Our Black spaces have also been focusing on Palestine. And again, mainly lead by Black Americans and members of Black American orgs who recognize what it means to live in the Imperial Core.

Where their governments are one of the largest contributors to this Genocide.

It's up to white people to stop slacking, and use their privilege, and numbers to oppose their governments and opposing white people who are supporting these governments.

@DavidBruchmann

This is a continuation of white people supporting Colonial nonsense because it legitimizes their histories of committing atrocities.

Even amongst staunch Black American Christians, they call out their own community members:

We got Black Christians on here who call out their fellow Christians for not drawing the line at Genocide.

@DavidBruchmann

Palestinians have already done the ground work necessary with Black Americans to lay the groundwork. We are seeing the fruits of that today with Solidarity from Black leftists groups.

They had invited Black folks to come to Palestine and see what they are going through years ago. They have maintained Solidarity throughout the decades.

Black Americans are not the problem.

Every group has their bootlickers.

Their Liberation movements support Palestine.

But again, you'll support what Israel is doing. You'll send weapons and be unbothered. You'll send money and be unbothered. You'll support Israel and be unbothered.

White people are violent people, who only know how to speak to non-white people using violence.

That is an acceptable form of communication for you as long as it's being done to people you can't picture looking like you.

May your Empires crumble you racist fucks.

You understand why most people descended from slavery don't know which tribes we are descended from without a DNA test?

What you did to our languages? Our histories? Did you outlaw our cultural practices?

You realize that you resorted to mass murder when we inconvenienced you?

When we asked for our freedom?

So you act like we don't understand what's going on when we look at what is being done to Palestinians.

Those of you in the US have an election this year where you get to elect the leaders of your Terrorist Regime.

Canada elects it's new Terrorist leaders in 2025.

These Terrorist Regimes will continue to support the Israeli Terrorist Regime. And you'll continue to be unbothered.

Why?

These terrorist entities posing as "civilized" countries are all spawned from European Colonialism.

But it only counts as terrorism when it's not the oppressor doing it.

To you, this shit is OK because it's in the name of Colonialism.

Colonialism is always justifiable to you.

Zionism is Colonialism.

It's violence is Colonialism.

It's entitlement is Colonialism.

Fuck Colonialism.

And if you are unbothered by Colonialism, Fuck you too.

People ask for rights, this is your history of action:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharpeville_massacre

Your behavioural pattern as a group of "Superior Beings". So "civil" you are.

You all do the same shit everywhere you go.

So of course, you're unbothered when the same types of shit are done to Palestinians.

Wait until you leave American history, and look at the rest of the Colonized Americas. And all the shit you don't know about. But would be unbothered if you did.

After all, you got to enjoy an abundance of affordable products through the enslavement of our ancestors, whether in Europe, or the Americas.

When we got massacred, and when we get massacred, you're ok with it. So of course you're not going to care about Palestinians.

You hear about shit like The Kissing Case 1959:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kissing_Case

"How could that happen?"

It wasn't a one-off thing. That's just an instance that got attention. This shit is rampant in your history.

And you are still fucking doing it today.

How many Black children are exposed to police violence today?

And you are unbothered.

So of course you're going to be unbothered when the victims are Palestinians.

I have zero expectations of you when it comes to adults, and the elderly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children's_Crusade_(1963)

If this was 1963, you'd be unbothered by the violence against children during the Children's Crusade in Birmingham, Alabama.

It was on TV too.

I know you'd be doing nothing.

Worse than that, you'd gladly maintain your relationships with others who were unbothered or even thought the police's response was justified.

It's Black History Month.

You're learning about the shit your ancestors did to ours. You're learning about what is happening to us right now. People are doing the same type of dehumanizing shit to Palestinians right fucking now.

You're unbothered by it.

Don't you dare tell me, you're not your ancestors.

So I said in the past, it's not the Nazis I'm most concerned with when it comes to the Fediverse. Nazis are generally accepted as bad, and people will defederate with their instances and block them.

It's where whiteness sets their bars for what is OK to be on here that worries me. As long as someone doesn't have their Klan robes on, they're given the benefit of the doubt.

There's a genocide happening. Fucking excise genocide apologists from your fucking communities.

I'm going to ask this here. Maybe it will give others places and peoples to look into this month who often go overlooked:

Where are your deficits in knowledge/awareness of Black History and Black Movements where you live and abroad?

Anyone can reply.

If someone answers with something you feel you have some resources to get them started, feel free to reply as well.

For a lot of people, it's not about "Why should I trust you?", it's about "Why should I distrust you?"

This is a big barrier in why your relationships with people in certain demographics are so shallow.

You are too busy trying to prove to people you're safe as a person.

You should be deconstructing why you are unsafe for some people and working on fixing that.

If you are unsafe to be around, people will not trust you and those who do will be hurt by you.

This is a repeating process. You don't become a "safe" person in one day. You become safer over time.

The only ways that you can learn how to be a safer person is by listening to affected people about how your demographics oppress others. You have to do more than just hear them. You have to unpack all of that.

It's a process not a moment.

Eventually you become a safer person to be around.

There's more to that story.

The US invaded Haiti from 1915 to 1934. One of the first things they did was steal their gold and move it to the US.

There is also the Caribbean Basin Initiative in which "Food Aid" has been weaponized to undermine local food production. The exploitation of the state apparatus by the West to undermine local industries in general. Haitian Rice is an example where rice tariffs were removed and destroyed the whole local industry.
