thoughts on the wrongness of white supremacy

I'm speaking to the white supremacy of the elite, academia heads who think they know more about the world than anybody else. The ones that believe their “education” makes them smarter and intrinsically better than other people... the ones that believe they possess some unreplicable and immaculate quality. Your Western supremacy Columbia shot me up with was traumatic and in the end, not even the pinnacle of education it claims to be.

In my Global Histories of Science class, I learned that the students of Edward Tylor-- the founder of cultural anthropology-- shifted the field from solely being based in secondary sources to "objective" primary source accounts through "participant observation". But we understand now, with universal proof of quantum mechanics, that observing affects the outcome of the experiment.

The narratives of Western history that we base our lives on were improperly measured. The colonizer simultaneously creates and experiences a type of local cultural shift that develops in relation to the presence. You’re in the picture you’re taking. It’s a selfie, not a landscape photograph. As the observer you framed the shot, chose what to focus on, what stories to tell, you created your own interpretation of reality and presented it to us as the most perfect truth without removing any of your own distorted opinions. You've been hyping up a selfie with a lot of fucking flaws, and I can see how that would offend you to the point of complete indignation and rage. That emotion doesn't change the fact that your original creation is Fucked the Fuck Up. Those of us not in the photograph (because you pushed us out, poisoned our bodies and buried them) try to make edits to your picture when we can. I must admit, you put up a terrifying fight.
