do your own research
doesn't mean
finding some group
or self-styled expert
who convinces you
they think like you do;
it means finding
experts that not so much
agree with you as
make sense and are backed
by the general
understandings of the field
and other experts
who can clearly explain
the principles and
procedures involved, and
learning what you
can about the subject matter
so you can have an
informed opinion.
people who believe
it important to be
not humans but some
label we are
conditioned to love
or hate use this myth
of race created by
people who were horrified
by their own
behaviors against others to give
an excuse. The myth
has seemed useful since
to continue such
divisive excusing of
horrendous
behavior.
There seem to be too
many people who
regard themselves as
arbiters of the social
morality with no
qualifications other than
their own boredom
and self appointment.
Of the wrong
dimensions
to fit into
normative reality --
perhaps theirs ought
to be
expanded.
You can’t
legitimately call the wealth
yours when it was
created by exploited
employees, mutated
slavery.
It’s not about gay
or straight or gender queer.
It’s about who
attracts so you’re obsessed
with need to feel
completely.
Labels distract from
the real, distance from
our yearning for
connection, subtract from
how happy we could
be.
I am not as good as,
better than, less than,
anyone, because I
have no idea what the
criteria
are.
AntiRacism by
denying the evil myth called “race”
Calling people out
for some angry “ist”
which encompasses a
vast array of
possible behaviors?
Call people out for
their actual
horrendous actions,
unacceptable from
any.
I get it. We each
have our salient issues.
I respect
that.
I have issues of my
own.
