I hate listening to the abstract discussions of “the hurtful words” “harm” as they discuss whether to kick a loud proud white supremacist & antisemitism spouting racist off “committees” when they should be discussing how many years she should be locked up. The allowances they get
Black & Jewish folk don’t live in the abstract discussions in the halls of Congress. We are threatened in real life every single day. That lady gets the honor of such deliberation is an affront to us. The normalcy of white supremacy is buried in banality but remains deadly to us
We don’t “win” anything if one white lady is off a committee but is still in office, still given a platform, and still have her peers and leaders defending her. We lose. This is a loss and folk treating it as a win shows the depth & power of the living trauma of white supremacy
This is the living example and the famous Malcolm X quote about not fully removing a knife you stuck in my back. It’s still there. I’m not celebrating it being 3 inches instead of 6.
I was kicked off Twitter fir saying San Diego PD should treat maga like they treat Black folk. Kicked off for a week. She wanted to put a bullet in the Speaker’s head, blame Jews for fires, hang dems, & she loses a committee seat? The audacity of white privilege is our trauma
We are 1 month from an insurrection she wanted. We are in the aftermath of armed whites people deciding no rules applied to them. And we are one month into the casual acceptance that no real leader of that tyranny has been held to account and probably never will.
Black history month is a condensed reminder of the breadth and depths of white supremacy. when an avowed white supremacist is the biggest media attraction giving them the needed substitute they will forever look for with trump out - chasing the meth/heroin first high to the end.
Recognize your Black & Jewish friends and family survive this, go about our lives, create our happiness, and in the quiet of our souls hate it with the passion of a billion suns every second of every day.
