Notes"If you are a white woman and you want to call yourself a feminist, you must acknowledge that your whiteness affords you a privilege that shields you from a lot. You must also acknowledge that you are afforded privileges that some men in this country do not have. Racism and sexism are tightly intertwined. You cannot fight one while ignoring the other."ladyatheist (via ellesugars)

Notes a l'allure garconniere: WHY “WHITE SUPREMACIST CAPITALIST PATRIARCHY?”BELL HOOKS: I began to use the phrase in my work “white supremacist capitalist patriarchy” because I wanted to have some language that would actually remind us continually of the interlocking systems of domination that define our reality and not to just have one thing be like, you know, gender…

Notes"We do not want a feminism that looks like a social worker behind a desk with concerned eyebrows. We want a feminism that stays up late at the kitchen table convincing us that we deserve better. We do not want a feminism that will put us up in a rundown state shelter for a short while until we’re ‘back on our feet.’ We want a feminism that will break back into our house we were just kicked out of and tell the landlord he’ll have hell to pay from a mob of angry bitches if he attempts eviction again."“Anarcha-Feminists Take to the Streets”, Dangerous Spaces (via the-red-planet)

Notes
Immigration officer: Why are you entering the States?
Me: I’m presenting my film at the “American Documentary Film Festival”.
Officer: What’s your film about?
Me: It’s about the Croatian student movement.
Officer: So what are the students doing in Croatia?
Me: They’re fighting against the commercialization of education.
Officer: And how do they exactly plan to de-commercialize it?
Me: They occupied their faculty building.
Officer: I’m glad to hear that stupidity never dies.
Me: But you had huge student protests here in the sixties.
Officer: And what good did that do? Every man has the right to choose how to spend his money. Someone’s got to pay for other people’s education.
Me: The students want the taxpayers to pay for it. Education is a human right.
Officer: No it’s not. There’ll always be people who’ll want to choose how they want their money to be spent. If someone takes my money, it’s called robbery, and I’m allowed to shoot him. Welcome to the United States.

Notes"Love is about being free and respecting each other’s freedom. Loving you, I love your wings and respect that you’re on a journey. I will try to see you deeply, show up for you, and treasure the time we share. I know that someday you may need to fly out of my sight, and if you do, I may cry, but I will not be lost. I will try to trust that you are where you belong."Yumi Tomsha (via etiquette-etc)

Notes"White people who claim to be ‘color-blind’ only reinforce racism and white privilege by refusing to acknowledge how the system benefits them while discriminating and oppressing against racial minorities. It’s easy to disregard the racial construct of whiteness when you yourself are white and able to pretend like we live in a ‘post-racial’ society. Racism is still a prevalent issue, so what good is suppose to come by marginalizing it for your comfort? Think about about white folks. It’s far more beneficial for the racially oppressed if you’re aware of racial inequality than blind to it."(via anarcho-queer)
