      when someone calls me a supremacist

      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.

      This is still ongoing:

      Malcolm X assassination lawsuit

      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.
