There is literally no daylight between the genocide against Palestine & the daily oppression of being Black in America. I really need folks to understand this. 1/
Our communities, schools, hospitals, libraries, futures…

EVERYTHING is being drained of money & resources—

OUR money & resources, mind you

—and taken by the US govt to murder other Black & brown people, steal their land & give their land to white people. 2/
This is the same racial oppression & exploitation we’ve lived under for centuries.

Our labor is stolen. Our money, lives & children all stolen to profit the white capitalist owner class generation after generation.

But the UN ambassador is a Black woman so it’s OK now! 😀 3/
Black freedom fighters from Malcolm X to Mandela to Angela Davis have spoken clearly on this for decades.

I don’t know what else there is to say. You either side with the century-old system that oppresses & enslaves us (white supremacy & capitalism) or you desire freedom. 4/4

“We can’t just burn it all down!”

The system we live under presently, colonial capitalism, is collapsing.

It’s an unsustainable economic & social system b/c it’s built on slave labor, past & now

We can sit here & do nothing about it & the system will still collapse around us
“We can’t just burn it all down!”

Implies that civilians are the main ones destroying critical infrastructure when it’s clearly the ruling class.

What community is asking anyone to destroy their schools, water systems, public spaces, etc.?

These things are destroyed by policy.
To be clear, when I say we can sit here & do nothing & the system will collapse around us—

I mean like what we see now…

the unsustainable infrastructure of colonialism & capitalism is cracking & the most vulnerable people are the first to be abandoned

We need more dialogue about the phenomenon of white people using whatever marginalized identity they can claim as a cover for their racist actions against Black, brown & Indigenous people.

A lot of the professed fear over rising antisemitism is exactly that & we must be honest.
Even the idea that Israel is necessary b/c the USA isn’t a safe place for white Jewish people in 2023 is such a bald face lie.

Black, brown, Indigenous & Muslim people have never been granted the same proximity to whiteness as Jews of European descent.

Extreme gaslighting
And this goes back to people always pretending not to know how modern racism operates, pretending they don’t know racism is primarily about one’s physical appearance, skin tone & how much one resembles Anglo colonizers.

The idea that white people & nations are the only ones with an inherent right to self-defense is yet another byproduct of white supremacy 🤷🏾‍♀️

Israel has been kidnapping Palestinians & holding them hostage all this time & the world barely batted an eye before Oct 7.
Western white society is upset because they command us to treat the lives of white Europeans, Americans & Israelis with greater reverence than the lives of any Palestinian, Arab, Black, brown or Muslim people.

Literally all of this is about white domination & Black enslavement.
For the world to regard the life of one Palestinian civilian as equal to the life of one Israeli civilian is an affront to the white supremacist world order established by the western colonizers & imperialists.

Again— note the use of terms like “war” & “invasion” to describe the Israeli military storming what is essentially a ghetto that they’ve forced people into.
This is like the USA announcing it’s going to blockade & “invade” NYC because there are yet more “terrorists” there

& also that the millions of people who live in NYC with no way to flee may unfortunately be wiped out in the process.

It’s textbook genocide. No gray there.
Yes, my use of the word “ghetto” is a specific choice

because confining millions of people to a small area & then proceeding to wipe them out

is quite literally the origin of the word

Yes & also

The elimination of public facilities & amenities in the US is a direct response by the white elite to racial integration
No social or political phenomena in the US can be analyzed, understood or explained without consideration of structural whiteness/antiBlack racism
What I find most revealing in this piece is that modern tension over public restrooms is traced to 1970 which is of course right on the heels of

👩🏾‍🏫

You guessed it, well done

…And this is why Black neoliberalism is only ever an acceleration of antiBlack violence administered & supervised by Black officials
A Black mayor who polices Black people even more violently than his racist white predecessors… progress!
The establishment’s [initial] excitement about Adams was always based on the promise to lock up more people at the behest of the white elite in Manhattan
