Black heteros are never going to move beyond family authoritarianism because it’s their only source of power
What Black ppl feel like they lose under racial capitalism, they gain under family conditions that mimic the state’s brutality
Dark skinned girls get suspended more in schools. Dark skinned girls are more susceptible to the school to prison pipeline. In certain countries dark skinned people can't work in certain industries. You think a man finding me beautiful erases the systemic violence of COLOURISM?

Fascism works best when it convinces you that you have no responsibilities to other people. When you turn away from community, when you deny responsibility, when you devalue other lives, when you refuse to witness, this is how genocide is sanctioned.
Please do panic over this acceleration in fascism. But please also do not pretend that it came out of nowhere. If the fascism is only just now reaching your doorstep that’s because you’ve spent your life benefiting from the fascism others have been subjected to. Listen to them.
If you haven’t peeked in the underbellies of porn, kink, hookup culture, apps, bathhouses, etc it’ll be more difficult to grasp the inner workings of the antiblack interracial social ecology. Where people can be anonymous, they can be honest. Public discussion is rarely honest.
