Baby, I rebuke the negroliberal!
"Any time you throw your weight behind a political party that can't keep the promise that it made to you during election time...you’re not only a chump, you're a traitor to your race." – Malcolm X

I’m realizing it’s my God-given duty to take an edible, get on a spaceship and tell you what I find. And you know what? The saddest part of it all is that I still can’t even quantify my sorrow due to the presence of the negroliberal. Can I truly assign blame for an aberration that actually makes perfect sense for this timeline, given the circumstances? Blame for something that has been that has been in progress for centuries?
Eh, whatever. Playing the blame-game isn’t the point of this piece. The reason I even had to conceive of such an introduction is because frankly, I’m distraught. We are now at a point in history where we can no longer give a lot of Black people our attention simply because they are Black. This has been the truth for quite some time now, and the most recent electoral cycle in the United States has only codified that point into common knowledge. There are many Black people who would cast aside their ancestors, their kin, and everything their skin color is supposed to stand for simply so they can make a white man’s dollar.
The use of “white man’s dollar” is intentional, might I add. The only economy the Indigenous people of the world used pre-colonization was one based on reciprocity, or the act of joyfully giving and receiving gifts to ensure abundance for all. The white man’s dollar is the current means of production for this seventh layer of capitalist hell in which we reside. Through the acquisition of enough of these dollars, many Black people have successfully buried their responsibility of being God’s chosen resistors and would rather assimilate further into the aforementioned capitalist hell under the guise of “Black Excellence.”
To make matters even worse, some Black people are now using the struggles of their ancestors to hit back at those who rightfully critique their participation in oppressive systems like capitalism. To these individuals, anyone who rightfully critiques Barack Obama is anti-black, or if you give Kamala Harris the smoke, you’re engaging in misogynoir.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I swear, Malcolm X is rolling in his grave.
What properly set me over the edge, though, was a few Black people’s reactions to my creation of a positive narrative around Hasan Piker, also known as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, a Knight of the Realm, or internet user gfspeakz’s favorite prop to use when she’s driving home a point.

I made a video that laid out the power in Hasan presenting that absolutely lethal face card to the world accompanied by keffiyeh. He’s a man who fits squarely within eurocentric beauty ideals, which are extremely pervasive due to colonialism, so his act of associating all the reasons he is desirable with a resistance symbol is actually major. Additionally, lots of the people who thirst after him are either straight or white, which are two extremely powerful cohorts. The objects of these demographics’ desires are very often indicative of what will become mainstream or generally socially acceptable. Effectively propagandizing powerful groups of people is quite literally how we win. So as a bad bitch lesbian propagandist, I had to give this man my public cosign, because I understand how real life politics work.
Then, I started getting comments from Black women telling me they were “disappointed in me” for uplifting someone who “so clearly was anti-black.” Ironically, what kept me from getting into Hasan’s content for so long were these very same allegations, which I just automatically assumed to be correct because they were coming from Black women and usually, we’re right.
But little did I know, I wasn’t being influenced by Black women. I was being influenced by negroliberals, defined as a Black person who upholds oppressive systems by engaging in politically liberal tomfoolery.
Imagine my flabbergast when I discovered that the people who were initially lodging these claims that kept me away were just disgruntled Kamala Harris supporters who were pissed at Hasan’s refusal to bend the knee to a Black genocidal girlboss. Now, imagine how this flabbergast intensified when one of the commenters who was “disappointed in me” said that Hasan engaged in misogynoir when he allegedly leveraged his fanbase to bully a Black woman, only for the Black woman in question to be Candace fucking Owens. Yeah. The clown who willfully took photos with Kanye West at Paris Fashion Week wearing this stupid shit.
I thought we were all on the same page about this, but I suppose y’all are still in need of illumination, so here goes: all skin folk ain’t your damn kinfolk.
Candace Owens is probably one of the most insufferable individuals to exist on this planet. She’s a coonified imperialist race traitor who has no drip and is permanently barred from attending the cookout. She quite literally deserves all of the smoke she receives, and you will never catch me defending someone with such God-awful politics just because they’re Black. You could say the same thing about Eric Adams, Clarence Thomas or Linda Thomas-Greenfield. I super do not got it for y’all and I hope you forget how your ancestors seasoned food so you never experience true joy again.
So no. I don’t give a fuck that Hasan Piker allegedly “sent his fanbase to dogpile on a Black woman,” because not all Black women are worthy of my defense. Does this mean that Mr. Piker can’t fall into anti-black tendencies in the future? Absolutely not. That’s still a white man, and white men are some of the most fallible individuals you’ll ever meet. However, y’all not bout to come for my propagandist pookie bear on this one. With the strength of all my ancestors, I call forth my energy to wholly rebuke negroliberal activity from this moment forward. No weapon the negroliberal forms against me and mine shall prosper. May the negroliberal’s knife chip and chatter.
But before y’all get too excited, I just want to make one thing clear: I don’t want to hear the words “coon” or “negroliberal” leaving Caucasian lips, nor do I want to see it being typed by Caucasian thumbs. These terms are reserved for the most radical of us from the African diaspora, and I fear that is simply not y’all.
However, this doesn’t mean white people with better politics can’t rebuke this behavior when they see it. All you have to say is this: “Grace Fell would call you a race traitor.” The best way to defend a community you’re not part of is to simply directly quote their sentiments. Invoke me, baby, and watch how shit shakes.
And lastly, to those who fall into the negroliberal category who may be reading this: please understand that you can choose to rectify the error of your ways at any point. All humans can achieve redemption unless they consciously refuse it. I hate that you have gone down this path, but I do not hate you. Whether or not you return to reality with the rest of us will be up to you. Until then…enjoy your blue-eyed demonry.
With love,
Your G.F. xoxo
My God, you are good.
I enjoyed that so much - and laughed so loud - it made me feel guilty to do it.
Some of the best writing I'm seeing in any quarter these days.
<standing ovation>
Please keep rockin' it.
I laughed so I subscribed 😔 nah I’ve been subscribed but heavy on negroliberal! When BLM organization donated all that money we collected to the Democratic Party instead of MATERIALLY HELPING OUT THE COMMUNITY I knew we had a problem that needed to be addressed. And I’d like to add on the Black Capitalist (which arguably might be the same thing) onto this discussion! I don’t know if you’ve seen BP2025 (Black Project 2025) but the way that instantly derailed from it being a project to uplift black people to its own little capitalist stock market get rich quick venture was insanely quick. When TT shutdown I joined the discord to observe and see if this was a project I could assist and the first thing I see when I got in was a CRYPTO COIN ANNOUNCEMENT. Lord….got out of there FAST. We have to start having some discussions without trying to throw the racism card down to avoid accountability STAT and remember/ reform what we want to be our community values pronto
