always how it is huh. Had uncles who were with the BPP in Chicago, were friends with Muhammad Ali, were traveled and read and deep into the radical culture, and I was just too young or too distant from them. Passed a long time ago now, wish I could ask them what they thought
then again,
great grandma said to my mom many many years ago “if you don’t care for family (like u said, real family) like me while I’m around, don’t come to my funeral acting like you cared when I’m gone. I will get up out of the coffin and slap the hell outta you”, so maybe those family rifts I was too young to be aware of were pretty deep
It’s still my stance that the only reason Farrakhan is still alive is because he sold somebody to the FBI. I can’t immediately prove it, I don’t have the receipts, but my gut tells me there’s kin-blood on that man’s hands.
It was announced last year and I think the actual trial starts in 2025. They’re getting subpoenas and whatnot, plus requests using the Freedom of Information Act.
But like everyone knows those weren’t rogue members of the NoI acting on their own. Elijah Muhammed, one of his sons, or Farrakhan ordered the hit and law enforcement helped them do it.
the concept of ‘critical support’ goes RIGHT out the window as soon as these settlers see melanin.
Then scold us for not supporting a white chud committing chud-on-chud violence lmao. Yes, it’s good when fascists kill one another. No, we do not have to continue helping them. I’m not losing any sleep over some CEO getting shot. I also won’t lose any sleep if his killer (a racist, homophobic, sexist asshat) gets tossed in prison.

This is still ongoing:
