I don’t know if I could ever explain this image to someone in real life without scaring them away

I assume it’s relatively more or less the same everywhere but in my city, it is COMPLETELY 10000% controlled by Real Estate and investing.

WHERE IS THIS ACTUALLY EXISTING SOCIALISM THAT THESE TANKIES KEEP TALKING ABOUT???

Thank you for the kind words! Yeah, I have a similar situation and feeling with Native American identity. My maternal grandmother and family is very much tied to it, way more than I am! You’re also absolutely correct that I shouldn’t refer to my ancestors as slaves. You’ve actually inspired me to find out more about them to honor them!

Also just be clear im not posting this because of some “settler retribution” shit. Colonizers deserve everything that they beg for through actions.

My great grandmother was black. Both of her parents were slaves.

 

To preface this, I believe I’m white facing, but I honestly have no idea to parse this. To preface this, I’m American. On my mom’s side of the family, my great grandfather was Chinese and my great grandmother was the children of people who were slaves. This is the extend of my geneologic knowledge.

I essentially have no knowledge of my family. As a result, when I tell people that my family is from China or from slave lineage, I got called slurs as a child, even as a white person. I constantly had to balance my privileged existence as a white-existing person with the reality of a predominantly large portion of my family. Im not trying to propose any unique “multiracial” experience that exists outside of the bounds of race. I’m just simply asking if anyone has experienced the same? Im sorry if this is wreckerjacketed unintentionally, it’s just something I cannot talk about with libs. I ask this somewhat assuredly, knowing that someone has experienced this

I think it’s a a self report whenever you have these discussions and white people assume that indigenous groups will be as genocidal as they were

I always thought it was weird but funny that sneaker heads would be aghast that you dare wear the shoes you bought, or at least use them for you know, normal shoe situations which is everything.

Don’t get me wrong, I have like at least 6 different pairs of shoes, I am not immune to sneaker propaganda, but at least I USE them rather than speculate with them.
