“Not until we white Americans disavow, relinquish, dismantle, and divest from white supremacy at an individual and institutional level will the systemic violence and terror wrought by a white supremacist society stop.” By mightykale
White privilege is a strange and pernicious thing. It can both make some voices really loud and create astonishing silence. We white folks need to learn how to use that loudness, but about the kinds of things that get silenced in this country. We can feed on the progress narrative that has comforted us and proclaim our individual selves as “not racist,” but that leaves the monstrous truth untouched.
I hear Morrison’s words as I witness the most recent events to enter the archive of American racial terror. The evidence of that racial terror once again is captured by a brave bystander, allowing us to witness the knee of a Minneapolis police officer on’s neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds.
