   Very much looking forward to the sold out event getting ready to start:

   Building Justice with Derecka Purnell

   Join the CJC for a discussion on abolition and liberation for all peoples with lawyer, writer, activist and scholar Derecka Purnell.

   By Community Justice Collective

   Not a lawyer, so I don't get the PD/PE points, but still very much a topic of interest.

     Annoyed to have to type this, but:

     🔳 ⬜️ 🔲 ◽️ ▫️

     If whiteness was about skin colour, you wouldn't have groups of people who experience "conditional whiteness".

     ▫️ ◽️ 🔲 ⬜️ 🔳

     Say it out loud.
     Say it until you ACTUALLY understand it.

     Irish. Italian. White-passing.
     All should clarify to you what "whiteness" is.

     Skyler Williams (Landback Lane among many other thing) kicks off panel two by dropping some serious knowledge by pointing out that people lived on Turtle Island for THOUSANDS OF YEARS without fucking cops.

     Derecka follows up on the point by saying that these assholes came over here from a culture where there were HOMELESS PEOPLE, precisely because POVERTY IS AN INVENTION that requires police TO ENFORCE IT.

     She also correctly points out that the answer is Anarchy. Actual Anarchism, not what shitty white people have labelled "anarchy" in order to discredit the concept that people can exist without their back-assward concept of "civilization".

     Dalia from PYM is taking it forward talking about how Zionists have taken the European shitshow to Israel.

     I may have added the "shitty white people" bit.

     Yep.
     "Whiteness" is proximity to power.

     It's about who is given the freedom to behave certain ways.

     @Gigi@kolektiva.social I often like to point out to people that in my country I am considered "white".
     
     But if I were to ever move to the anglosphere I'd be reclassified as "latin"
     
     "White" is a social caste, not a skin colour, much less an ethnicity.
