Stephen Satterfield Instagram – How old were you when you learned the lie that Palestine was a bad word? What about Arab? We are so bad at navigating stories. The prevailing power is the orator and too often this is absent in our analysis even though we know this to be true. Who is missing from the tale should captivate us equally. Who is not included is a good clue about who has been looted. Colonization, gentrification, apartheid and occupation: the formation of your state causing displacement. Who will hear history without obstruction? None of us if we don’t speak up.
Black male American
I recognize the rhetoric
Of unconditional support
For the troops
For the boys in blue
When mother and child are murdered in their own beds
Abetted by State-led raids
and the perpetrators get away
Our freedom is connected
USA provides the weapons
RIP Breonna Taylor
The right to self defense while also occupying
is an inherent equivocation
Racists wreak havoc wherever they are
The occupation is the problem
The rest of us must unite against what is brutal
US weapons used to kill civilians
Dispossession is the precursor to resistance
I lift a fist in solidarity
Know justice, know peace
