another banger from the same chapter
A lot of people confuse accountability with revenge. But accountability and revenge cannot coexist. Accountability is a relationship. It requires healing -- healing of the people harmed and healing of the relationship between those who committed harm and those who have been harmed. It requires healing of the community that enabled harm. Yet our system has deliberately confused the two. We call revenge and punishment accountability, and we have no tools for actual accountability.

i picked up a copy of #IjeomaOluo's #BeARevolution today and thought this quote was realy good
When giving talks or interviews, I'm often presented with a variation of the same question:
- Is this is a feminist issue?
- Is this a racial issue?
- What about class?
All of these questions are asking the same thing: "What box can I fit this oppression into?"
[...] But oppression doesn't fit neatly into boxes. And if you think it does, that's likely your privilege talking. Privilege is meant to be invisible to those who have it. Often when systems that are difficult or oppressive for others seem to be working just fine for us, they are working for us because they were designed for us - at the expense of others. Privilege is also relative. That means that one aspect of our identity may be oppressed by a particular system, while another aspect may give us privilege over others, and we may fail to recognize the different ways in which the same system can be harming others.

Racismo cotidiano, microagresiones y fragilidad blanca
Deseaba tanto que fuera un malentendido. Deseaba tanto que tal vez, simplemente, no supiera lo nocivo que es el racismo cotidiano, y que, una vez que lo supiera, cambiara de opinión. Intenté explicarle el peligro real del racismo desenfrenado y las microagresiones a las personas de color. Pero no estaba dispuesto a escucharme.
Smitha 🌸🌋🎻Ohhh man, I kind of want to go to this without even knowing what the book is about, just because I love her writing and general outlook and philosophy. I used to follow her on Twitter, and I didn't realize she's Seattle-based!
Anyone else want to join? I found out about it via a Meetup event.

this quote mirrors a line of thought from #IjeomaOluo 's So You Want To Talk About Race:
"Build a tolerance for discomfort. You must get used to being uncomfortable and get used to this not being about your feelings if you plan to help and not hinder people of color in their efforts for racial justice."

@chirpbirb I know I for one really appreciate how #IjeomaOluo makes it clear that sometimes you're gonna mess up with talking about this stuff and you might hurt someone's feelings, but it's better to talk about it and learn than to pretend that #race doesn't matter. Like, in a perfect egalitarian world it wouldn't matter very much, but, sadly we live in a capitalist hellscape that's been heavily shaped by #colonialism and white supremacy. 
"Because our desire to not talk about race also causes us to ignore race in areas where lack of racial consideration can have real detrimental effects on the lives of others—say, in school boards, community programs, and local government. And while it may seem that people of color always need to “put race in everything,” it’s the neglect of the specific needs of people of color, which exist whether you acknowledge them or not, that necessitate it in the first place."
