Black people: always used as positive or negative foils for non-black movements for justice (@AWeheliye writes about this in recently book).

Black pain is so... available. That's disturbing. Why is black pain so available to the rest of us, who don't even feel it?
-
We feel our own unique pain, but find it hard to even claim it without comparing it to black pain. Negatively. Or positively. Damn.

I don't ask for your reading suggestions enough, and therefore wind up with books that are just so-so. What are you reading that's good?
-
I'm currently re-reading Atilo Boron's Imperio Imperialismo pretty much as a promise to a friend. What should I read next?
-
In case I haven't made it clear, go read Weheliye's Habeas Viscus. You'll find yourself reaching back for it all the time.
