S E1288: In Class with Carr, Ep. 288: Moving Targets

In this moment in US history, fear has been weaponized as a political tool, using white nationalist rhetoric to target anyone who can be cast as a political enemy. Terms like “The Left” become labels for “enemies of the people” of “enemies of our country,” shifting categories that include anyone who refuses to conform to narrow and white nativist politics. Whenever claims of blameless white nationalism collapse, the claims simply change shape, becoming more and more nonsensical and impossible to pin down. The only constant is that “the people” and/or “our country” remain exclusionary concepts propelled forward always by fear and hatred of moving targets of perceived enemies.

Meanwhile, African people—both descendants of the trafficked and the rest of the Black world—are a fixed entity among the moving targets. The wider non-White world and all those who choose to act in solidarity with our common humanity over racial exclusion are judged in relation to their generosity, seen as weakness by those who choose exclusionary fear and hate instead. As a result, threats to everyone’s lives are real and persistent in a Social Structure where anyone can become an enemy at any moment. But there is another reality: The reality of our vastness, our reach and our capacity to outlast fear-based politics. We are everywhere, impossible to silence or eliminate. Every attempt to destroy us only reveals the hatreds at the heart of white supremacy and the politics of fear. We cannot be erased. And we can and must act to change the world.
