“There must be a new consensus on understanding the role of race in defining the basic structure of our society.”
“As the debate over how much of a problem systemic racism is in this country rages on, its impact on black and brown people continues, largely unnoticed by those who take a colorblind view of race in America. Every struggle for equality- whether through acts of peaceful protest or militant self-defense- has been met with violence, resistance and psychological defensiveness from a nation unwilling to extend the same human rights and privileges described in the Declaration of Independence to People of Color within these borders. In order for equality to truly exist in this great nation, the demand and work for it must come not from the Black community, but from the White one.”
