Nah it means “mutually interchangeable”.

I also recognize, and am deeply and directly impacted by the fact, that this is the nexus at which the rife, intramural debates between black scholars occurs—around the notion of blackness across the African Diaspora as a locus of infinite potentiality, rich cultural heritage and vast intellectual capability; versus the assertion that blackness constitutes a locus of violent accumulation (of wealth for all but slaves) and fungibility (the reduction and interchangeability of humans into objects, commodities, currency for an array of uses), such that it is more useful to read the Middle Passage rhetorically and symbolically: as a point of severance from the locus identified above, rather than as a chartable historical event that can be recuperated and overcome by collective fortitude. It is precisely the fact and high stakes of this terrible schism that prompts my black feminist incision into structural, antiblack violence as the center of gravity that keeps the world on its axis in the wake of both, and that has driven such a terrifying wedge between the black intellectual “community”.[7] It is the gravitational pull of this particular gap/black hole that forges my unwavering commitment to the ways in which these rhetorical, philosophical and theoretical tensions are distractions from the fact that although its performances may vary affectively, this violence impacts blacks, as Selamawit Terrefe suggests, “of all presumed genders” and sexual persuasions equally.[8] Put another way, the plight and predicament of blacks in the wake of slavery points to a plight and predicament that is, as Frank B. Wilderson, III asserts, “vertically integrated” and “without analog, no matter the breadth of one’s achievements.”[9] It is this daring to excavate—to read, deeply and unflinchingly into—the crimson core of this ontological break, that comprises the mode of radical analysis to which I adhere, as it troubles the various anxiety driven narratives that redact and/or elide altogether the particularity that defines how the black suffers at every level of abstraction.
