afropessimism harnesses the power of black depression to create...more depression.

it also flattens most other styles of black political discourse as naive discourses of “hope”. this ignores the deeper more powerful impact of black feminist practices of faith in the face of darkness.

ultimately afropessimism can’t deal with love and its politics for radical transformation. it would much rather deem that as some kind of fragile unsophisticated notion.

that type of cynicism comes from whiteness. sorry not sorry #afropessimism

it is also highly patriarchal bc it does not attend to the affects and power of care. it relegates that realm to femmes and considers it unintellectual and unimportant.
