“ The nigger is America's greatest asset and its biggest fear ”
Our struggle has inspired oppressed people the world over, because if former slaves can make the most powerful nation face itself, there's a chance for everyone else. In a twist, our rage becomes hope for others.
~ Mychal Denzel Smith
Anger is what makes our struggle visible, and our struggle is what exposes the hypocrisy of a nation that fashions itself a moral leader. To rise against the narrative and expose the lie gives opportunity to those whose identity depends on the lie to question and, hopefully, change.
We shouldn't be seeking the respect of an unjust system that will not respect us on the basis of our humanity alone.
