i do generally agree that people talking about maus being “triggering” are being particularly dense about it (it is a frank depiction of the Shoah. of course it is a raw, painful thing to read, and watering it down to being simply “triggering” feels deeply patronizing at best.)

buuut im also a bit concerned about the mindset that if a piece of media is about horrific tragedy, then there is no need to warn anyone for its contents, even if some of it is genuinely unexpected;

what im thinking about in this specific case is- theres one scene in maus thats only a handful of pages long, where spiegelman’s father is grotesquely racist to a Black hitchhiker, and i have not seen a single person mention it anywhere on here (im not saying no one HAS- simply that i havent seen it). i dont think that it has no place in the book- it is a real incident that does a lot to emphasize spiegelman’s understanding of his father as a deeply complicated, hypocritical, flawed man who nonetheless survived one of the most miserable and horrific tragedies of human history and came out of it traumatized beyond belief, and if he had intentionally omitted moments like this he may have painted an altogether false, idealized image of who his father was; and it also does a lot work to show that antiblackness lives and festers everywhere, even in white jewish people who just barely survived mass genocide. and erasing that- painting white jewish people as above criticism, incapable of doing any wrong- would do far more harm than good.

but i feel like its not wrong for someone (namely Black gentiles and Black jewish people) to be completely caught off guard by that and to have deserved a warning for it ahead of time. and it shouldnt be something brushed off as expected, any negative feelings over being blindsided by pages of racial epithets painted as someone being ridiculous and thin-skinned. granted, you could argue that it should be expected because maus is in part about nazis and nazism- but then, one would expect antiblackness from the mouths of nazis, if at all. it coming from spiegelman’s father is understandably jarring, and acknowledged as unexpected in the pages themselves.

idk. i think its fair to assume that just because someone is prepared for a lot, doesnt mean they’ll always be prepared for anything and everything, esp if its something that personally effects them; and i dont necessarily like the implications in this argument about maus, or the possibility that this argument will continue on for other pieces of media

this is all just My Opinion though. maybe im overthinking it way too much. dont rebl.g this by the way, if the readmore didnt clue you in on that.

anyway if youre curious as to what i think about maus personally. it is painfully, disturbingly familiar at times, to what little i know about my (german, assimilated) grandparents on my mother’s side, and on some level makes me wish i could ask my still-living grandmother some of the questions ive had for years. and on another level makes me even more certain that i never can and never will. and thats all youre getting.

#txt #this is about maus.#this whole train of thought has been festering in the back of my mind for a couple weeks now i might as well put it to text

Hey percy, since your a criminal psychologist, awnser me this Is it legal to break the laws of pysichs Like, I know you shouldnt be able to do that, but, could you be arrested for it?

Um... I think so? No, wait. Hold on. Err...

With magic, of course, it’s possible to break many of what we call the “default” laws of physics, such as gravity and inertia, but these result due to addendums to the laws, more casually referred to as “magical physics” or “higher physics” that replace the defaults— like card games where the House rules overtake the existing ones.

Therefore, you could argue that inscribed “break the laws” of physics anytime they use their epithets to create magical addendums, but this isn’t considered a crime if used in an otherwise legal manner.

Of course, if they ARE used for committing a crime— that is, breaking any other laws— they’re considered under the same jurisdiction as mundie weapons, meaning that restriction and confiscation (by the use of Eraser Cuffs) are perfectly allowed.

...What was the question, again?

Why Kwanzaa?

1. Because I want a cultural outlet that has the potential to unite all Black people regardless of where they come from. We can all honor our individual and collective history, ancestry, oppressions, cultures, families, and communities during Kwanzaa whether we are Diasporic Africans or Continental Africans.

2. Because every other Black holiday in the US is either too specific (MLK Jr. Day, Juneteenth) or more focused on education than a good time (Black History Month). Nothing wrong with education, but we need both informative holidays and fun ones.

3. Because it's ours and just ours. No one else can come into Kwanzaa and control it. They can barely profit off it. And I know that's part of why other people hate it, because they can't come in and change it's politics, insert their gods into this secular space, copy and paste their cultures and icons, then wrap the whole thing up in a box and sell it back to us for $19.95. And I think that's wonderful.

4. Because no other holiday encourages Black people to learn about Africa's past and present, and fight for its future. We need holidays that remind us that we were living in a rich, diverse continent before we were enslaved and it was colonised. Kwanzaa is the first, and we can and should create more.

5. Because it's cold outside, I want to have fun with my family and eat some good food. But I am neither a believer in the divinity of Christ nor in the inherent consumerism and subtle colonialism of presenting Christmas as a "secular" holiday.

6. Because Kwanzaa specifically reminds us that there is and always will be work to perform for the maintenance of our communities and cultures if we want to not only survive, but thrive.

7. Because we can use Kwanzaa to facilitate a cultural return to Africa. Already we don ankara and learn Swahili for the holiday. But we can make it bigger and do more. We can learn other languages and don other fashions. We can learn other traditions in the continent and diaspora of ancestral reverence. We can try our hands at preparing and eating new foods. We can learn about the different festivals of the continent and diaspora centered around similar themes of history, ancestral reverence, the beginning of a new year, and the honoring of children.

8. Because anything that we decide we don't like about Kwanzaa, we can change. It's OURS, no one elses. We can make it whatever we need it to be.

9. Because let's face it, the backlash isnt really about Karenga or the misinformation surrounding the holiday. If it had been started by Rosa Parks and well publicized so no one thinks obvious facts we always knew were "gotchas" against the validity of the festival, then it would still be hated and despised for daring to be different, apolitical, closed off, and secular.

10. Because we can celebrate it regardless of our religions, while not being prevented from including our faiths. Kwanzaa is secular, but you can include Kwanzaa in how you explore your faith. Do Kwanzaa at your church, mosque, synnagoge, or temple and it's a religious act that only some people can attend. Do it at the MLK Jr. Memorial Community Center and it's something the whole community can attend.

11. Because you can still do 7 days of presents if you really want, and still practice anti-consumerism. The three default kwanzaa presents are books, food, and clothes. You can do 7 days of books and food and clothes if you want. And if your presents can't fit that mold, that's still okay becauae you're encouraged to support Black owned businesses during kwanzaa (and no, Beats by Dre doesn't count). You can also do kwanzaa with no gifts whatsoever. But Kwanzaa should not have you standing in the cold parking lot of the mall at 5am on Black Friday every year.

13. Because it's already tradition, and that tradition is catching on. From school activities to community celebrations, to Kwanzaa Crawl, a lot of Black people have put in effort to keep Kwanzaa in our lives and continue to do so today. It's not a 400 year old tradition, but we have the power to make it so one year at a time. No, it's not the entire Black population, but it doesnt have to be just yet. Everything has to start somewhere, and kwanzaa can start with us.

14. Because kwanzaa is not a racial epithet or stereotype. I get why some people are suspicious when non-black people just assume we celebrate kwanzaa. But the answer isnt to throw the baby out with the bathwater. We don't have to shun and degrade this holiday and everyone that celebrates it. If we did that with everything, then our people wouldn't have anything left. We've already allowed anti-blackness to nearly wipe out our religions, languages, and hairstyles. Imagine if we let it wipe out our music, our cooking, and our sense of fashion? We cannot be so concerned with how others see us that we're willing to discard our identities or marginalize those among us that refuse to assimilate.

15. Because Black people living right now have a lot of despair. If we don't get killed by the state for saying the state shouldn't kill us with impunity, if we aren't unable to vote for the right for the convicted to vote because we are ourselves current and ex-convicted, if we aren't in college because our parents and their parents and their parents could never go, then we're still living in poverty, being manipulated by loan companies that want to force us into situations where we have to torture our bodies for our daily bread. Whether that's in the office, the stores, or the athletic field, they want us out here killing ourselves to earn our right to live. And that's just America. Go anywhere else and you may see people eating mud because there's no food left, living under oppressive regimes more open than the US in their tyranny over their citizens, seeing children struggling to provide for their houses when they should be in school, all the while truly believing that the US is better. Kwanzaa doesn't hide from the uglier sides of our condition, it makes us remember that they exist while invigorating us with a new energy to fight for our people every year.

16. Because Black people living right now have a lot of hope. Remember the global impact Black Panther had on our people. Look at how many Black people in the US are reclaiming our ancestral religions and spiritualities. Think of the new fashion, art, musical and cultural movements we have going right now. Remember the political movements in all of our countries that are recognizing the interconnectedness of our struggles. The hope we're living on right now is exactly the type of hope that kwanzaa is based on fighting for. That's why hope is the final principal of Kwanzaa, called Imani. We celebrate kwanzaa because for a lot of us, that's the only time of the year that we have to truly reflect and see all this hope for all the value it holds.

17. Because kwanzaa reminds us that who we naturally are is enough. Our mothers shouldnt be straightening our hair for a kwanzaa celebration. We shouldnt be demanding that our people talk like white people at a kwanzaa celebration. We don't have to worry about being the first person to grab the watermelon or fried chicken at a kwanzaa celebration. Kwanzaa allows us to be Black, tooth gaps and all. And most importantly, it reminds us that those of our community that would insult and degrade us for being ourselves are fundamentally wrong.

Kwanzaa is not useless. It is not a farce. It is a cultural outlet of the Black community to recognize the inherent validity in our lives. Kwanzaa is the time that we appreciate who we ALL are and how we got here. If we didnt have Kwanzaa, I would sincerely hope that we would create another holiday just like it to remind us that we are more than just victims of slavery, colonialism, and white supremacy without erasing the memories of those that suffered at the hands of those attrocities. Because as long as Black people are living outside of our homelands, and our continent is being destroyed by colonizers and their coups, then Black people are going to need Kwanzaa or something just like it. And ideally, we will always have Kwanzaa AND something just like it.
