I can’t believe this is the response. I am seriously at a loss for words.

For the record, I did not report this post for racism. I do believe the rhetoric absolutely enables white hegemony and should not be seen as subversive or somehow post racial.

I am done with this thread. I literally just came to get screenshots for archival purposes. Cheers everyone ✌️

Cheers fam, I have enough teachable material from this exchange now. 🤝

I am for sure side-eyeing every post on the instance now. I have never seen the Horseshoe Theory this blatant.

Yeah that’s like you saying the n word and redefining the triangle of meaning to claim it is only for ignorant people. That sounds cute, but the premise is ahistorical and not rooted in ANY reality outside of pretentious (dare i say, WHITE) leftist spaces.

This comment in particular is very revealing for the record. Continue though so I can have an anecdote to cite later when asked about the big tent approach.

You can principally call out Obama without resorting to an anti-black slur. Is Obama still a tool for white hegemony? OBVIOUSLY. No one is disputing that, it is your language that is the issue here. However, you and your buddies in this thread will continue proving why afro-pessimism and generally the Black Radical Tradition frameworks are so important when engaging with folks like yall.

This title and the doubling down on the nonsense is why afro-pessimism exists for the record.

…a home gym. As much as it has destroyed my budget for the remainder of the year and more than likely next year, it is absolutely worth it.
