Violence in Fanon

One thing that struck me throughout the chapter "On violence" was the sense of pace and timing that went into the document.  Colonization was tied into acts of violence but also provided the colonized with a sense of what was and wasn't appropriate.  Colonization, as a form of capitalism, came with its own schedule and mentality about what is and isn't appropriate for the colonized people and spaces.  Local elites were replaced with an urban elite that now took over control of the nation and the mentalities of the newly created space.  Fanon's work represents an underlying facet that violence, isn't necessarily physical, but rather, represents an interruption in the process and bodies of the people.  Colonization, usually maintained through some form of apartheid, interrupts how people think, plan, and consider their own lives.  Without much considering, it is easy to find ways that minoritized groups are interrupted and disrupted.  I remember something that Dr. Leonardo said at CRSEA16 that we have to take back violence (meaning interruptions), and I wonder about a life of constant interruptions.  I know that chaos theory says something about chaos not really being chaotic but being ordered in large macro-ways and being freeing in some ways.  Is an ordered system the product of colonization?  Is chaos part of un-colonization?  Or should we stress the de-organizational aspect of this work?

I am thinking again about Colin Kaepernick.  He's a football player, activist, and someone who also believes in America.  When he interrupted the order, the first claim was that he was just a football player.  He disrupted the order and the order demanded that he stay in the box.  How do we arm ourselves for this constant friction?  How do we make lives of constant interruption?  How do we know that we are pushing into new areas?  How do we de-colonize the ordered system?
