Abstract

This essay weaves together elements of the concepts of spacetime, demons and the U.S. popular culture concept of demon time to postulate the end of the world and bring a conclusion to white supremacist and anti-African American worlds. Topics discussed are Black posthumanism as the foundation of Black transhumanism or technological materialization, time dilation as an element for understanding how African Americans experience time, and demon time as a way to bring African American realities.
