#i also have raised in souf

[siryouarebeingmocked]

Apparently "an assailant using a weapon" is a "hyperspecific situation", and not something that happens in, um, most assaults. According to FBI stats.

I've even read that female domestic abusers are more likely to use weapons, specifically because the man is bigger and stronger.*

I even provided an example of a woman using a nailfile to stab her larger husband to death. After he tried running away, and she chased him around the neighbourhood. Exactly like people in the thread explicitly said men should do instead of raise a hand to a woman, ever, under any circumstances.

Because, they said, any man or teenage boy can easily subdue any woman without hurting her.

Meanwhile, the victim headbutted his killer and that didn't save him.

And as I've said before, I don't want to hit anyone, ever, in my life, even if I have justification, and this is not about me. It's about the idea that men as a group still need to hold back when a woman is assaulting them, based entirely on gender.

Not on the actual circumstances.

Asking people questions about where their exact limit is...is not some kind of trick question.

Y'all keep making it personal, no matter who brings it up, because you're insecure.

And sexist, of course.

Which is why y'all never have any real counterargument.

Also, I like how Souf blocked me, but is still commenting on my posts where I can't respond to them at all, so their stans can prop up their ego.

*That link is not where I read the second part. Which was speculation anyway.

souf-v-staff-rematch: Hitting women is always wrong, no matter what argument you make.

People, including me: Men should be permitted to hit women in self defense, just like with men. Sometimes those women are armed and dangerous.

Me: In fact, here’s an example of a woman who stabbed a larger man to death with just a nail file.

Idiots: Well, obviously, people who say “don’t hit women” don’t include self-defense! Wasn’t that obvious from their complete lack of qualifiers?

souf-v-staff-rematch: [blocks me]

souf-v-staff-rematch: [spends three posts begging strangers for validation without a single actual criticism of the argument]

I also like how Souf describes himself as “handsome and funny” and not, y’know, “smart”.

You know the funniest part?

People like Souf take “I think everyone should have the right to actively defend themselves, even against women”, and turn it into, “oh, so you’re a man waiting for the slightest excuse to hit a woman?”

They obviously can’t argue against the actual point without looking like like (more of) a sexist jerk, and they automatically think of the person as “threat to women”, which translates to “man” by default.

Even though loads of women hold that exact same view.

Including one in the thread.

Just in case I haven’t made it GLARINGLY obvious.

I, also, hate white supremacism and ethnoseparatist identitarianism. And that’s WHY the current trends and discourse offends me so god damned much. So much of it is hypocritical bullshit and hand-holding to drag it down a really dark corridor, by design.

I hate the David Dukes and Richard Spencers of the world. Which is why it’s so infuriating to see people support those that, for all intents and purposes, are just those figures but black and brown, holding them up as opposition to white supremacism just because they have a vested interest in rivaling the KKK. Just because they hate bad people, doesn’t make them good or reputable.

That’s why it pisses me off so much when people start their conversations with, “White supremacism sucks, am I right?” And then follow that up with, “So my idea of reversing it is to put everybody but white people into their own elevated status category for free shit and protected status on the basis of their culture and racial purity communities.”

When I say I hate that shit, it’s not sour grapes because I want the same thing for white people, I’m saying that shouldn’t be a thing for anybody on the basis of race. The Aikido flip is, and historically always has been in conversation, someone raising their voice and spinning that as someone objecting to special racial treatment or even consideration, as just mad that white people aren’t getting it, or getting it in the exclusion of others. They scream, “the racially just thing is to flip the script for a while!” Except, no, that’s not justice. That proves you STILL see things on the basis of race, you just want who the society designates as the arbitrary inheritors of racial wealth to change hands. That’s not equality or justice, it’s juxtaposition.

Justice would be NOBODY gets an undeserved benefit just for being one color or another and race and culture stops being an institutional factor, pro or negative, in how people are employed. Justice would be not treating a regional culture or community like some sort of endangered animal that needs rescuing, captivity and a breeding program to perpetuate them, but legal assurance that anyone attempting to poach them gets put in prison and they have the same rights and freedoms as everybody else.

However when I say, “We shouldn’t be giving anybody elevated status UNLESS we also give it to white people,” that’s not me advocating for white identitarianism. The opposite. People demanding parity and equal consideration of demographic and culture on the same levels and the same importance gets spun like you’re some toothless fuck from the Deep Souf rambling about how the Capital W Huwhite People are their own thing and should be separate from the rest because culture and ethnicity matters, or some shit. That’s how it gets interpreted and selectively responded to. That’s how any objection to the idea of racial and ethnic collectivization and advocacy for those legislative policies in the states gets responded to in clickbait and passive aggressive articles used to steer the audience’ responses to conversation.

Fucking look at California. When you’re to the point where you think one kind of people YOU KNOW you designate and group together, have their own linguistic culture, have their own communities, have their own music and are distinct from the different groups around them, seem to be people enough to lump into ‘whiteness,’ but you declare it’s NOT, technically, discrimination to disinclude them or think it’s not a faux pas to disinvite or negatively selectively hire them for their religion or ethnic background or culture, you’re not the good guys. You’re just setting up places where to be a white person means you’re open season to say you can’t own property here, work here or raise your kids here, or you have to pay society more money to exist and be white there, and that’s supposed to be a step towards equality? That’s a step closer to saying hanging people by their necks or raping them because of their background is okay, because, “of historical abuses and oppressions at their hands.” And one step closer to saying it’d be perfectly acceptable to treat descendants of the Mongol Horde that way because of the shit the Mongols did historically to places everywhere they went. Except, no, that’s technically racism and ethnocentrism and xenophobia to consider people descended from asshole ancestors as culpable or even related to the people of that time period- UNLESS they’re white.

And it’s incredibly offensive because the discourse is dominated largely by the kinds of shits that DO see it as a form of justice when the government tries to “undo and reverse past discriminations” by proactively saying it’s okay to discriminate but only in certain directions and that’s justice. To where your feelings and position don’t matter to the democratic party as a whole. Where even the supposed “neoliberals in control” agree with or at least cowtow to racialist restitution policies rather than work on race benign solutions to poverty, job training and employment accessibility and more. To where NOT favoring and officially designating protections by racial collectivism is seen as oppressive white supremacism. To where if your solutions aren’t racist in the right way, then they’re racist in the wrong.

I hate it. So much. But before the internet and social media, there has not been a proper forum to even have thought out opinions like this where they could be posted, not take up too much space, and not be edited to hell or refused to be run in newspapers because the publication didn’t like what the person was saying, or couldn’t spin it to just be more KKK apologist pablum trash. People like me couldn’t even comment on it without being disregarded as white supremacists, or at the very least, bigoted and prejudiced against other groups.

Before the internet, social media and other places where you could hang your thoughts in long form, these conversations, these opinions, these little carvings into the public discourse of time and space, would just disappear. Like grafitti on a bridge, corroded with the metal and concrete over time. But I’m confident here, where it’s out of the way, where you have to actually go looking for it, where it can’t just be censored because the tone isn’t the party line or what the publicae wants to be the voice of the people, I can at least state my piece as a person in place and time and not be mischaracterized, or what I say embellished and liberally reinterpreted by people that just hate I disagree with them. Not without the actual receipts of what I’ve actually said being right there with them to read without having to exert the effort of digging it through an archive. That’s the beauty of tumblr threads. You can’t respond to this post without it also automatically having this post to reference when you do so. No vagueries, no relying on benefit of the doubt you’re responding in good faith.

That’s why I bother to comment and say anything at all.

Artist of the Week: Mulatto

The first time I ever heard of Mulatto was one year ago when she released the music video for her single, B**** From Da Souf, and I absolutely LOVED it!!! Bad b**** music is my favorite type of music. Mulatto is so raunchy and real in her music and it’s a breath of fresh air to have someone playing the game like she is. I didn’t start listening to more of her music until recently and I wished I started listening to her sooner! She writes her own lyrics and her flow with lyrical word-play is so smooth! Her type of flow and style of vocals reminds me of how DaBaby writes and raps his music. Those two on a track would be fire!!

Alyssa Michelle Stephen born on December 22, 1998 is an American rapper professionally known as Mulatto. She chose this racial slur as her stage name because she is a mixed woman. Her mother is white and her father is African American. She wears her mixed race with integrity and lets everyone know where she comes from. She talks about her life being mixed in her songs claiming that she is “too white” or “too black” depending on who she is around and hangs out with.  When listening to Mulatto, you can hear the pain and struggles she had been through, especially on the song “No hook.” I love artists who are real in their songs and discuss things that they have been through and what is going on inside their head.

Stephens was born in Columbus, Ohio and moved to Georgia at the age of 2. She was raised in Clayton County, on the south side of Atlanta. She talks about where she comes from a lot in her songs. She is also repping the south side of Atlanta. In interviews, Mulatto has stated that where she grew up was in the country side and that they have a close community. While growing up, she used to go to and participated in drag racing. Mulatto started rapping at the age of 10 and she quit school later on in her life to focus on her music career.

In 2016, she became a contestant on the Lifetime reality show, The Rap Game, produced by Jermaine Dupri and Queen Latifah. This show was set up like a boot-camp where aspiring rappers would compete against one another for eight weeks. Mulatto was the overall winner of The Rap Game and was offered a recording contract from Dupri with So So Def Records but she turned down the deal claiming that it wasn’t enough money. She then decided and continues to be an independent artist. She talks about this event in her music as well, talking about why she didn’t accept the deal and honestly, I am proud of her for following her gut and doing what was best for her. She did not want to be consumed by the industry and she wanted to have control of her music and what she released.

Since being on The Rap Game, Mulatto has released albums, Eps, singles, and has some features with rappers that were on The Rap Game with her and also some other female rappers such as Saweetie and Trina. For an independent artist, she is killing the game and is making her name known. These past few years have been great for female rappers in the game and I can’t wait to see what they do next.

So, if you like boujee, confident, pretty girl music, then Mulatto is the girl for you!
