If folks would stop for a second and study how racism (or the economics of privilege) works for NO ONE'S benefit, there would be a chance they would begin to organize more for humanity as opposed to their own benefit. They would organize their people, then organize with everyone else.

" When nonviolence is preached by the representatives of the state, while the state doles out heaps of violence to its citizens, it reveals itself to be a con. And none of this can mean that rioting or violence is "correct" or "wise," any more than a forest fire can be "correct" or "wise." Wisdom isn't the point tonight. Disrespect is. In this case, disrespect for the hollow law and failed order that so regularly disrespects the community."

-Ta-Nehisi Coates
