THE BLACK IDENTITY was created to erase the presence of AFRICANNESS in the Western Hemisphere, and people labelled as black think that it was natural. #Tucker #fuentes #blackpolitics #Afropessimism

Dr. Matthew Oware breaks it down: Sure, you can identify however you want, but here's the catch - society has to actually accept that identity for it to be legitimate.

But these days when more than half the people in the country can't read at all, history is just one more vast unknown to them. Jarret supporters have been known, now and then, to form mobs and burn people at the stake for being witches. Witches! In 2032! A witch, in their view, tends to be a Muslim, a Jew, a Hindu, a Buddhist, or in some parts of the country, a Mormon, a Jehovah's Witness, or even a Catholic. A witch may also be an atheist, a "cultist," or a well-to-do eccentric. Well-to-do eccentrics often have no protectors or much that's worth stealing. And "cultist" is a great catchall term for anyone who fits into no other large category, and yet doesn't quite match Jarret's version of Christianity. Jarret's people have been known to beat or drive out Unitarians, for goodness sake. Jarret condemns the burnings, but does so in such mild language that his people are free to hear what they want. As for the beatings, the tarring and feathering, and the destruction of "heathen houses of devil-worship," he has a simple answer: "Join us! Our doors are open to every nationality, every race! Leave your sinful past behind, and become one of us. Help us to make America great again."
Excerpt from Octavia Butler's Parable of the Talents, which takes place in America, 2032 (if I'm remembering correctly, the third-term president who is analogous to Trump first takes power in 2025):

I’ve never been opposed to post- or transhumanism because, as a Black person, I’ve never been made to feel fully human. There’s no emotional attachment to leave behind.

I’ve signed up for three of these workshops. They were all excellent. I’ve signed up for a course on #Afropessimism in December. There are writers’ workshops, theory courses, book discussions, and more. Check them out.
