Police violence against non-white people is of course deeply rooted in American history, but police militarization is a concrete example of the empire coming back home. Cop City is basically a domestic military base aimed at using counterinsurgency tactics we’ve used abroad at home, for example

Remember that police violence at home that disproportionately targets black and brown people is the empire coming back home. The money we spend on war could be used to feed the poor, as Tupac said. There is no Black liberation, or liberation for any people, without an end to empire.

If Kendrick is gonna market himself as a revolutionary and be totally silent on ongoing Global South struggles that our government is deeply complicit in, then yes he’s gonna catch flak. His commentary on Black culture is great, but anti-imperialism is central to any radical politics

Is that what I said in that post? Everyone has a duty to oppose their own government’s genocidal policies, but if you’re gonna market yourself as a revolutionary, then yes being silent on Global South struggles is gonna get you called out

You can scroll my feed I post about Palestine, Sudan, Congo on a daily basis. Practical next steps? Mf I don’t control the levers of power, and we don’t live in a democracy, but theoretically ppl like Kendrick could pressure officials to stop aiding Israel/UAE/other countries fueling these genocides

Great performance but not “revolutionary” in the slightest
