Thank you for this, Brotha! I missed this one so I will circle back to it. In the meantime, I think it was the third prompt on race and politics that grabbed me.

Race is purely a political conception at its inception. To speak in terms of race is already to be trapped in the matrix of modernity/ colonization, where  the only humans are of Euro descent, and  so any other claims to humanity can only be performed, because other people do not exist. If you want to talk about our actual value you cannot speak in the language of race. It becomes circular  reasoning in a game you cannot win by definition because you don’t actually exist.

Outside the plantation/reservation/modernity/matrix is the only place we can actually exist , and in the US that space is fraught as well.

But there is a third space, a place transcendent . . . .
