As for changing our diets, I think growing and sustaining community gardens would truly encourage and help communities of color to grow their own healthy, organic food. I think if this were to happen in every urban, low-income community dominated by folks of color. Fast food restaurants, liquor stores, Church's Chicken would be out of business. The white supremacist capitalist patriarchal society intends on feeding us unhealthy things to keep us "in our place." But we can do something to change this.RPoetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082399497674613513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2548512673472247243.post-87616811911488105562009-08-18T04:48:11.426-07:002009-08-18T04:48:11.426-07:00hi, i'm reading this from the Caribbean, and I...hi, i'm reading this from the Caribbean, and I agree totally...we have to free ourselves from the man in the big house who used rum to subdue us...alcohol-free living is about freeing our minds from the traces of chains of plantationsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2548512673472247243.post-82046696047915039282009-08-17T18:32:14.560-07:002009-08-17T18:32:14.560-07:00I agree that the process of liberating ourselves a...I agree that the process of liberating ourselves as a people in dyaspora is one the must be both collective and connective, internal and external. As such decolinization as a process with regard to access to alternative and Black positive knowledges, diets, nutrients, spiritualities, and art forms must be something that we do individually and with one another, in our homes and with our neighbood organizations or nonprofits. This decolonization must happen simultaneously at all of the levels. Because as a dispersed people we often "need a passport just to get to the rest of we," it becomes imperative that we connect, commune, and collect with the various parts of ourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
