#antiblackness — Public Fediverse posts

"Freedom can be granted, but it remains a “legal fiction”. […] Rights cannot be bestowed upon those constructed as Slaves, non-Humans, or property, especially when such a status is the contingent basis of the worldview through which rights are given their coherence."
by Scott Campbell @susurros

“Peace, within an antiblack world, is a fallacy (much like freedom). The metaphysical infrastructure that supports the fiction of the white human is sustained by antiblack violence.”
by Calvin Warren, in Ontological Terror

"Palestinians despise the courts. We hate the sight of a judge, knowing all too well that they are no different from the interrogator. We loathe the law and all it stands for in our context—a tool for oppression cloaked in legality. Even the lawyers, perhaps universally disliked, evoke our mistrust. But for us, the courts represent more than frustration; they are the place where our oppressive conditions are translated into legal language, where the weight of colonial domination is formalized with a veneer of legitimacy."
by Abdaljawad Omar, in “The ICC warrants: Palestinian skepticism and the glimpse of justice,” 2024, https://mondoweiss.net/2024/11/the-icc-warrants-palestinian-skepticism-and-the-glimpse-of-justice/

For Kanak independence: The fight against French rule in New Caledonia by Susanna Ounei

#Kanaky, #anticolonialism, #antiimperialism, #frenchimperialism, #frenchcolonialism, #Melanesia, #selfdetermination, #independence, #Kanakpeople, #FLNKS, #FrontdeLibérationNationaleKanaketSocialiste, #antiblackness, #nationalliberation, #KanakSocialistNationalLiberationFront

"Since 1984, the struggle of the Kanak people against French colonial rule in New Caledonia has consistently attracted world headlines. It has become a symbol of the new awakening of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific against more than 100 years of imperialist domination.

In the English-speaking Pacific and beyond, however, very little is known of the history of the Kanak anti-colonial struggle or the Kanak Socialist National Liberation Front (FLNKS), which is leading the independence fight today.

In this pamphlet, Susanna Ounei, the official representative in New Zealand of the FLNKS who has been active in the national liberation struggle since 1969, backgrounds the situation in New Caledonia today and outlines the goals of the FLNKS. Also included is the founding charter of the FLNKS."

It truly boggles my mind how so many #white Americans can claim with a straight face that systemic anti-Blackness and #racism doesn't exist anymore when even the richest and most famous #Black men still hardly ever live to see age 60.

The West Indies: Patterns of Development, Culture and Environmental Change Since 1492 by David Watts

Topics
#Caribbean, #Caribbeanhistory, #historyoftheCaribbean, #geography, #historicalgeography, #genocide, #blackchattelslavery, #slavetrade, #antiblackness, #translatlanticslavetrade, #whitesupremacy, #imperialism, #colonialism, #spanishimperialism, #spanishcolonialism, #britishimperialism, #britishcolonialism, #frenchimperialism, #frenchcolonialism, #dutchimperialism, #dutchcolonialism, #amerikas, #northamerika, #plantations, #plantationeconomy, #sugarplantations, #environmentalgeography, #slavesocieties, #ecology

This magisterial survey of the historical geography of the West Indies is at bottom concerned with the causes and consequences of three complex and inter-related phenomena: the rapid and total removal of a large aboriginal population; the development of plantation agriculture and the arrival of enforced labour, in the form of many thousands of African slaves; and the environmental, ecological and cultural changes that resulted.

People need to understand that cis women catching friendly fire from discrimination against transfeminine athletes is a feature, not a bug. The point is to enforce strict gender roles and expression for EVERYONE, not just transfems. 1/4
