 my keffiyeh feels like a hug, but a kid got shot for wearing his, so maybe i should only wear it at home. i posted this and someone said it's an ambiguous statement like a flag or a slogan, and someone said don't forget you are white. i don't feel it's an ambiguous statement, and i can never forget i'm white, but can't i feel feel solidarity with oppressed people. am i trapped in whiteness? ambiguous means open to interpretation or having a double meaning or unclear or inexact because a choice between alternatives has not been made. a choice has been made, but of course everything is open to interpretation. i think the ambiguity arises in the mind, and we may do well to follow our gut and our heart.
