watching people who say shit like like “decolonize your beauty!” uncritically parrot white supremacist and imperialist narratives about race and slavery....you gotta decolonize the bad things too!
#this is not a hot take#white supremacy and imperialist history frames race and chattel slavery as universal and normal#and natural#by characterizing non-roman forms of slavery as though they were identical to chattel slavery#and of course by pretending as though european constructions of race were widely accepted everywhere even prior to colonialism#and this is directly connected to the framing of slavery as well#the idea that all slavery fits the pattersonian definition#and all slavery was racialized#and racialized in the same way chattel slavery was racialized#i.e. that all cultures or several cultures enslaved black people (so africans) exclusively#their favorite to do this with is the indian ocean slave trade#or as white historians call it: the ‘islamic slave trade’#(despite the fact that slavery in the middle east predates islam)#the indian ocean slave trade does take shape after the rise of islam and the establishment of muslim empire but largely due to imperial#expansion#and slaves are taken from the periphery of the empire#so east and north africa eastern europe and central asia#(central asian slaves would then go on and establish from of the early sultanates in south asia and these were called the slave dynasties#the first was qutb al din aibak#but anyway#yes by the 18th and 19th century slaves in the middle east were mostly black#(i wonder what might have spurred this!)#but before they were explicitly brought in from the outer realm of the empire#and early texts do not feature a focus on constructing a racialized class of slaves#(later texts do feature racial hositility after the slave trade zeroes in on africans)#and what purpose does this serve?#well first it establishes the idea of africans as an ideal slave population as widely accepted#which makes it seem as though there is something innate and natural about us that predisposes us for servitude and subjugation#that everyone can recognize#second it makes the villains of slavery into europe’s number 1 enemy: the middle east and islam

I thought you might like these moss-filled pawprints in concrete which I saw earlier. :-)
Tumblr media
ID: a row of medium sized pawprints, most likely a dog's, dried into the concrete of a pavement kerb. Time and rain has filled the pawprints in with green moss or lichen. The pavement is glowing in the sunlight and you can see the sitting shadow of a dog beside me.
Tumblr media
ID: A closeup on one of the moss/lichen pawprints, almost perfectly filled in.
