What I wish we were doing today is moving on from white supremacist policies that got us where we are now. We also have the chance to re-imagine everything. Referring back to the principles of white mostly slave-owning property owners is not exactly the path I imagine is useful.
Referring back to those principals is exactly what will allow us to do the things you say - and I agree - need to be done.

I cannot disagree with your belief in those principles. I suppose in quoting parts of the bible, torah or koran, we can also find aspects that resonate. In the spirit of Robin Wall Kimmerer, I hope for more of an ideology based on reciprocity and gratitude, a story of connection.

What you're saying sounds a lot like the reform argument. What reform does is appease white folks. What I'm talking about is
#AbolitionistTeaching. We need to see things in a wholly new way. That would give a huge lift to humanity and is antiracist by nature. Reform is not.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

It's like putting a fresh coat of paint over an old one. Or like trying to put a new pair of pants on while wearing the old ratty ones that we refuse to throw away.
