tussivonchaos: dmolech: tussivonchaos: heyangilmau: “White supremacy is the conscious or unconscious belief or the investment in the inherent superiority of some, while others are believed to be innately inferior. And it doesn’t demand the individual participation of the singular bigot. It is a machine operating in perpetuity, because it doesn’t demand that somebody be in place driving.” -Michael Eric Dyson There should never be a situation where my life is more valuable than my girlfriend’s, or my mother’s is more important than my future mother-in-law’s. That is the moment, whether with the police or judicial system or housing or hiring, when white lives matter too much. ✊✊✊✊ I am working on setting up an online store in the next month or so and it will include all of my Disney Resists prints! 10% of everything in my shop will go to the ACLU and other civil rights groups putting in the time this past year https://www.instagram.com/heyangilmau/ https://www.facebook.com/heyangilmau/ https://twitter.com/heyangilmau I disagree with this. Every life matters as much as the next. That’s the whole point of the BLM movement. I see that you’re German so maybe it’s not your fault that you don’t understand US racial dynamics or police brutality or hiring and housing discrmination, but if that’s the case you shouldn’t really be commenting on them. I understand that Black lives matter is trying to put the spotlight on the injustice towards black people in the American society, but all lives matter equally. Obviously white supremacy is an issue but putting black lives matter/white lives matter too much on shirts, even if it is just on an illustration, is giving them fuel to fight you back into submission. Take power away from them, instead of handing it back all the time with easily misunderstood slogans Here’s an idea: a slogan that is meant to express anger against injustice and provide an outlet for centuries of frustration, not necessarily placate those in power. The very term “white supremacy” is inherently admitting that white lives are valued higher than others, which means they are valued TOO HIGHLY. If someone is more offended by my drawing putting this concept into words than the death and incarceration of innocent black men and women, I already don’t care about having a conversation with this individual, I care about putting my votes and protests to work making sure they never have political power moving forward ♀️ Black Lives Matter is a very simple concept. White people took over continents and stole islands and killed communities and enslaved races for hundreds of years, they can pull up their big boy pants and figure out how to live with three little words for a few decades while the rest of us try and clean up the mess left behind. -- source link
