@taharka2018 have you ever read this? Real life recolonization of a decolonized space with bedroom colonialism at the root at various levels.
-
Read it, beckification is incredibly evident as to be expected from a victim.
There is an individual who has a similarly contradictary stance on violence.
They will have no hesitance talking about violence against “criminal lumpen elements” in Jamaica, while talking about not doing violence against “non-combatant” Eurasians.
They also say “working class” women in JA should stop having children because they create units of poverty that serve capitalism.
The ideological vector of compromise is there (Marx ancestor veneration), but I strongly suspect the biogenetic vector is an additional vector as he exhibits certain symptoms.

What do you think about making this a publication to exemplify bedroom colonialism and its repercussions?
-
Blacktastic, I’m down!
There is quite a bit to unpack, esp the mulatto factor you told me about.
-

Fact-finding committee chair, Prof. Adomako Ampofo and member Dr. Mjiba Frehiwot (who orchestrated the whole thing) are both mulattos.

I’m sure he saw something similar from mulattos at coward jewniversity.
-
I could only imagine the Petionism he observed.
-
I think tying in the convergence of biogenetic and ideological vectors of compromise in Fanon is also important.

Very much so. The layers of bedroom colonialism in this is epic. I was also just thinking about this in terms of how colonialism may not register for some. We have a homeschool collective and a parent has a friend married to a pakistani who wants her daughter to be a part. Apparently, because, in her mind, Black people weren’t colonized by pakistan, it’s fine. We’re like Kmtyw only having learned from what happens when you allow aAmw in. I’m thinking we may need something equally or more versatile when it comes to those hypnotized by people of color, Black and brown solidarity, south-south cooperation and other vectors of disintegration of the Black whole.

Also, did a brief glance on these malevolent mulattoes — I strongly suspected they were in anti-complementary gender studies, and mi pree di ting…I recall one of them was also complaining about “religious activities” in a presentation of yours when you did libation — Frehiwot

I definitely understand the dangers of ‘bedroom colonialism,’ but for many Pro Kmytw black women trapped in U.S. cities as well as others outside of the US it is difficult to meet up with like minded ‘bros’ even the ones who claim to be ‘Afrikan centered’ they often practice colorism and other residue of bedroom colonialism. That is one reason why there is a growing number of black women who are ‘divesting’ and being open to dating outside lest they will be beyond child bearing years still hoping a brotha will choose them. This is what I see often in the ‘pro black/Kmytyw community here in KC . Also, here where I reside BM show hostility and disdain for BW who express themselves culturally in their dress, etc. I’ve had BM not give me their seat while I’m riding on a full bus with no seats, then a WM or other non black males have offered me their seats and the so called BM will say something to the WM/others like, “bro, you can have my seat” or some other coonery because they felt some sort of way about them offering me their seat. It was like how dare you give that *bleep* your seat Also, I’ve seen how wazungu dude has had to tell the so called black male to “chill I’m offering the lady my seat” when they observe their ‘friend’ have attitude about them doing something they should’ve done. I have had this happen to me at least three times this month and during the summer so have other BW ‘pro black’ and not ‘pro black.’

The dynamics would probably be different in TZ or KE. @AdjoaGathoni
-
Probably. the same bedroom colonialism mindsets are on the continent too though especially Kenya. I’m still en route to go there and remain… eventually.

Nothing to it but to do it.
-
I saw alot of this in Gambia in April. Young Kmtyw men with dutty old sour yurugu women. Made me feel sick as they were walking hand in hand and kissing on the beaches

@Iye.TemeOckiya Re: Mandingo Huntresses in Kmtyw lands —
Economic vector + biogenetic vector + ideological vector-
It is honestly horrible to see in person.

Kansas City, Missouri United SnaKKKEs Midwestern State. Very big Anti Black atmosphere there. I call it a ‘honky tonk’ spirit.
-
ok I thought so but wanted to check because for some reason I thought you lived on the motherland continent!! Maybe that soon come!
-
My cousin lives there. She told me the horrors

@AdjoaGathoni The ideological issue you raise, is also for Pan-Afrikan men. I think, however, the nuance with sisters is that the bedroom colonialism factor is more evident in the USnakkes and UKKK because of how the buckra woman gwaan. If you go to some parts, both kmtyw men and kmtyw women are similarily engaged in this almost. Di buckra dem a steer these black sinkingships — they exploit our cultural dislocation
-
Sadly I know of a few Kmtyw women in the ukkk that I know personally that “divested” to date and have children with yurugu men because of the rhetoric of there being no available Kmtyw men
-
-
@Iye.TemeOckiya I think they weren’t really black invested to begin with — if they procreated with yurugu. Also, they tend to be looking for a certain type of Kmtyw man — usually “respectable”, not so much Pan-Afrikanist. That said, the mandingo huntress ting is serious there

@AdjoaGathoni Re: aesthetic afrophobia (colorism, texturism and dem ting), I don’t know how “often” the problem is amongst kmtyw men and kmtyw women. Oftentimes, because of desireability politics w/ women in the USnakkkes, we don’t always point it out and also men may be a bit more direct about their aesthetic afrophobia. Ex, Usain Bolt has discussed this in JA context via “colorism”.
-
Did Usain acknowledge he has a colorism issue cause he don’t deal with darkskinned Afrikan women?
-
I don’t recall if he said it about himself in the discussion I saw (I doubt it thought)…but he has a beckification issue f’sure.

beckification reminds me of a mantra that I shared with my first Wolof teacher, also a grad student, when I was at uw-madison: “amul becky”. No beckys. He, however, promptly jumped ship and got with a becky in the program. It’s deep.

@AdjoaGathoni Re: Afrikan-centered spaces, I don’t know how often it occurs, but when it is present I do not see any critiques or critical analysis given — that is a problem. These “preferences”, as they call them, for mulatto and proxy-eurasian features has to be confronted as aesthetic afrophobia/anti-blackness
