@Barrikoi1 I knew an older woman who joined to get away from her husband. She was Catholic and couldn't divorce him, so she joined. I just looked to see that it's being reconstituted post Trump. I might just go have an adventure in a few years. @alyaza
@Barrikoi1 Unfortunately, we don't. There are some great lawyers focusing on African Americans and land nowadays. It's an uphill battle, like most things around here, but the only way forward is through. I only started to learn a little bit about the history and present day plight of Black farmers during the Trump admin. And, I think gardening is a great thing for young people to learn. There's something centering about growing things, using your hands, working with soil. @alyaza
@Barrikoi1 This land issues touches a lot of us. It happened to my family as well in Maryland. Black farmers seem to go through hell in all sorts of ways, from seeds to loans to land. @alyaza
@jennyzilliac I meant Black people have never waited. We've always kept it moving and fought for our rights. We might not have been completely successful yet, but we don't give up. The" struggle continues." We "keep our eyes on the prize." Hell, we wake up every fucking day and keep trying. Every fucking day. Trust me, it's a struggle.@Techronic9876@DoiDoi@PaX
@jennyzilliac "Separating out white racism and white people as a unique problem creates obstacles to civilizing us all. It allows the bogus part of the conversation to fester and draw resources." This part of your post doesn't particularly lead me to believe that. This part of what you wrote is what we've been talking about during this conversation. Let's analyze it. Please expound upon this thought for me. @Techronic9876@DoiDoi@PaX
@jennyzilliac So, how are you going to get other white people on board for their own salvation? That's a job that belongs to white people. There's nothing we, Black people, can do to make white people stop oppressing us. What's the plan to save yourselves?@Techronic9876@DoiDoi@PaX
