Old blog brother Roko just sent me this:
Black Power Naps is an artistic initiative with components including physical installations, zines, an opera, and more. But it’s also a recognition of the hundreds of years of sleep deprivation that Black people and people of color have experienced as a result of systemic racism, a way to pushback against the false stereotype that Black people are lazy, and an investigation of the inequitable distribution of rest. That lack of sleep has serious consequences.
I am not going to lower myself to give them a link back to that load of crap. Basically what they are saying is that slaves were sleep deprived and that somehow that sleep deprivation has carried through the generations ( in the DNA?) and now they are suffering for the lack of sleep. And they demand reparation in the form of extra free time, I am guess paid free time.
Seriously, I have to give them props for coming up with such an imaginative load of mental manure.
Lysenko nods.
