@Hannah: the song is Ella’s Song by Sweet Honey In The Rock

55:57
What is dismantled white supremacy? How the looks like? How equity plays a role to dismantle the racial capitalism?

01:01:12
Super helpful breakdown!

01:01:24
to recognize it, call it out, and do better

01:01:37
It is important to understand it so we can dismantle it

01:01:37
to dismantle them

01:01:50
It is deep programming and we need to throw it out of our heads and hearts, and to see the violence.

01:01:50
to abolish racism, white people need to be on the front lines and be willing to let of the systems that benefit them so that we can all be free

01:02:01
It is a social system that effects us all

01:02:02
white supremacy is a beast. a dying beast is a dangerous beast

01:02:20
to root it out, call it out and stamp it out

01:02:28
I think a lot of liberal white people decry racism but are deeply uncomfortable with acknowledging anti-blackness as a root of racist logics

01:03:25
Because as a non-black person of color not understanding anti-black racism puts me in danger of flattening the impacts of white supremacy in the US as just racism

01:04:58
Porque todos somos importantes y debemos eduacar a nuestras jovenes para poder terminar con el mostruo de la discriminación y la supremacioa blanca

01:14:03
thanks

01:16:46
And much of this land has also been subjected to terrible environmental crimes, thinking of land in Northern AZ that was used for mining and then leaving local people sick.

01:17:44
Anti-blackness is an institu

01:18:03
Sorry for that incomplete thought

01:18:21
I understand it to be the reparations promised to enslaved people.

01:18:22
“reparations”

01:18:24
reparations for black folks

01:18:25
promise for emancipated slaves

01:18:28
the amount given as reparations to slaves

01:18:29
was it what happened during reconstruction?

01:18:29
what we are owed.

01:18:29
That was the promise after the civil war

01:18:30
Yes, the "promise" given to folks after the civil war

01:18:30
That was land to be apportioned to the freed slaves.

01:18:42
land redistribution promised during reconstruction

01:19:11
why we need reparations so urgently now

01:19:14
Promise to freed slaves to attempt to have them assimilate into society

01:23:04
Yep. The Constitution not only omitted many peoples but specifically excluded some people such as “merciless Indian savages”

01:24:39
Native Americans weren't considered citizens until 1924.

01:28:48
And couldn’t vote until the 60s

01:30:28
Yes. The wealth is in the land.

01:30:52
mobility by choice, not because you are pushed off the land

01:31:25
Many tribes who have been successful in business have been buying land back into their nations. Which has prompted some politicians to push for policies to limit the amount of land tribes can buy back

01:31:42

"Although indigenous lands account for less than 22 percent of the world's land area, their traditional territories are home to approximately 80 percent of the world's biodiversity." - National Geographic

01:33:24
put your answer in the slides - #42

01:35:29
requirement to ensure large % of publicly held/tax delinquent land go to groups that ensure deep and permanent affordability

01:38:00
yeah in SF folks who lost their homes due to redevelopment never really received restitutions for that. I know folks with certificates of priority for placement in affordable housing who from redevelopment who can’t really use it because the prices even in “affordable” housing is too expensive

01:38:47
Housing in SF is a disastrous situation.

01:39:39
in SF Bay Area black families and others were denied housing and excluded by denying FDA loans. Housing passed down through generations.

01:40:28
Shift local, state and federal budgeting

01:41:25
But $8 Lattes make everything better, right? Gentrification and manifest destiny share a common narrative--the POC on the land aren't using it "right" or "productively."

01:41:33
which can be done through a human rights participatory budgeting where the budgeting process gets opened up to residents to determine where money goes and even how to generate revenue

01:41:53
housing that doesn't fit the neighborhood.

01:41:56
Costa-Hawkins

01:42:03
Gentrification happen because white people "love " culture and therefore want to steal it

01:42:14
Tax breaks to wealthy developers

01:42:15
\What's Costa-Hawkins?

01:42:23
Over-policing

01:42:26
predatory investors

01:42:31
Neglecting neighborhood improvements until property goes down

01:42:31
Neoliberal logics that cities have adopted to up their tax base

01:42:42
White neighborhoods have "character", gentrified neighborhoods didn't have "character"

01:42:43
Studies that justify gentrification as “overall good” for working class communities

01:42:47
buy cheap, remodel and price out

01:42:53
“Beautification” projects

01:42:59
La ciudad no tiene ninguna restriccion a los desarrolladores

01:43:11
Narrative of “development” only way a community can be better…erasing what communities who have historically lived there have build and created

01:43:23
“Civilized” people of color and white moving in for diversity - opportunity of development

01:43:25
historically low income neighborhoods close to downtown become ideal property for downtown professionals and students

01:43:31
gentrification —> the “gentry” the property owning class

01:43:54
also yeah that gentrification is the only way cities develop and grow…this is very much in urban planning programs in all universities - gentrification is bad but there is no other way cities grow - liberal handwringing

01:43:56
Big box shopping in outskirts and killing small neighborhood grocery stores in the older communities

01:44:20
The Spanish word, "aburguesiamiento" says it all!

01:45:52
^^^Yeah I’ve always loved the clarity of “aburguesamiento” the bougiefication of your neighborhood/city/region

01:46:15
+++

01:46:37
beautification is used as an excuse for the need to bring in money, developers, get rid of “blight” and bring in people who can afford higher rates when there are gardens and shops and murals

01:46:53
It is not in and of itself gentrification

01:47:59
America also has a really messed up view of workers because of our slavery hangover. You're "lazy" if you don't work, but if you need to work for a living you are lesser. Rent seeking behavior is rewarded, but rent paying necessity is punished.

01:49:41
By the myth that "you too" can become wealthy one day!

01:50:22
“You have no soul” - 1492

01:50:31
Definitely the same

01:50:34

01:50:51
“You have no morals and are lazy” - 2020

01:51:42
Police are there to control the working class.

01:52:04
Exactly. Robbing people of millions and trillions requires suits, computers, and authority/institutions.

01:53:07
Make the police obsolete

01:53:23
“You are lazy” - are the words of White supremacy and Capitalist who literally stole people to do their work for them

01:54:18
here in Minneapolis - it is no coincidence that George Floyd was murdered in a historically-Black and rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. Across from a coffee shop selling $8 lattes. Police will murder to protect white wealth and property

01:54:19
We pay for it by NOT bailing out banks, corporations and oil & gas industry

01:54:27
25% philly's city budget is police and jails

01:54:35
The irony is that police are called public safety. Who the hell ever started a meeting by saying, "Let's create a safe space here. Right over there are the police."

01:54:41
THANKS YA’LL! This was amazing

01:54:48
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
