💛 “Michael Che, the Enlightenment, and Whiteness”

To ask “what was here before whiteness” is to open the more dangerous question: what had to be eliminated, for this way of organizing reality to appear natural.

Thanks to everyone who followed me over to the new server and to all new people. For the new people: I post mainly about matters relevant to communities of color, particularly Black folks. I post about abolition, what it is and why it’s needed. I post on African music and cultural events in the DC/NY corridor. I’m a lawyer and retired law prof. I do pay attention to notable trials. I don’t do free lifting for white folks who can look up things on the internet.

We all just KNOW, don't we?

The police response to Black insurrectionists would make the current assaults on anti-war protesters look like a mere playground skirmish!

Blacks would have been shot, maimed, imprisoned for life, and worse, outright killed!

A lot of us may stay home in November.

Neither candidate gives a shit about the Black community.

The third party candidates don't either.
