Dear White People: It’s Not Just “Silence = Complicity” – It’s “Complicity With A Wanna-Be Fascist Regime Will Also Destroy YOUR Lives & Not Just Those Of ‘Othered’ People”

Posted on Deadsplinter 13/11/20

I didn’t think those of us toting around the “state-sanctioned violence every single time historically- & deliberately-disenfranchised people moved to exercise their full rights” receipts since 2014 were going to need to be this blunt in 2020, but here we are

Again

I’m … concerned … that yet more evidence (and an action plan, apparently) needs to be proffered at this point; I’m just going to quote other more prominent truthtellers because (for a myriad of reasons that ought to be glaringly obvious) I don’t want to yell.

Elie Mystal, Esq. on State-Sanctioned Violence

Asha Rangappa, Esq. on Bill Barr and His Endless Unsupported Lies and the Complicity of Media Refusing to Challenge Them

Disparate Treatment, False Equivalence, the MSM’s Steadfast Refusal To Address Either One and As A Result, Creating More of them Both

Brittney Packnett Cunningham, Harvard IOP Fellow, with an ACTION PLAN

That’s it. That’s all. I can’t put it any better than they did.

ETA: Grammarly says the text sounds “neutral”, so I will be … intrigued … if someone decides to interpret this as “strident” or “angry”. I might even so so far as to suggest they interrogate that perceptual bias, using some of the materials in the original text right here.

DiAngelo and Amanpour – Extended Conversation

And then they could maybe go make some of those calls and get to work.
