…..My question is, how can we be in solidarity when we are not willing to be reflexive and to check ourselves, check each other and be checked?….This is not to dismiss genuine concern for the state of our world ….But I worry that many white people aren’t paying attention to the larger structures in place. They are not being reflexive about the realities of racism that undergird prison incarceration, the death penalty and sexual violence….So no, I am not Troy Davis. I am not a slut. I am not an occupier of Wall Street or any street. The fights are my fights, but the current methods and analyses are not mine…

Amazing, sobering article. I’m speechless. Stephanie Gilmore put into words what I had been feeling but couldn’t express.  Anyone concerned with Troy Davis, SlutWalks, Occupy Wall Street, racism and sexual violence should read this article. Well, everyone should read this article, actually.
