Gentrification in Bklyn

i have spent the passed 2 hours looking through the archives of this tumblr, a tumblr one of my old friends and i shared, ‘nubian queens and tight jeans’ which i renamed to Brooknam Geo . 

upon sifting through the archives from information, posts, pictures, people i used to know, some pictures of people i am still in contact with, old silly answers to serious questions we received anonymously, to the 6 year younger me (without my children, or the thought that i’d have children) and young thoughts. so, i began to delete all the old posts...

somewhere in the middle of deleting all the posts, it dawned on me that i was erasing HISTORY. how ever small, this was something we documented together. this is something i needed not do. 

 originally i needed to post an informational text about how within the passed 10 years the neaghborhood i reside, bed stuy-nyc, is changing.... and then this.

Toni Morrison Takes White Supremacy To Task

Few intellectuals have waged a public battle against white supremacy and patriarchy like Toni Morrison. Morrison has both examined and challenged systems of domination throughout her intellectual life. With her novels, essays, and interviews she has taken critical looks at the interlocking systems of race and gender oppression. In this interview she is asked by PBS’s Charlie Rose what it is like for her to encounter racism. In true Morrison fashion she turns the question on its head, and places the onus for explaining racism back into the hands of White people. She asks Rose what he thinks of racism, why do Whites hold onto, and what are they going to do about it ending it. She rejects the notion that racism is simply something that Black people must grapple with, insisting, demanding, that White people also grapple with it. Fearless. Brilliant. Powerful.

TO WHITE FEMINISTS: your racism is showing when our anger makes you panic. even when we are not angry at you or yourracism, but some simple, ordinary thing. when our expressed anger translates to you as a threat of violence, this is your unacknowledged fear of retribution or exposure and it is revealing your guilt.

I couldna said it better myself.

see no evil

fear of facing truths about the psychological damage caused bt centuries of oppression. we are reluctant to challenge oppression and discrimination or being labeled "stuck in the past." such anxieties lead us to avoid honest self-examination, which discourages critical thinking. slavery and racial oppressions were painful and traumatic. the natural inclination of the human mind is to repress pain, suffering and trauma. a history of powerlessness had conditioned us to tolerate, and stop questioning that which we feel we cannot control.

you hate me because i'm white, though i love those around me, regardless of what they look like. i love you, because those who hold hate in their heart need love the most. learn to open up, not everyone will hurt you.

oddly enough, i've never mentioned hate... in any of my responses. hahaa, besides you're gray.

In regard to your Jewish Holocaust Propaganda post, do you feel it's necessary and/or legitimate to put down one group of people for their suffering by stating another group has and is suffering a lot more? Do you believe that a comparison between two oppressed groups of people is fair? I really just want to hear more of what you think about it, I'm interested.
