Basila Mike : "YOU MIGHT BE AN ANARCHIST YOU ARE STILL WHITE AND CIS: Many white cis anarchist failed to realize that they still can afford to default to their white privileged to offset systemic violence. To imply that somehow anarchism garner your the agency to claim system repression parallels with marginalize communities of color of any gender, is bullshit. White anarchist using Charlottesville, StandingRock, Ferguson, Baltimore Uprising as your entry point to impose solidarity and comradeship unearned is repulsive. You need to check yourself, just because your there does not give yourself the agency to monopolize BBIPOC struggles to rationalize or contextualize our pain and struggles to center your voices or trauma. I donât give a fuck if you are from those area because your white colonizer anarchist ass is still a descendant and benefactors of the chattel slavery, and colonization and you have no claims on native lands.
While you can afford to speak of your action trauma for the whole world to see, that is not the case for many BBIPOC actively in direct contact with this systemic violence both in and out those rally spaces and still struggle to find exit point since chattel slavery and colonization. The fact you have a choice to insert yourself in these spaces to play chase the nazi, lacks the profound mindfulness that many of us have been resisting for means of survival not as a struggle tourism event. Iâm super tired of white anarchist claiming repression when you donât have a target it your back. Tell me how often your white ass is press down simply for your class+race+citizenship+gender+ability? Waiting......
Stop pretending that somehow you can relate because like white liberals with their sign once your done playing the catch the nazi monopoly, you can de-block back to white society flawlessly, while many of us continuously swim above this toxic water. So fuck your alleged struggles when you ACTIVELY failing to realize and center EVERY black, brown, and indigenous of any shade, and any gender's generational trauma and pain in any real way, fostered by a system that default shelters your white cis ass when you decide to be normy. Fuck you also when you start demanding, asking, passive implying that somehow we to have to pick up our bootstraps to level with your colonial whiteness because if you're talking about dismantling the system, how about climb down your high horse, stop marketing yourself as the antifa white knight. How about for once be with the people who claim you support, and stop tokenizing anyone of us so you can write yourself of as a intersectional comrade. To those white leftist, donât say you donât benefit from whiteness especially when shit get rough the first thing you do is you wave your white identity pass as your bargaining pass."
