The Consumption Machine: How White Supremacy Devours Both Human and Animal Bodies
When Jordan Peele's "Get Out" premiered in 2017, it wasn't just another horror film - it was a cultural revelation exposing the cannibalistic nature of white supremacy. This is the foundation of Aph Ko's groundbreaking work "Racism as Zoological Witchcraft," which offers a revolutionary framework for understanding how racism and animal oppression function as dimensions of the same structure. Ko doesn't just challenge how we think about race and animals - she dismantles the very categories that have kept these conversations separate, revealing how white supremacy operates as a consumption machine that metabolizes both human and nonhuman bodies deemed "animal." For decades, Black liberation and animal rights movements have existed in seemingly perpetual conflict. The mainstream narrative suggests this tension exists because Black people are focused on securing human rights, making animal concerns seem offensive or secondary. This divide is reinforced by animal rights groups creating insensitive campaigns that appropriate Black struggles and white-dominated vegan spaces that feel unwelcoming to people of color. Black people have a particularly complicated relationship with animals due to a colonial history that has perpetuated dehumanizing associations between Blackness and animality. When celebrities declare they'll "wear fur every day until police stop killing Black people," they reflect a common but flawed perception that Americans care more about animals than Black lives. Our cultural setup forces marginalized groups to compete for attention, as though only one group can achieve liberation at a time. Rather than being simply "anti-speciesist," we need to examine how the concept of "animal" informs racism itself.
