But it’s no wonder- despite this long and painful #history of betrayal- that YOU still don’t know who we are. We know well that the #oppressed carry the memory of every wound, but the #oppressor forgets the scars it has inflicted." -

The fifth myth is that the #Palestinian struggle is that of terrorism and nothing more. The struggle led by the PLO was a liberation struggle against a #colonialist project. Somehow the #world finds it difficult to grant legitimacy to anti-colonialist struggle when most of the #oppressed are Muslim and the oppressor is Jewish. (9)

The thing is that growth of #liberal #democracy implies the hitherto #oppressed (e.g. #women, #poor, #marginalized, etc.) became better off and the ones at the top (i.e. #men from dominant #tribes) started really hating that. They subverted democracy to gain more #money (low #taxes) and #power to turn back time (i.e. #MAGA) They use both money and power to increase #tribalism which weakens #liberal #democracy that in turn weakens #economic #growth - get it?

hey #cultists #christians, #remind me how y'all are sooooo #oppressed again? because when your #dogmatic bullshit gets put into fucking #law, i don't think you can say that.

I would like to #remind to my fellow #white #women that even if you are #oppressed for being a #woman on the other hand you are #privileged for being white. You are an oppressed category, yes, but this doesn't change the #fact that you still have #WhitePrivilege.

Everyone Matters [Sermon]
David Hayward is a cartoonist who goes by the name The Naked Pastor.
On his website he says
In case you’re wondering, I’m not actually naked. The idea behind my name, NakedPastor, is to seek to tell the naked truth – no matter how vulnerable it feels. I used to be a pastor but I’ve been creating art and working towards freedom with this community for over 10 years now.
He has a number of cartoons about sheep pens where the sheep have evicted one of the sheep – sometimes a black sheep, sometimes a sheep in rainbow or trans colors.
In some, the shepherd brings the evicted sheep back to the fold.
In one particularly distressing cartoon, the sheep keep discussing inclusion of the sheep outside, while the sheep outside perishes.
Let’s go to God in prayer.
God of wisdom, may the words that I speak, and the ways they are received by each of our hearts and minds, to help us to continue to grow into the people, and the church, that you have dreamed us to be.
Amen.
This country has a compassion crisis.
There’s not enough of it.
Various groups have been described as
Lazy
Criminal
Mentally ill
Evil
When there were cries of “Black Lives Matter” the response was “All Lives Matter.”
Language is interesting. Various phrases can mean more than one thing.
For example:
If I were to say that bread and water is better than nothing, you might agree.
If I were to say that nothing is better than getting one’s favorite meal prepared expertly, you might also agree.
So bread and water is better than nothing, which is better than you favorite meal, and so you would choose bread and water over your favorite meal.
What went wrong?
Nothing means different things in the two statements.
Bread and water is better than having nothing to eat.
There is no thing better than your favorite meal.
You would never say having nothing to eat is better than your favorite meal.
You would never say there is no thing better than bread and water.
Likewise, when people say “Black Lives Matter,” they are asserting that Black lives are included in the lives that matter.
They are making that case in opposition to a culture that does not seem to value Black lives.
When people counter with “All lives matter,” they are, at best, ignoring the apparent devaluation of Black lives, and at worst are deliberately drowning out the voices of people in pain.
There are arguments that gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and other sexual and gender minorities are asking for special rights that others do not have. In actuality, these people are asking for special protection of the same rights others have without question.
When people advocate for food, housing, and healthcare for people in poverty, they do not at the same time ask that the wealthy also have food, housing, and healthcare. We don’t need to ask for those that have much to have even more.
In his ministry, Jesus spent a lot of time with ordinary people, and especially with people that society had dismissed as being of low value. Yes, he spoke with the wealthy and powerful, but most often on behalf of the poor and oppressed.
For 165 years this church has continued as a Christian church in the Congregational tradition. In those years it has stood for social justice for many different groups.
We have had banners out front: At first, rainbow banners, but also other banners that lifted up the those with less power. And at times those banners have been defaced, torn, removed, and on at least one occasion someone tried to set fire to a banner.
These actions, while distressing, tell us:
- people can see our banners
- the banners are affecting people
These banners are a witness that we are the church for the one coin of ten, or the one sheep of 100. Beyond that, they are a witness that everyone matters.
This is not the same as “All Lives Matter” in response to “Black Lives Matter.” It is an assertion that no one is left behind.
The compassion crisis in our country is a dangerous crisis. It’s the kind of crisis that prophets have prophesied against.
In our reading from Jeremiah, God speaks through the prophet:
“For my people are foolish; they do not know me;
they are stupid children; they have no understanding.
They are skilled in doing evil, but do not know how to do good.”
– Jeremiah 4:22, NRSVue
Devout followers of religions are often concerned with their own purity: Not eating the wrong things, not wearing the wrong things, not doing the wrong things, and of course prayer and attendance at worship services.
But most religions have scripture about caring for others. The Hebrew prophets called for caring for the poor. Jesus called for caring for the poor.
And yet, these are the things that are often overlooked while we focus on our own holiness.
I believe that no one can be holy while excluding others.
I’ll say that again:
No one can be holy while excluding others.
We are living together on this planet. God has created us all and called us good. To consider ourselves above caring for another is presumptuous.
So my challenge to all of us this week is to search for the lost coin, find and recover the lost sheep, remember that everyone matters.
Amen.

The same goes for people of the #globalmajority —and anti-Blackness is *often* demonstrated by non-Black people of the global majority.
Your #oppressed identities do not make you immune to oppressing others. If anything, they can sometimes encourage you to hold fiercely to the remaining power and #privilege that you *can* access.

"It is not the #oppressed who determine the means of #resistance, but the #oppressor."
—Nelson Mandela#Resisters take action with clear & attainable objectives in mind. Ideally their objective is decisive (but it may also be shaping or sustaining). This goal motivates members; it also informs the structure of a movement, its strategy, & its tactics.

I swore to never be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim; silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) Romanian-American novelist, professor, political activist, Nobel Laureate.
Speech (1986-12-10), Accepting the Nobel Peace PrizeSourcing, notes: wist.info/wiesel-elie/8029/

When #education is not #liberating, the #dream of the #oppressed is to become the #oppressor” (Paulo Freire)

I always hear the #oppressor say
'When #youngling of #oppressed can be #proud of their #origin, why can't we?'
Well, the answer is simple... Oppressed are proud of their #root because of what their #ancestors did, how they #survived, #fought and #raised them despite of everything #against them... While the ancestors of oppressors gave that pride away because of their #Criminal activities of taking advantage of their #status created by oppression.

Recently I saw #ReggieJackson at a sportscaster round table reminiscing about his experience as a black player in minor league baseball in the Jim Crow South. He was brutally honest about the #racism he faced. Legal #slavery may have ended, but practical slavery, the #colonization of ones’ own person, was still in full force. The only way he survived as a black player was because white team mates and managers stood up for him: “If he doesn't eat here, WE don't eat here.” I seem to recall that when my late father-in-law was stationed in the Jim Crow South, he was ordered not to eat in segregated towns that refused to serve black service members. #Solidarity with the #oppressed was the answer. #Oppression remains unchallenged as long as we are not willing to deny ourselves the benefits of membership in the #privileged #class.

We're a family of #USInvasion on #Vietnam #WarSurvivors in #solidarity with #Palestinians & all #oppressed peoples of the world. We've suffered similar #WarCrimes & atrocities & ecocidal crimes by foreign oppressors. Decades later, we're still fighting for justice & reparations.

The truly weird juxtapositions of relentlessly bad things in our times never cease to amaze. So should you be #Optimistic ? Well...remember the view from the #NoeticSpectrum is that we have been blessed with a cake that can't be taken from us. Cake is good. We'd of course prefer for humanity to get over itself in time to save our planet and see the #Oppressed understand how the freedoms of #Democracy can get us past all the fear driven greed and power mongering holding us back.

The idea of #Christmas as the #incarnation of God’s #liberative power of #love and #justice for the #poor and #oppressed is terrifying for the powerful and unjust, which is why #churches that are coopted by #empire don’t talk much about those things during Christmas.

"The terms #genocide and #ethniccleansing have been used a lot since Oct. 7, often #indiscriminately and #withoutcontext. But their #meanings run deep, especially for #queer and #trans #people who are #historical #victims of #genocide and who often, as an #oppressedminority, stand in #solidarity with other #historically #oppressed #groups or are also themselves members of those #groups"

"Ever notice it's always, "these #workers #striking will hurt the #economy," not, "these #corporations (which are making record #profits) are hurting the economy by #exploiting and #abusing their workers until the workers refuse to take it anymore."
It's always, "giving raises and benefits and time off to workers will cause inflation," not "#CEOs and top execs getting millions in yearly raises and bonuses, and large corporations #price-gouging to line #shareholder pockets is causing inflation."
As #MalcolmX said, "If you're not careful, the #newspapers will have you hating the #people who are being #oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the #oppressing."

People are very tied to their language and don’t like change, especially when it #challenges a #PowerStructure . In #Winnipeg , Bishop Grandin, a symbol of #colonial power, is being #replaced by #languages of the #historically #oppressed : #Cree , #Ojibwe & #Métis . While this is precisely the point behind the change, it may make those uncertain about changing power structures uncomfortable.
