   “Virtually every institution seized upon that term, ‘diversity.’ And I always ask, ‘Well, where is justice here?’ Are you simply going to ask those who have been marginalized or subjugated to come inside of the institution and participate in the same process that led precisely to their marginalization? Diversity and inclusion without substantive change, without radical change, accomplishes nothing.”

     “‘Justice’ is the key word. How do we begin to transform the institutions themselves? How do we change this society? We don’t want to be participants in the exploitation of capitalism. We don’t want to be participants in the marginalization of immigrants. And so there has to be a way to think about the connection among all of these issues and how we can begin to imagine a very different kind of society.”

     @henry79 I’ve been quoting her for ages. And you can go fuck yourself with those “accusations.”

     How about you accuse me of racism once US citizens of all skin tones stop bombing the fuck out of countries in the corner of the world I was born in? I’ve had it up to here with fucking clueless Americans accusing me of shit when they hardly understand there’s a whole world out there that’s isn’t the US. (Maybe they would if they stopped long enough to stop bombing them to hell.)

     Seriously, fuck off

     Seriously Aral, you’ve only yesterday been accused of minimising BIPoC concerns, and now you’re quoting Angela Davis?

     Angela Davis was/is one of my heroes.
