Michael Eric Dyson Zitate

When white supremacy becomes institutional, it begins to harm the very people who are not simply outside of it because of their race, it begins to harm the folk who look like the folk who want to be in charge. Martin Luther King, Jr., understood this, Malcolm X understood this, James Baldwin really understood this.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wenn die weiße Vorherrschaft institutionell wird, fängt sie an, den Menschen zu schaden, die sich aufgrund ihrer Rasse nicht einfach außerhalb befinden. Sie fängt an, den Menschen zu schaden, die wie die Leute aussehen, die die Verantwortung übernehmen wollen. Martin Luther King Jr. hat dies verstanden, Malcolm X hat das verstanden, James Baldwin hat das wirklich verstanden.

We talk about how hard it is now. But if we look back at the '60s, we actually had a president that was assassinated. We had riots, we had Vietnam, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, the FBI, and the Black Panther war. There was so much happening at the time where it felt like America was coming apart at the seams.

If the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is to live, our babies must live. Our mothers must choose life. If we refuse to answer the cry of mercy from the unborn, and ignore the suffering of the mothers, then we are signing our own death warrants.
