“No, I’m not an American. I’m one of the 22 million black people who are the victims of Americanism. One of the 22 million black people who are the victims of democracy, nothing but disguised hypocrisy. So, I’m not standing here speaking to you as an American, or a patriot, or a flag-saluter, or a flag-waver—no, not I. I’m speaking as a victim of this American system. And I see America through the eyes of the victim. I don’t see any American dream; I see an American nightmare.”

“These concerns operate from an assumption that racial tensions come from discussion, rather than the conditions these discussions arise in response to. Instead of telling the truth about the foundations of racial power and how it exists in the present, young minds are taught a comforting narrative of national innocence.”
