Rooting for BIPOC in Ukraine is not weakening support and empathy towards white Ukrainians. Quite the opposite: if we ensure that the most marginalized can reach safety, then everyone will. It’s not a 0-sum-game: Black people’s safety doesn’t mean the absence of other's safety.

It's crucial to have #race listed as a discrimination category in the German constitution. That way we can not only fight against the more obvious racism - mostly on an individual level - but also the less visible institutional and structural racism. bit.ly/2Z2zAq6

Racism does not have to happen intentionally; it exists without a conscious effort to discriminate. Racial discrimination can happen quietly, unwittingly, however, that does not minimize the harm or impact certain words, actions, and mechanisms have. #race bit.ly/2Z2zAq6

ich liebe das Buch 'Why we matter' von Emilia Roig
schon deshalb, weil es geschafft es, woran so, so, so viele andere moderne feministische Büchern scheitern: Es gibt immer mal wieder Beispiele aus dem Leben von behinderten Menschen.

#Justice4Stanislav

Stanislav Tomas was a Roma man killed by police this year.

Police were quick to exonerate themselves from any wrongdoing before an independent investigation even took place.

We want justice for Stanislav.

We want to know: who protects us from the police?

Thank you for proving my point 😊

This is blowing completely out of proportion. This is what white fragility combined with gaslighting does. The violence of it proves exactly my initial point. So ironic.
