    “worry about yourself” is a black non sequitur insofar as it doesn’t respond to the one attempting to enact power in ways that cower to that desired enactment. and, also, it served as a non-response reply, warning and prophesy.

    I feel like the Natasha Tynes story is the perfect opportunity to remind people that maybe you shouldn't go out of your way to be an asshole. It's just nice to see repercussions happening for once.

    Natasha Tynes got a lot more than she bargained for when she took a picture of a rail employee eating breakfast on the train tweeted it with a complaint & tagged the woman’s employer. It was malicious & mean-spirited & Tweeps great & small came after her.

    so she couldna thought through what her actions might have meant because she only exists in a world where black women aren’t anything but nothing.

    did she think any of this would happen to *her*...? of course not. she can’t envision a world wherein black women are loved and cared for and cherished, not for being famous or wealthy or somehow otherwise “deserving,” but just because they are here and breathe ...

    (about black non sequiturs as a theory for [the] black living: )

    she thought: this black woman is nothing to me, to this world, so i will tell her what time to do. when that black woman refused with her black non sequitur, natasha felt embarrassed and went to authorities to attempt to displace her embarrassment onto the black woman.

    she wants to be in a city but not inundated with the fact that people live, have life, in the city. the smell and taste and touch and sound and sight of the city is what bothered her, her being annoyed to the point of discipline, however, is white supremacy in action.

    that natasha person wanted to be in a city but without the feel ... she thinks sensual experience as a confrontation with the fact of other people is an antagonism to her tranquility and sense of white supremacist calm.

    i always think about duke ellington’s “harlem airshaft” in times like this because part of the black radical tradition is taking what other folks desire to remove and discard and using that as the basis for sensual experience.

    these folks want the look and the comforts of a city but have a sharp and intense aversion to the *feel* of a city because they want whiteness as a way to literally displace folks in terms of sensual experience: touch, taste, smell, sound, sight.

    it’s like the folks in dc and gogo. i prolly wouldn’t wanna live on the block with the music if i was tryna sleep during the day. but i sure as hell ain’t complaining to the company or the cops because being in a city means being with people and their stuff.

    here’s the thing: it’s perfectly fine for you to be annoyed with people, making noise, eating food, being human. but to attempt to control and then when failing at that, attempting to get folks disciplined and fired? that’s that white supremacy bullshit.
