The impact that Assata Shakur has on me as a man is immeasurable. She is one of the most important Black revolutionaries to have ever lived. My daughter Diani recited one of her speeches as an intro for my latest album with Madlib, Liberation 2. Rest in power sister Assata. youtu.be/joD3kNzRphE?...

Telling a Black man to "stop fighting with racists" is racist. Telling a Black person how to behave at all, is racist. I'm not your slave.

I'm not trying to change their minds. I'm exposing them. You are creating safe spaces for them. You suck.

Whitesplain
The act of a caucasian person explaining to audiences of color the true nature of racism; a caucasian person explaining sociopolitical events and/or history to audiences of color as though they are ignorant children; a caucasian person explaining to audiences of color that what they think will benefit themselves and their families and communities will in fact harm them, and vice versa.

You have again gone after anti racists instead of racists. This seems to be a pattern with you. Language shaming is colonizer bullshit.

@blubeanie.bsky.social Right now at this moment there are at least 5 racists stalking and attacking me. Instead of calling them out, you are telling me to leave them alone because you believe they are bots.

That's not progressive. You are not the hero of this story. You are enabling racism.

Aguaman💦 @blubeanie.bsky.social · 13m

Why are you perceiving this as an attack? I’m literally parroting your concerns regarding institutionalized racism in the U.S.
You’re not making any sense.
Does my feed look like the one of a racist to you?

@stoobz.bsky.social Black people do not need your permission or approval to exist, racist weirdo.

Stoobz @stoobz.bsky.social · 15m

90% of black people are above the bottom 10%, if that makes you feel better.

@blubeanie.bsky.social Yes, instead of calling out the racist trolls who are stalking me, you're here talking about Turing tests for some weird reason. That's the problem. Stop trying to sound smart, stop creating safe spaces for racism, and join the damn fight.

Aguaman💦 @blubeanie.bsky.social · 15m

What? I’m talking about a Turing Test.

You lied and said I started arguments here. Why did you lie?

Talib Kweli @talibkweli.bsky.social · 15m

Why did you lie and say I started these arguments? Why did you blame a Black man for what you say bots do?

Talib Kweli @talibkweli.bsky.social · 16m

@blubeanie.bsky.social You know I'm Black, right? You think it's wise to be whitesplaining the Black experience to an actual Black American?

Aguaman💦 @blubeanie.bsky.social · 22m

The 13th Amendment doesn’t abolish slavery or even the slave trade. This helps to explain both the rise of the Prison Industrial Complex and the fact that black Americans are massively disproportionately falsely accused, arrested, detained, and incarcerated, often without a trial.

@0vert0ne.bsky.social "I'm white and I say so" doesn't work here. It's your opinion that this is a bot. Not a proven fact. These ain't receipts.

Let's say this is a bot. It's a bot programmed by a racist.

Telling people to ignore racism, even when you think it's a bot, is racist.

Talib Kweli @talibkweli.bsky.social · 19m

@stoobz.bsky.social is a racist. Call out ALL racism. Even if you think it's a bot.

Talib Kweli @talibkweli.bsky.social · 20m

It's not. It's a racist. And even if it was AI it was programmed by a racist.

So why are you protecting it?

Talib Kweli @talibkweli.bsky.social · 21m

Imagine being so incredibly racist, that you see a Black man constantly calling out racism, and your response is "I don't like how that Black person behaves!" ---> @stoobz.bsky.social @gideonsamuel.bsky.social

Stoobz @stoobz.bsky.social · 27m

Yeah. Have I tried to stop you from behaving how you like? I have described your behaviour. Just, accurately describing your behaviour is apparently racist.

Talib Kweli @talibkweli.bsky.social · 22m

I'm not your man. And I'm pretty sure you are challenging a Black target of racism instead of challenging racism.

Talib Kweli @talibkweli.bsky.social · 23m

@0vert0ne.bsky.social I have seen no proof that these are bots. Do you have any? No, you don't. Closeted racists like you get mad when the racist system is challenged, so y'all rush over to insist "it's just bots" instead of doing the right thing, which is to call out ALL bigotry. Nazi apologist.

Talib Kweli @talibkweli.bsky.social · 25m

@stoobz.bsky.social Your nazi friend @gideonsamuel.bsky.social calls himself a bully. So why would he mind?

So, you're angry because we hold nazis accountable by reminding them that we know they are nazis?

Then you are a nazi. Only a nazi gets mad when nazis are held accountable for being Nazis.

Talib Kweli @talibkweli.bsky.social · 29m

@0vert0ne.bsky.social
1 I ain't "most people" and if "most people" called out racism instead of demanding that Black folks ignore it, we wouldn't have a nazi pedophile as president. You're welcome.

2 When you see nazis coming to my page to start shit and you blame me for starting, you're a nazi.

@stoobz.bsky.social Slavery is OVER, white boy. Since you're confused about what that means, it means that Black people are NOT your slaves or your children. That means we get to behave however the fuck we want to behave and there is not a goddamn thing you lonely klanboys can do about it but cry.

Stoobz @stoobz.bsky.social · 33m

Yes. Based on her behaviour, not her race.

Like, I am treating people as individuals, because that is what they are. You are trying to collapse them into a racial category in order to deflect criticism of their behaviour.

@stoobz.bsky.social So you fancy yourself a math genius? Is that why you said over 50 percent of your favorite kind of anime has rape in the first scene? Receipts attached, creep.

Top Tip: When searching for hentai, if you include
"romance" in the searched tags, the chance of the protagonist raping anyone in the first episode is only a little above 50/50.

@stoobz.bsky.social Did a Black guy steal your girlfriend or something? Why are you projecting like this?

Speak for yourself. YOU are average, white boy. In a white supremacist system, ALL Black people are miracles.

Stoobz @stoobz.bsky.social · 37m

Black people are only average on average. Individual black people are individuals.

Talib Kweli @talibkweli.bsky.social · 38m

Show me where you, a racist who hides his face, like ICE does, has ever confronted ANYONE except for Black people online, much less ICE.

I'll wait.

You are conflating "median" with "average" which is the mean, and also using this to deflect from the fact that you used racist tropes about Black people being "below average".
You have also called @nubianiles.bsky.social (a Black woman) lazy and claimed she has "neurological issues".

@schramm29.bsky.social I am not your slave you racist piece of shit. I share whatever I want on my page. I don't need your approval or permission.

There's this cool
trick I do where I post whatever the fuck I want because this is my account, not yours.

Talib Kweli @talibkweli.bsky.social · 43m

@schramm29.bsky.social @stoobz.bsky.social @gideonsamuel.bsky.social Show me where ANY of you anonymous klanboys in hiding have ever confronted ANYONE except for Black people online, much less ICE.

I'll wait.

schramm29.bsky.social @schramm29.bsky.social · 44m

Your recounting of it is a subtle critique, you don't condemn ICE directly, but the moral judgment is implied through the woman’s reaction.

This is a softer form of activism: expressing moral truth through empathy rather than confrontation.

You just mad because you are an average racist who never amounted to nothing, so you out here like "but but but Black people are average too!!!"

I see you, colonizer.
