For Loser, erasure is the ideal form of reparations: scratching out one’s history, dumping the incriminating bodies off a cliff, snuffing out that history’s right to exist (rather than doing the more daily and difficult work of contending with its legacies in ordinary, ongoing life). Loser is angered the way people get angry when you point out racism, claiming that pointing out racism is itself racist, when in actuality what angers them is having racism named at all.
