“White supremacy in itself triggers white fragility.”

“Power is the ability to define a phenomenon and make it act in a desired manner.” - Huey P. Newton

“Power is always operating off of a paradox or contradictions.”

“Black labor gets separated from black flesh.”

“It should be the new norm, being politically aware of who is using our tax dollars and how they’re using it.”

“White people listen to white people but black people are the ones who are going to teach them how to get this work started, how to really get in there and get your hands dirty, cause that’s our history, that’s what we’ve done.  It takes a lot for us to get where we are.”

‘Power only wants to listen to power and privilege only wants to listen to privilege.”
