“It is easy for men to discount and misunderstand the suffering or harm done to others. Once accustomed to poverty, to the sight of toil and degradation, it easily seems normal and natural; once it is hidden beneath a different color of skin, a different stature or a different habit of action and speech, all consciousness of inflicting ill disappears.”
—W.E.B. Du Bois - “Black Reconstruction in America, 1860-1880” (1936) via effusionofbiopower
“Decolonial thinking presupposes de-linking from the web of imperial knowledge … A common topic of conversation today, after the financial crisis on Wall Street, is ‘how to save capitalism’. A decolonial question would be: ‘Why would you want to save capitalism and not save human beings? Why save an abstract entity and not the human lives that capitalism is constantly destroying?”
—Walter D. Mignolo (via prettythingsandliberation)
