So last year I started having a weird prickly numbness in my left thigh. It would come and go, but when it was present, my skin felt prickly and irritated as if I had brushed against a nettle, and yet at the same time the area was numb.

I think the most profoundly necessary and unwanted thing that white people have to do - and especially white American Evangelicals - is to realize how much our whiteness has destroyed our common humanity and intimacy with others.

You know, I go through cycles (predictable but not foreseeable) of thinking *I am never going to learn this language!*
And then I take some time off, let my brain get things settled - and I have another level of fluency under my belt.
I learn nothing from this.

“Current theories on the emergence of the modern state rarely take note of the fact that this institution was born and consolidated thanks to the absorption of the almost immeasurable wealth extracted from the American colonies.” THE HAITIANS, Dr. Jean Casimir, quoting Quijano.

When I buy a ticket to ride the train, I am making an implicit agreement with the terms of the ride. Most of these are knowable by social experience - don't be rude, don't fight, don't soil the train, be careful of others, don't smoke.

What I'm reading: The Haitians: A Decolonial History by Jean Casimir.
It's very hard to explain how different history reads when you aren't reading from the place of those who wrote history from the perspective of their colonial empires.

I am white. I am male. I am straight. I am cis. I am healthy. I am in every way possible the stereotypical American from the 1950s. I enjoy every single privilege available to anyone in America (except maybe that I don't belong to the Christian religion).

Anyway, this video is about the people of Haiti, some who have made it out, who have made a life for themselves in another country but who still are connected with their true home that right now is not safe for them.
There are subtitles with the video, so you can follow along.

The ordinary Haitian is much like the ordinary person in any other country. They want the same things as anyone else. Safety and peace. A chance to earn a living. A chance to improve their lives. A place to send their kids to school in safety so they can become educated. Safety to go shopping.

It's secretly being run by The Family -- the group that flew a member of Congress to Uganda to rally support for that country's new LGBTQ+ death penalty.
