Freedom is not the same as having "Black" versions of what "white" settlers have
NOBODY should have what "white" settlers have. NOBODY has the "right" to do what white settlers have done to the rest of the world. The point is, NOBODY should be allowed to do what has been done in the name of "whiteness".
Which goes to show...we do NOT all believe that we have the same problem...NOT everybody saying "Black Lives Matter" is necessarily fighting for freedom...
This is one reason why I've been bothered by the recent focus on "educating racist whites", because the unfortunate reality is...a LOT of the work of racist settler capitalism is done by "racialized" peoples. We, colonized peoples, have a considerable amount of unlearning to do.
EVERYBODY is implicated in racist settler capitalism. Not everybody benefits from racist settler capitalism BUT everybody is used in one way or another to sustain & perpetuate it into perpetuity.
