The Treaty of Fort Jackson (also known as the Treaty with the Creeks) was signed on this day in 1814 at Fort Jackson in Alabama. The treaty was agreed upon in the aftermath of the defeat of Red Stick (Upper Creek) resistance by U.S. forces at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend.
The treaty was the “largest single Indian cession of southern American land”, according to historian Michael Rogin - around 23 million acres in Alabama and Georgia. The U.S. forces won with the battle with the help of allied Cherokee and Lower Creek forces friendly to the American side.
The terms of various treaties with the Creek nation would go on to be consistently violated by Americans colonizing the south.

Funniest thing about hollywood movies is that 90% of the time there’s an arab main character, they get an israeli to play them.
Wait what??? Another pro of not watching 90% of the slop produced there fucking hell…

Petition to ban white people from talking about (cis) gender dynamics, please. There’s an exhausting thread with a lot of dogshit takes going on right now, not entirely full of white people, but a lot of generalizing white masculinity culture to all men. I just do not and cannot trust people saying “death to men” and “masculinity is the whiteness of gender”. There are too many examples of nonwhite men being demonized, dehumanized, and murdered, and trans women have been swept up in those dragnets as well, ans white women have been instrumental in that too. Someone more educated has probably written about this but I just don’t feel capable of writing it up coherently
Death to men= when bad things happen to racialized men, it’s okay to ignore them because they’re men
Yes! A comrade was running a reading group of Mohammed el-Kurd’s book Perfect Victims wherein he talked about why he had to recenter men. Men are part of the community, and the western press (when it deigns to talk about Israel’s atrocities at all) says in the same breath that it’s terrible to kill women and children but fine to kill men. And future men, as in boys, as in children. But when the men are murdered, the women aren’t going “thank god we’ve been freed from our oppressive males”, no, they mourn their brothers, their sons, their husbands, their uncles, their friends.
Shit, even boys can be subject to the same treatment. I remember there were a couple of times where teenage Palestinian boys were described as something along the lines of “underage men” or something like that in mainstream media sources.
“Military-aged males” was the language used by the Bush administration and carried over by Obama. They never stopped using it.
I remember getting in arguments with people who were saying women in Palestine are being attacked by Palestinian men so they exclusively need help. Or seeing BS of people only donating to women for Palestine, absolutely dumb stuff.
That’s vile.
I’ve been saying this, and honestly, truthfully, what might be a hot take (at least with most of the left-wing cracKKKers I interact with, though I’ve seen more nuance on this from some fellow POC) is that I actually do not trust misandry.
Of course, it’s not me saying it’s “as bad as misogyny” or validating the woes of incels who want to deny that society is patriarchal.
But ISTG, every time I see a white (cis) woman talk about how “evil” men are, I do not assume she is just some “girlboss” who is innocuously punching up at her oppressors. I believe she is most likely a transphobic, racist bioessentialist who’d never acknowledge the dangerous power that she has over men of color, especially since it is the rule, not the exception, for white women to have a very self-centered approach to injustice and only care about oppression that personally affects them.
And there is actual discrimination involved in this, the bigotry against immigrant men who are the main target of right wing propaganda especially in Europe, it paints Arab and African men specifically as "SA"ers and thieves and is used to justify hate crimes. There’s the fact that even human right organizations use “women and children” to refer to civilians in wars against third world countries, as if to say “it’s okay to kill Iranian, Palestinian, Lebanese, Yemeni and all other browns if they are men”. POC men also face gender specific fetishisation.
The amount of times Machismo gets brought up to explain the “depravity” of LATIN CULTURE annoys the hell out of me, as if Anglos don’t view Latinas as some sort of walking sex toy
When Kopmala lost to Trump so many whites were blaming latinos, esp men, cause “they’re so sexist they would never vote for a woman to have power over them” while ignoring many if not most latam countries have had at least one female president while the us has had 0 lmao
White people who have any kind of marginalization will hide under it to be vile racists. See white women complaining about all men while historically owning slaves, including black male slaves, white trans and queer people acting like they’re the biggest victims of everything while appropriating the statistics, lived experiences and the murders of trans and queer racialized people for their own gain and being racist to poc cause “they’re homophobic/transphobic” or another bs excuse while they kill us all under the rainbow banner of lgbt rights and feminism (see the list of trans murder victims of any year and you can count on one or two hands the number of white ones out of all named). Hell even this supposed leftist site had a whole struggle session about how you’re a raging ableist if you had any kind of negative feelings about a white man who screamed the n slur with a hard r to a group of black men lmao. Anything about the “evil men/cishet/whatever” can be dismissed 90% of the time when it comes out from the mouth of a white mf cause dig deep enough and you’ll see that rhetoric being used for racist shit. I could say more but other comrades have said it already in this thread. In conclusion: yes all crakkkers.
The cracKKKers of this site tend to always assume good of white women and white queers. They’ll see a white women spew shit against “all men” and never stop for a second to wonder if her definition of “men” might include trans women or if she is aware of the racial violence she could enact on men of color*. I feel like I rarely ever see struggle sessions related to gender, but I do recall some. The way this site handles gender dynamics is less likely to be scrutinized, but on racial subjects? That’s where people especially get uncomfortable and always want to cause a ruckus. That’s how we were able to have so many separate struggle sessions about Ansarallah being “antisemitic.” This is also why this time I saw some liberal white man on some Instagram reel say “White people treat Black people the way men treat women” made me uncomfortable. That kind of framing greatly misses the point and is so damn reductive. It’s reminding me of that John Lennon song, too (you know the one). The compartmentalization is annoying as well. People might think shit like “In Western countries, a Black man is privileged over a white woman in terms of gender, but the white woman is privileged over him in terms of race,” but that’s not actually how it works. You cannot separate the way gender factors into racial dynamics here. The way gender is handled on these two bodies is not something that exists in a vacuum, detached from any other aspect about them, so people shouldn’t oversimplify that shit.
*Though this didn’t happen with a “white” Western country, this is also reminding me of this time we had this post uncritically celebrating South Korea’s 4B movement and then everyone who was cheering that shit on felt embarrassed and started deleting/editing comments when someone commented that said movement is actually horrible in many ways. Such includes transphobia and how they are really more so the product of internalized racism (i.e., they are against sex with Korean men, but sure as hell don’t mind sex with male Western tourists, akin to the “divestor” shit you see among a small portion of Black women)
Here’s what I don’t understand, though: how the fuck can someone hear of a “female separatist movement” in SSouth KKKorea of all fucking places and then be baffled when that movement is extremely bioessentialist. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think there has ever been a time when female separatism HASN’T been bioessentialist. If it wasn’t, chances are there would have to be very awkward conversations about how trans and non-binary people factor into this shit, and these movements certainly do not permit such nuances. Their approach is already undialectical as fuck and tries to reduce “dismantling patriarchy” to individual acts of abstinence against men.
you have articulated exactly how i felt about 4B. certain communities at least acknowledged it had transphobic elements, but this thread is literally the only place i’ve seen discuss its pro white men angle.
While all the “antizionist Jews” “academic left” and influencer activist class was having a meltdown about “Hamas Oct 7 violence bad”, this is how the subaltern welcomed October 7th 2023.

The more I hear from him the more I wonder why he’s given such a long leash by the “left”. Like I’ve heard some people say, yeah he’s bad on trans/queer rights and he gets into the ID pol shit, but it feels like those aspects are minimized way too much. I was hearing a clip from his interview (or discussion?) with Hasan and he was talking about the recent wave of demsoc victories in US primaries and he goes into this thing about how those campaigns didn’t focus on ID pol, but the ID pol was “baked in” because most candidates were candidates of color with names to match. And its like… ok. For someone that talks about ID pol so much, to say that one’s identity as a minority is political in and of itself is just, blegh. Basically indistinguishable from right-wing talking points.
But I’m learning that its all just par for the course. Zizek still gets play from leftists. Platner had defenders right up until he was accused of SA by a white woman.

This has been a problem for decades:
I’m suspicious of any Negro be he politician be he clergyman or civic leader who is constantly patted on the back. I have a tendency to lead toward the Negro politician who is constantly condemned by the white power structure. This is my thought pattern I’m giving you an insight of it. In other words if a black man cannot have a white man as a friend he may have a white man who’s friendly but being friendly and being a friend I think are two different things.
First time I met Herbert Hill personally was when they were picketing to stop the working on the Harlem Hospital in Harlem. Negroes for 10 years had to fight the city to get an annex built on the Harlem hospital because in Harlem we need a hospital more so than anything else. Our people are sick plus we do a lot of cutting and shooting of each other (though we profess to be nonviolent) and Herbert Hill brought his forces out and stopped the working on that. This is the first time I ever saw him. Then, when work was brought to a halt on a hospital in Harlem, the same Negroes tried to stop the work at the downstate medical center in Brooklyn which is predominantly white. They were out there for three months during the summer…couldn’t stop anything and I never saw him. But he’ll be out there on time now whatever something takes a stoppage of something that’s going to affect the white man. You find the white liberal absent when it involves something that primarily will affect the best interests of black people, and black people only, then that white liberal is [absent]. President Herbert Hill is the labor secretary for the NAACP and if he was interested in black people he would prepare a black man with the type of knowledge and understanding of the labor troubles involving black people that would enable a black man to sit in the same position as secretary of labor or labor secretary NAACP.
I’m suspicious of whites who joined Negroes and always have to be in the lead, who always have to be the head, who always have to be at the top in Negro organizations. Those whites who really have the interest of blacks at heart give some advice to some Negroes and stand on the sidelines but don’t join the organization and then get at the head of it and pose as a friend of Negroes.

White people, even so-called “allies,” always have to be in charge. They can’t undo their white supremacist brainworms, even when trying to be anti-racist. They tackle racism from the perspective of the White Savior, who knows better than anyone, rather than attacking racism in pursuit of true equality.

crackers crawling out the woodwork to deflect criticism of kkkontrapoints into veiled accusations of transphobia
White trans women can do no wrong you know? It’s all the “cishet” uppity racialized evil hoards out to get the poor little smol white bean.
Sorry your emotional support trans political commentator is shit. Maybe get a better one.
Also isn’t philosophytube a little more based and also trans? Why don’t they stand behind her?
philosophytube a little more based and also trans? Why don’t they stand behind her?
IIRC her video on Palestine wasn’t good too, her video “Rationalising Colonialism - How the US Stole Indigenous American Land” brings up anti semitism and doesn’t stand on any side, which makes a lot of sense when you realize she was in a star wars show
Maybe our (left) issue is we spend too much time dickriding for political youtubers. These people aren’t movement leaders, they’re talk show host at best and nothing more
Edit: thanks for background I can’t keep up with all these influencers
Politicians get treated like celebrities, celebrities get treated like politicians.
Yeah, I’m really not a fan of her. The fact that she only seems “based” in comparison to KKKontraPointSS ain’t sayin’ much
Why do you post every racist thing she says in the comm dedicated to posting shit reactionaries say? (Ignores the fact that nobody posts every single thing she says) (Ignores all the cis racist crackers that get posted)

British dude saying that China is doing imperialism by flooding Hong Kong with “mainland colonizer tourists” is possibly the perfect encapsulation of the cracker “left”. Yes this was actually said, in real life.
Same way they say China is colonizing Africa by helping develop hospitals etc instead of enslaving and killing the population like good ol’ euros! Also a brit accusing anybody of colonizing Hong King is rich.
British sexpats love to constantly whine and complain about how Hong Kong is being ruined by mainlanders, enabled by white-worshipping Hong Kong liberals. Western media in 1997 also threw a hysterical hissy fit over China “stealing” Hong Kong. The HK subreddit has a meltdown every other day about China trying to brainwash HK students by teaching them that colonialism is bad.
Britain also did the classic thing of sowing seeds of ethnic hatred before they got kicked out so now you have nativist white-worshipping libs doing Hitlerite levels of racism against people that are ethnically and culturally basically identical to them, they themselves being seldom more than 2 generations removed from the mainland. They hate mainlanders even if they are Cantonese-speakers, because they don’t speak it with a Hong Kong accent. It’s a running joke in mainland circles that you are better off speaking Japanese in Hong Kong than Mandarin.
This is a tragic thing to read. Whites spread their racial hatred so readily. How long do you think before the rot is rooted out of the Hong Kong psyche?
I don’t think it’s going to improve within the lifetime of anyone alive today. Officially the two systems with Hong Kong self-governance could end in 2047, but Chinese government officials have repeatedly stated that they are not planning to pull the plug and have hinted that it’s going to be extended indefinitely.
Contrary to the fantasies of liberals and about teachers getting arrested for opposing the sissypee, the Chinese government has actually been extremely half-hearted in terms of rooting out the rot from the education system. In fact last time they tried to flex their weight when a HK professor tried to do Japan war crimes apologia they ended up backing down. And up until very recently the vast majority of textbooks were produced by a teachers’ organization that explicitly supported the CIA-backed riots in 2019 and had a stated goal of fostering an independent Hong Kong identity in students. Which is how you get textbooks titled “Hong Kong in the Pre-Qin Period” trying to do revisionist history pretending that Hong Kong identity wasn’t invented by the British after they stole the land less than 200 years ago. (Hong Kong in the Pre-Qin Period was a desolate wasteland with population zero).
The problem is Hong Kongers don’t see themselves as Chinese, despite most of them being descended from mainland immigrants who moved there less than 100 years ago. It’s also a perfect example of what happens when you let FreedomTM and DemocracyTM reign and allow the kids to have their brains destroyed by western intelligence-controlled social media. So now you have dipshit 20 year olds running around with British colonial flags demanding a return to colonial “democracy” where only white British men could hold executive office and where protestors were murdered with impunity.
The white worship has gotten so bad that there are numerous cases of materially well-off individuals abandoning everything they had in Hong Kong to move to the UK to work hard labor jobs for starvation wages while British politicians debate whether to put them in concentration camps or just deport them.
The Chinese government doesn’t want a repeat of 2019 and they are actually going in the direction of creating more Hong Kong-like places, such as when they launched the Hainan Free Trade Zone. Government officials aren’t the rabid Chinese nationalist caricatures in liberals’ imaginations itching to take back Taiwan and fully integrate Hong Kong and Macau. In fact a lot of them still hold onto naive fantasies of holding hands and singing kumbaya in the Rules Based International OrderTM and you see this in action when they put out rhetoric about how China is the true guardian of free trade or whatever.
TLDR: Even though Hong Kong is officially part of China again, the government can’t really be assed to do the work of cultural decolonization, which no amount of putting flags in schools is going to accomplish.

Copdani is yesterday’s news, when you mention him to a western “leftist” now they will just tell you to shut up and “why do you still care???” Now we have Copdani 2: Dubai Landlord Edition, with extra liberal zionism added in!

Too many POC talk about America as a melting pot and the need to make it reflect diversity. What America needs is to be destroyed, plain and simple. They could talk about the contributions of POC to making America what it is today, but what they are missing is that all of those contributions have gone towards the maintenance of empire.

The global south is unfortunately very, very naive about this kind of stuff. People said similar things when Obama got elected and even then I knew it was bullshit but so many believed it.
Most people don’t even keep track of politics in their own nation very well, let alone foreign ones with different systems and cultures. Add to that American politics are the most bullshit and fake in the world, with huge amounts of capital poured into theatrics and propaganda, outsiders often will get fooled by the spectacle because they are not familiar with how bullshit and fake it is
It’s hilarious seeing Russian commentators keep getting Charlie Brown football yoinked by GOP “anti-establishment” politicians. So many of them thought Trump would end the Ukraine war lmao, and they are all already getting excited for a potential Tucker Carlson 2028 presidency as if that would change anything at all
However racist you think America and the rest of the Imperial Core can be, you’re still off by several orders of magnitude. Crackers are cruel and hostile towards their own family members, nevermind people they view as “other.”
Something I’ve been thinking about is American media compared to media from other countries. In foreign media, characters who experience conflict with each other often forgive and build trust. For example, in Tokyo Vice, a yakuza tries to have another killed. When brought before the other yakuza he tried to murder for retribution, the other character said “No more killing,” sparing his life. He then became a loyal friend to the man he once tried to murder. The show is partially based on a true story, though I am unsure if this was an actual thing that happened. My point is, even among human traffickers and contract killers, the capacity for empathy is still there, and I think it’s representative of the society the story takes place in.
Such a thing would never happen in the US. Both characters would immediately be plotting on how to kill one another. Cynicism runs rampant as it’s perpetuated by white supremacy. Because the settler-colonialist inflicts pain and suffering on everything around them, they can’t comprehend non-transactional relationships. I think people in the Global South project their humanity onto the Imperial Core, which naively leads them to conclude crackers mean what they say and aren’t conniving ways to further loot the rest of the world.
Saw this white dude comment on a Black man’s post where he’s venting about white people: “Blame it all on capitalism”
I told him to STFU, and he responded, “I think you might be a little confused. Capitalism is the reason why race exists as a social construct, so don’t claim to be an anti-capitalist if you can’t represent it.”
This fucking clown-ass h0nky seems to think this is esoteric knowledge and that the only reason why people are pushing back against his “well ackchyually, the problem is capitalism” class reductionist BS is simply because they’re not educated on race and capitalism. No, you bozo, of course I know how capitalism and racism are connected. This is fundamental knowledge, but I don’t need you deflecting, you fucking clown-ass cracker. GTFO.
I fundamentally agree but I cannot have a white person be like “I’m racist because of capitalism.” I didn’t pick racism and I live under capitalism.

Love how I can literally be banned from a comm for ‘antisemitism’ because I made some mildly facetious comment about Israel having the US or other nations by the balls but I invite a torrent of abuse for pointing out racial resentment against black and Indian people, sometimes getting modfucked for spurious infractions.
This thread should genuinely not exist and only exists to whitewash any instance of racism on this site. It’s legitimately worse than reddit in this regard, especially with all these ex-4chan weirdos lurking about
I saw that thread and reported that person for zionism but it’s a dice roll with how some of the mods are also zionists.
Still remembering that time I caught a temp ban my first month here because I pointed out the support Isreal has from religious organizations. People were pearl clutching over scientology and were more concerned about that than a sexual assault case. Not that scientology is good, mind you, just that I think it’s weird how it’s a deal breaker for some people but Catholicism, zionism, and Evangelicalism aren’t.
Who would’ve thought some white chick worth 500M dollars from the South born during segregation would have skeletons in her closet?
https://slate.com/culture/2017/08/visiting-dolly-partons-dinner-show-dixie-stampede.htmlAdvertised as an “extraordinary dinner show … pitting North against South in a friendly and fun rivalry,” Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede is the Lost Cause of the Confederacy meets Cirque du Soleil. It’s a lily-white kitsch extravaganza that play-acts the Civil War but never once mentions slavery.
There were smatterings of black people, though I didn’t spot any who appeared to be there by themselves. Some were one half of an interracial couple, while others appeared to be there with their white co-workers or friends. Such is the appeal of Dolly, it would seem, that it crosses all racial borders.
When the trio performed an up-tempo version of “Amazing Grace,” the audience decided to clap along. They were very off-beat.
Before we could get to the games, though, we had to get through a little “history” lesson about the early days of America, beginning with live buffalo and “Native Americans.” Were the dancers and acrobats actually of Native American descent? It was hard to tell, as their performance took place entirely under black light to the tune of Parton’s 2009 song “Sha-Kon-O-Hey!” (The title of the song is intended to be a phonetic spelling of the Cherokee word for the Smoky Mountains.) As one of them flew through the air on cables, a pre-recorded voice-over described the indigenous peoples as “steeped in legend … mystery … and magic!”
At the dance’s conclusion came a swift scene change: “The magic gave way to a harsh reality when settlers came in from the east.” In one of the more true-to-history moments in the show, these native peoples weren’t seen again for the rest of the performance.
Even with that gracious assistance, however, the South won at both my performances. (According to reports from other attendees, the South doesn’t always win, but it usually does.) All the while, Roger Ballard would alternate between extolling the virtues of both sides and encouraging them to stand up and boo one another. (At both shows I attended, the South was noticeably more boisterous in its heckling.)
So while it may be a surprise to the fictional producers of Springtime for Hitler when it becomes a hit, it’s no surprise to me that Dolly Parton’s very real Dixie Stampede is a hit, too, and has been for almost 30 years. This is the same country where The Birth of a Nation was once the biggest box-office hit of all time and where Gone With the Wind still is. Dolly Parton is right about one thing: Dixie Stampede is as American as America gets.
The bathroom stalls are also segregated between northerners and southerners and the northerner sign is black lmao
Goes to show that white leftists will excuse any and all evil so long as none of that evil is pointed at them. If someone like JK Rowling had only targeted POC, no one but POC would care. Hell, Neil Druckmann is a good example of this
:jesus-christ: ok I’m feeling better about my long comment about Dolly Parton now what the fuck
Glad to finally see some people pushing back against the excessive Dolly Parton glazing
I don’t really get it. Like I had heard of her when living in the US but never anything much besides making music people liked. I only remember this one annoying NATO-leftist Anarchist who was obsessed with her and they kept telling me “9-5” was a Marxist song like some irl breadtuber.
Stay woke
Thinking back to the time where I worked the phones for the city and would get complaint calls every single day from cracker residents, saying verbatim “there is a black man on the street,” and when asked what the problem was, they would say “he’s acting suspicious and dancing” or some shit
Crackers are Hitlerite hall monitors foaming at the mouth all hours of the day just chomping at the bit to lynch a POC
