(en) Libertarian Alternative Brussels - Conference "What
fights against racism? "Said with Bouamama (fr, pt) [machine
translation]
Organizes this Saturday, December 6 at 16h, a conference on the theme "What fights against
racism? "At the Free University of Brussels. ---- Speakers: ---- Sa?d Bouamama:
sociologist, activist, co-author of the book "Fuck France - insolence Duty" with Sa?ddou
PTA ---- Nicolas Pasadena Member of the Commission of racism Libertarian Alternative
France, author of "no Islamophobia in the name of libertarian ideas." ---- ?In recent
years, as everywhere in Belgium West, the examples of institutional racism abound. Police
violence, Islamophobia, discrimination and criminalization of undocumented migrants. So
many facts left majoritai white larly, could not take the measure and fight. ---- This
limited mostly to moral racism condemning individual acts but refusing to see this race
domination in our societies, reproducing itself racist thinking patterns inherited from
colonization as shown by the debate on prohibition of the veil in France or adopting a
paternalistic denying racialized populations to conduct their legitimate struggle
independently.
Yet the autonomous struggles of racialized for equality and justice abound. Walking to the
Black Panthers for equality and against racism, as many such moments marking the fight
against systemic racism.
At a time when the NV-A ministers said publicly that "the Moroccan immigration, Algerian
or Congolese does not constitute an added value for Belgium," that Islamophobia appears in
newspapers in the image of the History Assim Abassi or the police murders of
African-American with impunity in the United States, it is time for the left to take the
measure of institutional racism.
This awareness begins with the refusal of the racist and colonialist schemes within its
own ranks and universalist positions. It also begins to support the struggles of racis?.es
without replacing them. This must also be an anti-racist anti-colonialism because the
international system is still based on inequalities established by colonization and sits
domination of the West while denying the self-determination of colonized peoples.
In order to understand racism, it is the understanding globally. Indeed, there are
situations of dual or triple oppression (race, class and gender) that intersect to justify
social inequality. It is at the intersection of these dominations that some are positioned
to understand the multiple reality and fight.
While class inequalities are growing by the capitalist and neo-liberal policies in
Belgium, racism serves as proof ever greater exploitation of racis?.es
As stated Bouamama Said, "all analyzes that obscure the racist discrimination can only
become blind to the reality of neighborhoods. When afraid to say the word "race" or by
intellectual vanity is contorts to mention such inequality without naming and / or
unintentionally measure it objectively contributes to the breed. Similarly, all the
analyzes that confuse the reactions to systemic violence suffered (which of course be
wrong targets) and systemic racism and mass violence thereunder, by amalgamating the two
sub-racist term, supply voluntarily or not (the result is the same) systemic racism. Like
it or not, the class also saw so racialized in the contemporary globalized capitalism.
Recognize reality for what it is, is the first step to be able to transform it. Do you
even lift
It is this reality that we intend to understand contemporary racism and transform society ...
