@ninaturner Absolutely true. And we should have a heart for all oppressed people, but I hope we don’t forget to center ourselves. We rush to the aid of everyone because of the cruelty we’ve endured in America. I just pray we don’t lose ourselves on this long road to justice.
@BreakingBrown Good points YB. I think it is a both/and. The Black American struggle has always been a liberation template for all oppressed people. I appreciate and respect the space you are occupying and for reminding Black people that no one will center us, but us!
