fiction or fascism

okay white people that keep trying to tell me what the real definition of racism is please just stop. getting your feelings hurt over someone calling out white supremacy, privilege or whiteness is not the same thing as experiencing racism. someone calling you a cracker or commenting on your skin color, or invisibility, is not racism. 

prejudice exists. i will fucking give you that. but Racism is power and prejudice, it comes from a place of structural and institutional power. Whiteness as a culture has been built on the backs of brown and black people, genocide and constant erasure via overseers and forced assimilation. If you benefit from whiteness, then you benefit from a system of white supremacy and institutional power that has and continues to routinely devalue black life and the lives of people of color. recognizing that is the bare minimum you can do.

how about instead of crying about reverse racism or whatever else bullshit you want to make up to make yourself feel less uncomfortable with being white, you sit the fuck down and listen to how people of color who have been subordinated under social and economic hierarchies define Racism and their oppression. 

white privilege doesn't mean you weren't poor, less able bodied, or marginalized.. it means that when it comes to race you are able to pass more easily in this white supremacist society that doles out privileges and power. it means that even if you are targeted by police, you probably aren't systematically targeted by police. it also doesn't mean you are treated the same as other whites, because you might be part of marginalized populations (like the houseless) that are disproportionately targeted (by society and the police). 

if you 'don't see race' or think you live in a 'post racial society' or think privilege 'shouldn't apply' then you're living in a dream world to escape facing privilege, power and white supremacy. You know who doesn't have the privilege to live in that dream world? people of color, people who have been colonized and displaced and dehumanized consistently as subordinated populations under the rule of property and power.

one can't be 'RACIST' towards white people because it doesn't come from a place of institutional power. i know it's hard to understand when you want to shove forced equality down everyone's throats, but that's called assimilation. and i've had ENOUGH of that. in this society we're NOT all treated the same. if you want to erase privilege, then abolish society. in the meantime confront your privileges and work to betray them publicly in open space instead of apologizing for them and trying to equalize racism. what the fuck. 

whiteness is when i post something about being called an 'anti white racist' for speaking critically about whiteness, white supremacy and racism and then some other entitled white person decides their going to educate me. there's a reason i didn't post this entire rant and i just posted a two-liner quip. maybe it's because I wanted to avoid white entitlement. GUESS WHAT it's unavoidable.

So fucking tired and hung over and just got to work

refresh. refresh. refresh. resume draft.

cause like the shit that matters (granted, the shit that matters IMO) but like actual calls for solidarity or tactical ideas or communiques or anything praxis related to our CURRENT struggle against domination/fascism doesn't get posted/reblogged. 

historical quotes? old theorists? images from 'radical' history? yup. reblogged. for revolutionary effect... but not practice. 

i fucking love image based propaganda too but it's a cheap trade for communication from engaged participants/criticalists. please go reblog the communique from squatters under attack in oakland. 

i'm losing f(a)ith. haha.
