We are all
educated to accept the status quo. Does the status quo benefit 100% of “We the
People”? The answer is in the protesting happening all over the world after
George Floyd’s assassination.
James Baldwin
talked about institutionalized racism in the United States (US) in 1965. I
believe that the essence of his speech was to enlighten us about the necessity of
decolonizing our minds from western European knowledge purported to be the
universal truth. Click on the following link to hear James’ speech: https://youtu.be/Vbj0oZYucKs
If we don’t
decolonize our knowledge, we will inevitably continue to propagate the same status
quo that we pretend to want to revolutionize. Even if we were to have a Black
president, as we did, and he doesn’t lead the country to decolonize knowledge, as
he did not, he would have kept the same racial inequality that has historically
existed in the US, which he did!
While Obama
was president, the USG continued to violate the United Nations’ (UN) Charter that
prohibits colonialism since 1945. While Obama was president, the USG continued
to ignore 38 UN resolutions asking it to immediately return Puerto Rico’s
sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. http://webtv.un.org/watch/5th-meeting-committee-of-24-special-committee-on-decolonization/6051725003001/
In order to
eradicate institutionalized racism, we must decolonized our minds from the
racist education that we had been taught since birth. When we have detoxified
our minds from that, we could then organize ourselves to permanently eliminate the
USG’s institutionalized racism.
We need
solidarity to accomplish this, because those who have adulterated knowledge to exploit us forever
have never wanted LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! www.TodosUnidosDescolonizarPR.blogspot.com
To ensure
getting the job done correctly!
