“Extinction Rebellion DC members, organizers and volunteers apologize for not acting in solidarity with Black Lives Matter DC as the DC closing action approached on September 23,” said an open letter apologizing. “We have not realized to what extent our apologies for the space we occupy reflect the regular and habitual marginalization of blacks and brunettes in general; apologies for acts of civil disobedience in this context can only undermine legitimate accusations that blacks should enter these spaces, and are in themselves an act of prejudice directed toward these broader legacies of violence and cultural marginalization. The protests of the Washington Extinction Rebellion were a little less loud than that; no one could cling to the top of an airplane, even though some were chained to a sailboat, which serves as a metaphor for the effectiveness of the tactics of the Washington Extinction Rebellion compared to their counterparts on the continent. When the Extinction Rebellion published pamphlets asking for the indulgence of those who suffered a disruption, Black Live’s Matter apparently became angry. It was not enough that the Washington, D.C. branch of the Extinction Rebellion apologized for the inconvenience caused by the interruption of people’s travel during their demonstrations last month. The problem is that the group worked in collaboration with Matter DC of Black Live, who strongly opposed any form of apology to members of the Washington community. “Many of us, if not most of us, did not understand the impact of our apologies for our disturbing actions in relation to the broader legacy of cultural violence,” the letter continues. This resulted in another apology letter, this time to Black Live’s Matter. In London alone, more than 1,300 Rebellion of Extinction protesters have been arrested since Monday. Because if you really stand in solidarity with blacks and brunettes, you will see that there are enough people on the left who have the right to harass whomever they want because of historical inequalities, and so on. So don’t expect any more excuses from the DC Extinction Rebellion, you capitalist pig. If you want an apology for the extinction rebellion, I’m sure you can get one. Specializing in political commentary and global issues, “he” has been writing for the Conservative Tribune and The Western Journal for the past four years. And part of this institutional racism is apologizing to the public for the inconvenience caused by these arrogant protests.
