to bury the word in earth
Goal: to bury the word white supremacy, in earth. This is about me, my survival, my right to live in this world as a free person and not a slave. If my goal makes you uncomfortable, well, too fucking bad.
One evening in the year 2006, a man said to his friends, "Let's ask the cook."
The man asked their question, and I replied," I am a guest here and not the cook. You should ask the staff in the morning."
They stared at me, wondering how I could be a guest at an Italian villa on equal footing with Italian aristocrats.
The next day, I greeted the man and his friends with a polite buon giorno as they breakfasted on the terrace: no reply.
I laughed loud enough for them to hear me mock their stupidity.
A true story and as any PoC knows, there are many, many more.

niggas out here dying because of a social construct
To commemorate Land Day this year, Palestinians are planning a Global March to Jerusalem to highlight processes of land theft and dispossession in the city. Elsa Rassbach speaks with Palestinian leader Mustafa Barghouti on Jerusalem and thenon-violent resistance movement.
By Elsa Rassbach
On March 30 each year, Palestinians celebrate Land Day as a day of national struggle to commemorate protests in 1976 against Israeli confiscation of Arab land. The confiscation that sparked the protests took place in the Galilee and was seen as part of an Israeli policy to deliberately produce demographic change and create Jewish majorities in certain communities. The 1976 marches and general strikes spread to the Negev, resulted in the deaths of six unarmed Arab Israelis, and marked the first large-scale rebellion of Arab inhabitants of Israel after 1948. Widespread solidarity protests took place in the West Bank, Gaza, and in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon.
