black murder

Eyes Wide Open

May 31, 2020 by gracefulfitness Leave a Comment

I do not know what to say. I am terrified of saying the wrong thing.

And silence is equal to complicity.

Complicity feeds injustice and inequality.

Complicity kills.

I pledge to examine my own complicit actions and thoughts, to challenge them, to learn from them, to grow from them, and to change them into action towards equality.

I can only come to this, today and always, from my privileged whiteness, from my heart, from my history.

I pledge to examine my own racist actions and thought, to challenge them, to learn from them, to grow from them, and to take action against them.

This isn’t about me but I have to start with me.

This isn’t about you but it you have to start with you.

the universe is one living

breathing, pulsing organism

and humanity exits inside of it.

if your self-love does not ever

also call you to community-love,

then perhaps what you have

found is not self-love

but a form of self-hatred.
