Internal Resources Cannot Replace External Support and Justice for Jordan Neely
from ReRooting
Rebelle discusses their frustration over the overarching narrative that posits that people get through hard times only through bravery, hard work, and resilience without taking into account the contexts in which many people's hardships derive from. Most of which have to do with people being in situations where have limited or no access to resources. Placing blame on an individual not being "strong" enough to leave an abusive relationship, too lazy for being hungry, unhoused, and without consistent work puts the focus on the wrong people and issues and creates a volatile and, for too many, fatal reality.While Rebelle recorded the episode prior to the murder of Jordan Neely, they added an intro to pay homage to him and those that continue to be discarded by society.
