Reposted from @thebodyisnotanapology Instagram took down our repost of this quote by Martin Luther King, Jr., posted ON MLK’s birthday, for being “hate speech”. If that doesn’t prove the enduring virulence of white supremacy that Dr. King lost his life as a result of, we don’t know what does... well, that or the Capitol coup!! Reposting again, because fighting for liberation against #BodyTerrorism will never be equivalent to enacting oppression. . . [image description: quote by Martin Luther King, Jr. in black and red on a white background. The quote reads, “Whites, it must be frankly said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to re-educate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn.”] . . #TheBodyIsNotAnApology #TBINAA #RadicalSelfLove #Whiteness #BodyTerrorism https://www.instagram.com/p/CKKOUnDhVDh-db-TAnfy9-in20AMYXHA1Z4Bds0/?igshid=13mnfgozld8ys

#bodyterrorism #capitalistsideeffects

“Within the economic and social landscape, the bifurcation of the normative abled bodied citizen and disabled one creates an assumption that a proper citizen is an able productive one, that the economic and social value of personhood is conflated with restrictive notions of productivity. The result of this binary is that the disabled body is rendered as other, less useful then simply as just less. It is the inherent ableism of society, of capitalism’s productivity, that teaches us that we must be of use, that we are tools to be used to produce and that our entirety, our purpose, is hinged on a framework of productivity. In evaluating our life purpose and the value and purpose of others within a framework of capitalist productivity we not only shame and isolate bodies that aren’t valued as productive we unleash a form of body terrorism that communicates that it is not one’s body that should be valued but rather what that body can effectively produce.”
