Still No Shame

I heard about a little BIPOC girl that cried yesterday because she was scared about the rise of the right-wing party here in Germany after the recent elections, and what it could mean, knowing these people’s history. Some of these people, especially these racist men, who constantly give you dirty looks and then quickly want to call the police at any sign of trouble, truly have no shame.

Hearing this story only angered me more than I already am. I will never forgive these people for all they have put me through in 13 years of living here. I wanted to start a Project to fight racism, but you see its almost 532 years of the same, and the arrogance of some of these people really bothers me. They show no shame. You tell them their history, and they will act like they don’t know, but reality is they could care less. There are several genocides going on at the moment, and people here seem more interested in their Euro Cup. 

For the people that are allies, for the good white people (The John Brown’s or Viola Liuzzo’s types) that do fight injustice and go to protests and wish to fight for a more equal and just world, please continue fighting! Please continue to listen to people that are dealing with racial traumas and are suffering, please and if needed be “That Shoulder” but please do not start the racial gaslighting because then you are only hurting the person even more. JUST LISTEN!
