The #truth #lies
in the #middle #way
where #souls #twirl
to #fading #moon
Where the #sage and the #fool #swoon
in #ecstatic trance

#Whirl with me
through the #bleak #sandstorms
We will reach
#beyond #norms
where everything is nothing

'Europe’s narrative is constructed on the exclusion of colonialism from its history, allowing the ideology of Europe’s racelessness. […] The disremembering of the colonial past shapes the contemporary perception of Europe as a progressive well-intentioned neutral mediator. Moreover, this colonial amnesia produces Europeans of color as outsiders and “aliens” threatening to the liberal continent’s identity.'

'Thus, racialized Europeans are forever “just arriving” and forgotten in the construction of a contemporary European identity. The book gives examples of continent’s Roma and Sinti populations who have resided in Europe for half a millennium and are constantly marginalized as foreigners.'
