"The oppressor makes his violence part of the functioning society. But the violence of the oppressed becomes disruptive... because it is disruptive it's easy to recognize, and therefore it becomes the target of all those who in fact do not want to change the society" - Kwame Ture


Lol this is pretty funny

Let’s never forget that Frantz Fanon's dissertation was rejected, which was later published as Black Skin, White Masks. Academia has always tried to push out those who question its colonial, capitalist, racist, and heteropatriarchal foundations.

When retail giants like Target come into neighborhoods and end up pushing out mom and pop stores it’s like “oh, well. That’s capitalism.” But when a Target or Amazon Go closes, all of a sudden it’s a societal problem that we should all be alarmed about.

BREAKING: Target is closing nine stores across four states, including two in Seattle, citing theft and crime threatening workers and shoppers. komonews.com/news/local/tar…

They want Korea to stand shoulder to shoulder with the west but only white people in the west who share the same values. That's also why I don't care about this kpopxluxury brand turn because it's really just about their proximity to whiteness.

This is a shit take. Literally all my college students can write an essay about why you are wrong. Highly recommend reading Gloria Anzaldúa’s “How to Tame a Wild Tongue.”

Saying the quiet part out loud here.. The whole point of capitalism (feudalism, imperialism, colonialism etc)...

Property developer and CEO Tim Gurner: "We need to see unemployment rise. Unemployment has to jump 40, 50 percent in my view. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around."



This story is sooooo common and validating for anyone brought in to do community work or "make change" in an organization.

I wanna tell you about some (but not all) the bullshit I experienced when I was working at the Child Abuse Prevention Center as a facilitator, and later as a coordinator of parenting classes. 🧵

Hollywood wants you to care about representation completely decontextualized from how they're being represented or how that representation serves the plot. It's in their best interest to have you defending it before knowing what it's about because now you're already committed
