This episode is tinged with some frustration. The self reflection it takes to do this work is being bypassed. It is being bypassed by white folks and BIPOC alike. White supremacy is something we all have to put down so that we can pick up Anti Racism understanding. Please take a listen and let me know what you think about your relationship to white supremacy. 

Vanessa Fuller on FB for Black performing artists for this years Juneteenth celebration in Eugene.

Federal segregation is back, but we aren’t back in the day anymore. We know what to do, we’ve been here before, and now it is time for our white bodied friends and family to show up with what they have learned. It is up to you what you choose to do now.

We’ve all seen the meeting between Zelenskyy and 45/47 by now. Their respective behaviors in that meeting were telling about their relationship to their humanity. We have to recognize how much of our responses are tied to our relationship with oppression at the level of our personal identities. We must operate from our humanity to deal with the current moment and imminent future.

We’re a month into this new reality and it is time to talk about hope. The importance of hope, the importance of joy. The hope that we can come together and grow our community with joy in the face of these wild new challenges. The time to think about it has passed, now is the time to get it together and join with each other in solidarity. 

Correction: the town hall incident discussed was in Idaho, not Utah.

Let’s talk about the halftime show! This performance was a conversation among Black people, and the reactions of white folks analyzing it are telling. The disconnect of your understanding is a problem.

On the eve of change in the US, we are looking at what has come before and what is coming next for our freedoms, rights, and communities. From TikTok bans to RealIDs, we need to reckon with how we got here, the people and behaviors we tolerate as a community, and the truth of who is on our side and who isn’t. Who is your community, truly? There is no more time for convincing.
