In this post, I demonstrate graphically, materiality from Near Eastern (Israel included), Mediterranean, Asia, and premodern African contexts that the fetish is not a marker of African “primitivity.” Rather, it reveals, most tellingly, Christianity’s troubled relation to the material sacred.

However, at its core, the term “fetish” has been deployed as a colonial tool to undervalue and delegitimize African notions of value and sacredness.

With this background, the fetish is inseparable from the history of religion, insofar as it has long persisted as a constitutive element within universal religious practice itself.

OK i get what this is about: Eagles won the SuperBowl and someone somewhere is salty. then watched the replay and came up with the idea to ban the “tush push” because no team does it better than the Eagles. good!

what a contrast to the earthly reality! bruh, even their white corpses segregate against your black ass corpse. think about it!

we love to see it tumble down like the “walls of jericho”—if that was ever historical

ha. let’s see it!
