So often, we ask the question as to whether or not anime characters are white, but this is probably not the best question to ask when determining what Black people are reacting to in anime and manga. More than what the characters are is the question of what the characters are not.
Join us in a conversation about mukokuseki in Japanese art and what that means about the perceptions of Black people and Black responses.

Mukokuseki: Anti-Blackness in Anime and Manga

I know that it sounds counter intuitive, but what if hope is one of the things that keeps us bound and suffering? What if hope is nothing but an aspiration for something or things that can never happen BECAUSE they would mean the unraveling of the social order? What does giving up hope mean? Does it entail despair? If we give up hoping for change, and thusly trying to educate, love, and "free hugs"ing our way out of anti-Blackness...what becomes possible? These are just a few of the questions I'm interested in discussing in this video.

Alice in Borderland - A Case for Hopelessness

What is black information.. or if we already have black information, how do we turn it into data? For artificial intelligence with no allegiances or alliances without the ability to be coerced into a decision, for a program with no impetus or motivation to make a certain decision.. what does it mean that they still replicate the kinds of violence that black people have experienced from regular, everyday humans? Maybe something is wrong with information and knowledge itself. Maybe how we view logic and reason is the problem.
Perhaps learning, reason, logic, as they are founded and formulated in this particular world.. are anti-black.

Black Information: Algorithmic Injustice & Racist A.I.

Although we often hear that mumble rappers are degrading the arena of hip hop, what if it is just another way that we express possible ways to that we have decided to show up in the world? If our musical traditions and cultural manifestations boggle gender norms and make us harder to read to those outside of us; perhaps, it is another radical set of expressions. It gives us ways to not be seen, not be put in boxes easily, and to not give a damn.

If Black people embody the anxieties and fears of the world... what would it look like for us to lean into that since the world hasn't shown itself to be worthy of redemption? Visit us at: www.vudoomunkyfut.com

Zombies: What Do They Have To Do With Black People?

Are there Black superheroes...are just superheroes who happen to be Black. We've been very interested in both the limits shown in comic book universe creation and in the possibilities of our questions? If there were a Black superhero, one dedicated to JUST taking up the causes of the global Black populace, what would they have to do to adequately take on that banner? What would that look like?

Is there such thing as a Black superhero...or superheroes who just happen to be Black?
