I have been off social media b/c of family stuff so only just caught up. I am angry to see NBPOC on #MedievalTwitter pulling this misogynoir & repeating White supremacist conspiracy theories. When did “critique” meant spouting fascist talking points? #ShakeRace #RaceB4Racehttps://twitter.com/erik_kaars/status/1272886332122071057 …

Dare we call it systemic anti-Blackness? After all, we observe this tactic in our media all the time: use one "native informant," to go after the whole group. Also, as you point out, jockeying for position on the white supremacist racial hierarchy.

It is the full replication of white feminism and then white patriarchy & all its terrible practices. It was full “know your place aggression” but by BIWOC to other Black women. It is using the white supremacist practices for what? To build or organize 4 what community? What gaze?

It was all in the service of the myth of individual genius. No empathy. No community. No care.
