many people's politics are inextricable from their consumption, because we've made individualism, "representation" and other limited liberal frameworks the totality of our politics, and thus they feel personally attacked when you critique what they consume.

those things you consume—the music, the movies, the tv shows, those things that you've made tumblr posts about how they affirm your identities, the sweat shop made clothing from your favorite singers, you patch them into your political persona because neoliberalism taught you to.

capitalist representation politics told you that you're identity rests on "seeing yourself" in that film that someone is about to critique, so you have to defend it; it told you that engaging in capitalist economics is the ultimate political act, that brands are personalities.

“Don’t ask permission for something that already belongs to you.” Explain how this is any different than celebrating and being proud of a plantation because you were forced to build it?

technology is working against us to amplify anti-intellectialism at an all time high, targeting our people ferociously, and there are objective truths that we must hold tightly to.

Mind you the “reclaiming” is just wrapping yourself in the flag. No power, not even influence, no ownership of any of the institutions our ancestors built by FORCE not choice, kicked off Medicaid, locked up & shot down what exactly did we “reclaim”? What of this country is ours?

Best thing he did in his worthless little life.

My pride is not rooted in what my people did FOR America; I am proud of who my people are and what my people did IN SPITE of America. I do not seek America's acceptance or validation, and I do not need to "reclaim" any of its symbols. What's ours is ours. We don't need the rest.

"It comes as a great shock… to discover that the flag to which you have pledged allegiance has not pledged allegiance to you."- James Baldwin

Liberation is the only true reclamation.

And also no matter how much the internet tries to make this an issue, black ppl born in the U.S. KNOW THEY ARE DESCENDANTS OF AFRICA that tension is not as pronounced irl as it is here which is why I enjoy bullying a lot of yall with 0 concern for principle. It’s common sense
