complaining about how there isn’t a Palestinian Lives Matter, how unfair it is that libs just looooooove Black people so much

What the fuck are they talking about? Black liberation activists have been one of the most, if not the most, committed groups in the US to Palestinian liberation. Concern trolling about the BLM slogan is bad enough, but doing it in relation to Palestine is fucking unhinged

I was surprised when I first read that you’ve been getting this shit from nominal leftists, but then I remembered how the Atlanta DSA used and disrespected the black organizers they collaborated with. When the Ex-DARC Letter came out, they doubled down on their behavior in their “apology” and purged those of us who called them out

This shit sucks

She is really representative of her district. I live in it and it’s bad

I’m talking about ones that existed alongside the pre-civil war South, before they were driven out. It comes up as context in works that discuss a black slave fleeing to a nation where they’re also a slave, but it’s been a while since I read about that

That said, it’s usually a safe bet that a system is better than or equal to black slavery in the US, because that perpetual, heritable, racialized chattel slavery is virtually an endpoint for the logic of slavery. Not all forms of slavery involve the following:

• Permanent slave status
• Slaves transferable and heritable as property
• Slave status for all descendents in perpetuity
• If not “owned”, still designated as a slave by skin tone, to be captured and auctioned
• No family rights - married couples, parents, children all sold apart
• No rights at all, can be tortured or killed by owner

Most prominent systems of slavery haven’t involved many or any of those points, but ours usee them all. You can even contrast this system with a more precedented one in the same country, for Irish sharecroppers specifically

As far as I’ve ever read, not even the ones trying to integrate with practiced perpetual, heritable, racialized chattel slavery

Presumably individuals integrating fully into white society did, but in any indigenous group I’ve read about remaining separate and holding slaves, slaves had far and away more rights than did black slaves in the US

Rome’s swine are petty as fuck. I made this account just to post local news, because this shit just keeps getting proudly reported
