I can't breathe.

"...a slogan associated with the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States. The phrase is derived from the words of Eric Garner in 2014. The phrase was also uttered by several other African-American men (Anton Black, Javier Ambler, Derrick Scott, Manuel Ellis, Elijah McClain, Byron Williams, and George Floyd), indicating that they had patent airways, shortly before they died during their arrests between 2018 and 2020, respectively."

Westerners are fond of the saying ‘Life isn’t fair.’ Then, they end in snide triumphant: ‘So get used to it!’  What a cruel, sadistic notion to revel in! What a terrible, patriarchal response to a child’s budding sense of ethics. Announce to an Iroquois, ‘Life isn’t fair,’ and her response will be: ‘Then make it fair!’ This is the matriarchal approach to learning.
