A WORLD FREE OF RACISM & RACIAL INJUSTICE
“Black and Third World people are expected to educate white people as to our humanity. Women are expected to educate men... The oppressors maintain their position and evade their responsibility for their own actions. There is a constant drain of energy which might be better used in redefining ourselves and devising realistic scenarios for altering the present and constructing the future.”
― Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches
On Tuesday, December 1, 1955, a bespectacled African American seamstress who was bone weary of the racial oppression in which she had been steeped her whole life, told a Montgomery bus driver, “No.”
I say NO...
Blacks are NOT dangerous... Not to anyone.
Blacks are NOT disease-carriers...
Blacks are NOT subject to the whims of state violence...
Many psychological defense mechanisms come into plaay when humans try to mount excuses for actions that we want to continue despite ample evidence that we should stop.
I see this as a measure of our own inadequacies and false perceptions.
A world free of racism and racial injustice is something WE MUST ALL STRIVE RELENTLESSLY FOR TO ACHIEVE. #BlackLivesMatter
