"Brown" is an eth(n)o-centric grey-positioning of "non-white" non-Blackness to disavow racial antagonisms by overdetermining a color-perceptive pseudo-phenotyical proximity to Blackness

3. this is done by idealizing racial violence as something all non-white people are equally affected by and asserting that any "extra" violence that Black people are affected by is a territorial thing - for example, pretending like the US is the only place where Race is important
4. people tend to divert this discussion by drawing attention to the socially constructed nature of Race but this is usually done to ignore that people are subject to and objectified by violence along very clear racial lines and rarely ever to work towards a destruction of...
