so strange that the US government's anti-cuba document has an entire section dedicated to declaring pan-africanism, revolutionary new afrika, etc. as enemy ideologies when according to very serious xitter anti-imperialists, theyre actually "israeli/zionist" or whatever.
you really don't have to invest that much time into afropessimism as a framework or discourse if you really read your 60s and 70s black underground/pulp fiction im ngl. nigga if you read wright's late novels you'll be halfway there
This is what Fanon called the 'pitfalls of national consciousness.' You are taking Lumumba—a revolutionary, anti-colonial, materialist fighter—and reducing him to a religious prop. They cannot celebrate his actual politics because those politics threaten the order they serve.
@olkc5ok To be fair, research experience is super important in the acceptance process. Having publications in undergrad is less so. That’s something that *might* help your chances, but definitely won’t *hurt* your chances
wrote about YG's "Tiffany," a repugnant woefully executed storytelling track made even worse because it thinks it's extending an olive branch to the LGBTQ+ community, for this week's Five Songs at @hearingthingsco https://t.co/zNjbLpsIFV
@JJJ4Y0_O You can definitely say you don’t care about frameworks. But it’s be wrong to assert that as some correct, undebatable position. But yeah, your critique does seem to be less about AP as such and more about knowledge production more generally. That makes sense to me
@JJJ4Y0_O That’s an assumption that can be debated. And again, youre talking about the conclusion - that the modern world is antiblack inasmuch as racial slavery is its constitutive structure. That says little about how, or how not to, combat this state of affairs. No amount of self
i hope everyone listening to our remix album can sense how intentional we tried to be in putting it together, and that it could still make sense ten years from now. every producer on there is timeless, to me https://t.co/qPZhyHclG8
