"People get used to anything. The less you think about your opression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think opression is the normal state of things."-Assata Shakur #wokelisa
"So, transform yourself first… Because you are young and have dreams and want to do something meaningful, that in itself, makes you our future and our hope. Keep expanding your horizon, decolonize your mind, and cross borders."-Yuri Kochiyama #wokelisa#yurikochiyama
@ComradeDamo Essentially, dreads are currently prominent in afro carribean cultures, euro-americans appropriated those hair styles and don't face the same discrimination. If we lived in a pluralistic society I'd have no issue with other people wearing dreads, but unfortunately we don't.
@ComradeDamo There's plenty of racial violence to this day where black people have their dreads ripped/cut off their heads. The military has misogynoiristic policies thatprevent black women from having dreads, which forces them to adopt eurocentric hairstyles.
Too many white anarchists are defending this shit then try to deflect by saying the main issue is class not race. It's flat out disrespectful, especially coming from your supposed comrades.
