Is the World Cruel or is it just White?
Will it ever change?
How is changed defined?
Who gets to decide?
Greater good or creating change---are they real or some veiled gospel of prosperity that’s mostly self interested and leaves us, the “change makers” at the center of it?

Non profits—origin of non profits, where did they come from? Why do we need them? A way to pacify activists and neutralize grassroots movements and embed them into the same oppressive institutions they were formed to absolve?
Are we a less radical generation than before us? Do we just have more words to describe fucked up shit?
Maybe we just gotta call shit what it is, be clear and explicit by what we mean dismantle white supremacy
Join us in our attempt to make sense of the swirl.
