Community Movement Builders, Oakland presents: Black Radical Disability Politics with Black Disabled Men Talk 📍 Ep 17: On How the Black Community Can Decolonize From Black Ableism Calls to Action • Challenge Ableism: The Black disabled community is integral to the Black community. • Challenge Internalized Ableism: When well-known Black activists become disabled, they disappear or become quiet. • Decolonize Ableism in the Black Community: Read Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth, which was written when he was disabled. “We need a different system where we can all flourish and be fully human.” https://blackdisabledmentalk.com/2026/07/25/black-disabled-men-talk-episode-17-on-how-the-black-community-can-decolonize-from-black-ableism/#respond @teefstyle @blackkrip @huedotart @krip.hop @kriphopnation Photo credit: @moor2film #BlackRadicalDisabilityPolitics #BlackDisabledMenTalk #DecolonizeAbleism Alt text: Promo: "Black Radical Disability Politics" featuring Black Disabled Men Talk.

The political tennis match between Democrats and Republicans over Special education thus IDEA. Since its passing in the early 1970’s IDEA has never been fully funded and that means it has never been fully implemented! Now the destroyer chief is doing what he does best and that is destroy this time around Special Education. The two party system sucks! by @blackkrip

On April 7th/2025 on Instagram I asked this question Are there Pan African Disability Organizations in the United States? I know of Pan African Disability Organizations in African countries R.I.P. Joshua Malinga who helped start Pan African Federation of the Disabled in Zimbabwe, Africa! Today May 31st/2025 just got back from Dakar, Senegal and Cape Town, South Africa and I can say although Disability Studies programs are popping up in the West and in Africa, outside of academia and off line there is still a lack of organizations connecting African Americans with disabilities to Africans with disabilities on the African continent. If I’m wrong, please let me know. Next year the plan is to go to Zimbabwe to visit and work with our new Krip-Hop chapter with Tinotenda Mudarikwa and I hope to meet Tsitsi Chataika, who is a professor in inclusive education and disability inclusion, she has been teaching at the University of Zimbabwe. But now, she is CBM Global Disability Inclusion as the Disability Inclusion Advisor and also I want to study the work of the late Joshua T. Malinga who was the Secretary General of I the Pan-Africa Federation of the Disabled (PAFOD) in Zimbabwe, Africa. I’ll be interviewing Tsitsi Chataika soon.

The Black Krip Gaze: Staring, Surveillance, and Resistance Rosemarie Garland-Thomson’s Staring: How We Look provides an important foundation for thinking about how looking at disabled bodies becomes a social and cultural practice. Through Krip-Hop Theory, however, the question of staring can be expanded beyond disability alone to examine the relationship between disability, Blackness, race, and power. A Krip-Hop reading asks not only, “Who is being stared at?” but also, “Who has the social power to look, who is allowed to look back, and what happens when a Black disabled person refuses, cannot, or is prohibited from returning the gaze?” This question becomes especially important when looking at the history of Jim Crow. Under Jim Crow racial relations, Black people were subjected to strict rules governing how they could move, speak, stand, and look in the presence of white people. For many Black people, direct eye contact with white people could be interpreted as disrespect, defiance, or a challenge to white authority. Thus, looking was never simply an individual act. The direction of a person’s eyes could become part of a larger racial power structure. The Black body was not simply seen; it was disciplined through the act of being seen. Krip-Hop Theory adds another layer to this history by asking what happened to Black disabled people whose bodies, movements, facial expressions, communication styles, or ways of looking did not conform to white expectations of bodily behavior. A Black disabled person might not make eye contact because of blindness, neurological difference, communication difference, trauma, cultural practice, or another disability-related experience. Yet under racialized systems of interpretation, a lack of eye contact could be read through stereotypes about Blackness rather than understood through disability or difference. Conversely, a Black disabled person who looked directly at a white person could be treated as violating the racial order. To be continue Leroy F.Moore 9/29/26 by @blackkrip

As a Black man with a disability at age 58, I need and deserve a lot more than representation. I can’t go back to 101 but the only reason why I would do that is going through decolonizing process with my Black community to get them to see disability not as a deficit but an identity that has historical and cultural roots with artistic and political elements from the birth of humans aka Moses to today’s Black disabled YouTuber and so much more that’s when you have what I’m calling Afro-Krip Consciousness. The question is how many are ready to go through what I’m calling the Stages of Black Krip Radicalization aka strip the colonizer’s thinking about disability to view Sins Invalid’s Disability Justice and Krip-Hop politics and artistic life. Stage one: See Ourselves Stage two: Kripping Black Spaces Stage three: Politicizing Black Disability Stage Four: Black Krip Radicalization Unfortunately, I know many don’t want to go through this process because of many reasons but one is colonization is very deep and have made people comfortable plus it goes against the grain and means real ongoing work not just a hashtag!

Excerpt from Black Disability Epistemology in Krip-Hop Theory ……Black Disability Epistemology therefore places the knowledge of Black disabled people at the center. It recognizes that the Black disabled body is not simply a body subjected to racism and ableism. It is also a site of knowledge production. Living at the intersections of Blackness and disability can reveal forms of power that are difficult to see from a single analytical position. A Black disabled person navigating policing, education, employment, transportation, healthcare, poverty, or cultural spaces may experience racism and ableism simultaneously. These experiences can produce intellectual knowledge about how systems of oppression operate together. This epistemological position is particularly important because Black disabled people have historically been marginalized within both Black liberation movements and mainstream Disability Studies. Black political traditions have often celebrated strength, resistance, independence, and physical ability while overlooking or stigmatizing disabled Black people. At the same time, dominant Disability Studies has frequently centered white experiences and histories of disability. Black Disability Epistemology challenges both exclusions. It asks what becomes possible when Black disabled people are no longer positioned at the margins but become central producers of theory. This is where Krip-Hop Theory’s development of a Black Krip Radical Tradition becomes important. The Black Radical Tradition provides a powerful history of Black resistance to racial capitalism, colonialism, and white supremacy, but Krip-Hop expands this tradition by asking where Black disabled people have been located within it. Black Disability Epistemology helps uncover the political knowledge created by Black disabled activists, artists, organizers, musicians, writers, and cultural workers. Their contributions should not be treated as footnotes to Black history. They are part of the intellectual history of Black resistance.….TBC Leroy F. Moore 9/28/26 by @blackkrip

From the Black Intellectual Tradition to the Black Krip-Hop Intellectual Tradition The second title emphasizes that Krip-Hop is not simply a form of Hip-Hop with disability added. Through Krip-Hop Theory, Black disabled artists, activists, and intellectuals become producers of knowledge within and beyond the Black Intellectual Tradition. Krip-Hop builds on Hip-Hop’s traditions of storytelling, cultural critique, improvisation, resistance, and collective knowledge-making while kripping these traditions through Black disability epistemology. This shifts the question from simply asking how Hip-Hop participates in Black intellectual history to asking how Black disabled people have used music, language, performance, art, activism, and lived experience to produce intellectual and political knowledge. In this sense, Krip-Hop helps expand the Black Intellectual Tradition into a Black Krip Radical Tradition, where disability is not an afterthought or an inclusion category but a site of theory, resistance, cultural production, and liberation.

It’s hard to see a lot of Black disabled public speakers and online creators put themselves and all Black disabled people in a deficit model without realizing what they are doing. A lot talk in an I story but can’t see Black disabled as a worldwide issue. It’s such a small and negative view about the history, culture, struggles and what we contribute to this world from our ancestors to recent graduates. We need to challenge the colonizer’s view on disabilities. Leroy F. Moore 9/28/26 by @blackkrip

Again. It is a tight race for President in Brazil. From Krip-Hop Brazil chapter, everybody is holding their breath because of the up coming presidential election. This statement is coming from our Krip-Hop chapter in Brazil We have the research telling that Lula has 46% And the Bolsonaro son is 44% Today’s news is saying we have a technical tie in the second round. And sometimes Flavio Bolsonaro is in first place! Some background: A rematch of sorts is on in Brazil’s 2026 presidential race. Incumbent leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003–2011, 2023–present) of the Workers’ Party (PT) is running for an unprecedented fourth term at the age of 80. His foe in the last election, ex-President Jair Bolsonaro (2019–2023), is ineligible to run after being indicted and imprisoned in September for plotting a coup. But the Bolsonaro name will still be on the ballot. The ex-president endorsed one of his sons, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, as candidate for Liberal Party (PL) to carry the family flag of his far-right movement. Trump liked J Bolsonaro that should tell you everything but if you don’t know Bolsonaro destroyed the rainforest and cut billions from services including people with disabilities and so much more.The campaign period ends October 3. As you know not only the newest Krip-Hop chapter is in Brazil but also not only their Black disabled movement but all disabled people is in danger if Flávio Bolsonaro wins Also Krip-Hop Nation wants to help build our Krip-Hop Institute, the election might also make it a little bit harder for my dissertation research there. Let’s send good vibes to our disabled people and everyone in Brazil! Today is the National Day of Struggle(or fight) of the People with Disabilities By Leroy F.

Academic Blues is breaking new ground in Black, Disability and Hip-Hop Studies and at the same time argues for radical community-based education and advocacy around Blackness and disability. This is not a 101 or an I story. The main goal of this book is to see and feel the deep roots locally to globally of Black disabled people with the term, Afro-Krip and a global movement of Krip-Hop Nation! Why This Book is Timely: As a Black disabled graduate student, I found out based on current data, Black students make up a smaller proportion of graduate students with disabilities than their overall student population, with statistics indicating that roughly 18% of Black undergraduates report having a disability, which is lower than the national average of 21% for all students with disabilities; this disparity continues at the graduate level where Black students with disabilities are underrepresented. In 2020 I interviewed five friends with physical disabilities, three who graduated with their Ph.D. and two were in the middle of their Ph.D. studies. All five friends had almost the same story of being the first Black/Brown physically disabled in their Ph.D. program and had to push back about writing on disability issues and had a lack of books that showcase their identities. Looking for a publisher! Leroy F. Moore 9/26 by @blackkrip
