#redlivesmatter

Wieviele von unseren Mittelschicht-Hipstern und verwandten Milieus hätten wohl demonstriert, wenn es um Sinti und Roma gegangen wäre? #romanilivesmatter

Ich kann das heuchlerische Pack hierzulande nicht mehr hören und sehen. Dazu schreibt Truthdig: „What would the Black Panthers think of Black Lives Matter?“

„Denouncing “hetero-patriarchy,” Garza described the adaptation of her clever online catchphrase (“black lives matter”) by others—“brown lives matter, migrant lives matter, women’s lives matter, and on and on” (Garza’s dismissive words)—as “the Theft of Black Queer Women’s Work.”

“Perhaps,” she added, “if we were the charismatic Black men many are rallying around these days, it would have been a different story.”

From a leftist perspective, this struck me as alarming. Why the prickly, hyperidentity-politicized and proprietary attachment to the “lives matter” phrase?“

Full ack. Vorsicht, die Lektüre könnte die GutmenschInnen in Deutschland verunsichern!
