to be fair, there are billions of what you call "brown people" who are dedicated followers of beliefs like islam, astrology, ancestor worship, magicks (both white and black) and such.

I seriously doubt there are billions of brown people, in my day to day life I rarely see even one

most of them only have dumbphones and eat with their fingers so you're not missing anything

Not to mention all the 'brown people' in Brazil who voted for Lula and Rousseff.

over here he is. white american leftists deciding who is non-white/ POC is not much different from neonazis saying greeks, italians or spaniards aren't white when it suits whatever weird rhetorical aim they're going for at that particular second. the difference is the leftist's one drop rule comes off as more autisticly racist (also gay)
"no you see my old friend of 20 years who i always thought of as white until the most recent batch of tumblr posts, the latest and most modern in gringo thought rightly characterizes you as a "POC" because we have to use the thinking of a caricature of a racist from 1890s american south as our point of reference forever. You see, underneath it all you're still just a nigger in thsi world. im totally pwning your race and we must do something about it, its like you cant ever escape my neverending victory, im so raping you, we must stop this inferior status of yours. be more like my american gangsta waifu"
HenryKrinkle posted:a lot of tumblr-types take pains to specify "anti-blackness" as a distinct and severe form of racial oppression that other PoC can't really relate to. they even have an acronym "NBPoC" for "non-black people of color."
That makes sense to me. How do honorary whites like Arabs and Desi relate to actual black oppression? And East Asians who call themselves "POC" must feel funny. But that concept only exists for fussy academia types anyway.
I think Prospero was having a stroke and I don't understand what he's saying, but it's not about left or right, that kid just isn't white and the Brazilian whites wouldn't recognize him as white.
Cheers.

sorry about that.
it's just that a lot of ppl on twitter often use the "anti-blackness" allegation to beat down harsh criticisms of Obama or comparisons of the Palestinian struggle with the US black Civil Rights movement. so, instead of confronting the racism of Arab-American grocers in Detroit or anti-black pogroms in Libya, they would rather pile on Palestinian solidarity activists for bizarre reasons.
despite that blatant abuse of the framework, it is largely a correct one.
