I write what I like, on Biko Day

On this very important Day, I want to write what I like by saying...

Given our white supremacist world order that ranks the value of life according to race (which means that Reeva's life ranks slightly higher), and patriarchal culture which renders women the servants and punching bags of the psychiatric ward we call world order, White dude gets what promises to be a lenient sentence for murdering a woman. Patriarchy wins.


And because the Judge is Black, and a woman, patriarchy and racism collaborate towards victory. As a result of this, every hierarchy of human species has the universal "right" to tear Judge Thokozile Masipa to pieces. It is free for all attack, despite the legal brains attributed to her, under the circumstances of this psychiatric ward we all live in. There can be no consequences for this attack on her. The assault is literally top-down. Nobody in the ranking order cares. We are all above the object of our fury.'
