I don’t care who you are, if you complain about the amount of attention Black Lives Matter and Black issues get you are antiblack. “But Native Americans!” “But Asians!” Shut up. Tearing down Black people does not help any other community. Yes it can be frustrating when issues you care about don’t get enough focus, but I promise it’s not Black people’s activism that’s getting in your way. Do your own work and don’t act entitled to what gains Black activists have achieved. You’re not as progressive or nice as you think you are if you’re willing to use Black people as a scapegoat.

M.I.A is the biggest example of this false ass POC solidarity I keep talking about. Insisting black people fight for everyone else, while belittling our issues in the same breath. Why do you even have to mention black people when you’re talking about something else? Why does your brain even wander to us? We’re not the problem. Black people aren’t to blame for other POCs oppression. If you think we are, then you’ve got some funky ass anti blackness internalized that you need to deal with. And this is coming from someone who blogs about everyone. Black people, non black poc, queer people, disabled people. You name it. But I’m tired of racist ass POC that only want to work together when it suits them.

shut the fuck up! she’s always spouting some bullshit. black people are not your fucking mule

Why is the article gone?

the article is there for me but anyway MIA needs to turn on her location because im going to beat her ass

When you spew anti black shit but forgot there are black Muslims who also suffers racism in the Muslim community . When you spew anti black shit but forget that when middle eastern are murdered in the street they get justice but when your black Muslim brothers and sisters are murdered in the street it’s not the same .

The fact that she has the ovaries to say how people been literally trying to get the world to recognize that black peoples are human and deserve rights since umpteenth 90s and how she’s “heard it before ” ( like everyone else ignoring our cries ) basically saying ok fuckers whatever .

Let’s sum this up

Solidarity is a myth .

I was a myth when Asian America protested in ny for whites privilege.

Boom here is Asia showing their ass again not even two weeks in the game .

Why don’t YOU say those things as someone from those cultures-how you expect someone who knows nothing about it to advocate for it? They speaking on their experiences-which is the only thing they really qualified to speak on, so get your lazy ass up and continue to advocate instead of trying to put your dirty work on people who got problems of their own in their OWN communities to handle.

Black people are nobody’s mules.

Black people are #NotYourMule.

One of the more annoying things about Chris Rock is his acting like black people were the only group excluded from the Oscars.

And this isn’t me taking issue with a black person bringing up how the black community is mistreated in the way that sometimes people blame black people for them not getting any attention, or whatever.

It’s about how Hollywood and mainstream media coverage only ever looks at these issues as “black vs white”, which ignores so many layers to these controversies.

And all of the actors who protested the Oscars this year never narrowed down the conflict this much. They attributed it to a lack of diversity, not specifically a lack of one group.

To hear Chris Rock talk, people who aren’t white or black aren’t even eligible for nomination, and that’s not even on his radar.

Once more Black people gotta be non black people voices I guess... Talking about the issues that affect YOU and not being thee voice for non black PoC = making it all a "black and white thing" Lol well it was nice following ya! Have a nice life and all lives matter I guess

That antiblack moment when an Asian person in your apartment building keeps glancing back to look at you in the hallway as you walk to YOUR OWN apartment. And this was literally right after we spoke in the elevator but still suspicion and “fear” as I walked behind them. Not to mention the countless times other Asian people in my building have deliberately not held the building door open for me and my black friends when we try to enter after them. Antiblackness as always.

I’ve lived in Taiwan and the US and the depths of antiblackness amongst Asian people still never ceases to amaze me. Did I mention how people in Taiwan who were alone with me in elevators would literally RUN out when they got to their floors (this happened to me twice). Or when a Chinese woman in Chengdu asked if she could prick my skin with a needle so she could see if black people bled BLUE blood unlike human beings which bled red? Or how about when people would rub my skin to see if the black would come off, or tell me not to drink coffee so I wouldn’t become “even more black”? How about my black friend of a friend in Korea who had a student LICK her in class to “see if she tasted like chocolate.” This is just a few of countless experiences of the severe antiblackness in Asian countries.

People love to make excuses for nonblack poc and say “it’s just ignorance” but it’s not. Look at history. Blackface has been commonplace in South Korean media since the 70s and many Kpop stars to this day continue to parade around in blackface with some serial offenders like G-Dragon in just the past few years. In the 80s in China there were several anti-African riots in Chinese universities where Chinese students en masse assaulted African students claiming that they had sexually assaulted Chinese women. Africans in China to this day are subjected to incredible amounts of police harassment and violence. In 2009 a Nigerian migrant in Guangzhou died jumping from a high rise to escape a Chinese police immigration raid. Africans protested in large numbers in Guangzhou after his death. In 2012 another Nigerian migrant died mysteriously in Chinese police custody (sound familiar?) with no answers from the Chinese authorities. This led to more protests by Africans in Guangzhou. In 2012. Not 1912. (x)

And the shit in America with Asian people is the same. Asians running around saying the n word. Putting on blackface (UCLA Asian frat). And I’ve literally been denied service at an Asian restaurant in DC before saying that they “were closed” even as I stared at tables upon tables full of WHITE people. When pushed, the waiter said - “well you can sit here if you want” and ushered me and my black friend into a back side room where nobody would see us. We refused to sit and left.

People wax poetic about “POC solidarity” but honestly I don’t buy it anymore. Haven’t for a while. Non black POC are always clambering over black bodies to try and gain proximity to whiteness. As Toni Morrison says, the second word an immigrant learns when they come to America is “nigger.” And it’s because they know how central and pivotal antiblackness is in white supremacy. They know that finding any way to distance themselves from blackness is their ticket toward whiteness and humanity - just as the Irish and Italians did to become white in America- and so they reproduce the same bullshit as white people if not worse because of it.

I’m so over it. Like I’m literally just living my life and minding my own business and so many Asian people just won’t leave me alone with their antiblackness- no matter where I go. I go to Asia- bullshit. I go to Palestinian rallies where people scream “nigger” at black people- bullshit. I go in online spaces with Asian people defending blackface in Kpop (see FB comments on this post)- bullshit. I go to my own home minding my own business- bullshit. I’m so fucking over it. Just leave me alone if you have not done any work to dismantle all of your community’s internalized antiblackness.

how do yall feel about nonblack people who live in or grew up in predominantly black and poor areas using that to defend their use of ghetto/nigga/any other anti-black thing they do?

being in the vicinity of black people doesn’t make you black or make your history identical to ours at all. slavery, jim crow, and housing discrimination all led to the projects & the subsequent poverty. those conditions are explicitly linked to our poverty. immigrants and other poc have different historical events directly tied to their impoverishment too. if being poor & black doesn’t give us the right to coopt the jewish, latinx, asian, etc experience then i don’t see why breathing my air bestows them with 500+ years of oppression they’re so desperate

“I Was Agreeing With You Right Up Until You Threw Black People Under The Bus,” a nine-book saga by me

*gift wraps this for Aziz Ansari

The late great Big Chief Allison “Tootie” Montana. New Orleans, Mardi Gras Indians. During slavery, Blacks and Native Americans protected each other from the oppressors. This is a way that Blacks pay tribute by combining their West Indies, African and the Native American cultures. It has been going on since the 1800’s in New Orleans, La.

Shoutout to all the revolutionary people of color of today and yesterday:

Asian & Black girls are constantly pinned against each other because we represent opposite sides of the “non-white people” spectrum. Asians are “submissive, quiet, and shy” while black girls are “aggressive, loud, extroverted” and whenever these paths cross, white people will get angry

They constantly tell Asian girls that they are the “good” minority, and in the same breath sexualize these women by taking and posting pictures of them clad in just swimsuits and japanese school girl uniforms

Whites tell us black girls that we are too loud and abrasive, but will put us on the front lines of Versace and Givenchy and praise our skin color and wish for our bone structure

Asian and Black girls are in a constant cycle of Idolization, dehumanization and fetishization and we need to break out of this vicious cycle and stand against white supremacy and this constructed racist institution

#BlackPowerYellowPeril

This has gotta be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen on the internet

Black Panther Party and the Asian American Political Alliance

The very birth of the term Asian American came from a rejection of white supremacy, institutional racism and in full support of Black Power [via the Asian American Political Alliance, particularly in regards to the work being done by the Black Panthers]. We stood together. Some of us still stand together. We must stand together again.

I fucking love this gif.

seriously best gif ever

#POCsolidarity.

#BlackPowerYellowPeril solidarity is about finding ways in which we don’t step on one another to get ahead, but find common goals. -@suey_park

this gives me so much life

#NotYourAsianSidekick

bigger version than the last one!

YES

YES

YES…..

THEY DONT TELL US THIS IN HISTORY CLASS THO. 

I’d watch a movie about this.

Stuff I never learned in school

Why the hell would they teach us about successful events of POC solidarity?
