Example
Let me give you an example here:
I have a friend named Jan. She is a recovering Catholic nun, has been in recovery for many years now. For years she makes frequent visits to her friends on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Before she goes, she takes up a collection, usually of clothes, and takes them to the folks there.
Now mind you, the conditions of life on the Pine Ridge Rez are some of the most HORRIFIC in the U.S. It is not because they won't pull themselves up from their bootstraps, as white folks are so fond of telling them, it is because the U.S. government keeps their boot on the neck of their economy and strongly encourage corruption through the U.S. forced tribal governments. People are starving at the end of every month on that rez.
The White Plumes tried to start a hemp plantation, legal on the rez. However, whitey decided that would get them too close to economic independence and came in and destroyed it via their state sanctioned terrorist arm known as the FBI.
How about making a "political statement" about the U.S. government getting the fuck off of our land and letting us be? How about speaking out about the illegal deportations of darkies to the south, while the whities from the north don't get the privilege of being deported in mass quantities. How come the laws apply differently to whites than darkies from the south?
We need your fucking help, whitey. Don't pretend your making a political statement riding around naked on a bike. Make a political statement by getting out their and pushing the U.S. government off our lands.
And there is so much more that needs doing. So much more. Riding naked on a bike, being vegan, etc., isn't helping fucking shit. We need you OUT THERE helping. Raising your hands and voices. Taking action. REAL action.
Feh! Why am I wasting my time?
