This past month I've realized that "freedom of speech" is only applicable if you're white.
If you are a person of colour who also dares to speak up and challenge existing systems, you will be personally and professionally punished – even if what you are saying is aligned with…

Thank you for speaking up (as you have done since OCP started). Speaking up for human rights should not be controversial. 🤘🏼

This perfectly aligns with the "right to defend" in current context. A POC has no right to defend their own fellow POCs. Only the dominant white narrative & folks have earned that right to be victimized… And boyoboy, do THEY feel victimized & slighted!
The biggest lie the devil pulled was convincing us that the illegal invasion, occupation & apartheid never took place a few decades ago… and that how since then it's just one side earning the 'right to defend' itself by massacring the ones it invaded, occupied & partitioned.

The problem we can't afford to purposely split the Progressive vote because we end up with Poilievre as Prime Minister. Even Fred DeLorey on CBC exposed his own party declaring the Conservatives lie to fool people to vote for them.

This could definitely be considered whataboutism but I disagree in the sense that it isn’t just applicable to those who are white. I’m trans, I would not say I have the “luxury” of freedom of speech. I think that freedom of speech is only applicable to white, cis, straight men.
