Lmaaaaao at the time a British editor rejected a pitch and said it was ‘whataboutism of the worst kind’ to point out that massacre-enabling FW DeKlerk shared a Nobel Peace prize with Mandela while Winnie Mandela was interrogated in a special truth commission hearing.

.... for days on end. And now that there is a groundswell of white people agreeing that DeKlerk sucks, I’m curious whether he will rethink the exchange. Funny how often the views of a single black person need to be validated - otherwise you’re ‘too strident.’

And I’ve been thinking a lot about how this has happened time and again. Basic Black knowledge is now a commodity, and those who questioned you two years ago are rushing to publish those views like they are ‘cutting edge.’

It’s infuriating watching the Great White Awakening when literally three months ago these same exact people would have been tone policing you and now they wanna talk about race.

I don’t even mind doing the intellectual labour - this is my life and my work. What I resent is the ‘in vogueness’ of it and the absolute silence about the fucked up ways new converts operated like 3 weeks ago. Anyway, this is why our memories have always kept receipts.
