The Amniotic fluid of racism
As a white person in the U.S., I was born into racism and bigotry.
It’s the water we swim in, the amniotic fluid of our beginnings. I’m saturated in it; whether I “like” to believe that or not is of no consequence.
I do anti-racism like a capitalist
When you do anti-racism instead of being an anti-racist, this is a clue that you’re doing it like a capitalist.
When your anti-racist practice is not practice, but a series of expectations you put on yourself and then beat yourself up if you can’t meet them all, this is a clue that you’re doing it like a capitalist.
Deconstructing Whiteness: sitting with the bones
There are no shortcuts through the revolution.
As a white-bodied person, I cannot work to dismantle racism in the world around me until I’ve examined the roots of racism inside of me.
Finding my WHY
To evolve as much as I can in this
Lifetime.
To cleanse bloodlines.
Break generational patterns.
To be a good ancestor.
Give them as little to unlearn as possible.
