Fanon ties language and being together with such intimacy that the colonial command and control of language - its capacity to sustain culture, world, and civilization - is the cornerstone of antiblackness. Proper diction is no liberation, because racism works through our embodied presence to one another; race is epidermal, not biological or predetermined. But the epidermal builds a decisive, alienating exception into speaking: one is always black or white, no matter one's relation to diction, and that disjunct means everything in sustaining an antiblack world.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/lw6o0WdZmlj6gtn6vop2ADRfgH-rBiKo1HN-19V_DjA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM4Mzg2LzE2NzUy/ODQwODMtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
