Living or Existing?

[Trina]

As long as we nonwhite people are subject to the system of White Supremacy/Racism try to refer to our condition as existing and not living . Living, means to have power to be what you want, have what you want and have responsbility for yourself and to control your reality and the reality of others. You can effectively protect, defend and destroy anything that can cause harm to you or those who you consider kith and kin.


Existing means you are subject to others, you do what others tell you to do, you have what others allow you to have and you have either no power or very little power to define reality and live that reality and make others respond to it. You don't have the power or very little power to defend and protect yourself and others whom you would consider kith and kin. Nonwhite people exist we have yet to live.

Keep in mind I could be incorrect.
