lol someone’s favorite internet talking head is reminding us that kopmala isn’t ADOS or FBA or whatever the hell these xenophobic assholes are calling themselves these days. stick to your area of expertise until you’ve done some reading, my g.
first of all “the americas” are this continent, South America, and the LAND IN BETWEEN CALLED CENTRAL AMERICA. learn about the transatlantic slave trade and where our ppl were sent.
SECOND, chattel slavery isn’t unique to the states. if you have a problem with that fact, idk what to tell you. THIRD, if you don’t use the word Black for the entire diaspora, start there. then defend your stance because your clarity is important to the point you’re making.
which brings me to this: shut the fuck up and stick to your area of expertise.
the casual xenophobia and self centeredness of Americans is just AWFUL. Black Americans are not exempt from this assessment.
additionally, if you believe America owes us reparations, at what point do you come to understand that America will cease to exist once Black liberation (and native sovereignty) are in motion? what will ADOS or FBA mean to you then? or is this about resources?
some of y’all really are capitalists in d9 paraphernalia/ afropunk tee shirts. identifying with the settler is not the way to liberation. these borders are made by settlers. fucking dumbasses.
I’m so TIRED of all this. I usually don’t engage. but wow. I couldn’t let that slide.
using all these words and concepts you haven’t taken the time to sit with? sloppy.
I’m gonna elaborate on this because I think it’s super telling that some folks can’t seem to shut up.
assuming you don’t believe America should exist (which is more than valid), why does it matter that she’s not descended from stolen, genocided Black Americans? she’s propping this shit up, yeah?
do you not know how chattel slavery shaped the Caribbean? is it that Jamaica is a majority Black nation? what does it matter? or are you just talking? 
this is part of what I call the identity/ guilt grift. I’m gonna lay it out real plain because there’s a rather gross trend, especially since 2016, that’s worth exploring.
fact: white supremacy created this fuckshit. it’s in everything we do and experience. it’s the context from which we operate. white supremacy and the construct of whiteness are deadly.
with that fact established and clear to pretty much everyone who gives a fuck: morality in this society is defined by settler colonialism and white supremacy. the measure we are conditioned to use is not for/ about anyone who falls outside the white supremacist ideal.
example: settlers thinking natives were fucked up for doing something as simple as *eating when they were hungry*, instead of eating at a scheduled time. that spitballed into a whole gang of destructive and genocidal shit, yeah?
they made a moral judgement on native ppl, and the rest of the ppl of the global majority, because they would not/ could not fathom that their way wasn’t the only or best way. which brings me to the identity/ guilt grift angle.
given the white supremacist assumption that the only “good” ppl are white and cis, able bodied, some kind of Christian, aligned with the nation state, etc? you don’t automatically have the moral highground based on existing outside that. your identity isn’t moral authority.
