Undebatables in Afrofuturism

---

Post-colonialism is false. We are still living in colonialism and are suffering its' effects. It has reshaped and adapted to take on many forms.

White fragility is an escape from the accountability of the privilege that was set up by racist, oppressive, 

criminal, social, and institutional systems.

Black folX can be both human and alien. Magical and normal. Extraterrestrial and terrestrial. We can co-exist in varying realities and identities.

We are operating on CPT.

AAVE language is only reserved for Black folX. No appropriating it and masking it as your own if you are not Black.

Black folX can be merry, have joy, and frolic...

without the threat of police being called on them...

or be assaulted...

or be confronted and questioned by white womXn with our being in a space.

I speak for my experience. I do not speak for all Black folX, nor is all our stories are the same. 

We encompass any narratives and have different experiences. We are all not the same.

Not all Black folX are poor, have rhythm/dance, can rap, nor will rap on cue when you demand it.

If the hair is on my head, don’t touch it nor say, “Where did you buy it?” or “It looks so real.” Mind your business.

Don’t counter my grievance with your grievance to minimize and suppress me.

Stop gaslighting Black WomXn when we speak up about our grievances.

The term Hotep should not be used to describe so-called “woke” Black folX.

And so-called “woke” Black folX need to stop gatekeeping information with patronizing, paternal condescension.

Code-switching is exhausting. Stop pushing “proper English.”

If you feel uncomfortable with my presence, do not expect me to make myself smaller to accommodate you. 

Your discomfort is between you and your god.

Black folX need to stop saying, “We are not our Ancestors.” Our Ancestors fought peacefully and burned shit down too. We are them.
