Yeah, weps, but.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
My Portugal, do you live the police?

Speaker 3 (00:16):
People keep saying that he is have protests for peaceful
but that's some kind of surprise.

Speaker 4 (00:21):
But if you're right with me, you need to think
about what actually made that possible. White people, you really
need to sit with that. The protests were peaceful because
we were the ones in the streets. Black, brown, indigenous
folks stayed home, not because they.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Don't care, but for two reasons. When it's not see
for them to show up. Two, it's not their problem
to fix. We've all seen what happens when marginalized people
show up in good numbers. Suddenly it's two gas, rubber bullets, arrest,
and just straight up violence. So, yeah, the protests were peaceful,

(01:00):
but it wasn't because the system listed better. It's because
whiteness made it safe for us to show up. And
while we're naming things, let's be real.

Speaker 5 (01:10):
White people put forty five in office, not black votors,
not brown votors, not indigenous voters.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
Us we built this system, we keep it running, and
too many white folks are still playing to it out
of comfort, by out or if you're giving a power.
So if you're white and feeling proud that the protests
were peaceful, cool, But ask yourself, what are you doing
with that safety your skin gives you. Are you showing

(01:38):
up when it matters most or just when it's comfortable,
Because this fight, this is our fight, not just in
solidarity but an accountability. Forty five is a white problem.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
The system is a white problem, and it's on us
to dismantle it.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
This podcasting say I have been with the Bakwaster and
you forgetten. I'm a right day
