Urban Colonialism – Introduction
“Especially. Especially, Especially.” “Important, Important, Important.” “Complex, Complex, Complex.” Words that are endlessly used to entitle, empower, and absolve those recognized as worthy. But, what if you’re not? — Not “people of color,” not Hispanic, not a woman, not “Indigenous,” — what are you then? You’re disposable, and if you’re disposable: you can’t be a victim. The belief that you can always have a good excuse for doing evil to others is the basis of modern policy making. It’s the view from the top. It’s the view of Urban Colonialism.
