It’s so clear that the way people engage “anti-blackness” as a concept is simply as “racism towards Black people” as opposed to an ontological framework through which we can understand how societies are *organised* around Black people always living in close proximity to death

So people try and appropriate the discursive underpinnings of “anti-blackness” and try and map it onto other racialised groups who experience marginalisation. “Anti-blackness” has a whole theoretical body of work that describes this phenomena.

I’m seeing an uptick in people describing various racialised prejudices as “anti-“ whilst trying to use the same ontological framing of how anti-blackness functions. It... doesn’t work like that.

There have to be other ways to describe certain phenomena without lifting a condition that is not and can never be the experience of that group. That, in and of itself, is yet another way that anti-blackness functions. Some things do not work “the other way round”.
