Headlines for the history books.. After a major event like this I think it’s important for I and my fellow white people to turn inward and do some deep self reflection. This does not happen in a vacuum, the insurrection at the capitol last night nor the presidency that encouraged it. While the group that did this may be labeled as fringe, they were still granted privileges by a system of white supremacy that enabled them to violently raid a government building and walk awa...y mostly unscathed, in comparison to the massive force that came down upon the protests calling for the protection of Black lives that occurred throughout the summer. And this system of white supremacy is the same one that many of us here benefit from, the same one that gives us safety in our white skin and security in our standing. And it’s the same one that makes Croton a town with more Black Lives Matter lawn signs than there are Black people living here. We cannot pick and choose the parts of this corrupt system that serve us while turning away from the uglier bits, because so long as we are benefiting within this structure there are other people being harmed. I’m not claiming to know the answers, but I do commit myself to doing the work, and to creating spaces for these important conversations to take place on a local level. There is a lot of work that needs to be done within Croton and within ourselves and I think it’s time to step up our efforts. So please take some time to reflect on how you are served by this system of white supremacy, and how you then can disrupt it. And then come say hi, because we love you, and community is what gives us all strength to do this work See more
