"Queer" Afrogrifter Latoya Snell unveils her pro-Palestine stance
There is and could never be a silver lining in Israel's U.S.-powered depravity, but October 7 blew apart any remaining illusions about the legitimacy of complacent liberals' embrace of Wokism
All of the contrived and delirious foundations of Wokism—essentially any elitist-academia-bred form of cultural vandalism incorporating any of the terms “social justice,” “diversity,” “equity,” or “inclusion”—have been exploded since October 7, 2023, even if this intriguing and inevitable-in-some-form split isn’t a principal feature of Israel’s ever-expanding psychosis-fueled forced-famine campaign.
Until October 7, affluent, liberal, “highly online” (thanks, Jesse Singal) American Jews had been proclaiming "allyship" with all things Black Lives Matter since 2020. (Meanwhile, there are reportedly maybe 15 or 16 blue-heard lefty freaks in all of Israel.) For most of the past four years, this position was indistinguishable from that of other affluent, liberal, clueless white people. Yes, American Jews are white, even on the strategically chosen occasions some of the more publicly insufferable ones declare otherwise.
Wokish Jewish-Americans—or alternatively, shitlib members of the tribe—who instinctively aligned themselves with BLM resemble other Wokish Americans in another emergently relevant way: They apparently didn’t realize that BLM members and chapters advertised "standing with" Palestine from the very beginning, or alternatively, hoped this stark philosophical conflict would never become what The New York Times might call “a thorny issue.” All of this is exacerbated by anyone from Hollywood being catastrophically complacent and oblivious, regardless of background, and Hollywood being saturated with Jewish production, directorial, and performing talent.
As it happens, the Muslim world—and I hesitate to equate Palestinian Muslims with those elsewhere in most respects, but there are inextricable commonalities—is so infamously and absolutely resistant to the LGBTQ+ aspects of Wokism that it’s hard not to laugh at the huge number of non-minority pro-BLM hammerheads who never saw something like this coming. BLM and Antifa types are mostly nihilists who, when forced to choose between competing ideologies, always settle on the more conspicuously pro-death, pro-degeneracy option, and based on their own giddy TikTok and X expulsions, a lot of them are genuinely pro-terrorist, genuinely antisemitic, or both.
Race-grifters like Alison Desir offer no evidence of being any more concerned for the well-being and security of Muslims than they are for white people or for that matter the “urban poor”; depending on the direction and speed of ambient in-group political winds and shifting financial incentives, the Wokish can function efficiently as pro-Hamas antisemites and Islamophobes at the same time. Considering that these same people insist that it’s possible to change or even relinquish biological sex by a simple act of will, and that only certain “colors” of people can exhibit racism, this extreme level of cognitive partitioning shouldn’t be surprising.
Anyone who decides to put the Muslim world’s accommodation of queerdom to the test by visiting any Middle Eastern emirate, or Indonesia, or Somalia, and waving a pride banner there would probably be imprisoned or killed posthaste. However, I would propose a stand-alone contributing factor to BLM’s “pro-Palestine” position: American blacks and American Jews have been famously adversarial toward one another for decades, even if high-profile members of both groups always frame this cold-ish ethno-war as part a greater or completely different debate.
I would propose that radically different levels of objective success, at least some of which might lie in differential levels of directed motivation, have engendered this schism. Which maybe I’m imagining—I just want to get in on the game of stoking inter-citizen animus on little or sketchy evidence so that I can get more followers, as this now seems a prerequisite for media popularity and external esteem.
Latoya Snell is a fat, black, “queer” (she says—she’s married with a teenage son) woman from Brooklyn pushing forty who poses as a distance runner and whose grisly escapades are familiar to the irregulars who habitually consume Beck of the Pack output. Snell decided earlier this week to take a vague and curiously belated stand against Israel but not saying a damn thing about anything, other than implying that the skincare product she uses is Zionist-owned or -controlled. (That Snell has decided that her skin luster is among her top health-and-beauty priorities is a different matter.)
It doesn’t look like she actually removed the link associated with the product in question. And I have a feeling she’s unknowingly been using a lot of products made by companies that have explicitly pledged their allegiance to Israel for years.
But hey, even though she’s been quiet about it so far, Latoya Snell is pro-Palestine.
This stance, which I’m happy to help amplify, could slam shut some unanticipated doors in Snell’s online house of unearned corporate swag. Maybe she thinks announcing that she’s an antisemite (per current media and government standards, at least) won’t matter because she’s black, but after watching Kanye West, Kyrie Irving, and Candace Owens be almost instantly knocked out of their posts for picking versions of the same battle, I somehow doubt Snell has the clout to retain her sponsorships if her comments appear on the wrong observers’ radar.
My feelings on the impact in the U.S. of what violence underway in the Middle East centers largely on the breathtaking absence of proportionality or perspective on the part of high-profile, low-introspection Israel fanatics with U.S. citizenship. Much of my direct irritation stems from American Zionists’ unabashed hatred for free speech, which is as necessary to their aims as it is morally unforgivable and functionally intolerable. Zionists also refuse to admit that their whining about being criticized comes from the same “this is an exception” place as the Wokish people’s does and is thus equally illegitimate.
But a lot of my scorn arises from the Zionists’ dizzying sense of entitlement. At least Afroswindlers like Snell weren’t well-off to being with, and most won’t end up objectively wealthy.
Israel, meanwhile, is in no danger of not getting the funding it needs from the U.S. for its boom-booms no matter who is its president ten months from today. Joe Biden Jr. (or his eventual replacement), Donald Trump Sr., and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gave many ideological differences, but every one of them is firmly beholden to Israel. This is not a secret, anywhere, including in Hollywood.
This means that when people who live entirely online, in mansions, in limousines, at the Academy Awards, in fancy synagogues, or in production studios grouse publicly about rising antisemitism, it means they have the stones to grouse about their feelings being hurt. And this is a bad look when their grousing is about the willingness of others to condemn the slaughter the entire world is unwillingly absorbing.
The other day I got into the shower after pegging the nozzle to the usual position and the water was lukewarm because I had recently done laundry. I was at worst mildly uncomfortable, but for some reason at that moment I envisioned myself in a place with no water, or food, or meaningful sleep, looking around at piles of twisted steel and heaps of rock and items that were once furniture. Hungry beyond anything any of us have ever known, looking around at other gaunt faces with hellish understanding and fading hope. And I felt like a supreme asshole. I felt like taking a completely cold shower after that and trying to like it, but of course I didn’t, because what good would that do? As much good as a hunger strike.
And on the heels of this mirage, the face of ham actress Amy Schumer entered my mind. I couldn’t help but wonder the longest period Schumer has gone without inserting some kind of high-carbohydrate snack into her clever mouth in the past thirty years. But she can’t help being who she is, and she’s not the one dropping the bombs or blocking food convoys into Gaza. The people who are making it not so much difficult to be pro-Israel, as I would have counted myself with few reservations until recently, as practically futile to be pro-Israel, since it’s now entirely unclear what that nation-of-sorts—having finally secured international-pariah status its leaders have long dementedly and recklessly clamored form with embassy-bombings now part of the IDF repertoire—will look like going forward.
At this point, in fact, I wonder if the 2024 Summer Olympic Games will even happen, although maybe that’s just me wondering why the hell anyone would bother pretending that countries or transnational comity mean anything in Great Reset times.

As the father of a toddler, I am obviously distressed to hear that toddlers are being maimed and killed by bombs paid for by my tax dollars.
I want this shambolic slaughter-circus to stop. I think every institution involved in it, from UNRWA to the UN to Hamas to the IDF to the State Department—needs its entire org chart liquidated by bunker-buster bombs, leaving not a single box to check. I think all these offices need to be ground into dust the size of the FTX trading team. And I think if the world knew what I think I know, this would already have happened.
