I know this is the trendy thing to say, but that doesn& #39;t make it right. Structural racism will not be addressed by asking other oppressed minorities to assume the burden of responsibility for a system that exploits and brutalises us ALL. https://twitter.com/thebrownhijabi/status/1265923940045766657">https://twitter.com/thebrownh...
Prejudice within S.A. communities is absolutely real, but the way to tackle this is not through individualised calls for us to simply & #39;unlearn& #39; things which are deeply structured through caste, class & capitalism, but to engage in collective efforts of solidarity and resistance.
This also means we need serious structural analysis from which to articulate strategy/demands, and not this endless navel gazing obsession with individual actions & culpability, which diverts from the institutions and groups that wield actual material power over all of us.
POCs doing this is no better than white people who are, encouraged to & #39;examine their own privilege& #39;, but actually come no closer to the forms of understanding the struggle we need in order to tear down racism.
