Its not new and its STILL not ok!‼️‼️

I think there is a huge disconnect on what this place is. In the USA we displaced so many people, removed people from their homes and claimed its for “protection”

Indiginous people of Turtle Island

Enslaved people from the African-diaspora

Japanese people during WWII

Mass incarceration of people from many countries. Its time to remember we are a country built on the literally backs of people. #history #unfiltered #blackgirllemon8 #notfreeuntilweareallfree

2025/7/12 Edited to

... Read moreThe history of displacement and trauma experienced by marginalized communities in the United States is complex and multifaceted. The term 'Turtle Island' is a reference to the Indigenous lands that were taken and the people removed from their homes under the guise of safety and progress. In recent discussions, we see parallels drawn between historical injustices, such as the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II and the systemic racism faced by African Americans throughout history, including mass incarceration today. It is vital to recognize these events not just as historical footnotes but as integral parts of a narrative that shapes our national identity. In contemporary times, the fight against the establishment of migrant detention centers on Indigenous lands is a stark reminder of how history can repeat itself. Native tribes and activists have come together to oppose these measures, advocating for the rights of people and land that have suffered repeated erasure. The push for acknowledgment and restitution continues, challenging society to confront uncomfortable truths about its past and the legacies that endure. Moreover, movements like #notfreeuntilweareallfree advocate for a collective liberation that emphasizes the interconnectedness of struggles across various communities. By highlighting these issues, we can foster a deeper understanding of the historical and ongoing impacts of displacement and oppression, igniting a dialogue that seeks justice and recognition for all affected groups. Recognizing the weight of these histories is essential for community healing and progress toward a future where all voices are valued and heard.

You do not need to know and understand all things intellectually to appreciate and respect them. You not understanding another persons goals does not make the goal or the person less worthy. It’s also good to remember not everyone needs to know the details of your goals. Don’t give them the chance
