Newly elected mayor Johnson’s answer to crime fears is stunningly brilliant. He’s handed us a powerful organizing tool.

Very good reading here.

I wonder if as we should see failures of the justice system to charge the cops who lynch Black kids as opportunities to demonstrate better methods eg . That sounds ghoulishly opportunistic but it's certainly healthier than than the state's answer. Engage the killer cops in conversations about their part in mending the injury they've done to the . This seems like the appropriate abolitionist response to me but I can see a lot of ways where it could be really dangerous and counterproductive.

However, this does not mean that is uniquely bad or corrupt, it is actually similar to many other platforms and technologies in the potential for both harm and good. Think about how the printing press was used to legitimize and justify colonialism and . Yet, anticolonial movements and used this same technology to promulgate and shape movements for freedom.

"This article analyzes debates on in and , between 1790s and 1840s. In different contexts, the reformers were divided between slaveholders and and discussed the insertion of Afro-descendants in the mentioned societies. The former defended not only slavery but the insertion of free slaves, blacks and mulattos as part of the heterogeneous Brazilian and Cuban population. However, abolitionists considered the mixture of races as an obstacle to the formation of the nation or the origin of social integration difficulties. Unlike slaveholders, they defended the homogeneity of the population, repudiated the disproportionate increase in 'internal enemies', and encouraged European immigration. The 'racialization' of the project for the nation was a trend more evident in Portuguese and Brazilian writings before the 1830s. In Cuba, the debate became more intense when the reformers detected an increase in the black and mulatto population from the decade of 1830."

Abolicionismo: Estados Unidos e Brasil, uma história comparada : século XIX by Celia Maria Marinho de Azevedo

Topics
, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Neste livro a autora de Onda Negra, Medo Branco dá continuidade aos seus estudos sobre a história da escravidão e da abolição através da comparação do abolicionismo nos Estados Unidos e no Brasil ao longo do século XIX. A história comparada do abolicionismo permite desvendar não só as ideologias com suas distintas imagens e proposições, como também as conexões entre abolicionistas americanos e brasileiros. O mito do paraíso racial brasileiro pode ser apreciado no seu próprio fazer através destes vínculos pessoais ou de influências recíprocas entre abolicionistas dos dois países, os quais por sua vez ressoavam diálogos com abolicionistas europeus. Do mesmo modo, pode-se perceber os diferentes significados que a Revolução do Haiti, a Guerra Civil Americana e a África suscitaram entre os abolicionistas, engendrando reflexões muito distintas sobre o destino do ex-escravo e o problema do racismo em cada país.
