If you are white, it is your job to get out of the way of BIPOC and All Marginalized Liberation, while Empowering and supporting their Return to their Land and Sovereignty by backing them up with your listening and your giving.
You can no longer pretend you are not racist.
You can no longer pretend you are not bigoted.
You can no longer pretend you are not discriminatory.
You can no longer pretend you can do this on your own.
We must all be here to help and empower one another to be the true warriors, the stewards, we all are.
To those that this washes over without drinking of me, you can keep paying the Phee until M'sit No'kama, All My Relations, are Free.
To the white folks: For over 20 years across the Western Hemisphere, I’ve taught while racialized/racially perceived as a white person while using that white-perceived space to study and dismantle bigotry, centering on racism such as anti-puoinaq/anti-Two-Spirit and anti-Indigenous, anti-Black, anti-Trans, anti-Queer, anti-Semitic, anti-Muslim, anti-Poor sentiments.
This is in addition to using my passing to do the same in companies, businesses, governmental hubs, poly and swinger communities, and more, for longer.
Much of this was done at a time, and is still done, in ways that are completely legal but can not only get me and those I care about killed, but has been the reason so many I have known and loved are either dead now, or gone in other equally horrifying ways. Why I have the level of physical and other damages that I am still healing from.
That’s not even a tip of the snow and ghosts of colonialism iceberg.
Thankfully we’ve got ancestors that can remember surviving countless ice ages, or this might have felt beyond our means.
I still do this because bigotry is still thick in every white, light skinned/"white passing", and mixed spaces I've been in, cuz.
Every. White Space.
Single. Group. Social. Casual. Business. Last decade. Last week. Yesterday. Ten minutes ago. Now.
So.
It is not about you, but how you empower others and yourself together.
It becomes about you and me after you prove, repeatedly, continually, and forever how you empower others and yourself, together.
Honest Mistakes
Show Where
Ignorance Honestly Lies
Many of those mistakes in bigotry are not harmless, and are formed by systems that use that ruse of honest mistakes to oppress folks unto death, from colonization to now.
Still.
To this day.
I’d rather honestly spend my time in the presence of those also doing this good life work of giving Land Back, empowering Black Liberation, Freeing All Relations.

This article is a WIP that started before the Powhatan (“Virginia”) walkouts in 2022, a continuation pieces spanning more than 22 years that agentSKYHOUSE has written about the complete lack of safety for BIPOC, 2SIT*BLAQG+ / LGBTQIA+, Diffabled, and so many Relations, focusing on the lip service given by white supremacists hiding behind “liberal” queer labels that enable violence and murder.
Standing in the background and processing the amount I do daily, instead of immediately responding like oppression trained me, remains incredibly freeing.
Meskeyi if I take a bit, but I'm worth it ✌🏼
