This is the time of women rising and I speak to white women particularly when I say we cannot bury our heads in the sand any longer. This is heartbreaking work, so protect your state of mind as needed, but our mission is not to turn away because it’s too brutal. Our Black sisters and Native American sisters have been carrying the brunt and knowledge of these crimes alone for too long.

The vast majority of us are shocked at the horrors being revealed in the files, but THEY aren’t shocked because these horrors aren’t an evil birthed in the modern age, but crimes that have been being perpetrated against them since our country’s inception. Crimes whose memories have been carried in their bloodlines from their ancestors, that for far too long have stayed hidden in the dark. Crimes that continue to this day.

Men using women and children’s bodies for their sexual pleasure and most deviant evil fantasies, including hunting human lives for sport, is not new. White men believing they can use and abuse women and children for their own sick crimes started centuries ago, when our forefathers decided the white man reigned supreme and had no conscience over what he did to people who he was taught to believe were not as human or valuable as him. We acknowledge white women were also participants and silent observers in these crimes.

White women need to find our inner strength and educate ourselves regarding the truth of the foundations and beliefs regarding our country’s history and stand with our black sisters and Native American sisters and tell them we see it now. We see it and they no longer have to carry the burden of rectifying this evil alone. We are your sisters who have awakened, and we will face these souless predators not just standing shoulder to shoulder with you but standing in front of you. Telling you that it took too long, but we see it now and you no longer carry this burden alone.
