Deconolonize Yourself

Recognizing and taking an active effort to undo the harmful ideologies, including, but not limited to, white supremacist influences and classism, that have been instilled in you from birth by centuries of Colonialism and your default frame of reference, and reconnecting with all people and the planet to promote a healthier world. It often means actively undoing subconscious reactions as well as ideas you currently hold consciously.
You are still acting in outdated and ignorant ways that harm yourself, the planet, and people around you. You need to Deconolonize Yourself.

Indigenous Activists:" RACIST COLONIZER BIGOT. You better DECOLONIZE YOURSELF."
Person: "OK ill decolonize myself right NOW"
*Person adopts native culture and tradition wholeheartedly*
Indigenous Activists: "Better."
