⁣This presentation sets out to introduce the concept of bedroom colonialism and the related concept of mulattofication as intergenerational scourges of classical and contemporary Kmtyw ‘Black People’. By means of multimodal, multidisciplinary analysis and participant observation of victims of bedroom colonialism (BC) via fieldwork in their natural environment, we demonstrate multiple examples of these concepts in their socio-cultural milieu. We find that, as intended by anti-Black perpetrators of BC (eurasians), bedroom colonialism has and continues to pose a significant impediment to the acquisition, maintenance, and expansion of Abibitumi ‘Black Power’ and Abibifahodie ‘Black Liberation’. In conclusion, once the root causes of bedroom colonialism are understood, conceptual clarity may be attained and correct courses of action may be pursued.
“Bedroom colonialism” is a term used to describe a form of intimate or interpersonal colonialism that manifests within romantic and sexual relationships, often highlighting the dynamics of power, race, and exploitation. It involves the perpetuation of colonial attitudes and behaviors in private, intimate spaces, where one partner, often from a dominant or colonizing culture, exerts control or dominance over the other, typically from a marginalized or colonized background.
This concept can be understood through various lenses, such as:
1. Racial Fetishization and Exoticism: It involves viewing a partner primarily through a racialized or exoticized lens, reducing them to stereotypes or fantasies rooted in colonial histories. This reduces the partner to an object of desire based on their race, rather than valuing them as a whole person.
2. Power Dynamics: In these relationships, power imbalances reflect broader societal hierarchies, where the dominant partner may exert control, whether overtly or subtly, over the marginalized partner. This can manifest in emotional manipulation, coercion, or even subtle forms of dominance that replicate colonial power structures.
3. Cultural Appropriation and Erasure: The dominant partner might appropriate or disrespect the cultural practices and identities of the marginalized partner, further entrenching a sense of dominance and superiority. This can lead to the erasure of the marginalized partner’s cultural identity within the relationship.
4. Historical Context: This concept is rooted in historical practices where colonizers exploited and dehumanized colonized people, including sexual violence and forced relationships. These historical traumas often reverberate in contemporary relationships, reflecting unresolved issues of power, control, and racial dynamics.
In examining “bedroom colonialism,” it is crucial to consider the work of scholars and thinkers who delve into the intersections of race, sexuality, and power, such as bell hooks, Audre Lorde, and Frantz Fanon. These perspectives help shed light on how intimate relationships can perpetuate systemic inequalities and the importance of addressing these dynamics to foster more equitable and respectful partnerships.

Blacknificent Support needed for Mama Mawiyah and Baba Kamau Kambon

Need some help fam. Many of you know our family had Blacknificent books and the Bennu Cultural Center since 1994. Mama Mawiyah and Baba Kamau built the center by hand and put it in the heart of the Black community so folks could have access to thought leaders like dr. Khalid Muhammad, dr. Ben, Queen Afua, Kwame, Toure, Philadelphia's MOVE Ramona and Pam Africa, Professor Small, Professor Griff and dozens of other economic cultural, spiritual, educational and revolutionary thought leaders in the Black community.
They are called Mama Mawiyah & Baba Kamau because they've been like parents to hundreds of individuals all over the country and in Raleigh to fight police corruption, gentrification, education discrimination, job discrimination, health issues, mental health issues family interpersonal issues. They've spent every day of their lives for last 50 years helping community.

WHAT HAPPENED
Blacknificent/Bennu flooded on Monday/Tuesday. Mama Mawiyah and Baba Kamau spent 3 days extracting gallons and gallons of water from the carpet and building. Last Monday North Carolina experienced extreme rain. Neuse River rose over 10-feet in some areas. It caused areas that don't normally flood to flood anyway. This caused the building to flood. Help is needed to repair the foundation where the water came through and ensure the building doesn’t get mold etc. This repair needs to happen quickly before it rains again and more damage is done.
After spending 3 days cleaning up gallons and gallons of water with hand held extractors. Thursday evening on their way home at 11PM their car locked up on the highway. The engine blew a piston dismounting the engine and broke the A/C mount bracket. They car is irreparable and it’s their only car. They need help getting a new vehicle.
Then to top it all off the Kambon websites were hacked on Friday. Thousands of spammy fraudulent emails were sent out. The sites need to be redone so that people can find Mama Mawiyah and Baba Kamau so they can keep doing the community work they’ve been doing.
So when it rains it really pours, literally since it rained again last night and we're not sure what we're going to see when we get to the cultural center again.
They have done so much to help people that I am asking people to give something back not just in words and thank yous but in contributions to help them save the Blacknificent books and Bennu cultural center building located in gentrifying Southeast Raleigh. Help with some of all of these impending cost that fell on them and less seven days. Though they are always on the move these elders are in their 70s and should not have to face this on their own. If you know and love them or if you appreciate these elders for being unwavering in their support of our community, please contribute anything from $5 to $100 or $500 or more to help http://kamaukambon.org/index.php/cont... or paypal orders@kamaukambon.org
