Anyone can tell you there’s no more road to ride

A blog focused on stories/news/facts/quotes of oppression, abuse, empowerment, women's rights, race/class/gender/sexuality, ableism and many many more. We welcome criticism (see below for contact) in order to keep having an on-going dialogue what what NEEDS to change in us and in the world around us.
We hold a strong belief that actions stem from ideology and philosophy. We need new philosophies and new ideologies. Actions and inactions around us in society currently demonstrate an old ideology/philosophy that still excludes people. We want and need to transform that.

But by any objective measure the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot was a worse act of domestic terrorism than the Oklahoma City Bombing: 300 people killed (90% of whom were black), 1,400 homes destroyed, the Greenwood district of Tulsa, a thriving black community, devastated. Most White people simply cannot hear that as race-rioting by Whites, but that’s what happened. It’s crass and rather absurd to compare the dimensions of human tragedy, but the White corporate media started the quantification game, and if they’re going to play it, they should be made to play it fairly.
