But here’s the truth, our work has always been about liberation, not saving whiteness from itself.
Our survival is not your safety net.
And our rest is resistance…because without it, there is no future beyond the myth of white supremacy.

And any white man who demands space to redeem while asking the harmed to silence themselves is refusing to build alternatives. He is refusing to believe that justice, not comfort, is the foundation of community.

CW: quote from Ijeoma Oluo on accountability
another banger from the same chapter
A lot of people confuse accountability with revenge. But accountability and revenge cannot coexist. Accountability is a relationship. It requires healing -- healing of the people harmed and healing of the relationship between those who committed harm and those who have been harmed. It requires healing of the community that enabled harm. Yet our system has deliberately confused the two. We call revenge and punishment accountability, and we have no tools for actual accountability.

CW: quote from Ijeoma Oluo on privilege
i picked up a copy of #IjeomaOluo's #BeARevolution today and thought this quote was realy good
When giving talks or interviews, I'm often presented with a variation of the same question:
- Is this is a feminist issue?
- Is this a racial issue?
- What about class?
All of these questions are asking the same thing: "What box can I fit this oppression into?"
[...] But oppression doesn't fit neatly into boxes. And if you think it does, that's likely your privilege talking. Privilege is meant to be invisible to those who have it. Often when systems that are difficult or oppressive for others seem to be working just fine for us, they are working for us because they were designed for us - at the expense of others. Privilege is also relative. That means that one aspect of our identity may be oppressed by a particular system, while another aspect may give us privilege over others, and we may fail to recognize the different ways in which the same system can be harming others. -

Ohhh man, I kind of want to go to this without even knowing what the book is about, just because I love her writing and general outlook and philosophy. I used to follow her on Twitter, and I didn't realize she's Seattle-based!
Anyone else want to join? I found out about it via a Meetup event.

CW: antiracism discussion, white fragility
this quote mirrors a line of thought from #IjeomaOluo 's So You Want To Talk About Race:
"Build a tolerance for discomfort. You must get used to being uncomfortable and get used to this not being about your feelings if you plan to help and not hinder people of color in their efforts for racial justice."
-
CW: antiracism discussion, why do we have to talk about race?
"Because our desire to not talk about race also causes us to ignore race in areas where lack of racial consideration can have real detrimental effects on the lives of others—say, in school boards, community programs, and local government. And while it may seem that people of color always need to “put race in everything,” it’s the neglect of the specific needs of people of color, which exist whether you acknowledge them or not, that necessitate it in the first place."
-
CW: antiracism discussion, why do we have to talk about race?
"But you are reading this book because you realize that we have to talk about race. Race is everywhere and racial tension and animosity and pain is in almost everything we see and touch. Ignoring it does not make it go away. There is no shoving the four hundred years’ racial oppression and violence toothpaste back in the toothpaste tube. In fact, it’s our desire to ignore race that increases the necessity of its discussion." [cont.]

CW: antiracism discussion, why do we have to talk about race?
i wanted to share another quote from So You Want To Talk About Race by #IjeomaOluo that i liked.
"Not all of us are lucky enough to have conversations on race with white people willing to take the emotional risk of investigating the role they play in upholding racism. [...] These conversations, when done wrong, can do real damage. Friendships can be lost, holidays ruined, jobs placed in jeopardy. For this reason, many people avoid the topic of race altogether and recoil when it’s brought into conversation." [cont.]

CW: antiracism discussion
"Once you know that your wild gesticulation is harming people (even if you’ve been raised to believe that it’s your god-given right to gesticulate as wildly as your heart desires without any thought of consequences), you can no longer claim it’s an accident when somebody gets hit."
-
CW: antiracism discussion
"The real tragedy is that you get punched in the arm constantly, not that one or two people who accidentally punched you in the arm might be accused of doing it on purpose. They still contributed to the pain that you have endured—a pain bigger than that one punch—and they are responsible for being a part of that, whether they meant to or not. And if you just punched somebody in the arm that would not be the time to talk about how important it is to protect your right to gesticulate wildly, even if sometimes you accidentally punch people." [cont.]
-
CW: antiracism discussion
"That person may not have meant to punch you in the arm, but the issue for you is still the fact that people keep punching you in the arm.
Regardless of why that last person punched you, there’s a pattern that needs to be addressed, and your sore arm is testimony to that.
But what often happens instead is that people demand that you prove that each person who punched you in the arm in the past meant to punch you in the arm before they’ll acknowledge that too many people are punching you in the arm." [cont.]
-
CW: antiracism discussion
there's a quote from Ijeoma Oluo from So You Want To Talk About Race that i wanted to share:
“Imagine if you were walking down the street and every few minutes someone would punch you in the arm. You don’t know who will be punching you, and you don’t know why. You are hurt and wary and weary. You are trying to protect yourself, but you can’t get off this street. Then imagine somebody walks by, maybe gesticulating wildly in interesting conversation, and they punch you in the arm on accident. Now imagine that this is the last straw, that this is where you scream.” [cont.]

@yatil Content of convo > tone. Impact of action discussed > intent. I can’t speak for the world, but the US has had public #accessibility laws since 1990. We didn’t get them via kindness & being polite about them hasn’t gotten us closer to folks actually following them. I love/encourage kindness, but if I’m accidentally being an oppressor (we DO all make mistakes), I just need to own/fix the problem instead of focusing on how it was corrected. #IjeomaOluo wrote great stuff about tone.

Eklat um Podiumsgespräch
Goethe-Institut lädt palästinensischen Autor Mohammed El-Kurd aus (20.06.2022)
Das Goethe-Institut will nicht mit Mohammed El-Kurd über die »globale Rechte« debattieren – wegen seiner Kommentare zu Israel in den sozialen Medien. Aus Protest über seine Ausladung springen nun weitere Gäste ab.
