I especially liked the part where you reference hall and then immediately try to turn the argument around about saudi visiting x country etc...- when hall is saying all along it doesn't matter what race you are.

Even more hilarious because the original argument is specifically saying it's all the white fault and there needs to be an anti white movement.

This is among the most bizarre interactions I've ever had.

Read this

Read what?

I'm not telling you blows a raspberry

How will I ever get out of my echo chamber?

Yeah. Again. Your history speaks for itself

Just to shut you up on this particular farce

Thank you.

They first one is a good article. I have my critique, but it is good. I don't think it contradicts what I've been saying, though. It concludes:

… none of this is to suggest the literature or the racial capitalism concept should be renounced. There are tensions but these are productive tensions. This counsels that we should embrace rather than overthrow the racial capitalism concept. … [T]he problematic it opens up is far too important to ignore.

As for the second, I can't say much until I've dug up more than the abstract but I'll say that while Robinson's work is a good place to start, I'm arguing in the vein of a different tradition, which centers Fanon not Robinson.

Anyway, thanks for the sources. I'm always open to reading more about the concept of racial capitalism.
