The most ridiculous question a black person can ask a cop is, ‘why did you shoot me?’ How does one account for the gratuitous? The cop is at a disadvantage: ‘I shot you because you are black; you are black because I shot you.’ Here is the tautology at the heart of the colonial experience.
Gramsci's Black Marx: Whither the Slave in Civil Society? Reviews

Lots of thoughts but mostly thinking about Wilderson's cow metaphor for Black people in relation to Toni Morrison's cows in Beloved.

More to read for sure.
