@zhivi @BlackMastodon unfortunately the figure itself is not consistent.

It talks about a lack of #intersectionality at the top, but #anti-racism by default and definition is not #intersectional.

Apologies for possibly posting this again, but to work at an intersectional level we need to triage like a hospital, based on the degree of difficulty that individuals face.

Just my opinion...

@rowlandm @zhivi @BlackMastodon on what basis are "women generally" slightly more needing of...support? than those of colonized nations? Am I reading the chart incorrectly?

I agree that the initial graphic is missing the mark. In practice the items under each heading are mixed and matched with no improvement such that they are ime both meaningless.

Are there examples of this type of "anti-racism" work meeting its goals in an enduring way?

@1P1P1D @zhivi @BlackMastodon Good question. I say no. MLK in the 60s had a lot of influence, but then we still had to have #GeorgeFloyd murdered in video and the #BLM movement? So have we gone forward or not? Difficult to say.

@rowlandm @BlackMastodon @1P1P1D I attended a workshop where the said it took 400+ years to get to this point. We don't know what the outcome is gonna be. It might take another 400 years to get to true equality and inclusion in the US. We all want to see it happen out time, I just don't think that is gonna happen. Just need to keep fighting and not give up. It's frustrating to say the least.

@zhivi @BlackMastodon @1P1P1D Absolutely!

The key is to recognise that this is not a personal failure if I cannot change a system or a person.

I have to keep trying, wherever I can, in a way that is sustainable for me.

@1P1P1D @rowlandm knowledge, growth, dialog, and sharing are important.

@1P1P1D @BlackMastodon @rowlandm thanks for continuing the dialog.

@rowlandm @BlackMastodon the you for your suggestion.
