Here is my attempt at translating the second ending theme of Creamy Mami. As always, let me know if you spot any errors. I plan on translating Bin Kan Rouge sometime soon as well.

IT’S DONE…….

I have no idea where this comic came from and I didn’t even know how it was going to end when it started… so… I’m sorry it’s bittersweet.

Chronologically I imagine it happened not long after this comic, where Sanji first realised his crush, and now he’s in WAY too deep.

“Don’t worry bro, just look at how we do it!” 

Becoming Anti-Racist by Dr. Andrew M. Ibrahim

Fear Zone:

I deny racism is a problem.

I avoid hard questions.

I strive to be comfortable. 

I talk to others who look and think like me. 

Learning Zone:

I recognize racism is a present and current problem

I seek out questions that make me uncomfortable.

I understand my own privilege in ignoring racism.

I educate myself about race and structural racism. 

I am vulnerable about my own biases and knowledge gap. 

I listen to others who think and look differently than me.

Growth Zone:

I identify how I may unknowingly benefit from racism.

I promote and advocate for policies and leaders that are Anti-Racist. 

I sit with my discomfort.

I speak out when I see racism in action.

I educate my peers how racism harms our professions.

I don’t let my mistakes deter me from being better.

I yield positions of power to those otherwise marginalized.

I surround myself with others who think and look differently than me. 

The public is waking up to the idea of seeing a problem in their community and fixing it ourselves, and the state can’t do shit to counter that narrative. They’ve always positioned themselves as the only solution to problems that can’t otherwise be solved, so people discovering direct action is fatal to their legitimacy. They relied on shaping our minds from birth to see it as unthinkable, just not how things work, for it to never once cross our minds as we watch our neighbors die. So now the only case they can make for their continued existence is “wouldn’t you rather do things the slower, less reliable, less effective way?” and no one’s fucking hearing it anymore

Just because voting has not been effective on it’s own to make the changes we desperately need in this country, doesn’t mean we should throw that right away and ignore it.

In a battle, you keep and use every weapon you can carry. You don’t toss a perfectly good sword in the dumpster because you happened to find a flame-thrower. I mean, sure, Flamey McBadass is more emotionally satisfying, but that doesn’t make the sword worthless. It’s still a fucking sword. Strap it to your belt and use it whenever you can.

Voting is the single most powerful action a citizen can take within this system. It is the means of tearing down a corrupt govt from inside it’s fortress walls, while continuing to attack it from the outside. It’s another weapon in your arsenal. Use it. There is zero reason not to.

“Voting is the single most powerful action?” LMAO, I can think of a thousand more powerful actions. Paying for somebodies bail is more powerful. Sharing your car with your neighbor so she can take her kids on their first vacation in a decade is more powerful. Filling up potholes is more powerful. Volunteering at a shelter is more powerful.

PS: none of you fuckers actually do vote and riot or tear down statues either. You’re ‘we can do both’ is just a way to avoid conflict while slapping your propaganda under every post we make. Nobody’s fooled. We know that if you’d be at the protest, you’d most likely be nagging about voting there too.
