The Inner Thoughts of A Queer Feminist

“As an Indian person I am not looking to be equal to white males, I am looking to fucking destroy white supremacy and not be afraid for my children in the hands of white lawmakers, white law enforcement, white educators and anyone else they might encounter who have the ability to oppress them.”

- Josh Macedo

This is why I fight racism everyday. Because I know I won’t solve it in my lifetime, but maybe I can make it that much better for my kids, for my little sister, for my nephews and for my nieces.

“The best way to dehumanize someone while claiming you’re not is to believe you are just the same. You erase their experiences and perspective, their struggles and obstacles, their unique way of having to deal with those things in a world that also erases them. With the words, ‘but humans are humans’ or the bs dramatics of ‘we all bleed red’ normal people can simply pretend that if we all did things the way they did, then everything would work out okay. But, yes, we all bleed red but you don’t treat a papercut the same way you treat a gash, you don’t treat an infected wound the same way you treat one that isn’t, you don’t treat a wound to the leg the same way you treat a wound to the gut. You are not acknowledging someone’s personhood when you ignore the very things that make their lives different than yours, and when you refuse to understand that their circumstances have given them their own perspective that is just as valid as yours. More valid in fact – their perspective about their experiences that you haven’t been through is far more valid than anything you could ever think about it.”

The danger of worldviews (Speaking when the world sleeps)

Truth bomb if I ever saw one.
