Edit: you know what? Fuck this place. I’m not gonna argue with a bunch of pedantic assholes all day.
A short rant because I got banned for saying that there’s a lot of anti-blackness in the Asian community. (Basically, I said that a lot of people are heavily influenced by the handful of sensationalized reports of homeless mentally ill black people attacking Asian people. I also said that they weaponized their fear to end AA and increase already ballooning levels of mass incarceration.)
I’m tired of black oppression only being relevant when it can be directly used to argue for a larger caused. I’m tired of pointing out obvious racism only for people to turn around and be like, Nu-uh you’re the real racist! I’m tired of having to pretend that I’m not impacted by any of this only for other people to mock the oppression they also pretend isn’t real most of the time. I’m tired of wondering if being alive is even worth it not because I hate myself but because the world is so irrevocably racist, hypocritical and just nasty in general.
Fuck off, man. Hella people before you-- including Asian folk and Black folk on both sides of the line-- have talked about this without making it sound like inflicting carceral slavery on my community was a solution. I recommend Foreign Man in a Foreign Land and Cheyenne Lin for a two-part back-to-back on the subject; but until then, please fuck off; fuck all the way off, and then keep going when you reach Go again. As of right now, I don’t believe your bonafides, and I don’t respect this tryna make your beef with the mods public.
At least when I did it, it was something I could defend and positively fight, how the fuck you gonna defend “I thought the removal of AA and the increase in mass incarceration would’ve pacified them, but apparently not.”??? Ain’t no kinfolk I’ve ever listened to.
And as to your slick little top-level edit about “pedantic assholes” yeah go on and get fucked. Ion’t claim you, neither as skinfolk, as kinfolk, or even as a comrade if you’re so incapable of self-crit. I’d say ‘do better’, but we both know that’d be a waste of electrons, don’t we?
Nope, never.
