It's got y'all uneducated in the ways of building something collective.

It means that you all's muscles have atrophied if they were ever developed in the first place about how to link arm in arm with somebody and move together.

We expect white women to vote in a particular way and then forget that they weren't taught sisterhood the same way we were, which we talked about last time.

So suddenly I'm like, well, you betrayed me.

Well, you were never on my team in the first place because you don't know how to be on a team.

Nobody ever taught you that.

Nobody ever socialized you to that.

I'm not blaming you for it.

I'm saying that's your conditioning.

You have to be a traitor to that conditioning.

Renee Good was murdered because she was a traitor to that conditioning.

Alex Pretty was very literally when you watch the video as a white man, he put himself in the way of a woman who had been shoved by ice.

So he was in that moment being a traitor.

to patriarchy, to heteronormativity, to toxic masculinity, to whiteness, to individualism by saying you are me and I am you.

And if they hit you, they hit me.

So I got to get in the way.

I know that asking you to be a traitor to the thing that raised you is hard.

I know that expecting you to be traitorous to the thing that has made you feel warm and fuzzy inside for your entire life feels like an impossibility.

And yet you are going to keep dying from the same cancer of systemic oppression that I am.

If you don't, you might not die as fast as me.
