Monday President's Day

Please don't be afraid of my anger.
Please don't be afraid of my passion.
Please don't be afraid of our differences.

Please don't mistake my anger as hate but for frustration of the cycle of oppression.
Please don't mistake my passion to be feared but as intense desire for justice.
Please don't mistake our differences for we are all part of the systems that uphold our history of racism. We are different because one race may uphold unearned privileges over other races, but oppression belongs to us all, as a problem and to come up with solutions to never repeat what our ancestors practiced and then passed onto us.

Kia Moua
