About

"The two of us were children and as children we were simple and complicated and we didn't get tangled up in words."

Leftist, radical politics, shitty poetry, some poopy poop, New Orleans, Latin American shit, things that make my booty bounce.

Brown & Black kids get arrested for peaceful protests, or just for being in public, every day. this makes me want to break things. america isn’t rotten when a 7 year old black girl is shot in the head by the police who were showing off for a tv show, america isn’t rotten when a 9 year old latina girl is shot by a supremacist vigilante posing as law enforcement, but let a little white girl get put in handcuffs and the whole world is ready to riot.  and yes, i’m fucking bitter. bite me. reblogging for this. because it’s the truth. but “we’re all the same”, right? Sad thing is, for most of these kids, it’s just bragging points. The ability to say they were arrested once in their lives. It’s not going to affect their ability to get a job or get opportunities like it affects the black and brown people targeted everyday. They get to go through the system without having the face any of the same horrors and think its so bad but also that it’s kind of cool and something they secretly always wanted to experience to have some sort of “street” cred since they know nothing about street shit but find it fascinating. Commentary. I hate to make historical comparisons, but people have already done it. These teenagers are similar to the anti-war protestors of the 60s and 70s. They will get arrested and think its cool for awhile. They’ll say the what they believe will never change, but chances are they will turn into their parents. They will then think back to the “good old days.”  So in 40 years, this girl will be leading the rebirth of the Tea Party and no one alive will remember Brisenia Flores. Can’t wait. Best. Commentary. Ever. Huge, huge problem. Protests, even if done by leftist or anarchist circles, are often divided by race. Whites do not face the same problems as black and brown brothers and sisters which often changes the different approaches to social change. I truly do believe that these problems are all epiphenomenons of capitalism, they are subsets, but we all have to realize this and realize that there are still different dynamics according to social differences, based on race, class, gender, and so on and so forth. great commentary, reblogging because of it.
