If someone’s entire concept of a matriarchy is simply the devastation and takedown of the patriarchy, their scope is too small, still trapped behind the bars of the oppressor's framework.

Expecting Black bodies to do the work for them really is ancestral muscle memory for many of these ✋🏻s

Getting some traction in the 1.5-2+ gen FilAm community on the other app (not that one, the other one) is only highlighting how decolonization has to be ongoing and persistent work, because so many are woke but still yoked

The people banning all DEI in Government & pushing its elimination in the private sector, who fear mongered about CRT, who is banning teaching about the Tuskegee Airman in the Air Force, who repealed Affirmative Action, & who bans books by Black authors—want you to know that they don't see color.
