because that’s not really fucking true at all. they should be honest and tell you: “well, your dreams won’t always come true and sometimes you have to work a way outside the system to make your dreams come true, and if your dreams don’t come true, it does NOT make you a failure.”

Who is to say that robbing a people of its language is less violent than war?

Just finished reading “Borderlands/La Frontera” by Gloria Anzaldúa and found this quote to be very intriguing. It’s such a shame how people were stripped of their culture, their rituals and most importantly their language.
However, I really liked this book & the way it was written.
I would recommend it for anyone interested in the Spanish language, feminist themes or Chicano studies.

When a Vietnamese family is driven out of its home in a project by African-American youth, that is white supremacy. When a Korean store owner shoots an African-American teenager in the back of the head, that is white supremacy. When 33 percent of Latinos agree with the statement, ‘Even if given a chance, [African Americans] aren’t capable of getting ahead,’ that is white supremacy.
