Them being your favourite artist does not absolve them of any harm they might have caused to other communities. They can art beautifully and still be violent. These two things are not mutually exclusive. #CancelCulture

[Goitseone Montsho @BlackGoitsy]

You can enjoy a favourite book, piece of music or whatever form of art without asking the people who the creator hurt to stay silent so you can enjoy said book, piece of music or whatever form of art. #CancelCulture

It is violent to ask marginalised communities to ignore the violence and 'hear out' violent people when we don't hold space for them when they are violated by said violent people. #CancelCulture

[Goitseone Montsho @BlackGoitsy]

So called 'cancel culture' is usually a response from marginalised communities to call us to action on noise they have been making about their experiences which is silenced by giving platforms to those who have been violent to said communities. #cancelculture

Tshiamo hears the songs of whispering winds, complaining plants and the grumbling earth . When her mother gifts her a Hyacinth plant it sends her tumbling into a world of song where she strengthens her powers of song while reckoning with Silences.

@mssakshinarula I believe in chances depending on the severity of violation of boundaries. I think people can change when they want to. Change is often selfish, I find most people only change when they stand to lose something invaluable by remaining the same.

The feels are deep with the 'intergenerational trauma of our loss...'

[edna bonhomme, phd @jacobinoire]

It is no accident that Black people are disproportionately likely to suffer from #covid19 b/c we are made to work in order to survive, we are rarely given proper care when we are ill, & when we perish, our kin bare the immediate, material, & intergenerational trauma of our loss.
