#ViolaFletcher, who as a child in 1921 saw her affluent Black neighborhood torched by white citizens in what became known as the #TulsaRaceMassacre — one of the most violent acts of racial violence in #AmericanHistory — & who, a century later, testified in #Congress to the terror she witnessed in the hope of winning #reparations, has died. She was 111 & the oldest survivor of the attack.

Second, you don't normalise with a state for stopping a #genocide. You isolate them until the #genocidal #government has been dismantled, the perpetrators have been #arrested. #prosecuted, & #reparations have been made.

The attempts by #Western #institutions to normalise #Israel since the #ceasefire are disgusting & absurd.
First, Israel has not stopped killing #Palestinians, & by all accounts is eager to do more of it.

The truth is this: the myth of white supremacy has always been socialism in disguise. Not the kind rooted in fairness or justice, but one that reserves collective wealth, protections, and opportunity for whiteness alone.
The question is: will we keep letting this myth rewrite history, or will we finally acknowledge that the so-called “meritocracy” was never built without massive public investment?

B. I rarely ask for myself, but if you want to help me support my grandkids (5 of them) put a note TIP or something. Anything I can do to equip them with educational tools and experiences to achieve parity, I am most grateful for.

Every day I watch supposedly progressive people concern themselves with the wrongs upon their lives and even other continents while doing nothing to support #Reparations for the #Native#Indigenous#BIPOC#FormerlyEnslaved peoples on the stolen lands and lives they benefit from.
For those that do support our businesses & #IndigenousMutualAid; For those that understand the great harms inflicted upon us & the need for reparations; For those that do something about it, I thank you.

I don't talk much about the damage the #Colonization of North America and the subsequent #Independence of the #UnitedStates has done to my personal family. And I probably never will, but it has been substantial, even to this very day.
Certainly I confront what the land and resources theft, what the genocide and enslavement of millions of people has done to my people more than my mother or grandmother, who were much more shell shocked than I am.
