  • but if there’s any truth at all to this “class consciousness” thing, both of you have an interest in being allies more than enemies.

    Maybe you’re right, but again, we loop right back around to “‘leftists’ whose ‘leftism’ stops at the red line, stops at putting money on a political prisoner’s commissary, stops at even CONSIDERING any kind of intersectional approaches that doesn’t see a cracker (and usually a male one at that) in the driver’s seat”. I’ve seen too many of them and too much of that.

    The only subjects-of-empire that I have time or patience for, for the foreseeable future, unless the unthinkable happens and common trends among the Amerikan left start reversing (with regards to the paternalist reflex, with regards to the “we don’t have a race issue just a class issue” complex, with regards to white so-called “leftists” still pearl-clutching over Black nationalism when half the Black revolutionaries y’all uplift were nationalists first and communists second if at all in some cases) are my folk and the tribes who got done just as dirty. I’m not looking to alliance with white folk like that. Certainly not first, certainly not second, maybe not even third.

    Like I said. You might be right; but at this point, you can’t pay me to put my faith on that dice roll anymore. That’s no eleven, that’s snake-eyes.

















  • I mean, ‘cracker’ isn’t really a slur given your average White Amerikan still tacitly and vociferously supports slavery via support for “tough-on-crime” politicians that funnel subjects-of-empire through the for-profit prison system/carceral slavery complex.

    I just call 'em what they are at this point.
