Patrisse Cullors' “When They Call You a Terrorist”

❍❍❍

A Black Lives Matter Memoir

After reading this book, you might find yourself so excited that you want to only read books by black women writers. The book is as exciting and informing as autobiographies of black radical activists such as Angela Davis and Assata Shakur. It reminds us of other works such as: Push Out, We Were Eight Years in Power, Long Walk to Freedom, White Fragility, Golden Gulag, and Revolutionary Suicide. It is written smoothly with a down-to-earth style of writing. She has a non-academic working-class tone that connects with everyone.

POPO

The ending of the book [Spoiler Alert] is very powerful with the birth of Patrisee’s child, the presidency of Trump, the rise of hate crimes, mentioning the names of victims of police brutality and the future of the Black struggle. On a #SayHerName-style, she brings to light the names of victims of police violence and white supremacy. She reminds us of the ordinary Americans who lost their lives due to police racism. People such as Tanisha Anderson, Miriam Carey, Shelly Hilliard, Rekia Boyd, Shelly Frey, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, and Kathryn Johnston. The reason for this imperative is that women are often left out when the histories of white supremacy, slavery, and genocide are told.

”These few names are only part of a long, terrible list, but, like the horrific history of lynching in this country, when the story is told, women are often left out of it even as we are lynched, too. And some of the women are pregnant at the time of the lynching. And maybe because our movement is being led by women, Queer and straight, cisgender and Trans. And maybe because so many of us have family who have been harmed in jails and prisons but that harm has not become part of the broader public discussion about the bind, torture, kill that is part and parcel of the American system of incarceration.”

Colonial Structures

In chapter 15, Patrisse identifies the United States as the country of borders and walls. As a first-generation immigrant, I completely agree with this description. I don’t take this description only literally. This definition of the United States as the country of borders and walls does not only apply to the brutal border regime with concentration camps for children, deportations, and criminalization of asylum seekers. It also applies to the European mindset which is always preoccupied with congealing definitions and categories. It prevents people to accept each other for who they are and making an effort to understand cultural differences and historical trauma in order to heal the previous wounds inflicted.

Historically speaking, white supremacy has a tendency to define and categorize everything outside of itself as the “other” or “minority” or “abnormal”. When I was living in the United States, I thought this solely applies to the North American mindset. However, If we look into European societies as well as European settler-colonial states around the world, we see the same type of mentality reminiscent of colonial enlightenment which still hasn’t been flushed out of the systems.

Patrisse has lost close friends and family to police brutality and white supremacy. She is telling the reader, if her dead body was found in police custody, we should know that the police have killed her. Her position is not only from a radical black perspective, but it is also within the black queer tradition.

We know historically that women often do the work and men get the credit for it. And living in patriarchy means that the default inclination is to centre men and their voices rather than women and their work.

She skillfully takes the reader into the “world" of the working-class black community in America. In some instances, she takes us even deeper into the community of queer activists of color. The non-black reader should naturally understand the reality of ethnic profiling targeted towards the black and Latinx communities. The history of police in the United States is founded upon white supremacy, slavery and defense of public property.

Today, if we step out of North America, we see similar patterns of police brutality emerging increasingly in Western and Eastern Europe. European societies as the so-called defenders of Western democracy and civility are turning into deportation regimes and in some cases semi-apartheid Islamophobic regimes. Although they are spending tremendous energy in hiding the data from the international community and presenting themselves as civil and superior to North America, they increasingly see themselves vulnerable to the new generation of BIPoC activists and organizers.

The European Network Against Racism (ENAR) after releasing its 4-year report in 2018, noted that hate crimes that target racial and ethnic minorities are on the rise and need immediate actions to be prevented. Yet, only one-third of the 24 member states have guidelines, policies, and instructions for the police in documenting the hate crimes. If that doesn’t sound right to you, you are not the only one. First of all, the question comes to mind what does the other two-third think about hate crimes? and the second question is that “Are you designating the police in charge of documenting the hate crimes, even though a good portion of hate crimes might actually come from police themselves? The report also shows that the police do not take reports of racist crimes seriously or they do not believe the victims of racially motivated crimes. (1)

Turns out that Stephen Lawrence and Emmanuel Chidi Nnamdi are not the only people in Europe to be the victim of hate crime. (2) Recent reporting shows that London recorded 1,652 antisemitic incidents in 2018, an increase of 16% in one year. (3) Meanwhile, in the United States, the FBI reported that in 2018 alone, 8,646 people were victims of hate crime in 7,036 single-bias incidents. Almost 60% of these incidents were motivated by race, ethnicity, and ancestry. (4)

Another EU survey in 2015-2016 showed that 14% of respondents with different ethnic minority and immigrant backgrounds have been stopped by police in the 12 months preceding the survey. (5) In France, according to the results of a national survey of more than 5,000 respondents, Arab and African men are twenty times more likely to be stopped and searched than other males groups. (6) In England and Wales, black people were nine and a half times more likely to be stopped and searched by the police. (7) All these are excluding the Algorithmic profiling that has been vastly problematic across Europe due to its preexisting structural racism.

When Silicon Valley first emerges, it might as well be a Nordic country for all its homogeneity. Even today, its diversity has not yet found a way to reach into the communities of those who were legally and willfully excluded.

In occupied Palestine, we see the same techniques of systemic killings being exercised towards Palestinians by Israeli soldiers, police, and settler-colonialists. That might be one of the reasons for the huge solidarity between Palestinians and Black activists in Ferguson when military tanks started to appear on American streets. (8) Today, beyond Angela Davis’s pro-Palestinian activism and support for the BDS movement, we see a broader unification of forces between black & brown activism with Palestinian liberation.

Susanville, incorporated in 1860, was named for the child of the man who laid claim to founding it at a time when founding something was a euphemism for manifest destiny and homesteading and all the blood and death both of these wrought. “Founding,” a term like the phrase “collateral damage,” the use of which was ratcheted up in the 90s so they didn’t have to say dead Iraqi children.

Governmental Terrorism

“There’s a difference between abuse and torture. Both are horrible, often unbearable, and both leave scars. Neither can be minimized. But I make the distinction here in order to explain that while abuse may or may not be intentional, and is often spontaneous, torture is always intentional. It is always premeditated. It is planned out and its purpose is to deliberately and systematically dismantle a person’s identity and humanity.”

Patrisse recalls a day when his brother Monte gets into a car accident with a white woman, and she calls the cops on him. LAPD arrives and arrests Monte after tasing him brutally. Patrisse's brother gets into trouble simply because he has a mental problem and he is black. Later in the book, she asks herself: why cops never seem to understand that black people can also have mental illness?

She criticizes the classical racist “War on Drugs“ policies that were basically “War on Black and Latinxs peoples”. Even Nixon’s domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman admitted that the purpose of these laws was to target black peoples and anti-war students. (9) The laws were written so broadly that it made otherwise normal daily activities illegal. It gave police a nice opportunity to arrest those who targeted. These policies are similar to the strategies used on indigenous peoples which have resulted in spending more money on erasing their language rather than saving them. (10) The War on Drugs was the campaign to start the prison industrial complex targeting Black and Latinx peoples. And these laws were so ineffective, that for example in Los Angeles between 1990 and 2010, about 10,000 people died.

As of this writing, three of the organizers from Ferguson, DeAndre Joshua, Darren Seals and Edward Crawford, have all been found shot dead in their cars. The cars of two of the young men, DeAndre and Darren, were burned, which destroyed forensic evidence, and Edward’s death was ruled a suicide—even as he had just started a new job and had secured a new apartment, hardly the action of someone looking to die.

BLM

After reading this book, if a non-black person [anywhere] doesn’t see the police brutality as something real toward black and brown communities in the United States, then I guess there is no way to have a discussion with that person. If after reading this book, someone doesn’t comprehend the urgency and magnitude of the Black Lives Matter movement, then I guess there is no way to have a discussion with that person.

There are many white folks who decide to stay neutral amidst the rise of far-right racism and xenophobia. “White Silence is consent” was a slogan introduced by the Civil Rights activists in the ’50s and ’60s. Today, after Trump’s presidency and impeachment, amidst all the human rights violations that the United States government is inflicting upon humanity, remaining silent is taking the side of white supremacy.

“…while I know the basics of what he experienced the first time he was sent to LA County Jail in 1999, a jail run by the sheriff’s department, it will not be until 2011 when I read a report issued by the ACLU of Southern California that I fully understand what was done to my brother there. This is to say that Abu Ghraib was first practiced on this soil, in this America. And before the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Before the second Gulf War. The skills to torture people were honed in this nation on people who were not terrorists. They were the victims of terrorism.”

Culture Issues

Patrisse Cullors talk about her memory when her white classmate invited her for dinner. She accepts the invitation. When they are eating at the dinner table with the family, the father is asking Patrisse questions such as "have you thought about what you want to be when you grow up?". She tells herself: “It is incredible. Who asks children such things and over a well-set table where all the family has gathered to eat, converse? I’ve only seen that in movies, on the TV shows I love, 90210. But this is real life and here I am.” And then she asks herself: "Have I ever known such a moment in my own home?"

White people’s economic and money-oriented mindset is well known around the world. White parents like to talk about money during mealtime, even when kids are around. In contrast to this first-world behavior of homo economicus, the majority of non-Western cultures highly value the eating time as something important if not sacred. It is the designated time for the family and loved ones.

Female Genital Mutilation: The Women Who Learned How To Defend Their Clitoris | Future Planet

Norfilia Caizales did not know that a part of her body was missing until a few years ago. She was a good woman since she was a child. Her mother taught her how to grind corn, knead arepas and carry the house, but not how to have children. With that he found later. Her reproductive system was always a mystery, she did not know what the rule was nor did she let her husband touch it until, confused, a month after she married she went to see a priest who consoled her when she told him that the contact within the marriage was not it is sin.

Embera-chamí women live hidden from their own bodies. It is sacred, like a flower that withers if it sees the light. It is a fragile object from which the creatures that keep the community alive emerge. Within this reserve, where tradition is the law, women of this ethnic group have naturally perpetuated for centuries, no one knows how many, a practice that nobody knows exactly when it began to be practiced in America: clitoral ablation.

In 2007, the Embera-Chamí broke a spell, a kind of evil eye. That year, a girl died in the Pueblo Rico hospital, in the department of Risaralda, in central Colombia, where some 25,000 emberas live. That death put the country, and the continent, on the map of female genital mutilation, which was thought to be restricted to Africa and Asia. The doctor who cared for the girl noticed that her clitoris was missing. The case opened the box of horrors. Other mutilated girls appeared and it was learned that most of the women in that community were. Society turned to see these indigenous people. They called them savage, wicked, violent, and the fight for their eradication began.

Norfilia Caizales also did not know that the missing part of her body was the clitoris. He did not know what it is for or what it was taken from. Now, with dazzling, almost revolutionary lucidity, she wants to be a midwife so that no other girl goes through this again in Colombia.

Midwives

Midwives are women who help pregnant women bring children to life. They are, by their wisdom, a type of authority for the indigenous people similar, although inferior, to their doctors, who call jaibanás. They know what a pregnant woman must eat in order for the baby to grow up healthy and sane. They know what the birth process is and what herbal preparations and remedies to apply at each moment, something they keep secret. And they also know that most Embera-Chamí women lack the clitoris, although they would never have called it that.

The woman's body is so private that sex only occurs in the dark and men cannot see how their children are born. The pregnant woman wraps herself around her mother, her grandmother and the midwife. Only they know how to do it and, when the time comes, they transmit the knowledge from generation to generation. “My mom taught me that to have the baby I had to open my legs, put my hand up and wait. About 20 minutes, until the navel empties. Then you cut it and tie the knot, ”says a displaced woman in a Bogotá café who had her daughters alone, in the bathroom of her house, far from everything, in one of the villages of Pueblo Rico three decades ago. Even midwives fail to reach all births. The closest health center may be a few days away, a path that begins on foot or on the back of an animal in the jungle, where they live on community land, and continues by road. She turns a deaf ear to the talk of “healing.” This is how they refer to mutilation.

The book Embera Wera, which includes the experiences of four years of projects to promote the emancipation of women in this community between 2007 and 2011, explains that the Embera women have a very strong relationship with their bodies and that of their babies. Newborns are carefully examined to alert of any malformations. The midwives pay special attention to the girls' clitoris: “if it protruded from the labia majora, it was cut by the midwife because this guaranteed normal maturity,” explains the book, based on statements by the women involved. As for the tools, they cite scissors, razor blades … something capable of leaving a clean cut that heals, if it heals, with a secret combination of herbs.

Between history and myth

The origin of the ablation in Colombia oscillates between history and myth. The doubt that it is an ancestral custom remains, but most versions say that it was something that came, sooner or later, during colonization. Víctor Zuluaga is a retired historian from the Technological University of Pereira and has worked in the Embera-Chamí communities of Risaralda since the 1970s. Since then, he has collected stories and stories about their origins and traditions. He says that in the 17th century, when the colonists had already taken control of the majority of indigenous peoples, the Chamí remained indomitable. They were an almost nomadic people who lived more on hunting and fishing than on agriculture or mining. The exit they found for them was, therefore, the road: they used them to move cargo between the coast and the mountains. Their journey passed through Tadó, a small town rich in gold currently in the department of Chocó, where hundreds of African slaves worked. When they coincided on Sundays, sometimes also on Saturdays, the indigenous people and slaves had “a small space of freedom” where they could share customs and rituals.

Those slaves, who came from Mali and were also used to men spending a lot of time away from home, taught the Embera, who spent two or three weeks hunting down a stray animal in the jungle, to control their libido. your wives. “'Healing' has the meaning of putting women in a position such that they cannot commit infractions such as contortions or infidelity. They talk a lot in the term jumps. It is to cure them of that evil. The clitoris is the center there: some Christian sects call it the bell of hell ”, explains Zuluaga.

The first time he heard about the ablation was in the 1970s, when a midwife told him that two or three months after the girl was born, they took away “the little thing”. “You take a lace, put it on the coals and when it is red, we put it on and burn it.” The teacher reflects the stunned face that remained at the time of that conversation. “I heard it as testimony of a person who practiced it and I did not measure or believe that it could be a living habit. I thought it was something that happened in the past. “

Eradication with empowerment

Alberto Wazorna is an Embera-Chamí and was a senior councilor for the indigenous people of Risaralda in 2007. He was one of the standard-bearers in the cultural transformation that the community has undergone in the last eight years. He feels privileged to have been able to witness the wakefulness. “It was a beautiful process in which the woman realized that a practice that she considered cultural was hurting the girls in the community. We learned that tradition should generate life and not pain and death, ”he says sitting in a chair in a children's library in Mistrató, another of the municipalities of Risaralda where there have been deaths from mutilation in recent years, during a workshop in which young people Embera are formed to be the leaders of the future in their communities.

Conversations on ablation

The hostel room is small and dark and the corners do not make right angles. This, together with the two beds that leave no space to pass, gives a feeling of disorder, but the flower pillows, old as they are, give a certain warmth to the room they occupy while they are in Mistrató, the capital of the Colombian municipality where their remote communities are found during the days of the indigenous training school. The women talk about them, their bodies and the mutilation openly, laughing.

READ HERE THE FULL REPORT

Wazorna insists that they were the first to be surprised, the men: “We did not know anything,” repeats the now counselor of the National Organization of Indigenous People of Colombia (ONIC), “in terms of community, it brought us a very complicated conflict. We had to face it ”. Since a commission of state agencies (headed by the Colombian Institute for Family Welfare, ICBF) and international organizations (who assumed the role was the United Nations Population Fund of Colombia, UNFPA) was uncovered, it began to raise awareness and cultural transformation. They were sweeping the jungle to reach all the sidewalks of all the slopes of that Andean area, especially in the municipalities of Pueblo Rico and Mistrató (Risaralda), where more cases of ablation have been recorded. They organized workshops and talks with women, especially midwives, to convey their concern. Today, the ICBF claims to have some 30 midwives on its side, committed to not continuing the practice and to spreading efforts to abolish it. The ONIC estimates that the number of cases has been reduced by 80%, but there is no way to demonstrate these figures, since there are no records of ablation before or now. Everyone knows that a culture of centuries will not change but in generations.

The work, which seeks to raise awareness rather than punish, happens because women have a greater role in their communities. That they are part of the government entities. Let them give their word. Colombian law does not contemplate the prohibition. Only at the community level is there a 24-hour prison sentence and three years of forced labor for women found to have participated in an ablation. Delfín Arce, senior councilor of the indigenous people of Risaralda, affirms that in recent years some 300 women have paid their sentence in that department, something that both the ICBF and UNFPA and ONIC itself consider not only counterproductive, but unfair to them: victims not only of mutilation and its consequences and of social discrimination within communities, but also of the stigma of perpetuating a violent and dangerous tradition.

The representatives of the institutions in the dialogue for the suppression placed in October 2012 the most important fact on the road to eradication that, they assume, will take decades to reach their goal. At a summit of state authorities, indigenous and non-indigenous, female genital mutilation was officially prohibited for the first time. “Culture must generate life, not death,” was the conclusion they drew from the meeting. They had been trying to drive change for five years, but before they had and have to suppress inequality.

Emberá women's concerns

A woman carries her baby on a sidewalk in Colombia. F. Cabarcas UNFPA

“Women often die in childbirth and some girls because of the cure.”

“If the woman cannot have children or is ordered to fix herself so that she does not have children, the man beats her because she thinks she will cheat on him.

“In Pueblo Rico and Mistrató the girls are being given at 10 or 12 years of age for marriage, since she is still a girl and that is like rape.

“They beat us with machetes, with sticks, and the men threaten that if they denounce them, they will finish them, that is why they have not been able to allow their husbands to be punished because they leave them or kill them.”

“If a companion becomes a widow, her mentality is damaged and she goes to Bogotá to beg saying that they are displaced.”

“If the planning advances, the community is not going to work in the future (…) Women are placing devices that are causing cancer in the womb, the pills are causing problems, health difficulties. It is not allowed to continue planning with the western methods, but to do it with the traditional ones for when you want to have more children than the other is older. Now the husband imposes how many children they are going to have. ”

“There is physical abuse, verbal abuse and sexual abuse between couples and within the family; that some men do not respect women and that the frequent drunkenness of many of them makes the situation more serious ”.

“In cases of abuse women complain to the governor or the authority and they punish the two husbands without taking into account that the women are not at fault and in case of drunkenness with threats against women, the sanction is not applied.”

The quotes reflect the concerns of a group of women who met in 2009 with the indigenous authorities of Risaralda with the aim of marking the lines of work to empower them and ensure their rights. At that meeting, held within the framework of the Embera Wera project initiated in 2007 by CRIR, ONIC and UNFPA to emancipate women from this community, female genital mutilation was already banned at the regional level.
