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
