regularly scheduled racism

Nev­er­the­less, we get this hope­less­ly naïve ver­sion of cen­trism, of the idea that if we’re nicer to the oth­er side there will be no oth­er side, just one big hap­py fam­i­ly. This inani­ty is also ap­plied to the ques­tions of be­lief and fact and prin­ci­ple, with some mud­dled cock­tail of moral rel­a­tivism and ther­a­pists’ ‘everyone’s feel­ings are valid’ ap­plied to every­thing. But the truth is not some com­pro­mise halfway be­tween the truth and the lie, the fact and the delu­sion, the sci­en­tists and the pro­pa­gan­dists. And the eth­i­cal is not halfway be­tween white su­prema­cists and hu­man rights ac­tivists, rapists and fem­i­nists, syn­a­gogue mas­sac­rists and Jews, xeno­phobes and im­mi­grants, delu­sion­al trans­pho­bes and trans peo­ple. Who the hell wants uni­ty with Nazis un­til and un­less they stop be­ing Nazis?”
Re­bec­ca Sol­nit: On Not Meet­ing Nazis Halfway

 

Se­ri­ous ques­tion for my White friends:

What are you go­ing to do to en­sure that we don’t re­turn to our reg­u­lar­ly sched­uled racism once Biden takes office?

His elec­tion does not sig­nal the end of the bat­tle for racial eq­ui­ty in our coun­try by any stretch and I want to make sure that we are all tru­ly com­mit­ted to ful­ly dis­man­tling the White Su­prema­cist sys­tem in this coun­try re­gard­less of who is in office.

It was easy to chan­nel our dis­gust with Trump and his bootlick­ing Nazi ex­trem­ists into sup­port for Black Lives Mat­ter and oth­er sol­i­dar­i­ty move­ments, but what are we go­ing to do to con­tin­ue the work on our­selves and find ways to pro­vide even more sup­port than we ever have to these com­mu­ni­ties even when we are back to be­ing more com­fort­able un­der Lib­er­al leadership?

I don’t need an an­swer, I just want to make sure we are all think­ing about this as we progress forward.
