We should stop acting obtuse about why people are so unbothered by the death of brown people
We knew why when Ukrainian reports said “this doesn’t happen to people like us” when Russia was attacking them
We knew why when the media portrayed the Middle East as war torn and undeveloped, and middle easterners as thieves and terrorists.
We knew when the United States felt it necessary to invade Lebanon and Iraq and kill their people in the name of “preservation”
In their eyes, war and death are not only reserved, but expected for a specific kind of people
THIS PART!!! This is not a war between two countries armies, this is one country with all of the power and control and the backing of the world powers vs a people just trying to survive. This is a military vs children, moms and dads, hospital patients, grandmas. This is GENOCIDE
