From Emmett Till to Ralph Yarl

18 Tuesday Apr 2023

Another young black ma

Reading articles from years gone by, frozen newspaper photos at odds with white supremacy marching on across the decades since those men tortured, killed and gloated about killing a young teenage boy. In 1992, one of Emmett Till’s murderers complained that,”Emmett Till is dead. I don’t know why he can’t stay dead.” The murder of black men and boys in the United States continues, and the architecture of white privilege has yet to be dismantled. As T. Coates writes in Between the World and Me, “There is nothing uniquely evil in these destroyers…they are merely men enforcing the whims of our country, correctly interpreting its heritage and legacy.  It is hard to face this. But all our phrasings — race relations, racial chasm, racial justice, racial profiling, white privilege, even white supremacy — serves to obscure that racism is a visceral experience, that is dislodges the brain, blocks airways, rips muscle, extracts organs, cracks bones, breaks teeth.  You must never look away.  You must always remember that the sociology, the history, the economics, the graphs, the charts, the regressions all land, with great violence, upon the body.”

I wish to add the categories “pain,” “outrage” and “allyship” to my Word Press drop down menu

A River with Rights, People with but a few?

The sludge you see beneath this labyrinth of wooden planks is raw sewage. The river is laced with mercury and “cianuro” — cyanide, chemicals used in illegal mining. Tons of wood is trucked out at night, deforestation adding to the sedimentation that causes the Río Atrato to flood in a cyclical fashion. The last big flood was 2010, and folks in Rio Sucio constructed these air-borne walkways as a crisis management response. Twelve years on, the walkways remain. I embrace the “rights of nature,” but not over the welfare of the disenfranchised Afro-Colombian and Indigenous people who live in seemingly permanent precarity along the riverbank.
