“For Black Americans, the [American] Revolution replaced a distant white supremacist tyrant supportive of Black enslavement with local and electable white supremacist tyrants empowered to preserve the existing social, political, and economic order, which was grounded in slavery and anti-Blackness. The Revolution was not merely imperfect; it was not true.”

“Much of the hard work in protection is about proving that a double standard exists in terms of who is awarded rights, citizenship, and humanity, and preventing the double standard from causing harm. Until Black and oppressed peoples are able to be and belong, protective collective action will be required.”

“There is no form of protest white supremacy will approve. Whether Black people take a knee or burn down the QuikTrip, the backlash will always be the same. Appeasing white power structures will not work. And when nonviolence is not successful, it is likely because nonviolence is being used as a tool to suppress change. Only by force can freedom be gained.”
