The folks who are hating on #immigrants - #refugees - #AsylumSeekers - are #BrainwashedBigots who were poorly educated. I'm talking about your neighbours - not full out fascists. I'm talking about folks who became bigots due to poor education, listening to whitewashed BS/outright lies about BIPOC people & our communities. I'm talking about folks who are scared of BIPOC empowerment because they think we'll be as evil/cruel to them, as they were/are towards us, our families, our friends & #POCcommunity.

What we, BIPOC folks, need is for all of you who are not BIPOC to raise roofs with how much ruckus you're willing to make, as comrades for overdue justice. We need you to get offline & fight for us/help protect us, on frontlines. We need you to stop being fucking polite & start screaming as loud or louder than many of us BIPOC activists have been, for decades.

We don't need more accolades or compliments on how we're doing a good job(it's duty to many of us POC veteran activists). We need more white privileged folks to rise up, fight against the system & not be fucking kind/civil towards fascist wankerbutternoodles.

"Don't criticize your #elders. You must always respect them."

I've been preached that BS by different people in my extended family & also by people outside my family. People who tried guilt tripping me into compliance. People who protect abusive elders & not the victims.

I won't ever be guilt tripped into violating my core values - by anyone.

I'm very respectful of most elders. I am not that respectful towards elders who are abusive, use their seniority to get away with abuses, have committed serious crimes which resulted in innocent people being harmed & have zero remorse. I've never believed that all elders are deserving of equal respect from others. Elders are fallible human beings too. I will respect elders who don't hurt others for their own gains. I don't have much tolerance for repeat, unrepentant abusers of any age or background.

All three of us have faced multiple violent threats & assaults from RCMP. All three of us refused to bow down to any colonial corporate entities. All three of us lost loved ones to colonial violence. We are not built like some other women. We are women in active colonial resistance & it is a lifelong commitment. We do not have or will ever have white privileges. We respect our white comrades who have done heavy decolonization work a lot. We do not really respect anyone who always obeys any colonial masters & does not challenge them.
