racism comes in many forms. Why because of my skin color should I accept Napoleon, Queen Elizabeth and Jules Cesar's history as my own? Why are people trying to keep me in a box that is not mine? Trying to reduce me to the history of the invaders like if my ancestors initiated that whole conquest. It is sad that the black history is limited to one month of acknowledgement. But the year long white history being pushed down my throat is also a lie and a disgrace to my real history and that of my ancestors. The uni dimensional white history is shadowing my real history and forcing me to accept the one presented as mine. Do you see the programming, the planned division being worked out? Where is the month in which we can resurrect the traditions, beautiful spirituality and political fight of my ancestors? I do not have a home to go listen and learn about my history, not even a month to do so. Thus yea, I am attracted to the fight of the natives and of the so-called blacks and of any oppressed people on the face of this earth because just like them, I have been cut off from my real tradition and spirituality, cut off from my real identity and nature. The content and energy shared in these gatherings are the closest to home I have ever felt. Not because I dream of being black or native but because I dream of being human. But in certain occasions I am being pushed back to the white side. Your skin is white so obviously you need to go chill with your friend enjoying your white male privileges. No!!! According to you I can only be the descendant of some rich racist colonisor who stole from natives and enslaved Africans. This is straight up racist bro. This is the racist program that you have developed to believe as true. You are pissed just like me about injustice and lies but choose the easy way out to channel your hate using the division programm pushed on you. My home is defenetly not amongst the oppressor, but if the oppressed do not reconise me as a brother (with involontary white priviledges) and include me in the process of searching for ourselves and connecting with fellow humans, then where should I go?
