Smack A Whiteboy: Mentalist US identity politics.

yeah but does that mean you have to go round constantly feeling guilty for being white and having to ask some dickheads if it's okay to have a meeting?

The lauhable thing is the APOC twats who took issue to the crimethinc kids having the event in a 'non white' part of town aren't from that part of town either and the locals didn't give a shit.

of course not, but this is the essence of the apoc nobbers insanely written defense of the action.

Yeah, like I said it's a bit of a mental defence, like arguging that it's wrong for white folk to walk down the street without getting hassled by the police and so setting up some sort of unofficial black police force to harass white people.

It's completely fucking mental and misses the fact that many people have made intelligent criticisms of Crimethinc's drop out politics and how it's often only possible from a position of middle class privilege and reeks of poverty tourism. Of course APOC being loons have to chalk it all up to race and then do some sort of direct action about it.
 
CrimethInc's version of events will be even loopier, when they get around to it.

*adds self to mailing list*
 
Hey man!! They're making a differencen, man!1! Take your whitey limey colonial muthafuken mindsets and remember we fucked you at Boston, man!!!

...is roughly how both groups would reply to this thread...

I don't think apoc care about white people feeling guilty, I think they're more about that heady kick you get from a lovely nice hit of self-justified race hate. Can't blame the jooz all the time, good to get abit of variation.
 
I see what they are doing with womyn and persyn. Trying to avoid patriarchal implications of 'son' and 'man'.

The sort of ridiculous shit that belongs in the 70's

Indeed, and person doesn't have any overtones of 'son' unless you're an illiterate yank hole-in-the-air cunt. It's from the etruscan 'phersu' meaning a mask. And woman from the old english 'wifman' is from a time before 'man' had the modern meaning of a male adult - it just meant a human (humyn?), and if you wanted to be specific then a male was a werman. Fucking around with spelling is not a way to combat gender inequality, it's just a way to convince the world at large that you're an inane fuckwit that needs to be kicked hard until you desist or perish.
 
Depressing nonsense all round. The twin evils of the USA's lack of any mass working class socialist movement since the 1920s and also its deep racial segregation continue to plague lefties and anarchoes over there.
 
What I find hilarious is that they are "People of Color"[sic] which means they are probably just a load of middle class asian and mixed race kids.
 
There's a certain amount of unintentional comedy in the way half the posters have to preface their replies with a detailed genealogy of themselves and their 'genetic heritage'. I'm sure I could never join their little club since due to a somewhat murky family background I'll probably never know exactly what mine is. Maybe I need a separate organisation for Persons of Unknown Provenance.

American's are obsessed with that shit, they break it down to 1/8's too often enough.

I'm going to see if I can become an international member of APOC by stating my mixed catholic and protestant background and the fact I'm a persyn from England's first colony. :D
 
Merely a few dozen political hobbyists screaming at each other, thank goodness.

I have the same opinion of them that I have of European anarchists. They're just doing this to give themselves a sense of meaning and purpose until they finish growing up.

Let us know how you get on.

The best bit about the genealogical obsession over there is how totally wrong about it they usually are. According to Ms Loop, 'Irish' connections of unbelievable tenuousness are rife....
 
I'm going to have to disagree with you there, because it seems they care a lot. :D

You don't understand racist mindset. Those identified as the 'enemy race' object is not understood to have any meaningful capacity to feel anything (other than the thirst to destroy and steal), they are merely repulsive objects of derision.

The vitriol isn't a matter of caring what the 'enemy race' object "feels", it's about unifying what the 'real humans' feel, soldiarity, "to identify by what we are not" to paraphrase Ursula LeGuin in her book, The Dispossesed.:D

Like I said, no hope for em. Class War? Nah, Class Conquered.

I'm not sure why it should mean that, but I do find this odd near-revival of the term 'coloured' funny.

I think it's intended to cover everyone who doesn't count as white. In the US, Hispanic people count as 'people of colour', I believe, since they don't count as white.

There used to be a similar notion, in Britain, of being politically black. I know a white Jewish man (atheist of Jewish family history) who was told by a south London housing co-op that he counted as black. This worked to his advantage, since they were looking for new 'black' members, not white ones.

In any case, I am looking forward to wimin being called 'people of gender'

Identifying as APOC and white just looks fucking weird to me. I wonder how many committee meetings they needed to justify that to themselves? Massive step backwards, you'd think.

We're all black on the inside, baby. :cool:
