rp @rachel.cargle: From white women calling the police on black people simply existing - using the police as their customer service line for the maintenance of white supremacy.....
•
To the police officers who are trained for escalated situations yet can’t manage their “fear”of black bodies and insist shooting us is their best bet.
•
To the white vigilantes who decide they have the right to kill based on how their feeling about any given black man, at any given time, in any given place....
•
The feelings of white people MUST stop being held in higher regard than black lives.
•
And they say we must protest peacefully? THERE IS NO PEACE WITHOUT JUSTICE. They come in snatching the breath from our babies, from our women, from our fathers, from our brothers, from our leaders. Then demand we ask a little nicer for our humanity. That WE are the ones without moral code. That WE show signs of being barbaric and uncontrollable. That we are asking for too much when we demand to have dignity and liberation.
•
My work is not to make life easier for black people in a white supremacist world. It’s to upend and burn down and eradicate the world that tell me “just one more decade, just one more generation, just one more century — we just have to have TIME and to shoot a few more practice rounds before we ‘learn’ how to believe your lives matter. Don’t worry, your equality will come......one day”
•
I don’t want equality with you. The way you live, exploit, degrade, overpower and oppress is of no interest to me. The revolution must be committed to making white people extremely uncomfortable. Black panthers armed and watching type of uncomfortable. The revolution will not be passive hopes of a reformed whiteness.
