We must recognize that we can't solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power... this means a revolution of values and other things. We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together... -MLK jr

People with monochromia: am i a joke to you?

I did briefly misunderstand this meme as being so aggressively anti-ableist as to be pro-color-blindness. The internet has ruined me.

My bosses see color. They see the color of the person the holiday was based off of and use that as their decision for what holidays to axe.

I'm happy to have the Friday after Thanksgiving off too, but don't for second think I don't notice that it's Juneteenth and MLK day that we "gave up."

I’m sorry but only pre-approved, whitewashed, milquetoast quotes from radicals our government assassinated are allowed.

During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it.

It is my intention to suggest that Americans, including many historians, tend to accord race a transhistorical, almost metaphysical, status that removes it from all possibility of analysis and understanding. Ideologies, including those of race, can be properly analyzed only at a safe distance from their terrain. To assume, by intention or default: that race is a phenomenon outside history, is to take a position within the terrain of racialist ideology and to become its unknowing -and therefore uncontesting- victim.

I'm pretty sure he could see colour. Wasn't that why he had those glasses for?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He didn't really see like we see so even if there was color idk if he could see skin color.

Could be. Been a long time since I've read Dune.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's not Dune, it's star wars.
