Painting the Rainbow Green: The White Cisgaytriarchy’s Oeuvre of the Almighty Dollar
Alt episode titles: Somewhere Over the Chase Bank, There is Community and Solidarity
They Just Want Our Money, Not Our Pride: The Rainbow Capitalism Episode
Intro Audio Excerpt: Sylvia Rivera (Rest in Power) interview from NYC Pride 2001
https://x.com/ben_0207/status/1800675695661842651
Who does rainbow capitalism benefit most? Who does it protect?
What it is and what it is not
Who gets seen in rainbow capitalism and who gets left out?
What do we do without white cis het corporate crumbs? Will we be forced to rely and lean on each other, community, village and return pride to its roots as a riot, a protest?
Rainbow capitalism is racism, facism, the anti-thesis to queer. It's not the queer celebrities making millions from marketing to and profiting from Black and Brown queer and trans folks on the margins that are going to save us, just US.
If we are fighting for us to take back our resistance and liberation from the very apolitical, corporate, white pride structure. And we're fighting to liberate ourselves and to liberate one another, and we're doing so with a strong framework of solidarity, the question is not necessarily what's our responsibility, what's our response to anti-blackness, transphobia, cisheteronormativity, imperialist capitalism that attempts, with gusto, to pervade our movement and end our lives?

Until Black Trans Women are Free, Ya'll Will Have Macklemore Ol' Bleach Blonde Ass ft Elle Moxley
No Pride without Black Trans Liberation and Reparations--Not Rations, Pooh.
Black trans liberation, much like Black liberation and the liberation of all oppressed peoples across the globe, requires a complete redistribution and reorganization of the current power structure/status quo--is GLAAD ready? Is GLSEN ready? Are you ready?
Alt episode titles:
How do we respond to white violence? (aka what's the proper procedure?)
Coddling of the dominant narratives and who gets permission to be tardy to the party?
The faux care economy and celebrity machine--who actually cares and do we, as marginalized peoples, need them to?
Hoodrat to Headwrap to Lacefront ft Elle Moxley
What resistance will require of us? What does solidarity demand of us?

Don't fall for the okey doke: Anti-Blackness is Divisive and Perpetuates Settler Colonial Violence
For Hind, For Dexter, For Wadea, For Jordan and all others whose names go underreported, whose lives are undervauled, whose resistance is met with no fanfare.
Support Within Our Lifetime, Palestinian led NYC based community organization: https://wolpalestine.com
The genocidal settler colonial regime of Israel will be brought to heel, the genocidal settler colonial United States government will be brought to heel.
We must do this together and resist the allure of anti-Black divisive voices and agents of the state, would be movement detractors seeking to undermine and silence hundreds of years of Black and Palestinian coalition building and solidarity. We will win.

Who Tf Was I Friends With? Community and Friendships in the Age of Aquarius feat Elle Moxley
Parts 1 and 2
If the shoe fit, go grab some socks
"without community, there is no liberation, only the most vulnerable and temporary armistice between an individual and [their] oppression."--Audre Lorde
Join us for a special episode of Black People Tell Black History (yes, it's giving very much Anita Baker 365 days of the year same ol love) with our love Elle Moxley talking about community, how some of ya;ll wouldnt know what it is if it fell and hit you in the head and how market forces, capitalism and white supremacy are driving us away from each other, the theft of our culture is driving us away from each other in an attempt to lessen our pride in our shared identity and even that's not enough to assure solidarity, gentrification is physically doing the job of isolating Black folks from one another. So what do we do?
When it comes to liberation, everybody won't come (and don't want to)
Everybody is not your friend and how we (mostly Ebony) are resisting all of that and subsequently learning the hard way.
Thank you, ReesaTeesa. -
