      Lots of thoughts stirring in my mind that last few days about "terrorism" and "gun control." Scare quotes because... well, because scary.

      When we insist on calling certain acts "terrorism," I'm not always sure what we, as people of color, want to satisfy. It's a troubling word.

      By calling certain acts terrorism, I think we might unwittingly be calling for increased surveillance and state violence.

          I know many people I respect insisted on calling the Charleston massacre an act of terrorism. But, again, not sure folks thought it through.

          I'm similarly cautious of what the renewed conversation about gun control means. Because we know that enforcement isn't applied equally.

          We want increased background checks. Right. You know whose backgrounds are already more checked, right?

          We want the state to more easily check who has certain weapons. As if the state doesn't already suspect certain people have more weapons.

          "Guns are out of control let's make police check everyone to be sure!" Everyone means black and brown people. It's called stop and frisk.

          "We wannna make sure anyone with a criminal conviction can't get a gun!" Umm black and brown folks are disproportionately convicted.

          I think the way we're having these conversations about "terrorism" and "gun control" are dangerous, because they're largely devoid of race.

          I think we're demanding certain things with the right intention—but those demands may yield increased state violence on our communities.

          @aurabogado @tamaranopper It is wise to think before you shout.
