I feel like I should be falling on my knees in front of
every Black person I see, and hug them, hugging them and keeping them safe no
matter what
Rage and anguish and angst – I ran into another white Jewish friend, more Jewish than me, she was raised Jewish, and older than me. She
talked about getting a machine gun and killing people. Boooy, I told her I would
join her.
But where to start? Who to kill? Who to eliminate? We agree,
that’s the problem.
How do you eliminate isms from inside people? How do you
prevent those ugly, racist, bigoted white men from passing on their hatred, their
meanness, their anti-humanness. And even if they didn’t pass it on, it’s
seeping out of every institution, it’s the ground of every institution that
they built in this country.
We know the individuals have to go and the institutions
have to go. But how? How to break them down without using the same methods as
they have used to break us down. The methods they’ve used to break us down have
been so successful but there HAS to be
another way – we just have to find it.
