Ritualistic Slaughter of the whites

About an hour ago I was getting food with my family member at a free lunch program. We had gotten food once before, but the white woman handing out the food had given each of us 4 or 5 spoon fulls of macaroni. As we were waiting in line a second time I noticed a white woman sitting down eating her food, and she had at least 3 or 4 times the amount of food we had.

I started making jokes (but not really jokes) about it with my family member, how the woman is handing out loads of food to whites but it sees us (two brown people) and it gives us a teeny tiny bit to starve us to death or something. Anyways I'm watching it (the server) put food on peoples' plates, and I see a white woman get a crap load again, so I look at my family member and I say, "Yup, it’s settled, she's giving a crap load to the whites."

Immediately a white male in front of me turns around mumbles something. I'm tired because I woke up early in the morning, so instead of just ignoring it (like I usually would because I’ve learned nothing good comes from interactions with white strangers), I ask "what?".

It repeats (thinking I care), "I think it depends."

I went silent, so did my family member. At the time my mind was completely blank for a few reasons: 1) I'm tired and my brain can't react quickly, 2) I'm shocked because I can't have a private conversation with my family, 3) I have a burning sensation, which at the time I couldn't identify, but now I realize is the desire to take a knife and jab it into this white's throat, because explaining privilege to it just seems hopeless. How do I explain human decency? I’ve tried, but they don’t want to get it.

It occurs to me now, and I think this feeling is very common in people of color (though I think almost all of us suppress it, something I think we shouldn’t suppress), that the only reason we don't ritualistically kill these pieces of shit is because we would get in trouble. I can’t deal with a court case, going underground, or leaving the country so this white devil gets to live another day.

Side Note (for people of color): I’m sure plenty of whites will read this and freak out thinking that I’m going to murder whites. Evidence suggests that these whites are totally delusional since people of color have ritualistically slaughtered whites in all of history 0 times.

I can already see the posts they’re going to make, freaking out and calling me a murderer and a sociopath (I haven’t actually done anything except express frustration with white privilege and the constant dehumanization I face as a person of color, which is pretty non-sociopathic since sociopaths do not express emotion, something I just did... but whatever). Interestingly enough, sociopaths cannot empathize with others. The fact that whites will show up and start attacking me is evidence that they cannot empathize with me, which can lead to only one conclusion: The whites that will attack me are sociopaths.

sweden, in relation to its size, is one of the biggest weapon exporters in the world

xinsey

sorry to get political on a post that’s probably not supposed to be, but it’s important that everyone understands this: in school, swedish children are told that we haven’t been to war in 200 years. what that actually means is that sweden as a state has not been to war in 200 years. in 2014, the year we celebrated 200 years of peace and “neutrality”, sweden exported weapons to 54 countries.

two years ago, 40 percent of these weapons ended up in countries where they were literally not allowed to be. the countries we sell weapons to must reach a certain standard human rights-wise, yet we export to countries that are classified by peace organisations as Not Free.

third place on the list of buyers is the united states of america. the usa buys swedish weaponry, and that weaponry ends up with american armed forces in afghanistan and iraq.

conclusion: sweden’s neutrality is a joke.

Beyond Identity Politics 2015

In response to the revolutionary struggles of the ‘60s and '70s, a counter-revolutionary critique emerged within the left. It raised two dismissive slogans - “politically correct” and “identity politics” - to oppose self-critical struggle raised against racism and sexism within the left. People struggling for awareness of the dangers of national, racial and sexual chauvinism were attacked as being so-called “PC language police.” Struggles for self-determination and sovereignty by colonized people were put down as “identity politics” that created unnecessary division among supposed progressives.

The reactionary nature of those put-downs have been demonstrated, as they were taken up as rallying cries by the establishment right and even racist forces. The first President Bush made “politically correct” a slogan in national politics, putting down student activists and sympathetic members of college faculty, as he launched a campaign to purge the left from the academy. And to this day, the bombastic media racists who seem to have taken control of the Republican Party, dismiss struggles by African or indigenous people and opposition to anti-immigrant or anti-Mexican hysteria as “identity politics” or “the race card.”

The reduction of revolutionary anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist initiatives to language games or so-called “identity politics” is a manifestation of inadequate attempts by people of European descent to distance ourselves from the Empire and model ourselves on the liberation struggles of colonized people. In response to the Black liberation struggle, the Puerto Rican independence movement, the American Indian Movement for Native sovereignty, and the Chicano-Mexicano liberation movement, European-descent radicals started using the same terminology, such as women’s liberation, gay liberation, and later earth and animal liberation.

On the one hand, this impulse was a positive one - a movement towards resistance to the Empire. But it sidestepped the need for a self-critical examination of identification with the oppressor among people of European descent. It also undercut the anti-colonial nature of the struggles among oppressed people, reducing it to a question of personal identity and cultural differentiation. So this impulse to call all movements “liberation movements” took on a negative aspect. It liquidated the national and anti-colonial content of African, Asian and indigenous struggles.

It’s not merely a question of “identity” - and certainly not racial identity. It ’s a question of identification with the oppressed and exploited rather than with the oppressor and exploiter. This is not a static matter determined by skin color, gender, sexual orientation, or economic status. It is a matter of dynamic struggle against the Empire, against capitalism, colonialism, racism and the class system, and for international solidarity. Identities are created through economic and political struggle, class struggle. The so-called white identity or white nationalism in the US , for example, was created by liquidating the pre-existing national identities and class consciousness of working people of European descent. The Irish, Italians, Poles, Swedes and Bohemians, even the eastern European Jews and Slavs, were made “white” by obliterating their true histories and cultures. Those were replaced by an identification with the imperialist project of settler colonialism, the white supremacist doctrine of manifest destiny, land theft and genocide, and with the wages of whiteness created by an economic system built on the racial chattel slavery of Africans. We must reject this not by creating a new cultural variant of white identity that is somehow “anti-racist,” but by deepening our understanding of our true histories, our recognition of class contradiction and class struggle as splitting issues among so-called ‘white’ people, and by strengthening our identification with all who resist colonialism, imperialism and capitalism.

Trying to appropriate Black or Native cultural identity, as many white folks uncomfortable with whiteness try to do, only worsens divisions. Instead, we need to question the cultural appropriation involved in the propaganda for us to identify with the Pilgrims. Conscious and conscientious people of European descent need to identify with Native resistors, with John Brown, who 150 years ago launched, with Black and white allies, an armed struggle against slavery, with Fred Hampton, a Black revolutionary who was assassinated for inspiring a revolutionary rainbow coalition 40 years ago, with the LA Panthers who learned from his murder to defend themselves against the LAPD. The way to cement that identification is by fighting back against the Empire.

Similarly, focusing on white privilege can be a way to discount or deny the harsher, material realities of Euro-American settler colonialism and white nationalism. The bourgeois system constantly tries to defuse and de-fang nascent and potential threats to its hegemony and control. It understands the tremendous strength it has because the ruling or dominant ideas are the ideas of the ruling or dominant class, but also the vulnerability this exposes when ideas emerge from the practice and reality of the people it oppresses and exploits that represent a liberatory, and therefore antogonistic, way of thinking that may spread. They are aware that people can free their minds and set out on the road to free ourselves entirely, thus expropriating the expropriators, so they constantly study – more and more efficiently in the age of social media – new thinking, thought processes, “memes” that arise from social struggle, and seek by various means to control, contain and redirect those challenges into actually becoming reinforcers of the system. They are aided in this by the material basis in settler colonial capitalist patriarchal society for an identification with the oppressor.

You might think it’s a good thing, for instance, a sign of the times, that an avowed socialist is making a credible run for the presidency and drawing big crowds and thousands of small donations wherever he goes. And indeed it is a testament to the fact that, 25 years after the end of “Cold War I” and the “Red Menace,” the idea of socialism is quite popular with young people, for whom capitalism appears as organized greed, theft and planetary destruction. But dig a little deeper. Ask yourself why this system spends hundreds of millions of dollars on selling presidential candidates to you (and hundreds of millions more on the rest of the “ticket,” governors, Senators, legislators)? This is a gigantic propaganda spectacle designed to maintain at all costs the fraying consent of the governed to a charade of democracy, where millions cannot vote because they are imprisoned, or undocumented, or too young, and millions more have turned off and tuned out.

The rulers face a huge contradiction. They can only continue their rule by conceding formal democracy, but the evidence of everyone’s senses is that democracy has been hollowed out by corporate power expressed through NAFTA, the TPP, and the military and surveillance systems that enforce them. The upsurge of struggles around the world is beginning to percolate inside the “Homeland,” the internal, domestic front of the empire.

And so as the Old Mole of desire for social control of production and wealth begins to make itself felt in the body politic, the system turns to its tried and true methods, a one-two punch, also known as the carrot and the stick or coercion and cooptation.

On the one hand, the system tries to convey that resistance is futile, that disruptive dissidence in the streets will be met with massive retaliation, targeted repression, and an escalation of the very tactics and practices being protested. This is the “iron fist” that greets #BlackLivesMatter protesters and their allies – brutal arrests, selective prosecution and no let up – indeed an INCREASE – in the number of police killings with impunity.

On the other hand, the system wears a velvet glove belying the steel beneath. This is the effort to inoculate the population against a spreading “virus” of dissent and desire for a different and better world, that shivers the timbers of the glorified pirates who run this system for their own benefit. The system always performs this ideological “vaccination,” by substituting a “killed virus” for the infectious agents of dissidence, resistance and self-determined solidarity. Just as the system pulled a “bait and switch,” swapping bourgeois feminism for women’s liberation, diverting gay liberation into gay rights, substituting “gangsta rap” for hip-hop, promoting “pork-chop” nationalism to undermine revolutionary efforts at decolonization, so now we find bourgeois forms of socialism, accepting of the empire, gaining political currency.

This should be a signal to us that the system is more aware of its own vulnerabilities and contradictions than we are. Now is not the time for polite half-measures; haven’t Obama’s betrayals on Guantanamo, war, single payer, NSA surveillance, drones, “clean” coal and Arctic drilling taught us anything? We need to break with illusions, break our identification with the oppressors and exploiters. It’s time to withdraw the consent of the governed; time to become ungovernable.

Similarly, having been unable to totally eliminate the academic left with their earlier attacks on “political correctness,” the system is happy to subsidize and reinforce approaches that personalize and individualize the issue and any potential solution. This is akin to defining racism as more or less synonymous with “prejudice,” and is based on dissociating “oppression” (and therefore “privilege,” which is the corollary of oppression) from exploitation, or from institutionalized material and systemic realities, from land and Empire.

A key to this has been a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of privilege. On the one hand, it is true that the material reality of privilege is both corrupting and blinding to the person who possesses the privilege. On the other hand, it is vital to understand that privilege is a mechanism of social and ideological control. Parents use privileges to control the behavior of their children. Teachers and principals use privileges to control the behavior of students. Prison guards and wardens use privileges to divide and control the behavior of prisoners. Privilege exists throughout class society, patriarchy and colonialism. Privilege divides different strata of workers from each other, skilled from unskilled, proletarians from peasants.

Privilege, for example, has been used very effectively to divide immigrants from each other, first by Reagan with the aptly named Immigration Reform and Control Act, or so-called “amnesty,” which divided people by their status, whether documented, undocumented, possessing a green card or the possibility of getting one, citizenship or the path to it. The same thing is happening today with Obama and the DACA and DAPA programs. Privilege always goes hand in hand with repression (the carrot and the stick reinforcing each other in producing the desired behaviors). So Obama has simultaneously authorized massive deportations, sweeps and detention, just as Reagan inaugurated a new era of border control and workplace surveillance.

What is vital to understand is that anything you possess as a privilege is not yours by right or by fruit of struggle. Privileges can always be taken away or adjusted by those who confer them, for misbehavior. They are not entirely self-policing and self-reinforcing; they depend on continued subservience and obedience, on complacency, compliance and complicity. There is always a threat behind and embedded in every privilege. Imagining that what you have as a privilege is a reflection of your rights or your merit is therefore a potentially fatal error of magical thinking. Being unconscious of privilege is a manifestation of the complicity or compliance through which one “earns” the privilege.

But recognizing that privilege is a mechanism of social control, domination and integration into an identification with the oppressors and exploiters, is key to breaking out of that paradigm and struggling to exercise one’s rights and to seek collective, social solutions. Privilege is not unique to white, straight, cis males. Privilege is an inescapable part of the nature of capitalism, colonialism, racism, and patriarchy and affects in varying ways, everyone within that system. Urban workers in Batista’s Cuba were privileged as compared to rural peasants. A pecking order exists among people who make their living picking through trash in the Philippines . Japanese were privileged over other Asians in apartheid South Africa . Taller and stereotypically attractive people are privileged over shorter, less “good-looking” people in the competition for jobs. Recognizing this, we can begin to understand that privilege is neither a blessing or a curse, but a mechanism of division and domination that must be overcome. Its pervasive presence within all the intersectional aspects of class society means that we can begin to treat it not as a way to create a hierarchy or competition of who is more oppressed, but a manifestation of oppression and exploitation the experience of which any of us may share in some respects relative to others. Marx said that capitalism rests on competition among the workers. Privilege is a key mechanism of inducing and sustaining that competition.

The antidote to the poisonous effects of privilege is solidarity. We must begin to break down the divisions (and therefore the conquest or control of the rulers) by building a unity based on self-determination, self-sacrifice, self-criticism, egalitarianism, an end to oppressive hierarchies, and a commitment to seeing the struggle through to the end.

Jon Stewart accepting The Daily Show’s Emmy for Outstanding Variety Talk Series

kams88-blog

Jon Stewart is so awesome!!!!

Oh wait what's this?

the only black writer, Wyatt Cenac, made it clear that, like Fox News, he was uncomfortable with Stewart’s bit. He compared it to a character from “Amos ‘n Andy,” basically accusing Stewart of engaging in black face voice. Perhaps not surprisingly, the allegation of racist behavior rankled Stewart, who Cenac says responded by yelling, “F*** off, I’m done with you” repeatedly.

Never in the history of the world has an election destroyed a system of oppression.

alanaisalive

This is true, but elections have created numerous systems of oppression. This is why, while elections are not the answer to everything, they are still worth consideration and participation. The UK has a fascist government that is killing disabled people right now and ignoring human rights because leftists in England decided not to vote. Voting won’t get rid of capitalism and won’t change the fundamental things that are wrong with the system, but failing to vote will likely make those things worse. Voting is not about revolution. It’s about damage limitation. And that’s still important.

fullpraxisnow

There’s truth here, sure. I can’t speak to the UK but I can ask this, would Democrats be any less fascistic if leftists decided to start voting? Less so than the Republicans? This always devolves into a discussion about the “lesser of two evils,” and it always ALWAYS reminds me of what Malcolm X said about how liberals use black people:

“In this deceitful American game of power politics, the Negroes (i.e., the race problem, the integration and civil rights issues) are nothing but tools, used by one group of whites called Liberals against another group of whites called Conservatives, either to get into power or to remain in power. Among whites here in America, the political teams are no longer divided into Democrats and Republicans. The whites who are now struggling for control of the American political throne are divided into “liberal” and “conservative” camps. The white liberals from both parties cross party lines to work together toward the same goal, and white conservatives from both parties do likewise.

The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro’s friend and benefactor; and by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political “football game” that is constantly raging between the white liberals and white conservatives.

Politically the American Negro is nothing but a football and the white liberals control this mentally dead ball through tricks of tokenism: false promises of integration and civil rights. In this profitable game of deceiving and exploiting the political politician of the American Negro, those white liberals have the willing cooperation of the Negro civil rights leaders. These “leaders” sell out our people for just a few crumbs of token recognition and token gains. These “leaders” are satisfied with token victories and token progress because they themselves are nothing but token leaders.”

Now let’s broaden Brother Malcolm’s words to speak specifically to all liberals:

“In this deceitful American game of power politics people of color, natives, the poor, disabled, and all marginalized communities are nothing but tools, used by Liberals against another group called Conservatives, either to get into power or to remain in power. Among politicians here in America, the political teams can ONLY be Democrats and Republicans. They are now struggling for dominating monopoly of the American political throne. Both parties cross party lines to work together toward the same goal.

Liberals differ from conservatives only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the working class’ friend and benefactor; and by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the poor, the liberal is able to use them as a pawn or tool in this political “football game” that is constantly raging between the liberals and conservatives.

Politically, America’s poor and marginalized are nothing but a football and liberals control this mentally dead ball through tricks of tokenism: false promises of upward mobility, equality, education, and equal rights. In this profitable game of deceiving and exploiting, liberals have the willing cooperation of populist leaders and so-called socialists. These “leaders” sell out the poor and marginalized for just a few crumbs of token recognition and token gains. These “leaders” are satisfied with token victories and token progress because they themselves are nothing but token leaders.”

This describes well how I feel about “the lesser of the two evils.”

White people will literally tell you racism is over and go up to you and spit racism right in your face. This girl doesn’t know who this boy is and yet he shared her photo to call her slurs and desire raping WoC. Fuckboy isn’t exactly smart because he listed his family and school. I’m about to give racistsgettingfired a visit. You know this kid is torturing students of color at his school. His name needs to be attached to his racism. Quentin Langdon, student of South Platte High School in Nebraska is an antagonistic racist. There is no spark to his antagonism other than existing and being of color.
