What matters is ending suffering and bringing about justice. In other words, ending white supremacy matters! Bullshitting, that is, engaging in tactics to derail true resistance, matters to those determined to maintain white supremacy.

White supremacist depictions of Black women erase an entire legacy of the Black struggle.

By contrast, over 63% of white females in Alabama couldn’t imagine Black women getting in the way of sending the patriarch to Washington DC.

For me, the profound Age of Anxiety, Bernstein’s second symphony, linking poetry to music, music to poetry, is a response to the perpetuation of the irrational and the inhumane of the 20th Century.
