The implication is integrationist. Winston was one of those overly-optimistic brothers who not only thought that the settlers not only should, but could ‘take the lead in the struggle’ against racism and oppression; and as a result, we shouldn’t have a reason to want to split away from again, the colonizers.
Frankly I find it kinda disgusting for some know-nothing fanfiction-writing cracker to claim that the internal colony theory is ‘wrong’, ESPECIALLY in the face of an Amerika that prosecutes us differently, incarcerates us differently, and still straight-up lynches us in the streets every time a cop gets called. Like, who the fuck is he to decide that? Who the fuck is this sun-dodging scoundrel to try and lash us back into boxes he can understand? If I’m honest, after every other writing I’ve seen out of Rainer thus far, this reads as little more than the longplay to turn Black folk into patsoc coons.
That’s what I thought too. New Afrikans aren’t colonized people anymore?? I don’t remember giving crackers permission to decide for us what our positions and material conditions are, especially when it’s coming from a settler colonialist perspective.
The tweet says in summary that there is no black internal colony and thus instead of black nationalism people should fight for a multi-racial socialist America.
he hasn’t had decent takes in a few months, he’s gone full patsoc and not only that, but he’s one of the most nonsensical ones. But I have no idea what the significance of this quote is
This seems to be the gist of his point, that new Afrikans are not an internal colony in the U$. I’m not really interested in reading his article about it, as I’m kind of done with him.
I’m not american enough to get it?

Thanks for the explanation!

Me neither. That guy usually has some decent takes so I wonder what’s being implied here.

Who is Henry Winston and why does he have the authority to deny importing millions of slaves to work under settler overseers is colonialism?
My thought’s exactly! I’ve never heard of him, but I don’t really want to read what Rainer wrote either.
I edited my comment at the trunk of this thread with context.
No way? I haven’t read his stuff in a long while. I thought that patsoc shit was dying down.
