#wretchedoftheearth

[pcvcinghana]

the struggle for independence began through the protest of a land bill, with the second world war bringing up forms of economic independence. independence was gained officially in 1951, in part due to the work of The Big Six, although there are many unsung heroes, especially as such efforts are communal. Nkrumah was instated as leader after some internal battle, and championed panafricanism, hoping for ghana to move forward as a nation with and for their own people. some of his works and beliefs remind me of those of Aime Cesaire on the #discourseoncolonialism. he desired national pride, but more than that was seeking a "black pride", installing the black star in the middle of the flag and the black star square pictured above. he studied about many of the people we read and viewed through the class. fresh from the post-colonial period, he also put emphasis on some of the ideas of the nation-state, similar to Fanon in #wretchedoftheearth. nkrumaism believed that European class distinctions in marxist-lenin study were not fully applicable and drew from pre-colonial African practices and more to push forward the ideology. the impact is described to be more cultural than on the country's politics.

Criticizing the violence of the protest while maintaining silence about the social and physical violence enacted against the black people maintains the coloniality. Open your mind and find your place in the liberation struggle.

“Right now, the black bloc protesters from the D.C. protest are facing a decade in jail and a fine (each) of $25,000. No one was hurt during their protest, but Starbucks and McDonald’s had to replace some windows and a limousine, a symbol of America’s wealth disparity, burned. And meanwhile, liberals are gleefully making memes of a black bloc protester engaging in the great American pastime of punching Nazis. Lots of people secretly really like the black bloc. If you doubt that, just Google ‘Richard Spencer gets punched in the face’ to see just how fond people are of the black bloc’s direct action approach to stopping Nazis in their tracks. And that’s what we need to do right now. Many progressives have been raised to tolerate outlandish ideologies in the spirit of inclusivity, but the far-right is now exploiting the sanctity of safe spaces in order to advance fascism, which will destroy our democracy. You don’t hug and coddle Nazis. It doesn’t work. Fascists only understand aggressive defeat. Radical protest creates the space for actions like the Women’s March. By pushing the Overton Window left, the black bloc makes the Women’s March look like a hyper-reasonable movement. ‘We’d better deal with these nice white ladies,’ some in power might say, ‘They’re nothing like those crazy kids dressed in black.’ I promise you: the Nazis don’t fear peaceful liberal protests, but they may think twice about marching in public if the black bloc is there to meet them.”

Right now, the black bloc protesters from the D.C. protest are facing a decade in jail and a fine (each) of $25,000.

If you want to talk about their tactics, talk about their tactics, but if you enjoyed seeing that asshole get hit in the face, put $5 into their legal defense fund or the NLG defense fund. Your meme hero could easily have been among the ones arrested.

Every time you post Spencer being punched or the limo on fire or whatever, set aside a dollar to the legal defense fund.

Also please donate to the DisruptJ20 legal fund to help #L12. The fine is up to $250,000, actually. They mass arrested everyone indiscriminately on one block - including legal observers, street medics, and journalists. They were kettled, had excessive force used against them (which the DC police tried to lie about - despite video evidence) and held for 8.5 hours without access to food, water, or bathrooms before finally being arrested. Most of them are being charged with felony rioting, which is rarely used. There was a class-action lawsuit filed on Friday. Please donate and spread the word!

[TW: rape culture] When rapists engage in sex acts without bothering to gain their sex partner’s consent, they are not “accidentally” raping someone. Rapes don’t come from miscommunication. They are not isolated, unpreventable incidents. They are a product of institutionalized, reinforced, life-long privilege. They are the symptoms of a flaw in the rapist’s entire worldview. They are the product of the way the rapist has habitually devalued women, laid claim to the bodies of others, pursued what he wants no matter what—and never thought anything of it because he has never been called on it. That’s not an accident. That’s a system.

Finally getting around to reading this! #frantzfanon #wretchedoftheearth #requiredreading

[diannesmith]

I'm total geeking out over my gift from #lewisgordon! I can't wait to read this and perhaps follow with a re read of #frantzfanon #wretchedoftheearth American philosopher Lewis Ricardo Gordon (born 1962) is an American philosopher who works in the areas of Africana philosophy, philosophy of human and life sciences, phenomenology, philosophy of existence, social and political theory, postcolonial thought, theories of race and racism, philosophies of liberation, aesthetics, philosophy of education, and philosophy of religion. He has written particularly extensively on race and racism, postcolonial phenomenology, Africana and black existentialism, and on the works and thought of W. E. B. Du Bois and Frantz Fanon. #diannesmith #diannesmithart (at University of Montevallo)

Ahh, thank you! I guess I was a little wrong in terms of occupation (but Chris Rock does write music so ... only sort of wrong?), but I have such a bad memory for names I'm honestly surprised I even got that much "right". If anybody's interested, we were reading Origins of the Urban Crisis, about racial segregation post-WW2 in Detroit, and one section of the book was specifically talking about how the black "pioneers" into middle-class/upper-class mostly-white neighborhoods were generally speaking significantly more affluent than their white counterparts, as well as better educated. (It's a very good book, by Thomas Sugrue, though at times very hard to read, in part because he uses a lot of primary source quotes that include some pretty nasty slurs).
