Waxed poetic about that Lanterns show and how its lowest-rated episode had the most to say about a bullshit aspirational platitude.
Black excellence is a term coined, lamentably, during the Barack Obama presidency. It’s meant to celebrate the Herculean efforts Black people make to succeed despite systemic and social barriers like racism, bigotry, and all manner of invisible tripwires that make success harder. Become a billionaire like Beyoncé and Jay-Z? Black excellence. Become president? Black excellence. Become a Lantern? Honey, you just might be a Black Hal Jordan in the making. But every time I hear the phrase, my teeth itch. To me, “Black excellence” lives in the same area code as white people calling a Black man “King” as a compliment—well-intentioned, maybe, but pandering as hell. 

My issue isn’t the term itself but the mindset behind it. The idea that Black people must be excellent to be worthy of celebration, status, or privilege. That mediocrity is unacceptable. That you must be exceptional on whatever sliding scale the moment demands, doing twice the work for half the validation. Black excellence is almost never self‑defined—it’s projected onto you, shaped by other people’s expectations rather than your own. It's a prison where your only solace is toxic gratitude for platitudes over self-affirmation. Having John reject that fool’s errand plight as the main hero of a primetime DC Studios series means more to me than any roadmap superhero timeline.

it really needs to be more openly discussed that all the people advocating for “we should be fine with losing basic skills if we get more systems thinking” are men, meaning socialized to expect to be able to offload basic tasks of daily living onto a wife as part of their compensation for existing

they’re fine with being deskilled by machine learning because it hasn’t hurt them to willfully deskill (or never-skill-in-the-first-place) themselves with regard to all the tasks they consider the domain of either wives or hired help, they assume others will always be available to serve them

the cult of the superior machines is inherently a patriarchal cult (like nearly all cults in recorded history) its theology classifies “AI” systems as either wives (systems that exist to serve and empower Great Men) or Gods (theoretical future systems, male-coded, that become the Great Men)

why does g*d in this poem remind me strong of what powerful people love to do to us serfs? “Yet let him keep the rest, But keep them with repining restlessness; Let him be rich and weary, that at least, If goodness lead him not, yet weariness May toss him to my breast.” pca.st/episode/f871...

a double tax that really stinks is suppressing different-not-deficient traits to be more palatable (tax #1) & that denial of self makes self-destructive behavior more likely (tax #2) eventually I figured, if I’m doing right by others, no need to “get me”; and f* being palpable, I want to survthrive
