The more details that come out about the #CapitolRiots the more the news is sheepishly leaking just how racially tinged the whole matter was and most remarkable with a smattering of dedicated accomplices of color in a sea of angry white males.

Like the Black officer being chased..."this is OUR America" they chanted at him....

Or "we defended you during Black Lives Matter, why don't you have our backs"

Or the multiple Black Capitol Hill police who were called n...... or told that racism doesn't exist or that this wasn't their country..

It makes me suspect that this event has not been read by the mainstream as an attack on Black and Brown (African descendant, Latin of color, Middle Eastern and South and Southeast Asian, and Native and Pacific Islander folk) but especially Black ppl for failing to submit.

I mean I said this during Obama's term
...the uptick in brutality was a proxy assassination. They could not get to him, so they were going to get to us. We were going to be terrorized out of citizenship.

And the rise in voter suppression and yanking away rights in Michigan and poisoning kids of all backgrounds in Flint and neighboring communities and empowering mass incarceration and food deserts..weakening the fight against white domestic terrorism while "Black Identity"

The goal here was to assassinate non white America.
No more savvy Asians in tech they rationalized, no more Mexican and Central American kids, no more Muslims in medical school, lets get more Norwegians they said...

How do we recover from this as a society with so many people who think they are losing their country to their neighbors?

DC is where I was born. I'm quickly losing it to domestic terrorism and gentrification

And parts of both parties feel that whiteness is the cure and to achieve it cruelty is the point...

You will never have unity with that mindset. We are not here to be grateful for that.

I'm exhausted here....everyday I know I'm being asked to submit. To accept voter suppression, to accept censorship of our liberation literature and policing of our liberation spirituality....asked to accept "Western supremacy" and Megyn Kelly's white god.

Millions have been made selling the idea of using isms to divide. ...we should be frustrated....we would have to work 1000 lifetimes to get the one check that Tucker Carlson and Rush get for calling us n...... by proxy.

We have to make such characters a worthless commodity...

But more importantly defend our own worth in the age of Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller. We have to defend our joy, our bonds of love, our systems of survival, and roots we put down.

I'm not satisfied. I'm stressed, but Resistance is required.

Thats all I have to say.
