there’s correlation btwn the illegibility of consent, digital or otherwise, for black gays and the illegibility of racial fetishism.

you can’t see the problem of digitally circulating a black body against its wishes bc so many of you agree to your own fetishistic circulation.

everyone involved knows exactly what they are doing: generating public opinion around the “success” and formidability of Diddy’s legal team implicitly engenders a social environment where his victims are believed less—this is r*pe culture 101.

Nikki Giovanni in conversation with Margaret Walker:

“We find that love is not the opposite of violence. Love does not stop violence.”

don’t mean to drag it out but that’s exactly what racial fetishism calls for: illogical, self-contradictory, ambivalent desire for black flesh.

that’s why niggas be on y’all head so much about interracial coupling—it’s necessarily untrustworthy and psychically inconsistent.

ten years ago, today, Tamir Rice was taken from a world that never deserved him in the first place.

I hope Samaria Rice is somewhere being held.

rest in eternal power, Tamir.

“one of the craziest things about being queer…” only to go on to say some queerphobic heteronormative shit.

there are plenty of black people who live in asheville, specifically—the mountains have never “belonged” to white people nor have they ever only been occupied by white people.

[da’shaun | they/them @DaShaunLH]

the south doesn’t & has never “belonged” to white people. they ravaged it, stole from it, sought & fought to oversee it, but they have never been successful at driving us out. suggesting otherwise only supports the narrative created by the colonizers who keep us buried.

[da’shaun | they/them @DaShaunLH]

as a nigga from north carolina with friends and family in/from asheville (and western nc, more generally), this narrative infuriates me. it’s largely the reason why i wrote this back in 2021. https://t.co/ChUp0PPc1h

[da’shaun | they/them @DaShaunLH]

suggesting (or outright saying) that the people in the mountains of western NC “got what they deserved” aids in the ongoing white supremacist effort to erase the rich and complex history of black and indigenous appalachians. there are niggas under that water, too.

The cultural currency this album holds will always trump any Grammy snubs, tbh.
