I'm done being white...

I'm so inspired after listening to Lizzy Jeff's workshop that I wrote this.

'White Culture' is colonist culture. It sees something it likes and it wants it for itself. To own. To compare oneself to life experience. To keep for oneself. To use for one's own gain at the expense of others. To know one will do harm, and do it anyways for personal gain.

It's the culture that established sex/drug trafficking, big pharm, and the prison industrial system.

It's the slaveowners' kids still fucking around.

It lives in me. It lives in us.

I decend from the Blile Family of Kentucky.
They grew tobacco and hemp and indentured over 30 people.

I still have rich family in Missouri who inherited that wealth off the unpaid labor of skilled Africans.

No one ever spoke of it.

They swept it all under the rug as they enjoyed the native land they occupy without asking permission.

And as I write this, I enjoy the Cowlitz land I occupy without permission, somehow thinking I'm 'different' or 'exempt' because of my priviledge to belong to landowning white families.

And it's sad because a lot of people who claim to be 'woke' and 'revolutionary' are still approaching the world through this 'white' cultural lense.

It's underlying and insidious.

It comes in the form of cultural vulturism and addiction/mental health :

'
Oh hey, there's someone with some original trendsetting genius.
I think I'll do the same thing, hide the source, and take the credit.

That'll make my little white ego feel amazing.
That'll make me feel superior again, when inside i feel so inferior.

And do you know where that comes from?
The whole idea that power has to be over or under.

That one person 'owns' anything while others are subject to their will and whim.

That there's even 'whiteness' to begin with, considering technically I'm peach and brown and covered in freckles.

Yeah. I'm done being white.
Or rather I'm calling for the deep ancestral healing of this colonizer way of thinking .

So that we can wake up and learn to respect one another and ourselves, and do the real work.

IN SPANISH

Estoy tan inspirado después de escuchar el taller de Lizzy Jeff que he escrito esto.

La 'cultura blanca' es la cultura del colono. Ve algo que le gusta y lo quiere para sí. Para poseer. Para compararse con la experiencia vital. Para quedárselo. Utilizarlo en beneficio propio a expensas de los demás. Para saber que uno hará daño, y hacerlo de todos modos para beneficio personal.

Es la cultura que estableció el tráfico sexual y de drogas, las grandes farmacéuticas y el sistema industrial penitenciario.

Son los hijos de los esclavistas que siguen jodiendo por ahí.

Vive en mí. Vive en nosotros.

Desciendo de la familia Blile de Kentucky.
Cultivaban tabaco y cáñamo y contrataron a más de 30 personas.

Todavía tengo familia rica en Missouri que heredó esa riqueza del trabajo no remunerado de africanos cualificados.

Nadie habló nunca de ello.

Lo escondieron todo bajo la alfombra mientras disfrutaban de la tierra nativa que ocupaban sin pedir permiso.

Y mientras escribo esto, yo disfruto de la tierra Cowlitz que ocupo sin permiso, pensando de alguna manera que soy "diferente" o estoy "exento" por mi privilegio de pertenecer a familias blancas terratenientes.

Y es triste porque mucha gente que se proclama "despierta" y "revolucionaria" sigue enfocando el mundo a través de este prisma cultural "blanco".

Es subyacente e insidioso.

Se presenta en forma de vulturismo cultural y adicción/salud mental :

Hola, hay alguien con un genio original que marca tendencias.
Creo que voy a hacer lo mismo, ocultar la fuente y llevarme el mérito.

Indeed, white is nothing but evil, stole everything, created nothing.

It's the culture that established sex/drug trafficking

You mean like the African slave trade that was responsible for millions of slaves.

Research suggests that white slavery was much more common in North Africa from the 16th to 18th centuries. It is estimated that between 1 million and 1.25 million European Christians were captured and forced to work in North Africa from the 16th to 18th centuries.0 The Barbary corsairs enslaved up to 1.25 million Europeans, known as the white slaves of Barbary, and their lives were just as pitiful as their African counterparts.1 The Ottoman Empire enslaved millions of Europeans, and slavery was so common in ancient Britain that the Anglo-Saxon word for ‘Briton’ was used interchangeably for ‘slave.’ A fifth of the United States government’s 1797 budget was paid in tribute to North African Muslim nations to free and stop enslaving Americans.3 In 1554, corsairs under Dragut sacked Vieste, beheaded 5,000 of its inhabitants, and abducted another 6,000. The Balearic Islands were invaded in 1558, and 4,000 people were taken into slavery. In 1618, the Algerian pirates attacked the Canary Islands, taking 1000 captives to be sold as slaves.2

That history:

White Slavery
After the cessation of the African slave trade, “white slavery” came into light. A general definition of white slavery would be the “procurement—by use of force, deceit, or drugs—of a white woman or girl against her will for prostitution.” The African slave trade was a fitting starting point for the case against white slavery.

As white slavery gained attention, governments began to cooperate to fight it. In 1899 and then in 1902, international conferences against white slavery were organized in Paris. In 1904, the International Agreement for the Suppression of “White Slave Traffic,” the first international agreement on human trafficking, was signed. The main purpose was to ensure the repatriation of the victims. The criminalization of white slavery did not occur until the signing of the International Convention for the Suppression of the White Slave Trade in 1910.

Like you respect your ancestors. Kill yourself, literally, then you'll do the real work of earning my respect.
