For all those racist "activist" (belive there are alot) lets talk about how THERE IS NOT CLIMATE JUSTICE WITHOUT RACIAL JUSTICE 🧵✨
still @re_cabrerab here and as a woman of color I have suffer racism inside this movement so is time to talk a little bit of this ✨
We are a society that has been structured from top to bottom by race, where white people have obvious privilege and have been responsible for the oppression suffered by BIPOC+
For 500 years, one of the largest displays of racism has occurred in the displacement and murder of indigenous and racialized communities+
Environmental racism is a form of racism that harms racialized communities through environmental effects. These communities are directly affected by structural mechanisms such as neocolonialism, neoliberalism and extractivism
racism is not only about a form of discrimination is a system that shows in actions like taking the land of BIPOC people and even police and military brutality but also tokenism and not listening+
racism is a system that we have to fight against and as Angela Davis says it is not enough being "not racist you have to be ANTIRRACIST"
Because climate justice without racial justice IS THE NEW COLONIALISM
Because climate justice without racial justice IS THE NEW COLONIALISM
