Children were tear-gassed in Ferguson. Baltimore too. A young woman had her arm nearly blown off by a concussion grenade at Standing Rock. Children were bombed at a church in Alabama in the 1960s. They were also hosed down by hoses w/ enough power to strip bark off trees.

Kids died on a genocidal walk from the South to the West in the 1830s. Kids were placed in schools designed by missionaries to violently assimilate them. Kids were stolen from their parents in colonial America & sold as property. And kids were also fed to alligators for shiggles.

Some of this was state-sanctioned violence. Some of this was White supremacist violence. Both are synonymous. As in, it is the same fucking thing.

So. Shut the fuck up about this NOT being the ~America~ that you’re used to. Shove your shock up your ass. And start being more honest about the fact that this IS the America that you’ve been too up your own ass to notice.

Thank you! And I should say that's a summary of the Black Panthers' political analysis, so I shouldn't take credit for it. Robyn Spencer has a great blog post on the Panthers and Black anti-fascism here, if anyone's interested.https://dukeupress.wordpress.com/2017/01/26/the-black-panther-party-and-black-anti-fascism-in-the-united-states/ …
