“[Black people] cannot enter into a structure of recognition as a being, an incorporation into a community of beings, without recognition and incorporation being completely destroyed. We know that we are the antithesis of recognition and incorporation. And sometimes we build to a point that we can’t even call it political because it’s bigger than politics, a point of mobilization and organization and theorization that is in some way informed by this, and we just set it off, and I think that Harriet Tubman, Nat Turner, and the Black Liberation Army are episodes of that. But the response to these moments, where we recognize that we cannot be recognized and we move on that, the response is so overwhelmingly violent… it seeks to crush us to the point that nobody ever gets that idea in their head again.”— Frank B. Wilderson, III | We’re Trying to Destroy the World: Anti-Blackness & Police Violence After FergusonBlackLivesMatter represents that moment of an attempt at recognition and incorporation right now. This bombing of the NAACP headquarters in Colorado Springs, like has so often been the case already, represents the crushing white supremacist response. -- source link
