-Just as anti-black political violence reproduces that violence from the outside the position of the The Black Matrix – Matrix, from the Latin "breeding female animal" and "mater" or mother, signifies origins. The black matrix outlines the limits of the democracy that created it, and the beauty of resistance to denigration.– is the position which structures the internal reproduction of the slave formation. The Black Matrix – or Black woman – is located at a structural position of Rape, this conception does not formulate rape as an incident which happens, or one is more-or-less vulnerable to, but rather as the very condition for being of the Black woman and by extension both Slaves and the World which those Slaves build. Wilderson says "no Slave no World" , we say "no Black woman- no Slave AND no World". In the midst of the Master's gaze it is the Black woman's body which is able to produce the difference between the Black man and the white woman, and in that moment gender and sex norms become non-consensually 'birthed'. Any discussion of political violence that does not attune itself to racial rape reifies and rearticulates Anti-blackness through gender. Their focus on the spectacular violence of the state not only reify the libidinal bonds we have to surveilling black paing but is also inherently gendered and masculinized. |
