"If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that's not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. They haven't pulled the knife out; they won't even admit that it's there." —Malcolm X
The people in your life who come to you directly with tender but tough feedback; who don’t whisper off to the side with others but sit u down and say it thoughtfully face to face; those people are invaluable. Those people help you grow & keep you grounded. Keep those people close
May you have the courage to shift from being a big fish in a small pond to entering into deep waters where you are required to grow.
Greater is calling you.
A person will literally hurt you in unbelievable ways and then hold you to this weird standard on how you response to they actions and treat you like you have no right to respond upset, with heightened emotions or anger even when it’s absolutely called for.
Housing is community safety. Poverty reduction is community safety. Food security is community safety. Access to health care is community safety. Keeping communities safe is so much bigger than the “justice system.”
Please don’t use my father to suggest or assert that #respectability cures #racism.
The white supremacy affirming racist discriminates against Black bodies whether the bodies are in sharp suits or sagging pants.
Lastly...my father was assassinated while dressed “respectably.”
This image is so powerful. I think of it in terms of being chronically ill/disabled and trying to make the best of that, especially because everyone wants you to. It’s exhausting making lemonade out of lemons indefinitely.
I had someone tell me they couldn't be racist cause they did hours of anti racism training.
The irony is if they had learned anything, they would instead be willing to listen and do better. Instead of thinking that they can't ever be racist.
